My Hero Academia Chapter 370 was just released, and it picks off right where chapter 369 left off—with the ongoing struggle against AFO and his followers. For this chapter, instead of focusing on Deku and AFO, the focus shifted to Spinner and Shoji. The chapter may not have had as much action as others, but it did provide readers with a better understanding of the disparities that exist in the Hero Society. In last week’s instalment, we saw Deku give AFO a taste of his own medicine by unleashing OFA’s full strength. The antagonist’s fury grew as he stated that Spinner was the key to his triumph. Both Spinner and Shoji’s pasts were explored in My Hero Academia chapter 370, with the latter’s and the former’s hardships being directly related to their physical features.
What went on in the last chapter? (Recap)
The Second User’s battle with AFO was depicted in a flashback at the start of My Hero Academia chapter 369. The Symbol of Evil in the current day was taken aback by the increasing potency of the Second’s Quirk. AFO has been badly damaged thanks to Deku’s usage of this ability and the other OFA abilities. After whining about the combat being unfair, the bad guy let forth a string of nine unexplained illuminations.
Mutants revolt
The events at the beginning of My Hero Academia chapter 370 took place in a flashback to Spinner’s past. The man with the lizard face had a difficult childhood because of his unusual looks. The residents of his community shunned him and victimised him at every opportunity. They even went so far as to suggest that no matter how much society advances, he would never be welcome in their house. After the flashback finished, the narrator revealed that the events of the chapter took place just before Dabi was defeated. Reports of Kurogiri’s detention in Jaku’s Central Hospital reached AFO. Since Kurogiri was his finest work, he absolutely had to have the Nomu in his possession. The Diabolical One despatched Spinner to free the bartender with an army of fifteen thousand criminals and mutants. In an effort to avoid harming the innocent bystanders, Present Mic was attempting to catch them. The mutants, however, were willing to give their lives for the cause and defended themselves against his assaults.
Behind Mic, a mutant with wings sprang out, spearing the Hero with a pitchfork. Luckily, a group of birds flew in at the perfect time and rescued him. Koda, in charge of the flock, worriedly checked in with his instructor to see if he was all right. Mic thanked the young man and then inquired about Shoji’s whereabouts. During the assault, Koda said they have split apart. The nearby police were desperately trying to contain the rioters, but they were vastly outnumbered. There were only around 200 persons defending Jaku’s Hospital from danger (including police and Heroes).
There were a lot of mutants around Rock Lock, and they all wanted to murder the Hero. The demonstrators insisted that no one with a human appearance could possibly feel what they were going through. After spying on Koda, another band of mutants went over to murder him. In response to Koda’s request for them to stop, one of the mutants labelled him a traitor to his kind, thereby silencing him.
The Manifesto of the Mutant
A member of the Paranormal Liberation Front addressed his fellow mutants in the next segment of My Hero Academia (chapter 370). The guy asserted that eventually, his people will be free from society’s ill effects. The past crimes done upon mutants were brought back to mind. The Great Jedi Purge and the 6/6 event were also mentioned by him.
There was no other justification for the atrocities, he said, other than the fact that people were afraid of mutants. Those in Hero Society pretended as if nothing had occurred as if they had forgotten the suffering they had caused mutants. He acknowledged that in large urban centres, people are making strides toward a more accepting culture.
Mutants like Nezu and the Chief of Police held prominent positions and were treated with respect throughout the metropolis. The situation for mutants outside of cities was far worse. The villain removed his mask, revealing a face covered with wounds, giving him an insect appearance. The villain went on to say that the heroes’ shining example never made it to their sleepy villages. Mic and Rock Lock weren’t mutant heroes because they were weak. Instead, they put all their hope in Spinner. Many of the protesters were waving banners that included the image of Spinner.
Time for Shoji to show up
Chapter 370 of My Hero Academia then depicted an enormous Spinner strutting the streets of the city while carrying a massive sword. Before the battle, it was revealed that AFO had given him more Quirks, which had rendered him unstable and unpredictable. While his brain was mush, the man knew he had to go get Kurogiri. Shoji intervened just before Spinner was about to use his sword to slash through a throng of police officers. With an Octo Blow, the youthful Hero brought the bad guy crashing to the earth. The mutants who had been around Spinner went enraged and attacked Shoji, calling him a traitor.
The rioters were too many for the child to mount any sort of counterattack. He started talking to them anyhow. If they wanted equality, he questioned, why did they strike a hospital? The young Hero then pointed out to the rioters that the first thing the Heroes did in the first conflict was to save the civilians. Shoji probed his attackers, inquiring as to whether or not they had a strategy to protect the defenceless. The final panel of My Hero Academia chapter 370 showed an unmasked, enraged Shoji.
Thoughts in Concluding
Even if the events in My Hero Academia Chapter 370 weren’t as exciting as those of the preceding few chapters, they were nonetheless crucial. The public should not trust the heroic portrayal of Hero Society promoted by the Hero Commission. Mutants and those with “evil” Quirks are the most in touch with this truth. Despite the fact that this issue has been broached several times, it has never received significant screen time. For the sake of a brighter future for humanity, the show has to go deeper into this theme before it wraps up. Let’s hope the show eventually gives this problem the attention it deserves.
