The spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 423, leaked ahead of its official release, shed light on a significant revelation regarding the series’ main trio.
While Mirio Togata, Tamaki Amajiki, and Nejire Hado were initially introduced as the Big Three of U.A. High School, the developments in this chapter affirmed that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki are, in fact, the series’ Origin trio.
In many manga series, the main trio often plays a pivotal role in confronting the central antagonist. Chapter 423 spoilers depicted Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist, engaging in a final battle against Shigaraki Tomura and All For One.
Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki Shine as the Origin Trio
However, Deku’s efforts were not solitary; he received crucial assistance from both Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki, solidifying their roles as integral members of the Origin trio.
The chapter revealed a moment where Deku, needing to land a decisive blow on All For One, found himself unable to reach the villain.
This is where Bakugo intervened unexpectedly, using his explosive abilities to propel Deku towards All For One. Despite being hospitalized, Bakugo’s presence in the battlefield underscored his significance as the series’ deuteragonist.

Similarly, Todoroki played a vital supporting role by creating an ice ramp to aid Deku in reaching All For One. Though not directly engaging in combat, Todoroki’s contribution highlighted his importance as the tritagonist of the series.
The trio’s collective efforts culminated in Deku’s victory over All For One, aided by Shigaraki Tomura’s defeat within the vestige world. As Shigaraki’s body crumbled in the real world, signaling the demise of both him and All For One, it became evident that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki were the linchpins in bringing about this outcome.
This development solidifies their status as the Origin trio, as their respective roles and contributions align with their importance in the series. Deku, as the protagonist, took center stage in defeating the villain, while Bakugo and Todoroki provided crucial support, each according to their role as the deuteragonist and tritagonist.
Furthermore, the fact that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki are the only characters from the main trio to have their own “Origin” chapters in the manga further reinforces their significance to the overarching narrative. Thus, based on the revelations in chapter 423, it is evident that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki rightfully claim the title of the Origin trio in My Hero Academia.
