Information about the plot of My Hero Academia chapter 377 was leaked more than a week before the chapter was officially released. Because of the holiday season, the manga is taking a week off from updates. Fans have been worried about manga artist Kohei Horikoshi’s health, but this new 11-page chapter gives them a reason to be optimistic. The conflict at U.A. High is the centrepiece of Chapter 377 of My Hero Academia, as was to be expected. As Skeptic threatens to bring the flying fortress crashing down, tensions between Deku and Shigaraki reach a boiling point.
But an old foe is back to aid the heroes in their fight against Skeptic. This section contains spoilers for My Hero Academia, Chapter 377. watch as Monoma’s grip over Erasure slips as Shigaraki and Deku argue some more. Chapter 377 of My Hero Academia is titled, approximately, the Sequence of Occurrences That Led to Our Current Predicament.
The heroes are in difficulty, and the narrator of My Hero Academia chapter 377 explains that the divide-and-conquer strategy has backfired. Pictured in this chapter is a windswept field of cherry blossoms, with a single hand reaching out to grab a falling petal. Back at U.A. High, Present Mic appears out of nowhere to inform Aizawa that the mission has gone off the rails.
Also, a Twice clone arrives and begins to breed. While Aizawa, Manual, and Monoma are attacked, the hero student’s attention is diverted away from Shigaraki. In the aftermath of the massive blast, the floating stronghold begins to collapse. While this is going on, Shigaraki inquires whether Midoriya would want to talk since he has been inquiring as to whether or not Tomura is still present. He elaborates by saying it doesn’t matter because Tomura is Deku’s antagonist. Tomura’s return to self-expression is signalled by his usage of “Ore” by Deku.
The scenario is reported by Mandalay, but Skeptic is still in the U.A. system hacking it and appears to have gained control. After utilising Gear Shift, Deku realises he needs to rest his cells or he won’t be able to breathe for a while. However, the Second User is aware that AFO is struggling to manage Tomura because of the link between OFA and AFO. He advises Deku to make the most of the circumstances. My Hero Academia Chapter 377 begins with a silhouette appearing on one of Skeptic’s screens and saying, “Found you.” The voice says that although it was difficult to find Skeptic, they are happy because it was for Gentle’s sake. The scene then cuts to La Brava hacking Skeptic while Tsukauchi watches.
Speculations
The hand shown on the opening page of the raw scans for My Hero Academia chapter 377 is likely that of Gentle Criminal and not La Brava, who appears to be too old to have that particular trait. This is probably an old recollection, but it completes the story arc of the Gentle Criminal. The fact that Tomura attempts to persuade Deku that it’s pointless to try to save him, and then the next chapter has La Brava come to the Heroes’ aid, demonstrates that it’s never too late.
In the end, those who advocate for La Brava’s rehabilitation are vindicated when they argue that giving her a second opportunity was the best course of action. Interesting to note is that even though Kurogiri has already delivered Mic and the Twice clone to U.A. High, he has not yet made a meaningful appearance there. It’s possible that Aizawa and Mic may have another shot at convincing Shirakumo to join them, but it’s also possible that they’ll need to learn to let go. Chapter 377 of My Hero Academia demonstrates that Deku has a chance to rescue Tomura from AFO’s control.
Tomura may now be utterly antagonistic, but Deku hasn’t given up hope that villains may be redeemed, a belief that will be reinforced by La Brava’s Appearance. Gear Shift may be one of Deku’s most effective quirks, but it also has a potentially lethal downside. Though I can see why the Second User would want to have Deku make the most of every situation, I don’t think it’s wise to force such a selfless individual into further peril. Since Monoma has stopped using erasure on Shigaraki, it’s uncertain how Deku will be able to defeat him, but maybe, he’ll have some unexpected support.
