Chapter 380

A Skosh (カンイチ) is the three hundred and eightieth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Gentle struggles to hold onto the falling U.A., telling La Brava that his Elasticity has reached its limit while she is about to finish up the program to return the flight system. Gentle continues to think about how he knows the one that just zipped right out of the structure was Deku, wondering if the boy placed his trust in him, or if he even realized he was there in the first place. He thinks how there's no cameras or audience this time, with no cheers for him, yet the joy being present still fills his heart.

However, he is surprised when he looks up at U.A. to see the Business Course students filming away at him, narrating the current events. He calls out to them about it being too dangerous and to get inside, but they yell back that filming is their job; with Japan in ruins they believe they should've helped maintain better public relations and failed to connect the Heroes and the people, which is their duty as Heroes of the Business Course.

Just then, La Brava surprises the Business students by hacking into and taking control of their phones, causing Naomasa to be confused at what she is planning. She reveals that she's already fixed the flight system and proceeds to broadcast the phones' footage live across the internet, declaring that she won't let Gentle's efforts go unseen. U.A. begins to float in the sky once again, making it much lighter for Gentle to hold again.

Elsewhere on the observation deck, the Twice Doubles continue to swarm intending to kill every hero, while "Kurogiri" keeps rambling to himself, confused at who he is the protector of, until he spots Eraser Head and Present Mic being knocked off the deck by the Doubles. Chargebolt calls out to his teachers, when suddenly "Kurogiri" reappears beneath them, warping all three of them away. Chargebolt is surprised that he saved them, with Mandalay noting he also got rid of Erasure for good, telepathically telling everyone that all they can do now is believe in Deku.

Meanwhile at the Gunga Mountains, All For One reveals that he was supposed to have full control of Tomura's body, and that the fusion and new personality weren't part of the original plan. His desire for destruction was stronger than he anticipated, but now all he has to do is get him to absorb his Quirk Factor and he will be regain control once again, allowing the "Demon Lord" to be complete. Hawks retorts back that it isn't his story, but theirs, and not his to do as he pleases, continuing to swipe at him and prevent him from escaping.

All For One mocks that the winds are blowing his way, and seemingly kills Hawks by destroying his body with a spatial distortion Quirk, shocking Tsukuyomi. But then suddenly, he is baffled as Hawks' face turns all "glittery" and simply fades away, revealing him to be an illusion created by a just arriving Illus-o-Camie. Shishikross, who had just rescued Hawks in the illusion's place, reveals that the Shiketsu High School students were tasked with escorting the civilians evacuated at U.A. through the tunnels, but since they never showed up, they assumed something had gone wrong, so they have arrived to help. Gale Force unleashes a massive Whirlwind sucking up all the Twice Doubles, declaring he is the one who decides which way the wind blows.
