My Hero Academia Chapter 297: Release Date, Delay, Discussion

My Hero Academia takes the portrayal of the fight between good and evil to the next level.

In a world full of quirks that grant everyone powers, our young protagonist — Izuku Midoriya, tries to become the strongest Hero despite being born with no quirks.

My Hero Academia released chapter 296 on Sunday, titled “Hellish Hell.” So, it’s time to discuss the release date, scans, and other details for chapter 297.

1. Chapter 297 Raw Scans, Leaks & Spoilers

Raw scans for Chapter 297 of the My Hero Academia have been released.

The chapter starts by introducing Tartarus, the strongest maximum security prison equipped with unbreakable anti-quirk defenses. We then see one of the guards killed by Shigaraki and the security status turning “red.”

Two guards converse about a new prisoner incoming – Gigantomachia and strike a conversation about why they can’t just kill him. One of the guards speaks ruthlessly against the villains calling them monsters and anti-human, while the other tries to tell him that talking about this is a violation of human rights.

Shigaraki (along with Nomu) continues to muscle his way into the prison while arguing against AFO.

Shigaraki: You’re the one who told me to rest…
AFO: After we get this over with.
Shigaraki: Return…my body.
AFO: You’re the one who wants my power!?
AFO: You spit onto the world who didn’t offer their hand to help you In order to execute that hatred you wanted power. This is the result of your strong-will, therefore this is an important task.

Shigaraki tells AFO that he refuses to be AFO’s pawn, to which AFO replies that he sees Shigaraki as his successor.

The chapter ends as Shigaraki’s raid on the prison is successful, many prisoners escape (including Muscular and Overhaul). We see Shigaraki standing face to face with the imprisoned AFO, saying “Through this vacant era the perfect Evil King is born… This is the story of how I became the greatest evil king

2. Chapter 297 Speculations/Predictions

I. Damage Control

Throughout this National sweep for villains, we saw a lot of twists and turns and many nerve-racking battles. With the end of this arc right around the corner, we will start to see the Heroes performing damage control by helping citizens and providing medical aid to everyone who got injured.

It is likely that some characters like Mirko and Endeavor may not make it out alive due to their grave injuries.

II. Endeavor’s Defeat

Chapter 290 revealed that Dabi is actually Touya Todoroki, Endeavor’s eldest son. Just like Shoto, he has been scarred by his father’s expectations and is out for blood. In his current State, Endeavor is having a hard time breathing so he is at a major disadvantage in this fight

Chapter 296 showed us Deku awakening yet another quirk passed down from his predecessors. This quirk, known as Danger Sense, is the fourth quirk to manifest inside of Deku’s body.

Undoubtedly, Deku will soon train this quirk to get it under control so that he may use it with ease. A quirk to sense incoming danger will be very helpful in judging scenarios as well as responding to incoming attacks.
