My Hero Academia Chapter 297 may begin with a new arc, taking the manga to a different path as its storyline may feature a major change. Anyhow, it looks like fans have to wait a little longer as the series will be on a holiday break after My Hero Academia Chapter 296.

Fans can't blame the manga creator Kohei Horikoshi for My Hero Academia Chapter 297's delay. The publishers themselves go on a holiday as the New Year is about to come.

So, what will the new chapter entail? According to BlockToro, Chapter 297 preview reveals the "worst is not over yet."

Something more sinister may happen, along with several heartbreaking scenes that will make the matters worst. The Heroes have suffered a lot, while Midnight is already confirmed to be dead.

If the ordeal continues, there may be more damage happening to the Pro Heroes. Add to that their tarnished image in public due to Dabi's revelations, they may have a hard time to cope up.

My Hero Academia Chapter 297 may reveal the events after the big battle and how the society will start to lose their respect for the Pro Heroes. Some of them will even leave the group and begin to look for a regular job, while others will have no choice but to quit, like Endeavor.

Serguruku added My Hero Academia Chapter 296 is the Paranormal Liberation Front versus the Hero arc's climax. As the series of battles at the PLF quarters end, this chapter will reveal the "impact of the damage."

The end of this chapter will reveal where AFO Shiggy plans to attack Tartarus and free AFO's real body. This attack may continue in future installments, as the story may still focus on the heroes. If this happens, fans may once again see Stain, Overhaul, and Gentle Criminal.

Comicbook noted the current arc is the most intense arc in the manga so far. However, there is more coming on the way.

All For One may be in prison, but he can still direct his followers against the hero society. There are theories he may perform a prison break, revealing the most deadly arc fans are about to see.

With the current arc coming to a close, a new one will begin, and it will be dark like no other. Fans know All For One wants to take over of Shigaraki's body.

They have an unbalanced bond that makes it more difficult for Izuku to save Shigaraki. All For One's possible escape may only make the matters worst.

Tartarus has no hold of the villain, knowing he can still reach out to Shigaraki and others. If he manages to break free, it can be the "final nail in the coffin" for the hero society's positive image in public.

My Hero Academia Chapter 297 will be out on Sunday, January 17, 2021, while Chapter 296 will drop on January 3.
