My Hero Academia chapter 397 is delayed by one week due to the Summer Festival Obon, celebrated annually throughout Japan!
Since the final arc of My Hero Academia began, the manga series has come a long way. The series has been providing back-to-back relentless, action-packed chapters. As the fight between Ochako and Toga concluded, the manga shifted its focus to one of the most anticipated fights, the rematch between All For One and All Might.
Chapter 396 of My Hero Academia showed us why All Might is worthy of being the Number One Hero because even without a quirk, he’s still standing in the way of All For One. The chapter shows us that the former hero still has the fight left in him as he gets his hands on some support items and begins his battle against his life-long nemesis.
The latest chapter ends with All Might knocking down All for One with Shoot Style Smash, while he mocks All for One by saying that he never gets into a fight with the thought of losing.
With chapter 396, the fans caused a significant meltdown on Twitter with the hype of the most anticipated fight. The manga also revealed how All Might is still relatively more robust than All For One, even if he is quirkless. Horikoshi-sensei has been on a streak with continuous chapters that can leave everyone on the edge of their seat.
My Hero Academia Chapter 397 Release Date:
Although My Hero Academia manga is at its peak, fans must wait an extra week for the new chapter to release. Due to the Summer Festival ‘Obon,’ the whole Weekly Shounen Jump Magazine is on a break. However, this break can be considered a favorable situation for Horikoshi-sensei, as his health is unstable.
Horikoshi-sensei once explained that his right hand has become numb due to the excessive time he spends drawing his manga and how he needs a break now and then to keep working in the future.
The chapter will be officially available to read on Viz Media’s website and Manga Plus app.
My Hero Academia chapter 397 was supposed to release on 14th August 2023, but with the Summer Festival arrival, the manga will be on break. My Hero Academia will return on 21st August 2023 with a brand new chapter, with the early scans coming out as soon as 18th August 2023.
Expectations for My Hero Academia Chapter 397:
Chapter 397 is bound to pick up right after All Might knocked down All for One with Shoot Style Smash. The chapter will probably focus on the fight between All Might and All For One.
Although All Might is quirkless, with the help of his car, Hercules, All Might is covered up with its parts, serving as whole body armor, covering everything except his righteous smile. His appearance resembles Deku’s hero outfit, and his fighting style is reminiscent of his protégé.
Hercules allows the quirkless All Might to be on par with All For One in their fight, at least for a while. However, All Might is clearly forcing himself to hold up, but it is hard to tell for how long he can keep it going.
The prophecy that Nighteye explained to All Might might still become true, as he still has a chance to be brutally beaten by the latter. However, it might be possible that All Might might be able to change the prophecy as Deku did.
This situation might turn out to be a significant catalyst, like every other shonen manga. If All Might gets defeated by All for One, Deku will have to avenge his mentor and ultimately become the number one hero.
Conclusion
The hype of chapter 397 is reaching new heights every day as the release day approaches, even though it has been delayed by one week due to the Summer Festival ‘Obon.’
My Hero Academia chapter 397 will now officially come out on 21st August 2023, with the early scans coming out as soon as 18th August 2023, three days before the official release.
