Warning: contains spoilers for chapter 340 of My Hero Academia

After the last several issues of My Hero Academia focused on the uncovering of the long-suspected U.A. High “traitor,” Chapter 340 returns to the existential challenge of the villains All For One, Tomura Shigaraki, and the remaining members of the League of Villains/Paranormal Liberation Front. While Class 1-A has expressed that they are able, willing, ready to step into the breach. Despite All Might’s belief in Class 1-A, he also seems to believe that success will be more likely to occur if they rely on the powers and abilities of the remaining Pro-Heroes.

Answering the call to All Might’s call for “all hands on deck,” those Pro-Heroes not currently occupied otherwise meet together with All-Might and devise a plan that, on paper, seems likely to succeed in neutralizing the threat. The question is, in a manga focused on the victories and failures of Class 1-A, would series creator Kohei Horikoshi really allow the Pro-Heroes to swoop in at the end and steal the win?

Despite Horikoshi’s focus on Pro-Heroes stepping in as the ultimate saviors, the reality is he is forewarning their demise and replacement by members of Class 1-A. Evidence of this ending is amply foreshadowed across this story arc. In Chapter 335, for example, while All Might tamps down Class 1-A's enthusiasm to join the battle against All for One, he nevertheless realizes their potential, confidence, and most importantly, the fact that outside the academy their abilities are unknown. As such, they present a potential secret weapon against society’s opponents, should the Pro-Heroes fail or otherwise prove ineffective.
