My Hero Academia Fans Spot Major Clue for Spinner's Future
Spinner might not be as strong as Shigaraki, Dabi, and the other members that make up the League of Villains, but the lizard-looking antagonist has been able to strike a chord amongst the general populace that netted All For One more followers to his cause. With My Hero Academia's manga focusing on a duel between Spinner and Shoji, an Easter Egg might be hinting that the foe to Class 1-A might not make it out of the Final Arc alive.
Warning. If you have yet to read Chapter 370 of My Hero Academia's manga, be forewarned that we'll be diving into spoiler territory for the latest manga installment.
With Spinner clearly receiving a mysterious power-up from All For One and Shigaraki, making him appear to gain quite a few sizes as a result, the antagonist is also leading an army made up of around fifteen thousand Quirk wielders that all have appearances that are far from human. While perhaps not explored as thoroughly as other story elements, the prejudice that the "Paranormal" citizens of the world receive helped push many into All For One's waiting arms, with many believing that Hero Society has let them down. Spinner might be more powerful than he has ever been but it's clear that this upgrade comes with a price.
Heroes' Mission: Stop Spinner
Twitter User RukashuMHA noted that Spinner's dialogue changes between two "Japanese syllabaries", showing that the young villain doesn't have complete control of his mind as a result of the power-up and might be hinting that the upgrade is too much for him to handle:
Horikoshi chose a very interesting way of showing that Spinner is messed up: he keeps intermingling Hiragana and Katakana, the two japanese syllabaries. It's not that he's grammatically incorrect, but more like hE's TaLkiNg LikE THIs #MHA370 pic.twitter.com/zZ4YJZ56DW

The Final Arc has been touted by creator Kohei Horikoshi as the last story featuring Class 1-A and their exploits in the crime-fighting world as a part of Hero Society, though we would imagine that plenty of anime fans are crossing their fingers that a sequel and/or spin-off series will emerge following the Shonen's conclusion. With the War Arc taking place in My Hero Academia's sixth season, it has yet to be confirmed how many additional seasons and/or movies will be released to chronicle both the heroes' and villains' stories.
Do you think Spinner will survive My Hero Academia's Final Arc? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of UA Academy.
