My Hero Academia Chapter 427 spoiler speculation

Kohei Horikoshi/Shueisha

Titled ‘Who is Tomura Shigaraki?’, My Hero Academia Chapter 427 starts with a TV program with the reporting asking everyone about the deceased villain. The civilians understandably have a bad perception about him, blaming for all the havoc he wreaked.

The scene then changes to Spinner’s hospital room. Turns out the one entering his room in Chapter 426 is Deku. He’s come to give Spinner Shigaraki’s last message to him, despite acknowledging that the Decay user was a mass murderer.

Spinner is confused about Shigaraki leaving a message for him instead of Dabi, Toga, or Compress. But he confesses the Decay user was his hope for wanting to destroy everything. The more the heteromorph gets upset, the bigger he grows. He reminisces the late villain, confessing Shigaraki to have been his hero and first friend.

The heteromorph shares though Deku and other heroes will eventually forget Shigaraki and the League of Villains, he wants to keep the memories alive by writing a book about Tomura Shigaraki. Deku says it should be a comic instead of a book before confessing he’ll never forget the Decay user.

Before the young hero leaves, Spinner asks him to tell the “octopus” (probably referring to Tamaki) to do his best. Deku leaves the room to find to All Might and Tsukauchi waiting for him. The cop shares Chisaki has been arrested and the previous Hassaikai boss (Eri’s grandfather) has gone to see him.

The scene then changes in My Hero Academia Chapter 427 to Chisaki and the boss. The old man reveals he’s awaken from his coma after some support gear nullified the Overhaul Quirk placed on him. He also says he’s disappointed with Chisaki for straying from humanity’s path.

The villain apologizes after being reminded he should always remember what he did to little Eri even though she’ll forget him. But he’ll stay with him as the villain repents for his sins.

Back to Deku, he asks whether they can prevent such terrorism from spreading again. Tsukauchi says it can happen if Hawks increases the number of Pro Heroes. All Might reminds him he has to go back to school as the new first-years have arrived.

The chapter ends back in U.A., with a bunch a girls running after Bakugo and Todoroki as the Explosion user shouts at them to get expelled!
