Alright, so we got My Hero Academia Chapter 385 Spoilers, and this chapter is super significant because something is happening that I have personally been waiting for since I got into this series. Now I didn’t start from the very beginning; I think it actually started ten years ago, but this is more so like a season two stuff, which is around seven or eight years in the manga, but yeah, pretty exciting stuff.
We see that the chapter begins with the map of the Gunga Battle, which shows us who is fighting and also the army of Twices. We also see that the weapon of Mt. Lady breaks, but at the same time, Yui throws another weapon at her, who says that it is a Detnerat item that was lying previously on the ground, and then he makes it bigger with the help of his quirk.
So this means that we saw a similar strategy we saw in the previous chapters in this unit taking on All For One here; Yui has the Size Quirk or should I say Yui Class 1B has, the quirk where she could like increase the size of the objects or just the nonliving things, I am pretty sure.
So she was able to make things bigger to give Mt. Lady weapons, but in this chapter, we see Yui taking a Detnerat item. Detnerat is the company that Re-Destro owned, you know, the leader of the Paranormal Liberation Front, so it is probably a powerful support item, but also kind of like, why don’t the heroes have stuff like this!!
My Hero Academia 385 Spoilers
Horikoshi never really fleshed that out too much, at least not outside of the UA, but I assume that this is gonna come back because Mt. Lady really needs something; she is really limited, considering that all she can do is really get big both her and Tokoyami are panting.
We then see that both of them go for another attack. We also witness that Hawks apologizes to the team for not being so helpful to them and only serving the support function there, but at the same time, Tokoyami says that only Hawks’ support is making Dark Shadow Balr strong, but then from nowhere, someone attacks Mt. Lady right onto her stomach.
With this, Mt. Lady falls to the ground, and everyone shouts her name, and we find out that the next target is going to be Machia, who gets hit form a laser beam which causes his fall and starts bleeding.
The scene changes to All For One, where we see that he is also heavily injured but, at the same time, is also trying to recover very fast; where he says that the younger he becomes, the harder it will be for the heroes to defeat them.
As currently, All For One does not have any skin or legs; he looks worse than Shigaraki after being hit by the USA bomb. So that is pretty wild, I guess he looks even worse than what we saw previously, like Shigaraki pretty much looked like a corpse taking on after getting hit by the missiles, but they do have a similar sort of Quirks here, so its understandable that All For One can come back from this or just exists in that state.
In addition to that, we also see that in that state, as we saw in the previous chapter, Machia had like a sudden face, I don’t know if it is completely a face, but I am pretty sure that at the end of the series but he is certainly turned on All For One because he thinks that All For One abandoned him, which he did, but it was really an abrupt change, but anyway, he is still attacking him here.
Even Machia, probably the most durable character outside of the Big, Shigaraki, All For One, and Izuku, and even he can not stand up to these lasers. I can’t see him on the page, but considering what they have been looking like lately, with place aesthetic, since he is gotten younger, I assume that this is similar to the laser or whatever energy manipulation quirk that he was using against Nana, back in the All Might rising prequel.
All For One’s Laser Shot
Later in the chapter, we see that All For One shoots another laser-like attack that, sadly, completely destroys the Dark Shadow. During this, All For One attacks both Hawk and Tokoyami, but Hawks comes forward, reduces the damage for Tokoyami, and gets heavily injured.
After noticing how powerful his own attacks are, All For One is impressed and says that “It is really good to be young again, and he is enjoying it.”
So yeah, All For One is rewinding, as we saw in using that experimental airy derivative thing that Yujiko made, and he is currently like a teenager, but it is really hard to say, but he is not at the age that he was before for sure, and I guess even at this age, he is just superpower full, I mean I don’t know if this is his prime, but I guess it is close to it.
After that, we see that Kirishima and Shinsou worry about them and Inasa tells everyone to keep attacking but at the same time, it is useless. After that, we see a blank black panel, and next to that, we see All For One has defeated all the heroes on the field and is also holding Hawks by the neck, and Tokoyami is lying next to them, unconscious.
So yeah, everyone is pretty much defeated at this point; I am not even sure if Dark Shadow can be killed; I guess you would have to remove the Quirk factor from Tokoyami completely, but speaking of that, All For One says that he wants to steal Tokoyami’s quirk, and this is why Hawks should get out of the way because he has done too much already.
All For One Took Hawks’ Quirk
Later, we see that Hawks somehow manages to pierce the chest of All For One with his sword, but there is not any considerable effect of it where we see All For One saying that “Small wings grow on my back.”
I think this means that Al For One has already stolen Hawks’ quirk, right? I mean, we cannot see the panels or page yet, but this is what it sounds like; getting stabbed allowed One For All to get close enough, and he just took it.
so hawks lost his quirk and is possibly dead, stain makes his return, dabi is a walking skeleton and the heroes are taking Lβs left and right

If that is the case, then this means that Hawks is quirkless from now on, and this is also a great way for All For One to be able to go to UA because once he gets Hawks’ quirk, he will grow the wings and as it says here and then he could just fly there, unimpeded pretty much.
I always kind of felt like the Hawks were going to quirkless or something, or at least just lose his wings completely, I mean, it already felt like that because he is so nerfed, but I guess this is a fitting fate for Hawks, I guess it is supposed to go the Icarus stuff but I would rather he just loses his quirk than die of course.

Later in the chapter, we see that All For One says to Hawks that he is impressed with him because he keeps fighting even when he has a very little quirk factor left. With that, Hawks comments that it is very unfair to see that the number of quirks he has doesn’t decrease even though his body is rewinding.
Mineta Supremacy
When it seems like everyone has lost, a Mineta ball from nowhere shows and sticks to All For One’s leg, who says that stealing dark shadow will only make All For One an edgy weirdo similar to Tokoyami, and this is why he should steal his own Pop Off Quirk instead. This is when All For One when stares at the crying eyes of Mineta; he remembers Jirou, another weakling.

I guess this is gonna be Mineta’s ultimate moment in the series; I really wouldn’t be surprised at this point if he has some big part in the downfall of All For One.
Later in the chapter, this was when All For One thinks to himself that he should not waste any more time there and then just straight up flew away. In the air, when he sees the press helicopter nearby, he mocks the heroes and says that they are going to see this moment once again after all this.
