My Hero Academia Chapter 423 is just around the corner and fans are eagerly waiting for Deku to fight All For One, who is currently in Shigaraki's body. This battle won't last long, given the setup fans got in the previous chapter, and from here on out, it's highly likely that the final war will indeed end very soon.

With the previous chapter paving the way for Deku to finally reach out to All For One in an attempt to take him down, MHA 423 could see the job finally being done, and with it, the curtain falling on the most intense arc of the entire series.

Izuku Midoriya's attack on all for one

Izuku will launch a series of attacks against everyone for one

My Hero Academia Chapter 423 will focus heavily on Izuku Midoriya. This shouldn't come as a surprise to any fans, seeing as all of Japan's hopes are placed on his shoulders. Izuku keeps moving forward because of all the trust the people of the world have placed in him, and most of all, how All Might has entrusted everything to him. In an attempt to save all of the people he absolutely adores and to live up to All Might's expectations, Izuku will likely do whatever it takes to My Hero Academia chapter 423.

I may not have had it for long, but it has taken root in my quirkless self. –Izuku Midoriya in MHA 421

In the previous chapter, fans saw him rush towards All For One with great intensity. Of course, he would have been stopped in his tracks if it weren't for the Heroes who are currently on his side. They paved the way for him, blocking several attacks launched by All For One that were aimed at him. Each Hero did their job and helped Izuku reach the greatest villain, All For One. Now, it's time for him to step up and get the job done, delivering one powerful blow after another to the greatest evil and blowing him away. Of course, fans should note that All For One, especially in Shigaraki's body, is incredible. It's highly likely that the blow Izuku lands first in My Hero Academia Chapter 423 won't finish him off. However, it will certainly cause significant damage.

That said, Izuku has little time left, which means he'll be looking to land successive attacks on the most heinous villain of all time and continue to pummel him. This means the Heroes will get another chance to shine. My Hero Academia chapter 423 as they open a path for him once again, and he delivers what could be the final blow to end it all in the next chapter.

Deku unleashes his ultimate move in MHA 423

Deku could prepare an attack similar to United States Of Smash

My Hero Academia Chapter 423 could potentially see Deku utilize his ultimate technique in an attempt to crush All For One. Deku may not be very powerful right now, seeing as he has lost One For All and, along with it, every trace of it he possessed. However, the embers of the Quirk are still within his body and this means that he can utilize Full Cowl as long as the embers are burning within his body. Using these embers, Deku can open things up with a Detroit Smash. However, he certainly won't end things with this basic move. Deku will try to make the finishing move very special, much like All Might did when he fought All For One on Kamino. This is where things could get very interesting and Horikoshi could actually resolve this in two ways in MHA Chapter 423.

Young Midoriya, that day you entered the fight, my body also went into action. Yes, ever since then you have been my greatest hero!

The first way to resolve this whole situation is for Deku to mirror his mentor and do exactly what he did on Kamino. This means that Deku could first reach his limits in the next chapter, and then summon all the power he has within him into his fist, go beyond his 100% and deliver the same technique that All Might did on Kamino. Essentially, Deku could perform a United States Smash in the battle against All For One and get the job done. This would serve as a very nice parallel to the previous moment, where, even though he defeated All Might, he was unable to erase All For One. This time, Deku would do what All Might could not and end the war with the powerful United States of Smash forever.

My Hero Academia Chapter 423 could also go in a completely different direction. Deku looks up to All Might, but there's no denying the fact that his fighting style is a bit different. While he incorporates some of All Might's moves into his own set, there are plenty of moves that are unique to him. For example, Deku also enjoys fighting with his feet, and at one time, when he had the vestige powers, he created moves that All Might couldn't even imagine. While paying homage to All Might would be incredibly cool in My Hero Academia Chapter 423, this could also be a moment for Deku to solidify his own legacy by utilizing a completely new move that's never been seen before.

This could be Deku's finishing move, something similar to the United States of Smash but executed in a different way that sets it apart from the one All Might pulled off a while back when things unfolded on Kamino. Either way, My Hero Academia Chapter 423 could see Deku perform this powerful move on All For One and end things for good.

The Fall of All for One and the Rescue of Shigaraki

All For One's defeat could pave the way for Shigaraki's rescue

If Deku manages to launch his final attack on All For One in My Hero Academia chapter 423, so fans need to keep in mind that this battle will end right there. The editor of My Hero Academia previously described the previous chapter as the “very, very, very, very, very, very end of the Final War Saga,” meaning fans are just moments away from witnessing the end. It would make perfect sense for the fight to end in the next chapter, meaning All For One will be gone for good.

Once All For One falls, the question of Shigaraki arises once again. Currently, Shigaraki is being suppressed by All For One, however, he is still alive. Once Deku defeats All For One, Shigaraki will likely take control of his body once again, and from there, it will be interesting to see what path Horikoshi takes for this character moving forward. It is possible that Shigaraki will be arrested and taken to Tartarus, which is likely to happen. However, this does not necessarily mean that this will be the end of the road for this individual. Fans know that Shigaraki has been manipulated his entire life, which means a path to his redemption, and an eventual rehabilitation should be opened up at the end of My Hero Academia. MHA Chapter 423 could pave the way for this. Above all, this chapter will mark the end of the war and finally the world can be at peace once again.

My Hero Academia is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by fans officially and for free in Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of My Hero Academia, My Hero Academia Chapter 423, is set for May 19, 2024.
