The final volume of My Hero Academia has officially revealed the fate of one of its most complex characters, Dabi. Released on December 4, 2024, the extra pages, which were leaked prior to the volume’s release, confirm Dabi’s tragic end. His death was anticipated by many fans, especially after his appearance in a life chamber before the Todoroki family, where he was fighting for his life. Despite the hope that Dabi might survive, his story ends as expected, with the confirmation of his death.
The final volume also sheds light on Shoto Todoroki’s emotional journey and growth. During a reunion party celebrating Toya’s #2 hero ranking, Shoto opens up about the hardships he faced due to his difficult family background. While many assumed his past weighed heavily on him, Shoto reflects on how he turned these struggles into a source of strength.

This realization hints that Shoto may pursue a future beyond being a hero, possibly as a soba chef, honoring his brother’s memory in a personal and meaningful way.
The volume’s extra pages also capture a poignant conversation between Shoto and his brother Toya, who had been a villain in the past as Dabi. During their last meeting, Toya, now fighting for his life, expresses his disillusionment with his family’s expectations and his doubts about becoming a hero.
