Chapter 389 recap
My Hero Academia chapter 389 began with reports that, while Dabi’s rise in temperature was slowing down, he was still inevitably set to explode. The Todoroki family, meanwhile, continued trying to use their ice to cool down Toya and themselves simultaneously. Dabi, meanwhile, recognized that everyone was watching him, asking if this is what it felt like and if it was so easy, why did it take so long to happen.
As Dabi says this, shots of a pained Endeavor and retreating Heroes and civilians can be seen. Toga’s Twice clones are also seen, as well as a shot of Ochaco Uraraka fighting Himiko Toga herself as other Heroes retreat. The issue then cuts to three children whom Shoto and Bakugo met when doing make-up lessons for their provisional licenses, seemingly watching a live stream of something.
A news reporter is then seen filming Dabi’s heat sphere, while the child who supported Endeavor on TV was shown to be watching Endeavor and praying for him. The issue then cut to a cafe in the Philippines, where a woman was also seen praying. The three children are then seen once again, saying everything will be fine because “Five Wieners” is on their side. This is the nickname they gave to Shoto Todoroki, who can be seen racing on Tenya Iida’s back as the issue ends.
What to expect (speculative)
My Hero Academia chapter 390 will almost certainly continue to focus on the Todoroki family drama narrative and its seemingly imminent climax. This is especially true considering that author and illustrator Kohei Horikoshi has simply put fans too deep into the plotline as it currently stands to pull them away from it.
Likewise, with Shoto seemingly set to arrive on the scene in My Hero Academia chapter 390, it makes even less sense to shift perspectives in the upcoming release. As a result, fans can expect to see at least the start of the climax to the series’ long-running B-story in the next issue.
