Boku No Hero Academia has been trending these days thanks to the recent manga chapter, where we see that a shocking event will happen to the protagonist of this story. The franchise recently gave us the news of its arrival to the Netflix streaming platform and previews about its new season that is very close to premiere. Now it brings us this tremendous twist in the story, which makes us worry as fans about the path that the work is taking. Attention this note contains some SPOILERS, so read with discretion.
Boku No Hero Academia story in manga surprises fans
To understand this dark and intense atmosphere that is invading Boku No Hero Academia, we must place ourselves in chapter 418 of the manga, which is titled “A Little Heart”. In order not to give spoilers about that chapter, we will only tell that the beginning goes back to that time when Shigaraki was little and discovered a factor that changed him completely causing a family tragedy, so the context is more than important to understand where the story is in its present time.
It is relevant that you remember the first time this event occurred, because now there is a very significant change and which is the reason for what will happen to our protagonist. One thing we can say is that this installment is full of drama, painful memories, sadness and regret. Note, the chapter ends without seeing Deku’ s tragic panel that is going viral in networks. This is because it is the first images that are revealed about the 419th episode that is about to premiere.
Boku No Hero Academia is getting out of control regarding what is happening with our heroes. First Professor Aizawa, then Mirko against Shigaraki in chapter 365, where she suffers an injury similar to Deku’s, leaving her with one arm and one leg, being that now it is Deku who suffers this serious injury, completely altering what will happen in the plot.
With the few panels we have been able to see about Boku No Hero Academia, we observe that Deku is very badly injured: thanks to Shigaraki’s quirk is that he ended up losing both arms. This is something that undoubtedly causes a great impact on readers, as seeing the protagonist fall in a fight in this way has been quite demotivating. Panic and nerves are starting to run high among fans who are wondering what the future of the manga will be.
Will All For One fulfill its mission, will evil triumph over good, all these questions will be resolved as new chapters are published. One thing that every fan wants right now is for someone to please give Horikoshi a break. We as fans are not ready for this great hero plot to end up turning into a dark and gloomy story that goes from bad to worse, where all hope is lost, just like what is happening with Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man.
This event in the manga is tied with the news that Horikoshi celebrates with a special illustration the 100 million copies in print of his manga Boku no Hero Academia, so it generates a bittersweet feeling. As we know, the final stretch is closer than we think, and as fans we have witnessed one of the most shocking battles of the work. These painful character developments that Deku, Mirko and Aizawa had could totally change the course of the story and thus the ending for our beloved heroes.
