Note: Kindly be advised that the following text contains spoilers for My Hero Academia Chapter 395, titled "Built Upon The Joy Of Others," written by Kohei Horikoshi, translated by Caleb Cook, and lettered by John Hunt. This chapter is accessible in English via MangaPlus.

My Hero Academia chapter 395 has recently been released, and it was expected to conclude the fight between Toga and Ochaco Uraraka. Horikoshi took fans on an intense journey as he brought Toga's story to a close in this week's chapter. Alongside glimpses of the battlefield and appearances by intriguing characters like Hawks, the main focus was on Toga and the path she had walked. A notable writing choice by Horikoshi was the portrayal of a villain performing a heroic act in the final moments of My Hero Academia chapter 395, sparking intrigue and debate among readers.

The Battlefield

In My Hero Academia chapter 395, the battlefield previously overrun by clones of Twice was shown. The clones had completely crowded the battlefield, greatly hindering the Heroes. Toga, who had consistently showcased her power throughout the war, had singlehandedly restrained the majority of the Heroes with her incredibly strong clones. However, after being defeated by Uraraka, Toga's clones slowly dissipated and disappeared. As a result, the battlefield began to open up.

Thanks to Ochaco Uraraka, all the Heroes who were in grave danger, some even facing imminent death, were saved. This moment is a defining one for Uraraka's character, who has been largely overlooked in the series. Despite being one of the main characters, her character development was put on hold until the Final War Saga. Fortunately, fans were able to see her shine in this fight, particularly in the recent chapters. Uraraka's character has taken a positive turn, both in her writing and her skills as a Hero. By saving countless lives, she has finally been given the recognition she deserves. In this chapter, Horikoshi highlights the battlefield, where numerous injured Heroes experienced relief thanks to Uraraka's actions.

Hawks Survives

In My Hero Academia chapter 395, fans witnessed a glimpse of Hawks in a dire state. After having his Quirk stolen, Hawks was on the verge of death, but was discovered by one of Toga's clones. The clone attacked him with a knife, intending to kill him, but Uraraka intervened and saved his life. Witnessing this, Hawks acknowledged that twice was a good person, but as a Hero, he fulfilled his responsibility by eliminating the threat.

Hawks' actions deeply affected Toga, causing her to suffer the loss of someone dear to her. However, in her current condition, Hawks' words held little significance. Furthermore, the chapter revealed that Toga herself was on the brink of death. As for Hawks, he no longer possesses the will to fight and believes he can no longer make a difference. Moving forward, the story will shift its focus to the remaining characters who continue the battle.

Toga Gives Her Blood

In My Hero Academia chapter 395, the main focus was on Toga. Fans witnessed a significant moment where Toga opened up to Ochaco, leading to a heartfelt embrace between the two characters as they expressed and reciprocated their feelings while soaring through the sky.

While this may have seemed like a positive development for the series, the plot took a dramatic turn in the latest chapter. Toga began reflecting on her entire life, providing fans with a glimpse into her perspective. She revealed that her home was a painful memory for her, which is why Toya assisted her in burning it down.

She expressed that she had no place in the world, which is exactly why the League of Villains is her only refuge. In the League of Villains, Toga found a sense of belonging and viewed them as her chosen family. In Toga's perspective, Heroes don't require justification to kill Villains, and Hawks killing Twice would simply serve as an example of that. However, it was a Hero who ultimately reached out to her and touched her soul. As a result, even though Toga still holds onto her own beliefs and considers the League of Villains her family, she, for the first time, embraced what Ochaco was saying. Toga experienced love and that love was reciprocated, leading her to make a drastic decision that has divided fan opinions in the end of the chapter.

Additionally, fans caught a glimpse of Ochaco in this week's chapter as she approached death. Having lost a significant amount of blood, it was only a matter of time before she lost consciousness and ultimately her life. This is where Toga stepped in and made the decision to sacrifice herself instead.

The Death Of Himiko Toga

Ever since the final war arc began, it seemed that the character Toga was destined for a tragic end. This chapter confirmed the fears of many devoted fans who adore Toga, as it appeared that she was prepared to sacrifice herself for Ochaco. Toga was able to transform into Ochaco by drinking her blood, a manifestation of her deep love for her. The two characters not only share romantic feelings, but also admiration, making their potential relationship a captivating plot point for the story. However, these possibilities were abruptly ended in My Hero Academia chapter 395.

In order to save Ochaco's life, Toga took on her appearance and willingly gave her own blood. Throughout her life, Toga had only taken blood from others, including those she envied and loved. Yet, for the first time, she used her own blood to save someone, adding a beautiful touch to her character.

Toga lived according to her own desires, proving that even a villain can save countless lives. However, she has committed actions that are not easily forgivable. Nevertheless, exploring themes of redemption would have been a crucial aspect of her character development. Merely saving Ochaco and then dying is not a genuine apology. In contrast, Horikoshi's handling of Endeavor's redemption is commendable. Despite being a terrible person for most of his life, Endeavor continuously strives to improve and make amends. While forgiveness may not be possible for his past actions, he can still work towards making a positive impact on the world.

Even during moments of extreme turmoil, Endeavor's family serves as a constant reminder of his commitment to becoming a better person and a true hero. This approach of growth and redemption is far more effective. Simply saving a life and abruptly ending a character's journey, as seen with Toga, feels like an inadequate resolution to her arc. Toga possesses tremendous potential as a character and could have embarked on a remarkable redemption journey, potentially forming a captivating storyline with Ochaco.

Regardless, Toga's story remained captivating until the end. Whether she survives or not, fans can find solace in the fact that her presence illuminated My Hero Academia.
