Alleged spoilers and raw scans for the upcoming installment of Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia manga were leaked online. While these leaks are not officially confirmed by Shueisha, the series’ spoiler process has a track record of accuracy, aligning with official releases.
One of the most notable revelations from the leaked details was a comment from Horikoshi himself, shared by series leaker @RukasuMHA on X/Twitter. Horikoshi expressed that his manga is not the type to “immediately end after the fighting is done,” indicating that the series will continue for a while longer. This reassured fans who feared a rushed or incomplete conclusion to the series.
My Hero Academia Creator’s Post-Chapter 424 Comment Hints at Series Continuing for the Foreseeable Future
Chapter 424’s alleged title, “Epilogue,” suggests that the manga will soon come to a close. However, fans can expect several chapters dedicated to tying up loose ends and providing updates on characters, quirks, and unresolved plotlines. Horikoshi’s mention of “going back to the title” implies a return to the “Academia” aspect of the series, focusing on Deku and his classmates experiencing a relatively normal school life.
The fate of antagonist Tenko Shimura/Tomura Shigaraki seems to be sealed, with indications pointing towards his physical demise after All For One took over his body. However, there is speculation that Shigaraki’s vestige could resurface, potentially leading to a new major plot point. Additionally, Deku’s relinquishment of One For All and the presence of its embers within him hints at a possible new quirk born from merging One For All and All For One.
Horikoshi's comment in this week's Jump:
"Writing conventions say that the conclusion of a story should be short, but this is not the type of manga that can immediately end after the fighting is done, so I'll keep going for a little while. We're going back to the title"— Rukasu (@RukasuMHA) May 30, 2024
Fans are also eager for updates on other villains like Hero Killer Stain, Himiko Toga, and Toya Todoroki (Dabi), whose statuses remain unclear since their last appearances. Given their popularity, it’s likely that Horikoshi will address their fates before the series concludes.
While Horikoshi may have surprises in store, it’s anticipated that the remaining chapters will primarily focus on resolving character arcs and plot threads. Chapter 424 seemingly covered the final conversation between Deku, All Might, and Bakugo, suggesting that other characters have already received their arc conclusions during the war. With this in mind, fans expect no more than 10 remaining chapters to wrap up the series.
