My Hero Academia Chapter #430 Release Date & Time

Summary Chapter #430 of My Hero Academia will be the series finale after a decade-long run.

Deku realizes the support Uraraka has given him, and vows to support her in return.

The final chapter is set to be released on Sunday, August 4, 2024, at 8:00 AM PT/11:00 AM ET.

Chapter #430 of My Hero Academia will be the final chapter of the series, at last closing the book on the epic saga that has been going on for 10 years now. Chapter #429 consisted of a major discussion between Deku and Uraraka, as the latter finally opened up about how she'd been feeling since the final war ended. That wasn't all, however, as the mysterious figure from chapter #425 made a return appearance which helped to underline how things have changed.

While Deku and Uraraka's private chat didn't result in any confessions of love, as many fans hoped, it was a very emotionally significant moment for both of them and their relationship. It marks something of a turning point for Deku, who finally realized how much support Uraraka has given him over the course of the story, and he's vowed to now be there for her in the same way. Deku will no longer be taking the aid she's given him for granted, and is ready to repay her in whatever way he can. Here's everything a fan needs to know about My Hero Academia chapter #430 before its release.

What Time Will My Hero Academia Chapter #430 Release?

My Hero Academia, Written and Drawn by Kohei Horikoshi

My Hero Academia releases new chapters each Sunday at 8:00 AM Pacific Time/11:00 AM Eastern Time. Accordingly, the Shueisha MangaPlus website lists the release date for chapter #430 as 8:00 AM PT/11:00 AM ET on Sunday, August 4, 2024. New chapters of My Hero Academia can be read on either Shueisha's MangaPlus app or Viz's Shonen Jump app, and will release simultaneously on both platforms, using the same translation. On both platforms, the three most recent chapters are available to be read for free, so fans won't even need a subscription in order to catch the final chapter when it drops.

What Was My Hero Academia Chapter #429 About?

Chapter #429 Gave Deku and Uraraka a Long-Awaited Chat

Chapter #429 was more or less evenly split between two different plotlines. The primary focus of the chapter is on Uraraka, who in the previous chapter had left the school temporarily to go home. Deku quickly finds her, however, as she's actually not headed home yet, but is looking out over the city alone. Deku managed to get Uraraka to open up to him, and she confessed that she was feeling responsible for Toga's death. Deku reminded her that, much like how he himself once was told, she doesn't have to carry that burden alone. Deku even goes so far as to call Uraraka his personal hero, showing how much he appreciates her support.

The other storyline followed the mysterious character introduced in chapter #425, who turned out to have a horrifically tragic past, which they only recently escaped. Wandering through the streets and in need of help, the character's inner monologue begins to sound a bit villainous, and the comparisons to Tenko Shimura are obvious. However, a woman who calls herself Granny suddenly reaches out to help--and it happens to be the exact same woman who didn't help Tenko all those years ago. Granny's gesture of kindness moves the mysterious figure, showing how civilians can have the biggest impact in shaping the world.

My Hero Academia Chapter #430 Marks the Series Finale

There's No Predicting What Will Be in the Last Chapter

As of now, nothing is known about what chapter #430 might contain. While the last few chapters have had their final page hint at the context of the next chapter, that didn't happen with #429 (at least not as obviously), so it's impossible to say exactly what will happen. Many fans are expecting that chapter #430 might be a time-skip epilogue, akin to the final chapters of other manga, like Bleach. Such an epilogue might give a glimpse of the series' heroes all grown up and professional, further showing how the world has changed since the final war with the villains ended.

What can be said for certain is that #430 is the last chapter of the series, and will be responsible for putting the cherry on top of the story that is My Hero Academia. Fan reactions to a final chapter are often mixed, at least initially, due to the sadness of knowing that this decade-long adventure has finally come to an end. It may be best to go into the final chapter with no expectations to prevent disappointment from getting hopes too high. Hopefully, fans will be able to celebrate My Hero Academia finally being completed, and can congratulate its creator, Kohei Horikoshi, on a story well told.
