My Hero Academia Chapter 381 Spoilers and Full Plot Leaked
Obviously, massive spoilers (courtesy of Rukasu) for My Hero Academia Chapter 381 titled “Darkness” follow below, so read at your own risk. Also, check out some of the pages attached below.
The chapter begins with Camie confused by the fact that AFO has a face now and Shishikura saying that he will get revenge for his father. His desire was to kill AFO, but he will not give in to hate. He will inherit his father’s efforts as a jailer. Other Shiketsu students arrive and start helping the heroes on the ground to deal with the Twice clones. Pixie Bob says the focus has shifted to immobilizing Toga and defeating AFO, saying that all heroes with long-range quirks should go fight him. Tsukauchi contacts Hawks and he thanks him for sending reinforcements, but Tsukauchi says that the Shiketsu students were already on their way before he even asked. The future of the war is tied to what will happen in Gunga, so they need to stop All for One asap.
AFO says that they were cautious about the risk of him stealing the heroes’ quirks, so initially they only sent Endeavor and Hawks to fight him, but now they’re desperate. AFO laughs and uses a quirk combo, growing wings and throwing a laser with black lightnings. The attack hits many heroes, including Kamui and Kinoko, and Hawks realizes that he’s now using more quirks. Shishido says that they cannot be intimidated and that the defending heroes need to contain these blows. They finally got AFO to stop and fight instead of running. AFO asks why they think they have any chance without the only man who could match him, they don’t know what he’s capable of at his peak. Everyone there was born during All Might’s time of peace, so they didn’t live through the dark times when everyone feared him.
My Hero Academia 381 continues as All for One talks about his kingdom of darkness, we see a panel of Banjo standing in front of several fallen buildings. And while he’s saying all this we see two panels of Dabi flying after Endeavor, totally burned. The wind goes towards AFO and Inasa says that he knows all of that, because they learn about it in modern history class. He has decided to support Shoto and Endeavor, so his boiling blood will not give in to fear. AFO is impressed by his quirk and thinks about stealing it. AFO uses the wind in his favor to propel his attacks and hits some heroes, but they tell Inasa to continue. Inasa himself gets hit in the face, but he’s not shaken and says that his quirk gets stronger on windy days. Instead of fearing the past, he wants to see the future.
Hawks remembers what he said to Endeavor at U.A. and says that it’s not only OFA that connects people’s hearts, Endeavor is also bringing hope to the younger ones, including Inasa and himself. AFO looks disgusted and says he hates that light in Hawks’ eyes. However, this makes no difference. The remaining heroes are all weak and can’t even get close yo him. It is then that an absolute darkness appears behind him, with two huge eyes. All for One’s expression changes to fear as he feels the presence of TOKOYAMI AND DARK SHADOW. He remembers the attack that destroyed his mask and has the same feeling: that he needs to dodge it right now. Tokoyami says that there are many different types of darkness, and for him to stop bragging as if he knows them all.
The small shadow that AFO produced has long since been illuminated by class 1-A. As he says this, we see a panel of baby Tokoyami sleeping next to Dark Shadow and the panel of the 1-A students receiving the umbrellas from the civilians. The rain clouds have darkened the environment and the flames are already dying out after burning all the trees. In addition, Pixie Bob created an earth shelter for Tokoyami to unleash Dark Shadow’s full power. All Might said that AFO wouldn’t be able to steal Endeavor’s quirk just by touching at his flames, so it must be the same with Dark Shadow. Hawks realizes that he’s been preparing for this since the Shiketsu students arrived and tells him to attack with all he’s got. Hawks says that if he has helped Tokoyami on his journey, even if just a little, then that makes him very grateful that he was born with those dirty wings. The chapter ends with Tokoyami hitting All for One with his BLACK ANKH BALDR, boosted by Inasa’s wind!!!! There will be no break next week!
