Chapter 424 of My Hero Academia, set to be released on June 3, 2024, has already had its spoilers leaked, confirming a significant time skip following the climax of the final war. While fans were initially concerned that this time skip might gloss over important post-war events, the next chapter’s title, “Epilogue,” along with creator Kohei Horikoshi’s comments, suggests that the series will continue to satisfy fans’ expectations by addressing these events in the coming chapters.
The spoilers reveal that the chapter begins a few days after the final war. Heroes are shown recovering and rebuilding society. Pro-Heroes Cemestoss and Salaam are seen constructing new buildings to replace those destroyed in the battle against Shigaraki.
My Hero Academia’s Long-Awaited Timeskip Arrives
The scene then shifts to a hospital where doctors inform Bakugo that his hands are fatally injured. He is faced with a choice between robotic replacements or undergoing rehabilitation. Bakugo chooses rehab, hoping to restore his hands’ normal function, influenced by his thoughts about Deku’s situation.
In another scene, All Might and Deku discuss the aftermath of the war. Deku expresses his sorrow over not being able to save Shigaraki and reveals that he still has some remnants of One for All, ensuring that he will not end up quirkless. Bakugo joins them, and All Might praises both heroes for their growth and achievements. The chapter concludes with glimpses of Class 1-A students marching toward U.A. High School, signaling their determination to move forward.
Fans were initially worried that chapter 423, which abruptly ended the arcs of All for One and Tomura Shigaraki, signaled a premature conclusion to the series. However, chapter 424’s time skip only spans a few days, and Horikoshi’s comments about the upcoming chapters suggest a more detailed wrap-up of the story.
He hints that contrary to conventional storytelling, My Hero Academia will not end immediately after the fighting but will instead continue to explore the characters’ journeys and the aftermath of the war.
The title of the next chapter, “Epilogue,” along with Horikoshi’s remarks, indicates that the series will provide a thorough conclusion. This might include the graduation of the U.A. High students and possibly flashbacks that detail each character’s journey. Fans can look forward to seeing what happens to their favorite characters after the war, ensuring a satisfying end to the series.
