Chapter 392

Villain Name (ヴィラン) is the three hundred and ninety-second chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Himiko Toga yells to Uravity that she doesn't know a thing about her, revealing Froppy from the Twice swarm at knifepoint. Uravity reacts in fear, while Froppy feels the effects of getting injured on Okuto Island, unable to fight back. Himiko continues that she never wanted for anything, because she always followed the rules and was born into a livable life, as she's about to slice Froppy with her knife.

Himiko thinks back to her past when her parents found her with a dead sparrow. They believe that she killed the bird, drank its blood, and smiled about it, but she cries saying she found it on the ground in the yard. She recalls her time in Quirk counselling for her to become reformed and "normal", and how they attempted to resolve her "deviant behavior". She continued to think about everyone calling her scary and to just act normal, all the while she looks at the world around her and how people spread their love to each other.

Her parents confront her after learning she drank her friend's blood, but she claims they were hurt so she was just sucking the injury, which they say isn't normal. With tears in her eyes, she says she doesn't understand, asking if everyone fights their urge to be the way they want to be, wondering why nobody sucks blood like her. Her parents break down saying she is rotten to the core, having given birth to something inhuman.

Himiko thinks about Curious' words to her, how she pushed her feelings down, suppressed herself, and created a mask to become someone else entirely. Just then, Uravity pulls Himiko away toward her, barely grazing Froppy. Earphone Jack tries to catch the falling Froppy, only for Kamui Woods to reveal he already saved her. The Froppy starts to Transform and tries to attack Earphone Jack, being smacked away by Kamui, revealing that the Doubles have been drinking the blood spread across the battlefield and have started turning into the Heroes.

They point out that their team-up wasn't enough to take on the horde, and now that she's able to deceive them, they have no way to stop her. While Hawks' words echo in their minds, Froppy yells out to Himiko that she thought that following the rules is what makes someone a hero and breaking them made you a villain. But despite this, Uravity is setting the rules aside to try and have a conversation with her, something much tougher than her killing them all or them beating her, begging her to listen to what she's saying.

Himiko stabs Uravity in the stomach, yelling out that they're built differently, and how they go on about happy, blessed lives, but she doesn't get to feel any of that, as their rules pity her, but don't care. As this happens, she thinks back to sometime in the past, when Twice asked her if she wants a Villain name of her own.
