Also the weird extended clipshow is over and Season 7 of the anime has officially begun now

Got this from another site.

Leaks for chapter 422.

The chapter begins with Aoyama falling behind because AFO's tentacles destroyed a piece of the ground, but he tells Deku to keep running. Aizawa tries asking Shirakumo to open another portal, but realizes that he no strenght left to use his quirk.

The heroes keep attacking (including Mawata Fuwa, that second year girl), but the attacks don't work on AFO. Aizawa tells them all to clear a path for Deku to reach Shigaraki and, at the same time, AFO prepares to use the "full release of all quirk factors".

AFO says it will be different from the time he used this attack against Bakugou, because now he's no longer overcome by emotions. He's going to condense all his power and release it. He shoots a laser at Deku, but Hagakure reflects it.

Momo builds a railgun and Kaminari charges it with his electricity to fire at AFO, but he blocks it. AFO launches more black tentacles and Deku is about to punch them with One For All, but several other students destroy them and tell him to not waste his energy yet.

Shoji holds Deku with one of his arms and Tsuyu with her tongue. Tsuyu's family and the girl Shoji saved in the past are watching the broadcast and see them fighting. The two of them throw Deku forward and he finally manages to call Tsuyu "Tsuyu-chan".

Kirishima and Ashido block a big attack while their friends from middle school are watching and shouting their names. AFO doesn't understand why these heroes who can barely move won't die. He then remembers what he said about Deku in the vestiges, about him being useless.

AFO finally understands that Deku's weakness is something that All Might didn't have and that's what makes his friends get up over and over again. Gentle makes him a trampoline, Death Arms says he can do it, Tokoyami wishes him good luck from Gunga and Iida takes his hand.

AFO tries to use another attack but the hole in his hand starts to bleed and he gets confused. We see the US pilots tending to All Might's wounds and he says that seeing Deku running that day was what allowed him to do the same. It was at that moment that Deku became...

Melissa wishes Deku good luck and in the next panel we see RODY and PINO doing the same. Iida tells Deku that he now understands what Uraraka meant on their first day at U.A., about the nickname "Deku" making her think of "do your best".

We see Ochako in the helicopter with Pixie Bob as she opens her eyes and whispers "you can do it...!". The US president orders all of their heroes to be sent to Japan and we see panels of different characters saying "do your best! (Eri, Kota, Tsukauchi, , etc.)

All Might raises his arm and sees an image of Deku running towards the sky. He then continues: "On that day, you became my greatest hero". The last spread shows Inko cheering on her son while Deku land a punch on All For One. Chapter 422: Izuku Midoriya - Rising.


No break next week.

What is happening when ShigaFO is shocked right before it cuts to the American pilots with All Might? I don't know if there was a missing page/panel but it doesn't actually show what surprised/interrupted him. I'm inferring that he was hit by the planes in a kamikaze attack (but the pilots ejected out of the planes).

If only there was some American hero who was born in Japan, could fly, and probably was already heading over the moment he heard All-Might needed help. Some kind of... Air... Donut...

he's got blood dribbling out his hand hole, it seems totally unrelated to the scene with the pilots. unless the intended implication is that of all the massive fuckoff energy beams that've been thrown at AfO in the last hour it was the US military's stealth bombers that landed the hit that mattered (this would be stupid)

All Might saying Deku is his greatest hero is genuinely emotional and the perfect capstone to both his arc and Deku's chapter 1 ending comment. I am satisfied and pleased.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I had been wondering where the hell Midnight had been during all this, because I don’t recall her doing anything against AfO for Shigaraki. So I looked up her whereabouts and apparently she got offscreened by some nameless villain during the Gigantomachia fight? I do not remember this at all.

Anyway good chapter all things considered. This is a good realization for AfO to get even though I wish he had stayed dead.

Not quite completely offscreened, though they didn't show her getting killed or the body. After everyone got their asses beat fighting Gigantomachia, some low level villains found her lying injured and finished her off, and there was a panel of the kids finding her body(from the perspective of showing the kids' grief rather than showing the body).

That whole thing with Midnight was weird because, at the time, between Hawks killing Twice and her dying, it really felt like the manga was signalling that the story would be much more brutal and dangerous going forward.

Then... no one else (important - RIP X-Less/Crust) died anymore. :confused: I guess Baby For One vaporized and (current chapter spoilers) Shirakumo's about to rot away into nothing. Not even Dabi died and he tried really loving hard to.

I think Dabi is dead dead now. Other than that, Stars and Stripes is dead and Edgeshot might be?

Edgeshot survived because Bakugo managed to fix part of himself with explosions. He's been hanging with All-Might for color commentary.

TBF a lot of characters have been crippled to the point where they can't fight anymore like Mirko, Mr Compress and Endeavor (Jeanist also doesn't seem to have ever fully recovered iirc) or were permanently thrown in jail like the MLF. Hawks lost his quirk, Jirou lost an ear, Mina threw half her body weight in acid at Machia and who knows if Spinner can come back from his current state.

Stain also died and Toga might be dead (but probably isn't).
