Recap
The cherry blossoms of the fight between heroes and villains are the narrator’s recollections that open My Hero Academia Chapter 377. So, the heroes were put in a bind, and the bad guys had all the power. It was clear that a head-on clash would be disastrous given the vast numerical disparity between the two sides, so our heroes opted for a strategy that involved splitting their foes apart instead. However, the heroes’ divide-and-conquer tactic backfired due to the strong wind. As Eraserhead, Monoma, and Manual return to the U.A. Flying Fortress, a portal opens behind them. Eraserhead recognises the significance of Present Mic’s presence in the gateway and so has a firm grasp on the events unfolding before them.
Monoma looks away from AFO Shigaraki as Twice’s clones emerge through the portal and begin assaulting Eraserhead and the others. Afterwards, everyone is taken aback by the shock of a gigantic explosion that wipes out the U.A. power plant. The heroes can no longer blast replacement components to the surface since the power plant’s integrity has been compromised. And even if the electric barrier has not been breached, it is operating at a fraction of its original strength. Mandalay uses her power to inform the heroes that someone has taken over the system that keeps U.A. afloat and is not responding.
It has been determined that Skeptic is the hacker responsible for breaking into the University of Arizona’s computer network. The Phantom Thief may have been put unconscious, according to Mandalay’s assessment, and the monitoring island is currently under attack. In addition, Erasure is now useless, giving AFO Shigaraki a decent chance of evading capture. Mandalay emphasises to everyone that if U.A. crashes into Earth, AFO Shigaraki will annihilate the entire planet. Just before the bomb went off, something appeared to moult out of AFO Shigaraki’s back. Deku, puzzled, turns to AFO Shigaraki, asking whether or not he is still around. When Shigaraki answers Deku’s query, Deku is taken aback by the sudden realisation that Shigaraki’s old personality is slowly creeping back into him.
Deku takes into account the news from Mandalay in addition to Shigaraki’s sudden shift. U.A. will need to switch gears quickly if he ends up on the floor. He needs to keep U.A. from going down and prevent Shigaraki from escaping with the help of Kurogiri. The more he tries to outrun Shigaraki, the slower his gear change becomes. He risks losing the ability to breathe and fight if he does not give his cells time to rest. The second OFA user, however, is adamant that Deku keep fighting. After all, AFO’s fusion with Shigaraki’s body is gradually growing more unstable to his senses. Deku needs to keep going since it looks like Shigaraki is having trouble keeping his body under control. Over at the U.A., Skeptic is ecstatic about his newfound power. He thinks that in the name of emancipation, the heroes and scum of the old system will be eliminated. The subterranean shelter network is also under his entire command. The ex-villain who uploaded videos, La Brava, finally found him and joined the heroes’ side in the fight, dampening his initial elation.
On the evening of Tuesday, January 17, spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 378 were made available, revealing what many fans are calling one of the finest issues in recent memory. Fan favourites Gentle Criminal and Lady Nagant were among the villains revealed in the leaks to have rejoined the Pro Heroes. Although there were other intriguing elements to this issue, one specific nuance seems to have captured the attention of readers everywhere. At the end of Chapter 378 of My Hero Academia, All Might departed the secure war room with a suspicious bag in tow. There’s a chance that All Might’s story ends in My Hero Academia chapter 378 when he makes a grave and determined decision to leave the school forever.
Review of Chapter 378
At the start of My Hero Academia chapter 378, the long-held fan idea that La Brava once defeated Skeptic by hacking into his company’s network is proven true. She repeats the same action in the current day, prompting him to start his escape and transform his two most crucial computers into humanoids. Meanwhile, the police note that U.A. continues to decline, and La Brava explains that the previous system is too broken for her to continue. But she won’t arrive in time, and Tsukauchi starts having an inner monologue about how much he hates dealing with bad guys. On the other hand, Yuga Aoyama and the hope for transformation that he represents remain etched in his mind. The focus of My Hero Academia chapter 378 moves to the battleground between Deku and Shigaraki. Deku (Izuku Midoriya) reflects on what Tomura Shigaraki said during the conflict before, about how the difference between Heroes and Villains is their inability to comprehend each other.
The impending collapse of the school and the impending attack by the Twice clones cause widespread anxiety among the student body and the Pro Heroes. U.S. fighter pilots are debating whether or not to use lasers on the platform when all of a sudden, Gentle Criminal appears to be air-hopping over the water. The comic then flashes back to the heroes capturing Skeptic, with Tsukauchi and La Brava encouraging Gentle to give it his all. This triggers a flashback in which Gentle stops the Tartarus Escapees—including Muscular—from escaping from Mikuzu jail. After telling the cops that he wants to meet La Brava, the plot of My Hero Academia chapter 378 abruptly jumps back to the present, where he is using his Gently Super Lover to keep the entire platform aloft. Remembering the day he was unable to save a guy who had fallen from a building, Gentle wonders if that “young man” (Midoriya) is still struggling to defend someone’s smile. Even as Deku learns that Gentle is responsible, Shigaraki resumes her movements. Tsukauchi concludes his statement, claiming he has faith in their “root” deep in their souls, and Lady Nagant is then seen to have joined the fray, closing the chapter.
A scheme devised by All Might
In the middle of this, viewers watch All Might depart the premises, accompanied by Tsukauchi who is carrying a mystery luggage. Fans are left wondering what All Might’s plans are because of the lack of context provided in this issue. It’s much worse that he could be preparing to sacrifice himself because he’s unable to fight right now. The late Sir Nighteye predicted that All Might will perish in the current day of the series, yet there is no hint of this in My Hero Academia chapter 378 beyond what has previously been mentioned.
It’s likely that All Might’s acceptance of his “fate” and last showdown with All For One made this prophecy come true. How exactly he plans to risk his life to hurt All For One is unknown.
Whatever is in his bag, though, is probably certainly essential to the success of this scheme. It’s also plausible that, instead of going to All For One to sacrifice himself, he’s going to the battlefield to assist Midoriya in dealing with Tomura Shigaraki. However, with Lady Nagant and Gentle Criminal showing up on Deku’s battlefield in Chapter 378 of My Hero Academia, this seems implausible. It follows that All Might’s most likely strategy involves his giving his life to wiping out All For One’s core group. With the remnants of All For One gone, Midoriya can finally save Shigaraki. Midoriya can probably do this by connecting with Shigaraki and All For One’s consciousnesses through the mental realm that One For All grants him access to.
Latest Spoilers for Chapter 378
Chapter 378 of My Hero Academia is back after a two-week hiatus. According to today’s spoilers, more and more villains from the past are making a comeback in this fight. This section also delves into their locations and performance throughout the insurrection and the Tartarus split. My Hero Academia chapter 378 continues to centre on UA, and the chapter’s conclusion indicates that mangaka Horikoshi has no plans to divert attention elsewhere any time soon. A potential side plot involving All Might is also hinted at in this chapter. All Might’s hidden agenda is hinted at in My Hero Academia chapter 378, where Gentle Criminal and Lady Nagant join the heroes.
My Hero Academia chapter 378 will supposedly be named “The Story of How We All Became Heroes part 3.” In this chapter’s opening, La Brava recalls how, before she met Gentle, she would occasionally hack into Re-business Destro’s for fun and replace all the monitors with cartoon cats. Currently, she is doing the same thing to Skeptic, who immediately recognised her as the hacker that gave him so many problems back in Feel Good Inc. He attempts to escape by transforming two of his most crucial computers into humanoids, but he is soon surrounded by Ms Joke, Hound Dog, Shindou, and Nakagame. Tsukauchi dislikes dealing with villains, but he keeps Aoyama’s transformation in mind. Although La Brava has gained control of the UA system, she is unable to save it and must instead create a new system—a process that will take time—something the still-collapsing UA stronghold does not have. When the US planes stationed around UA spot Gentle Criminal running across the water, they decide against firing the Twice clones for fear of striking their comrades.
In a flashback, My Hero Academia chapter 378 reveals that Gentle Criminal not only refused to escape when Mikuzu jail was demolished by Muscular during the countrywide prison break, but he also stopped every prisoner from escaping. To show his appreciation for his service, he chose a meeting with La Brava as his prize. At the moment, Gentle supports the entire University of Alabama building on his Gently Super Lover. He thinks back on the day he didn’t intervene in time to save a drowning guy, and he wonders if Deku is still out there risking his life to keep someone else from losing theirs. Deku reflects on Shigaraki’s statements from the previous war, when he was a member of UA’s faculty, on how ignorance polarised people into heroes and villains. When Mandalay tells him about the device, which resembles an air trampoline, he understands that Gentle was responsible for breaking up the fall.
While Daigoro Banjo attempts to tell him that Shigaraki is still on the move, a bullet rips his hand apart as Tomura makes a move. When Deku glances up, he sees Lady Nagant aiming a rifle at Shigaraki from atop a nearby building. Tsukauchi comes to the conclusion that, despite being villains, they may find the motivation to do good in their roots. Meanwhile, on the final panel of My Hero Academia chapter 378, All Might is shown sneaking out of the control tower with a bag.
Concluding Ideas
The series has certainly reached a turning point with the reappearance of Gentle Criminal and Lady Nagant. Deku has been called out for quite some time for wanting to give the bad guys a second opportunity and showing sympathy for them. Still, in My Hero Academia chapter 378, his confidence is justified by the reappearance of three previously defeated adversaries. That leaves the door open for Todoroki and Uraraka to maybe persuade Dabi and Toga to give up after AFO. Long has it been theorised that All Might’s participation in the last battle will be more involved than merely supervising it. Although the specifics of All Might’s escape plot are obscured by chapter 378 spoilers, it is evident that he intends to take extreme steps in order to make his getaway.
Even Tsukauchi doesn’t seem to know about it. All Might is plagued by feelings of remorse since he has allowed youngsters to assume his responsibilities. Since the events of the Tartarus Escapees arc, his mental stability has been deteriorating, and he may soon make a hasty and ultimately suicidal decision. Even still, there are others who believe All Might will eventually turn against the heroes, despite the fact that nothing in the story has pointed in that direction.

An Overview of Chapter 377 of “My Hero Academia”
Our warriors are preparing for combat with the Paranormal Liberation Front, which includes All For One and Shigaraki, among others. They decided the best line of action would be to divide up the bad guys and eliminate them one by one. Even the bad guys are gearing up for the showdown in the end. In preparation for the big fight, class 1-A has been moved out of UA and into a different building. So that they might catch him and take his peculiarity, All For One orders Aoyama to isolate Midoriya from the others. But soon as the heroes emerge through the warp gate, Aoyama betrays him.
The heroes use the “Troy” defensive system to ensnare the baddies and hurl them through warp gates. Todoroki confronts Dabi, whose physical health has plummeted as a result of his over-reliance on his peculiarity. Dabi reveals his plans to wipe off his and Todoroki’s family because nothing changed at Endeavor after he was presumed dead. Todoroki responded by saying he would put a stop to Dabi’s insanity on his own.
