Chapter 272 Recap
The Evacuation Mission
The chapter opened with the heroes evacuating civilians to safety. Because the operation against the Paranormal Liberation Front carried a real risk of things going wrong, the heroes had prepared countermeasures in advance. Pro hero Burnin helped guide civilians who needed assistance, while the students of Class 1-A worked alongside the professionals to move people out of danger.
Deku Senses Shigaraki
During the evacuation, Todoroki noticed something was wrong with Midoriya and asked him about it, but Deku did not answer. Instead, Deku heard a voice from within One For All urging him to stop someone. The message pointed to Tomura Shigaraki, who was about to awaken after undergoing All For One’s modification procedure.
What Fans Expected in Chapter 273
- Shigaraki awakening with terrifying new power.
- The heroes’ plan beginning to fall apart.
- Deku feeling the influence of One For All’s previous users more strongly.
