My Hero Academia Chapter 278: Release Date, Delay, Discussion

My Hero Academia takes the portrayal of the fight between good and evil to the next level.

In a world full of quirks that grant everyone powers, our young protagonist — Izuku Midoriya, tries to become the strongest Hero despite being born with no quirks.

My Hero Academia released chapter 277 on Sunday, titled “Who…?” So, it’s time to discuss the release date, scans, and other details for chapter 278.

1. Chapter 278 Speculations/Predictions

I. Tomura Shigaraki – the Inheritor of Evil

Shigaraki had been a big threat for a long time. He has been serving as the main antagonist of the series for quite a while. Now with All for One’s quirk, he is about to step his malevolence up to a new level.

II. Gigantomachia Awakens

Gigantomachia is one of the strongest creatures we have encountered in the story so far. He is far stronger than any Nomu ever seen in the story and seems to have an impenetrable defence.

Chapter 277 ended with Gigantomachia fighting against Mt. Lady to go to Shigaraki’s location. He will soon arrive on the scene for backup and the mayhem will spiral out of control.

III. All for One vs One for All

Chapter 274 ended with Deku trying to lead Shigaraki away from a crowded location. Shigaraki is itching to get his hands on One for All and is going to relentlessly pursue Deku. Deku has called Endeavor for backup and Bakugo is tagging along with Deku, so the first fight between the new generation of All for one and One for All is about to kick off.

Shigaraki is currently quirkless and fighting against the trio of Bakugo, Endeavor & Midoriya. Since Shigaraki will definitely not die in this fight, it’s likely that a full on All for One vs One for All fight is a long ways away.

2. Chapter 278 Raw Scans, Leaks & Spoilers

Raw scans for Chapter 278 of the My Hero Academia were released recently.

The upcoming chapter will show us continuation of the fight between Heroes and Villains back at the mansion. Despite everyone’s best efforts, Gigantomachia keeps pushing forward towards Shigaraki. Mt. Lady tries to hold him back, but she is thrown to the side. Midnight tries to put Gigantomachia to sleep, however, she is attacked by Dabi and Compress (who are riding Gigantomachia) and is left incapacitated.

Creati (Momo) is informed of the situation by Midnight. She takes charge of the entire back line, in hopes of setting a trap to put Gigantomachia to sleep. The chapter ends as everyone gears up for their time to shine.

5. Where To Read My Hero Academia

6. Chapter 277 Plot

The chapter starts with Bakugo and Midoriya kicking off the fight against a quirkless Shigaraki. Endeavor joins in and they manage to push Shigaraki back.

A voice inside of Shigaraki takes over, but he gets control back through his sheer will and desire to be greater than the previous All for One.

Gran Torino, Bakugo, Endeavor & Midoriya continue the fight against Shigaraki. Using Midoriya as bait, Bakugo lands a huge hit on Shigaraki.

Back at the mansion, we see Gigantomachia fighting against Mt. Lady with the rest of Shigaraki’s team on his back.
