My Hero Academia Chapter 296 will start with a new arc next year. As the manga goes for a holiday break, it will show the aftermath of the heroes versus villains' fight when it returns.

The previous chapter ended with a major cliffhanger that made My Hero Academia Chapter 296, a much-see. Deku will be recovering from the injuries he has sustained and mastering the new quirk he acquires.

In addition, the battle between the Pro Heroes and the League of Villains may be over, but it leaves a lingering effect. So, according to BlockToro, the new installment will show its aftermath in detail.

Gigantomachia and Shigaraki have caused massive destruction, that it is quite hard to know how many people have been affected. It will reveal all the damages they have done and the total number of deaths.

A lot of characters here will be hospitalized to heal their injuries. Also, fans are about to see the result after the battle of the mansion occurs.

By the looks of it, My Hero Academia Chapter 296 will take a dark turn, and things may get terrible. Deku will be waking up in a hospital bed and do everything he can to get up and get out of there.

Lemilion, who is not that badly injured, will stop him and ask him to stay so that he can fully recover. As the manga moves forward, there may be a time skip to show a much-normal atmosphere and significant changes.

Meanwhile, Devdiscourse added the chapter might also focus on Shigaraki, "struggling with AFO," who is taking full control of him. He and Deku may also face each other again.

In addition, My Hero Academia Chapter 296 will feature a shocking revelation about this surprising character. Twitter user Atsushi also drops a hint at what may happen next, teasing something may happen to Shigaraki at the end. This may mean AFO may be waiting for Shigaraki, or it can even be Nana Shimura.

My Hero Academia Chapter 296 is set to be out on Sunday, January 3, 2021. It is expected to drop at around midnight Japan Standard Time.

If this follows suit, its English translations will be released at the following times in different countries, per HITC. The international audience can see it at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, 11 a.m. Central Time, noon Eastern Time, and 5 p.m. British Time.
