Chapter 382

Don't Let Him Go (かせない!!) is the three hundred and eighty-second chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Within the swarm of Twice Doubles are Doubles of Tomura, Dabi, and All For One, who each try to use their Quirks but fail. After Tsukuyomi dropped his fellow classmates off, Froppy notes how everything isn't as bad as it could be, since if Himiko had transformed into one of the other Villains earlier and cloned them it would've been all over, but since she didn't, there must be a reason why they can use to their advantage.

She says how the real Twice's Doubles could use their Quirks, but based on Himiko's words, she can only use the Quirks of the people she loves, and theorizes the reason she didn't clone the others is because she doesn't love them. She continues that in this extreme situation, her feelings could change at any moment, so they must find the real Himiko as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Himiko becomes distraught wondering why Tomura or Dabi's Quirks won't work like Twice and Uravity's did, believing she loves them yet all her attempts still failed, including her previous tests. The words "all heroes must die" continue to wrack throughout her head as she laments why she can't become Twice. Uravity is able to spot a lone Twice crying, recognizing that as the real Himiko, and thinking to herself how she loves seeing people happy, which is how she noticed the tears.

Tsukuyomi continues his assault on All For One, with Hawks telling him that even though he's invincible, he's on a timer so they just need to keep him down at all costs. Earphone Jack yells out to the Heroes to cover up Dark Shadow and block out any source of light, with Illus-o-Camie preparing to project an aurora sky with her Glamour Quirk to help. But then, All For One unleashes a massive explosion of light that blasts away Dark Shadow, greatly diminishing him once again, while stating how obnoxious they all are. Tsukuyomi looks on to see that All For One has become visibly younger now as a result of the Rewind effect, and proceeds to use his Quirks to boost his way out of the battlefield.

The Heroes give chase, with Gale Force carrying them with his wind, refusing to let him escape, as both All For One and Hawks recognize something that will change the course of the battle: the arrival of Gigantomachia. All For One commands him to finish them, but instead, Machia throws a giant part of the mountain directly at his master. On Machia's back, Red Riot calls out to his classmate telling them they're here to not let him reach Deku and Tomura, accompanied by Hitoshi Shinso.
