KEY POINTS

  • Deku gains an upper hand in the battle
  • Lady Nagant needs a new trick
  • "My Hero Academia" Chapter 314 is releasing this Sunday

All For One's mercenary, Lady Nagant, is up against a formidable opponent in the form of Deku. After Deku's surprise counterattack, Lady Nagant will have to improvise in "My Hero Academia" Chapter 314.

In the last chapter, titled "High-Speed Long-Range Mobile Cannon," the intense battle between Deku and Lady Nagant continues. Deku decides to zig-zag his way toward her and tries to stay out of her line of sight.

He needs to avoid Lady Nagant from tracking his trajectory. Deku is relying on his One For All Quirk to gain speed and reach her before she can change her position.

Deku wants key intel about Shigaraki and All For One and right now, Lady Nagant is the one who knows about their location. Suddenly, Deku is hit from behind. He wonders if the opponent has any backup snipers assisting her. But Deku cannot sense any bloodlust close by.

He realizes All For One would give additional abilities to his mercenary. He knows the shot that hit him in his back is powered with an incredible curving ability. Moreover, the closer he gets to her, the more intuitively she can target him. She will not have to rely on any calculations to figure out his location.

Also, when he is closer, Lady Nagant can launch quicker shots, making it close to impossible for him to dodge. Even the Fourth cannot help him react fast enough to dodge the shots.

Deku summons the Sixth's Full Blast and Lady Nagant is surprised to see her opponent pulling off multiple Quirks. A past user appears to warn Deku against using that much smoke as it places him at risk.

He tells Deku he is fighting a high-speed, long-range cannon and the moment he comes out of the smoke, she will shoot him down. Deku reveals he is not trying to escape but is using the smoke as a decoy to catch Lady Nagant. Toward the end of the chapter, he successfully manages to get hold of her arm.

"My Hero Academia" Chapter 314 is scheduled to release this Sunday. The chapter will be available online on Manga Plus and Viz.
