Without a doubt, Horikoshi won’t be skipping to any other scene until this plotline gets resolved or progresses at least a bit more. As such, fans should expect the Todoroki Family plotline to be the crux of the next chapter of the manga.
The Todoroki Family Uses Their Power
In the previous chapter,fans saw Rei jump into the fireand use her Frost powers to keep herself from burning. She then proceeded to use her powers to lower the heat produced by Toya and attempted to save him. Surprisingly, she was followed by her two children in Natsuo and Fuyumi. Both of them have suffered quite a great deal and do not want to lose any more members of their family. The Todoroki Family has been in pain for quite a long time and they certainly deserve happy memories. Not wanting to lose any more of their family members, Natsuo and Fuyumi also follow their mother and try to save Toya. It must be remembered that they also have the powers of the Frost quirk and with it, they will most likely continue to lower the temperature of Toya inMy Hero Academiachapter 389.
The Todoroki Family has reunited here and this means that saving Toya is now possible. However, this task is mammoth and would require their very best and impeccable teamwork. Endeavor, who is the primary culprit here, will likely hold Toya in his place while Rei, Natsuo, and Fuyumi try to put out his flames and cool him down before he ends up dying and, at the same time, blowing a big chunk of the city with himself, killing thousands in the process. The process of saving Toya could take a huge turn inMy Hero Academia389.
Shoto’s Arrival
While the vast majority of the Todoroki Family is already with Toya right now, there isone character missing and that’s Shoto.As fans know already, Shoto is an exceptionally important character and it should be expected from My Hero Academia chapter 389 to deliver an update on him. More likely than not, Shoto will make it to the place where his family is right now. He is alsoan incredibly powerful Quirkuser and his ice powers surpass those of his siblings by far. Using his ice powers, the flames of Toya will be weakened and likely put out, giving the family an opportunity to save him. As such, Shoto will be the trump card here andMy Hero Academiachapter 389 will most likely see him join the fray and help save his brother and protect his family at the same time.

While it is hard for Shoto to get there immediately, it must be remembered that Ingenium is with him andMy Hero Academia389 could also focus a bit on him as his legs, which are carrying the future of not just the Todoroki Family, but countless civilians as well. It goes without saying that the next chapter of My Hero Academia is going to be extremely intense and, more likely than not, this family plotline is going to reach its very end, making My Hero Academia 389 massive.
Toya’s Fate
It isn’t difficult for the fans to see that the Todoroki Family plotline is now nearing its end. My Hero Academia chapter 389 will most likely throwsome focus on Toya Todorokias well. In the previous chapter, it was clear to the fans that he had lost himself to his powers completely. At this point, his only goal is to burn as much as he possibly can and destroy those who he believes have wronged him. At the same time, he also wants to kill Endeavor and that is his biggest goal. Toya believes that his mother is also an accomplice in his mistreatment and, given that he has lost himself to his powers, he wouldn’t think twice before killing her as well.
However, unless Horikoshi ends up killing the entirety of the Todoroki Family, it is quite clear that Toya is not going to explode and the civilians, as well as the members of the Todoroki Family, will be safe. This also opens up the room for Toya to survive. Although he has been a Villain for the vast majority of the series, he is, at the end of the day, a child who suffered from immense trauma. After witnessing a miserable childhood where he could never live up to the expectations of his father, Toya was consumed by his own flames.
His family did not give him a support system and all he is today is simply down to Endeavor.My Hero Academiachapter 389 could focus on Toya’s mental state once again and give the fans an idea of what he is thinking currently. While his fate might not be revealed immediately, fans could see Horikoshi open up a path to redemption for him.
My Hero Academia does not appear to be on any break at the moment. My Hero Academia chapter 389 is expected to be released on July 12, 2025. As always, fans can read the chapter for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app.
