My Hero Academia Chapter 413: Does Deku Give Up One For All?

My Hero Academia chapter 413 has been making noise on the internet ever since its release. With word on the internet spreading around about Deku giving up One For All, his inherited Quirk, fans can’t keep calm. Read further to know what unraveled in My Hero Academia chapter 413. Did Deku actually surrender One For All? Moreover, what is Deku’s new form that everyone is gushing about?

My Hero Academia chapter 413 is called “Lump of Lead,” and it revisits New Order, aka Star’s final moments with the All For One vestige. This is done through a melancholic flashback, which further sets the tone for MHA chapter 413.  

The chapter primarily focuses on coming up with a strategy to overcome Shigaraki’s formidable power. As such, a risky plan comes aboard, which proposes transferring the Quirk One For All (OFA) to Shigaraki. This, if the strategy remains successful, can craft a crack in Shigaraki’s consciousness – a crack marked by a mental wound from back when he confronted New Order. Through this crack, one could reach the indomitable villain internally. 

Given the high stakes, the heroes, including En, express their hesitancy with the plan. However, the chapter draws parallels to Bakugo’s aggressive paper-passing technique as Kudo explains how they would need an aggressive visualization while they transfer the Quirk. Though volunteers come forward to test the strategy, Kudo rests his trust in Deku and his firm conviction. Therefore, Kudo becomes a central character as tensions rise in the chapter.

Further along in the chapter, readers can decode insights on the vestiges. Moreover, given the unfolding drama and Deku’s central position in the narrative, chapter 413 highlights his internal struggles. 

Deku’s journey as a hero and the importance of One For All in the said journey also remain some poignant moments in the chapter. Further, Deku profoundly reflects upon All Might and Nana Shimura, the heroes because of whom Deku inherited One For All. This flashback further establishes his unwavering connection with the Quirk. 

What is Deku’s new form?

In My Hero Academia chapter 413, Deku’s inevitable and much-awaited confrontation with Tomura Shigaraki takes a wild turn. Though Deku struggles to overcome Shigaraki’s fatal blows, he does not give up and continues to put up a fight. As a result, Deku continually uses Blackwhip on his arms, leading to strange marks on his body. 

Due to Blackwhip’s continual usage, Deku’s entire body gets covered with these marks, revealing his monstrous, shirtless form. Kohei Horikoshi’s work on visual illustration leaves a remarkable impression on the readers. Now that Deku’s transformation is complete, fans can expect a shift in the hero’s skills and powers. 

With Deku’s new form out in the open, the author has set the narrative for the climactic showdown between Deku and Shigaraki. Moreover, with the orchestrations to transfer the One For All Quirk, the chapter touches upon themes of trust and blind faith in heroes. The stakes are high, but Kudo’s willpower adds intrigue to the plot. 

Though the author has announced a week-long break, fans can’t stop anticipating what comes next. As they theorize the potential resolution of this turmoil, the chapter acts as a perfect ground for the plot to move forward.
