Chapter 389

Assurance and Prayers (とり) is the three hundred and eighty-ninth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
The Counter-Force reports in on how the rising in temperature of Dabi's inferno is slowing down, thanks to the intervention of the Todoroki Family. However despite this, the temperature's not dropping, meaning the explosion is inevitable. At the centre of the impending blast, Rei, Fuyumi, and Natuso continue to unleash their Frost Quirks to try and cool Dabi down. While he laughs to himself, Dabi thinks about how everyone's finally watching him, and looking at Endeavor, thinks "so this is what it's like?". He then thinks about if it was so simple, why did it not happen sooner.

The firebomb continues to ramp up, reaching the battle between the Heroes and the Twice Doubles. Tiger calls out for everyone to retreat or they'll get caught in the blast zone, with Uravity still remaining to deal with Himiko. The Heroes and the evacuated civilians continue to ride the robots and the vehicles, also attempting to escape from the explosion. Komari Ikoma tells the Masegaki Primary School students everything will be alright, and watching the live broadcast on their tablet, Tamashiro happily agrees. While others all over like Hiroshi Tameda watch the broadcast, praying for the Heroes' success, Shoto and Ingenium zoom their way toward the location in their Engine-powered ice jet, as Shoto readies his Phosphor.
