The Epilogue – My Hero Academia Chapter 425: Release Date, time, and what to expect

As My Hero Academia’s Final War Arc comes to a close, there are still loose ends to tie up before saying goodbye to Class 1-A. First up, we may finally get a resolution for one of the best rivalries in modern shonen manga history.

My Hero Academia Chapter 425 release date and time, explained

My Hero Academia is on a weekly schedule, but the manga takes at least one break every month to relieve Kohei Horikoshi of a grueling work schedule. So, after a scheduled one-week break, the next chapter of My Hero Academia will be available to read on Sunday, June 10, 2024.

Fans can check out Chapter 425 at approximately 10 a.m. EDT (7 a.m. PDT), closely aligning with the midnight release in Japan. If fans stay off social media, they should have no issues avoiding spoilers

Where to read My Hero Academia Chapter 425

Once the floodgates open, My Hero Academia fans can read the latest chapter on Viz Media and MangaPlus. Both websites will have the chapter available in English. It all comes down to personal preference for which service you prefer.

What to expect from My Hero Academia  Chapter 425

If you still need to catch up, we recommend reading Chapter 424 before going further. Even if there aren’t any officially confirmed spoilers for the upcoming chapter, there are still a few twists and turns left in this story.

My Hero Academia Chapter 424 briefly shows the aftermath of the war, as the United States and other nations have offered support and resources to help rebuild Japan. However, this chapter ultimately serves as a passing of the torch. Since childhood, Midoriya and Bakugo have strived to be a hero like All Might. They have finally achieved that goal, but it came at a cost: Midoryia has been rendered Quirkless once again, and Bakugo has been told by the doctors it’s unlikely that he will ever be a hero again.

In a beautiful moment between three broken heroes at the end of their ropes, Bakugo breaks down into tears when he discovers that he will no longer be able to compete against Midoriya. Those tears turn into beaming smiles as All Might acknowledges both rivals as great heroes putting a bow on their character arcs. Chapter 424 on its own felt like it could have been a fitting end point, but Kohei Horikoshi still has a few more chapters planned. I predict that we will get an update on other professional heroes, before getting a glimpse at Class-A potentially setting up a sequel series following the next generation of heroes.
