The latest chapter of My Hero Academia, titled "The World She Rejected," by Kohei Horikoshi and translated by Caleb Cook, delves into Toga's character development. After a brief hiatus, the chapter centers around Toga's observations of the ongoing events involving the Todoroki Family. Notably, Toga finds herself being pursued by Uraraka, indicating that she is poised to take center stage following Toya's downfall.
While chapter 391 of My Hero Academia didn't bring her character arc to a close, it undeniably laid the foundation for its eventual resolution. Fans can expect the upcoming chapters to be an enjoyable read as they witness the culmination of this character's journey.
Sad Man's Death Parade
In My Hero Academia chapter 391, Toga's role takes center stage. Utilizing Twice's power to its fullest extent, she has the ability to create infinite clones of herself. This has been a consistent strategy employed by Toga throughout the ongoing conflict. While her presence has been somewhat limited in recent chapters, it is important to note that Toga possesses the potential to greatly influence the outcome of the war and shift the balance in favor of Shigaraki. However, her internal struggles prevent her from fully committing to ending the war and securing victory for Shigaraki. Nevertheless, Toga's actions continue to effectively hinder the efforts of the Heroes, and in this particular chapter, her unwavering determination to kill becomes even more apparent.
Toga's determination to eliminate all heroes was evident as she continuously screamed in this week's chapter. As her attacks grew stronger, the opposing heroes found it increasingly difficult to fight back. Despite Pixie Bob's attempt to use her Quirk to control the situation, she was eventually overwhelmed by the sheer number of Toga's clones. Toga then unleashed her ultimate move, Sad Man's Death Parade, which multiplied the number of clones even more, engulfing the entire battlefield. Those who tried to defend against her ability and contain her were particularly targeted. At present, there seems to be no way to restrain her power, and her growing anger only seems to fuel her determination further.
What's more, it is emphasized by the narrator that the containment of Toga is not the ultimate problem. The real concern lies in the fact that if the Heroes make even the slightest mistake or hesitation, they will inevitably meet their demise. This unsettling realization serves as a testament to the truly terrifying nature of Toga's abilities. At this stage, Toga has transformed into an unstoppable monster, surpassing the level of threat that even Toya had posed. This once again underscores the gravity of the situation Ochaco Uraraka finds herself in.
The View Across The Battlefield
Chapter 391 of My Hero Academia primarily focuses on Toga and Uraraka, but it also provides glimpses of other events happening across the battlefield. The Todoroki Family receives some attention in this chapter, specifically highlighting Shoto, who has now passed out. In the previous chapter, Shoto appeared to be reaching his limit, but he manages to push himself further. With the threat of his brother eliminated, Shoto finally succumbs to exhaustion and is currently taking a well-deserved rest. Additionally, readers catch a glimpse of Endeavor and Rei, who are still present on the battlefield with their children. It remains to be seen what decisions they will make and what path they will take moving forward.
In the current situation, Horikoshi's focus is not on resolving the ongoing battles. The outcome of these battles will likely determine the resolution. In this chapter, fans were also able to witness Iida's actions. Similar to Shoto, Iida pushed himself beyond his limits in the previous chapters. However, as soon as he achieved his objective, his engine gave out, indicating that he is physically exhausted. Despite this, he remains conscious and is contemplating the next direction the battle will take. Deep down, Iida is a character driven to assist as many people as possible, and it is safe to assume that he is currently strategizing ways to save more individuals.
To the surprise of fans, Hawks also made an appearance in My Hero Academia 391. As fans already know, Hawks was engaged in a difficult battle against All For One. It was an uphill struggle for him throughout. Ultimately, All For One managed to steal Hawks' Quirk, leading fans to believe that he would no longer play a significant role in the war. However, in My Hero Academia chapter 391, Hawks is depicted standing up once again and grasping his sword. It is apparent that he is determined to continue fighting in order to save people and witness the success of the next generation. This unwavering resolve is truly admirable.
Whether Hawks' character will play a more significant role in the future is yet to be determined. However, considering his current physical condition and the extent of his strength, it is unlikely, as a betting person would suggest.
Toga And Uraraka
The highlight of My Hero Academia chapter 391 was undeniably the intense confrontation between Toga and Uraraka. In this week's chapter, Uraraka finally caught up to Toga and made an effort to reason with her. She acknowledged and empathized with Toga's emotions, reminding her that they had both undergone significant personal growth since their first encounter. Hoping that this shared understanding would lead to a peaceful conversation, Uraraka soon realizes that a fight is inevitable before any progress can be made.
Uraraka acknowledges that Toga cannot fully replicate Twice's abilities because her emotions, particularly her hatred, hinder her potential. While this may hold some truth, Toga becomes even more agitated by this observation. She believes that Uraraka fails to comprehend her struggles, despite Uraraka's evident attempts at understanding.
Moving forward, it seems that a confrontation between the two girls is imminent in My Hero Academia. Uraraka will try to reason with Toga while enduring her wrath. Strangely, the chapter concludes abruptly, leaving readers with a sense of brevity. This may be attributed to the author's current health issues, as Horikoshi has been taking frequent and unexpected breaks. As anticipation builds, fans eagerly await the upcoming chapter 392, where the conflict between these two girls is likely to intensify.
