Chapter 394

Ochaco Uraraka vs. Himiko Toga (お) is the three hundred and ninety-fourth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Uravity thinks about how there's something weird about Zero Gravity, now that it is causing everyone to float in the air together. Himiko also notices all of her Doubles are floating, and when she tries to make new ones, they too start floating, which she realizes is just like the last time she was almost killed, when her Quirk awakened. Kamui Woods grabs onto Tiger, asking if he is the the real one, responding that he would've melted from his injuries already if he was a fake, looking up towards Uravity and thinking how far she's come since the training camp last year.

Uravity's body is starting to go cold due to her serious injuries, but despite that, she continues to push herself, wanting to reach out and touch the sorrow within Himiko. Uravity successfully grabs onto Himiko with her grappling hook once more, calling out that her family is poor and her parents often looked gloomy, so she decided to become a hero to make their lives easier and cheer them up. But she continues that as she grew up, she learned the world's full of other people. Himiko pulls the hook up towards her as Uravity says she fell in love with Izuku and now is trying to stop her, declaring that is who she is and why she is here.

The two girls get in close to each other as Himiko screams and attempts to slash with her knife, while Uravity begs her to tell her what is on her mind, and all of her thoughts and feelings. Himiko, with rage and tears in her eyes, thinks about everything that has happened in her life, and is about to stab Uravity, but at the last moment, stops. Himiko begins to speak, saying she falls in love easily, whether it's animals, Villains, Heroes, boys, or girls, they all have amazing blood pumping through them.

Uravity listens on as Himiko says she was told not to smile, and she'd get so jealous of others. She says Izuku reminds her of a boy she used to like named Saito, but knew she couldn't ask him for his blood, because then he'd call her a freak and not cute at all. Just like Uravity and Izuku, everyone would scold and lecture her on the right way to be, which is why she joined the League of Villains, because then she could live and love how she needed to. She cries out and is about to stab once again, but stops once more.

Uravity says the signs were always there from her, but it took her so long to notice. Himiko then begins to feel Twice's transformation starting to fade off her body, meaning that his blood has been used up, and will be gone soon. As the Heroes start to notice all the Doubles disappearing around them, Uravity tells Himiko she thinks there's something amazing about someone who's all ragged but trying their hardest anyway. She continues she isn't a replacement for the League, but she still wants her to know how special she thinks her smile is. Himiko asks if she really is cute and Uravity responds, "the cutest in the whole world". Himiko smiles as all the Doubles fade away into the sky.
