My Hero Academia Ch 398 Release Date, Raws: All Might and AFO’s Battle Progresses

All Might fights All For One in chapter 397 of My Hero Academia, titled “Taking Out the Trash.”

With just an armored suit to rely on, All Might kept up in his fight against the strongest villain in history. His only objective is to stall as much time for Rewind to progress and prevent All For One from reaching Midoriya and killing him.

Each attack by All For One destroys a limb or entire section of his armor, but All Might refuse to back down. Still armed with the confidence of the number one hero, he fights till his last breath.

Here are the latest updates.

I. Is Chapter 398 on Break?

No, chapter 398 of My Hero Academia is not on a break this week. The manga will be released on the above-stated date.

2. Chapter 398 Raw Scans

Raw scans of Chapter 398 of My Hero Academia have been released. The new chapter is titled Toshinori Yagi Rising Origin.

The incident with the metal rod convinced Nana of Toshinori’s determination to become a hero, and he asked her to join her team. All Might takes a serum from his car and injects it into All For One, filling his veins with acid. 

His body begins disintegrating from the acid, and All Might scoffs at him, angering him further. On his first request to Nana, she had rejected him for being quirkless. She assumes he wants help in revenge for his family’s murder, but his motivation is different.

Toshinori’s goal is to become the ultimate symbol of peace, a hero everyone can rely on. Getting revenge merely continues a cycle of violence and hatred, but stopping the root of it is entirely different. She’s left speechless by the response but impressed regardless.

All Might and All For One crash into the Tatooin station and fly through buildings. The two are deviating from the path to the U.A. and solely focused on their fight. The damage is building up as All Might has multiple broken ribs and a damaged lung.

He remembers the time Deku ran to save Bakugo multiple years ago and knows it’s not the time to stand down yet. All For One’s Rewind is steadily making a noticeable difference as he looks younger. He removes the acid using multiple quirks but takes damage as a side effect.

All Might assumes Rewind speeds up with the amount of damage and orders Hercules to send new gadgets. Using Ingenium and Urvaity, he boosts his movement speed and attacks with a massive smile. All Might is fighting this battle for Midoriya and the people’s sake. Deku is in a fight with Shigaraki but prays for All Might’s safety.

3. Chapter 398 Speculation

The fight between All Might and All For One reaches its final stages as his armor crumbles with each attack. His left arm has already been crushed, so it’s only a matter of time before he can fight no longer.

I. All Might may die

This is likely the most probable result of this battle since it has been foreshadowed multiple times before the match. This will also provide a vital point in Midoriya’s life, unveiling his full power and quirk awakening similar to Toya.

II. All For One takes too long.

All Might is fighting only to stall time until Rewind brings All For One down. He is on a timer, and if he takes too long in this battle, he will age out of existence. If the armor has more tricks up its sleeve, All Might could win through time.

4. Chapter 397 Recap

Using the full power of the suit, All Might beats All For One senseless leaving no opening to counter. He scoffs at him for losing to someone in his mid-50s. His purpose is not to kill him but to prevent him from reaching Midoriya at all costs.

He continues making him angrier until All For One snaps and uses a combination of 6 quirks to unleash a huge blast. The explosion blasts All Might away through multiple buildings, but he remains standing. Using the Utility Cloak “Dark Shadow,” he negates most of the explosion damage.

His left arm is crushed, but All Might has no intention of backing down any time soon. All For One is clearly annoyed and starts calling All Might pathetic for relying on machines to fight. He says that regardless of his strength, any machine will eventually crumble.

All Might has a flashback to the first time he met Nana Shimura while fighting off a hoard of villains. He was forced to try and keep them away using a mere iron rod, and Nana had saved him, amused at his weapon. He would never back down from a fight since high school, regardless of the odds.

All For One counterattacks and laughs at All Might for thinking he’s succeeding in stalling his time. He has more than enough time to destroy All Might and then still reach Midoriya.
