My Hero Academia Cliffhanger Readies for Amajiki's Full Power

By Nick Valdez

My Hero Academia is setting up to showcase what Tamaki Amajiki can really do with the cliffhanger from the newest chapter of the series! When the Big Three were first introduced ahead of the Shie Hassaikai arc of the series, fans had expected to see more of a focus on Mirio Togata considering that he was touted as the best hero in the school overall. But as fans saw over the course of its events, much of the focus had actually gone to Amajiki, as his heroics as Suneater ended up setting the stage for what seems to be a grand moment heading his way in this final war between the heroes and villains.

The final battle between the heroes and villains has been spending the last few chapters in the midst of the fight against Tomura Shigaraki, and the heroes have been struggling to deal any real damage before Izuku can get to the battlefield. This has led to a number of heroes trying to hold their own against the villain, with the previous chapter of the series seeing the Big Three join the fight themselves. Now that the fight is fully moving forward, the key part of their strategy has been revealed to be focused on Amajiki's true power. 

Chapter 361 of My Hero Academia continues the Big Three's fight against Shigaraki, but even they are having trouble landing a blow on Shigaraki. Mirio reveals that while his power has allowed him to get the closest to Shigaraki to strike, Shigaraki's new body seems to be much harder than any regular punch can deal with. It turns out that Mirio's plan from the get go was to buy time for either of the others to deal a hard enough hit, and Nejire Hado also agrees that it will be Amajiki dealing that big blow. While Amajiki himself is just as nervous about his skills as he's always been, the other two are very confident in his power. 

The final moments of the chapter then see the true potential of his Vast Hybrid quirk. While Nejire and Mirio buy time, Amajiki starts to build up a massive canon formed out of thing he's eaten. It's a quirk without a real ceiling as long as Amajiki eats the necessary ingredients, and the result together with Nejire's quirk energy leads to a weapon that can deal a big enough blow to Shigaraki if it works out. But that's going to be a big if.
