Chapter 376 of My Hero Academia manages to be a respectably entertaining and thrilling issue, especially considering how short it is at only 9 pages. When the series goes back to its usual serialisation schedule and issue length, this issue will set the stage for a thrilling run of chapters. Meanwhile, the UA Students at Gunga Mountains struggle to come up with a plan of action in My Hero Academia chapter 376, while also teasing All For One’s ultimate plot. Many readers were frustrated by the issue’s short length, but at least it effectively utilises its relatively little nine pages. Future occurrences are the primary subject of My Hero Academia Chapter 376.
Disturbed pairings and new strategies in My Hero Academia 376
The events at the opening of My Hero Academia chapter 376 include Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui slipping out of Kurogiri’s portal and into a world of insanity. As Uraraka expresses his regret at not having a chance to tell Himiko Toga he loves her, the world around them erupts in flames or is overrun by Twice clones. As Toga tells Uraraka that she is no longer a girl in love, she temporarily sheds her Twice persona. At the same time, other Pro Heroes and UA Students are attempting to fight the horde of Twice clones and Dabi’s scorching flames. Fumikage Tokoyami and Kyouka Jiro spot Uraraka and Asui in midair and quickly grab them.
Tsuyu notes that Jiro is missing an ear, but she counters that she should count herself lucky because the only other consequence for challenging All For One was losing an ear. Tokoyami observes that the conflict is becoming more and more chaotic, while Jiro concludes that Toga is behind the Twice clones. Even though Uraraka warns that they would swarm all over Japan if nothing is done, Tokoyami brings up the point that Dabi’s flames are hot and Toga’s unending repetition is a problem. After the failure of their plot, the focus of My Hero Academia chapter 376 switches to a conflict between Endeavor and Dabi. Tokoyami remarks that this is no longer combat. The former knows that Shoto’s manoeuvre caused the flames on the latter’s chest, and he asks Dabi what happened to Shoto.
In response, Dabi explains that he was unable to bring Shoto’s body as a gift for Endeavor and that this means his goal would never be fully realised. Here he taunts Endeavor, suggesting that one of the people he cares about and tries to protect will make it through the battle unscathed. Meanwhile, All For One is laughing at the events before him and having an inner monologue about them. He claims assuredly that things are shifting in his favour and his strategy is beginning to take shape. Kurogiri has gone to where Tomura Shigaraki is, as accurately deduced by All For One, who also observes that he would be better served by having Warp Gate rather than Mud Wrap at the moment.
He then says it doesn’t matter since he’ll take advantage of the confusion and go to Shigaraki. Later in Chapter 376 of My Hero Academia, All For One takes to the air and flies toward Shigaraki, only to be caught by the Hawks. During a teasing exchange, All For One reminds Hawks that he needs to settle Twice’s final wishes before anything else. Hawks give him a confident grin and ask, “What’s your hurry?” since he knows Shigaraki doesn’t have as much faith in him as he lets on. Hawks was right, and All For One backs him up by agreeing that “that thing” isn’t done yet. Hawks yells to Endeavor that the strategy of splitting the group in two has backfired.
He claims that he still has some urgent business to take care of. Hawks then urges Endeavor to intervene, saying that only Toya can withstand Dabi’s fires and that they must prevent him from reaching Deku and Shigaraki. Hawks have been labelled callous by All For One, who claims that he is expecting a guy who has lost an arm and is barely awake to shirk his responsibility to end All For One entirely. Because this allegation plainly annoys All For One, Hawks urges him to stop by joking that he’s already lost to Endeavor once. Chapter 376 of My Hero Academia concludes with a shot of Dabi charging at Endeavor, who thinks to himself, “This time, I’ll watch after Toya.”
Chapter 376 of My Hero Academia concludes
Though brief, My Hero Academia chapter 376 does a great job of setting up what’s to come in the near future of the series. It’s possible that Endeavor and Dabi’s tensions will boil over in a fight in the next few chapters, and that Hawks will do everything he can to restrict the activities of All For One. Based on what we saw in Chapter 376 of My Hero Academia, the UA Students who have gathered at the battleground in the Gunga Mountains want to do all in their power to defeat Toga and his clone army Twice. The chapter makes it seem like they’re helpless but this is probably just a set-up for their big reveal later on.
