Izuku Midoriya has become literally indecipherable since the beginning of the final act of My Hero Academia, and chapter 319 of the manga has been highlighted as the protagonist again. is really ready to do whatever it takes to accomplish its mission. But how far can Deku really go? According to fans, enough to ally yourself with a real monster.

As you may recall, in Chapter 317 of My Hero Academia we saw the return of Stain, the heroic murderer responsible for the murder of countless Pro Heroes and the injury of Iida’s brother. Stain has been following Deku since splitting up with All Might, and considering how Chapter 319 ended, the antihero might be ready to step in.

If you need to refresh your memory, Chapter 319 ends with Deku ready to clash with the entire 1A class, with the intention of bringing the protagonist back to Yuei High School. Bakugo, Iida, Uraraka, and the others know for sure that Deku won’t hear a reason, and they believe the only way to get him home is to exhaust him in battle. Deku is in very bad shape due to the fight with Lady Nagant and the other mercenaries of All for One, but still seems ready to fight his friends.

In this situation, It’s really hard to imagine that Deku can beat nineteen opponents, and when the last hidden quirk of One for All doesn’t allow the protagonist to leave the scene at the speed of light, the battle seems to end in defeat for Deku. This is natural only if Stain doesn’t intervene.

Right now, no one has any idea what Stain’s plans are. The hero killer may be on All Might’s trail, but given his interest in Midoriya and the protagonist’s vigilante behavior, it is much more likely that he will continue to pursue his protégé. In addition, Midoriya lacks a mentor, and if there is anyone who can track down All for One, it is surely a seasoned and silent killer like Stain.

According to some fans, Midoriya could be saved and allied with Stain, while others believe the two could meet shortly after the protagonist escapes, but one thing is certain: there is the possibility of a team-up, and Chapter 320, due out on Sunday, July 18, may give us more certainty.
