Following the break, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of My Hero Academia chapter 416, set to drop at 12AM JST on Monday, March 11, 2024. Expectations are high, particularly regarding Eri’s situation and the ongoing battle between Tomura Shigaraki and Izuku “Deku” Midoriya.

Despite the fervent desire for spoilers, none are available at present. However, spoilers should become available later this week due to a shift in the timing of the process.

Fortunately, there are certain aspects of Chapter 416 that fans can anticipate. Primarily, the focus is expected to be on Eri, likely addressing why she’s heading towards the battlefield and then returning to the Deku versus Shigaraki confrontation.

Eri’s Escape and Deku’s Struggle In The Upcoming Chapter Of My Hero Academia

As My Hero Academia chapter 416 begins, it will pick up right where the previous issue left off, with Eri continuing her escape from Ectoplasm and heading towards Deku’s location. The narrative is likely to transition smoothly into a flashback, revealing Eri’s motivations for heading toward the battlefield.

In this flashback, it will be shown that Eri has been observing the fight since Deku and Shigaraki’s confrontation moved to Mount Fuji. The flashback will emphasize the extent of Deku’s injuries sustained during the battle and his determined but painful use of the Blackwhip Quirk. Witnessing his struggle, Eri will express a desire to help him.

Eri will then approach Ectoplasm, asking him to go aid Deku. However, Ectoplasm will explain why it’s not feasible, as his priority is on the ongoing fight rather than Eri’s safety. Eventually, he realizes that Eri is missing, concluding the flashback and returning the story to the present moment, where Eri has successfully reached the U.A. shelter building.

Continuing from there, My Hero Academia chapter 416 will delve back into the intense battle between Deku and Shigaraki, picking up from where fans last witnessed the confrontation. Deku will narrowly evade Shigaraki’s advancing finger armor, which appears to be taking on a more aggressive form as the fight progresses.

However, this evasion won’t be without consequence, as Deku will sustain injuries due to the sudden and strenuous movements required.

Shigaraki will take notice of Deku’s injuries and will persist in exploiting this vulnerability, aiming to defeat Deku while he recuperates. Despite Shigaraki’s efforts, it’s highly likely that he will be unsuccessful, as Deku will continue to adopt a defensive strategy until an opportunity for another Quirk transfer arises.

As the chapter draws to a close, Deku will acknowledge that he is nearing his physical limits, foreshadowing the impending arrival of Eri to utilize his Rewind Quirk on him in future installments.

Concurrently, Shigaraki will observe Deku’s exhaustion, driving him into a frenzied assault in a desperate bid to conclude the battle before Deku can stage a resurgence.
