The Obon festivities are over, and we have received spoilers for My Hero Academia’s chapter 397, with the manga returning after a brief hiatus. Here, we have discussed the early leaks that will help you figure out what you will be getting in the upcoming chapter.

In the previous chapter, All Might amazed everyone with his courage to fight AFO. No one believed in him, but he proved that he was worthy. Well, the battle is not over yet, and seeing the spoilers for the next chapter, we doubt if it will be done anytime soon.

My Hero Academia chapter 397 teases the ongoing battle

MHA 397 starts by showing All Might feeling guilty for beating a much younger man than himself. He then starts thinking that he can keep talking nonsense as AFO wants to steal One For All, and this desperation has filled him with loathing, and now, he will not think twice before harming the innocent ones.

All Might then starts to provoke the bad guy by saying that he doubts him being the demon lord as a person like himself who doesn’t have any quirk is able to fight the mighty villain. This makes AFO angry, and he releases six powers and creates an explosion. All Might is seen flying.

However, All Might remains unaffected as his armor is strong enough to protect himself against these attacks. He then starts thinking of more ways to trigger AFO. While Hercules notices and informs All Might that the armor’s hand is severely damaged, AM asks him to switch on the support mode. AFO finds out about All Might’s strategy, so he also starts talking nonsense about how AM was fighting; he says that he doesn’t even think of this as a fight.

AFO then says that all he has to do is to destroy the armor, and after that, All Might is nothing in front of him. He also calls AM garbage. All Might thinks of the time when Deku told him that plenty of pro heroes get defeated because they rely too much on support tools.

The chapter then ends with showing All For One, saying that he already knows he is going to win the fight, and hearing this, AM mocks him.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Most, if not all, of these animes can be watched on the streaming service Crunchyroll.

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
  2. Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
  3.  Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference. For example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan. Or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
