Kohei Horikoshi hinted at the heartbreaking moment that might be happening in My Hero Academia Chapter 297. The manga series is now taking a dark turn, and the Japanese artist seems to be insinuating something emotional is taking place after tearing up while writing the story.

Horikoshi, reportedly, cried when he was doing My Hero Academia Chapter 297. Although the 34-year-old personality didn't reveal what touched his heart while working on the series, some believed something worse is going to happen.

After everything that occurred in Chapter 296, a lot of things could go wrong in the new chapter. In the comment section of Jump magazine, Horikoshi talked about different stuff, including One Piece Chapter 1000 and more.

However, the world seemed to stop when he revealed he "teared up and started to cry" while doing Chapter 297, BlockToro noted. It was an emotional moment for Horiskoshi himself, so it might be far poignant for fans and readers alike.

By the looks of it, something terrible may happen in My Hero Academia Chapter 297, making fans a little worried about what it may be. The manga is on a two-week break, so the wait makes it harder for them to think about what may happen.

Add to that the new Japan anti-piracy law, there may be no raw leaks dropping before the chapter drops. This may also mean that fans will have no choice but to wait for the series's official release date.

Anyhow, fans can't help but cast their predictions on what may occur. There are assumptions All Might may visit Stain in the Tartarus prison, and Shigaraki will make his way to break All For One out.

This may result in someone's death in My Hero Academia Chapter 297, and it can be Shigaraki himself. However, it is also possible that it can be a hero or someone who holds a major role in the manga.

In the new chapter's short preview, anime leaker Atsushi teased the "worst is not over yet," EconoTime cited. This may only mean that there will be more devastating scenes coming after Midnight's death and Endeavor's injuries.

Horikoshi's words may also have something to do with the tarnished image of the Pro Heroes. As people have lost their trust in them, they are now thinking of leaving the city or the organization to live a normal life.

Finally, the My Hero Academia Chapter 297's two-week break will be over as it will be out on Sunday, January 17, per Comicbook. Fans have to wait and see how the students of Class 1-A will deal with the epic war's aftermath.
