My Hero Academia chapter 419 reveals horrifying news about the series' hero, Deku. In recent chapters, Deku bravely fought Shigaraki, putting everything on the line as the whole world watched his brave actions.
Meanwhile, chapter 418 shifts the focus to the developments in Dreamscape, where AFO makes a surprising return in the manga.
This unexpected development disproved fans' assumptions that he had been written out of the story permanently. His return proves the resilient nature of his malevolence, as new spoilers shed light on his continued evil deeds throughout the story.
Amid online rumors, fans have been increasingly speculating about an important development: the possibility of Deku losing his arm in My Hero Academia. To fully understand this speculation, it is necessary to look at the detailed spoilers of My Hero Academia chapter 419.
Did Midoriya lose both arms in My Hero Academia Manga?
That's right, in the intense battle with Shigaraki, Deku indeed lost both arms. This tragic outcome takes place in a dreamscape, following the chain of events leading up to All For One's dramatic debut, which was revealed in the previous chapter.
Within the confines of the dreamscape, Deku is exposed to memories of Shigaraki, specifically activating his Decay ability for the first time. It is clear that Shigaraki's deep hatred and his philosophies can be traced back to that pivotal moment.

In a poignant dreamscape scene, Deku, undeterred by the danger of this ability, reaches out, hoping to divert Shigaraki from his path of destruction.
Deku's efforts seem to be making an impact, touching something in Shigaraki's heart. However, it was at this critical moment that All For One intervened. He takes this opportunity to reveal the true origin of the Decay ability, revealing that it is an innate ability not possessed by Shigaraki.
The return of the greatest Villian
This moment is considered a key reveal in My Hero Academia, challenging fans' long-held belief that Shigaraki's gift is innate. The truth revealed by All For One (AFO) sheds light on an important turning point of events:
AFO gave Shigaraki the Decay ability as a child, under the guise of helping him cross the street. This action sets the stage for the quirk's sudden activation soon after.
AFO's manipulation went beyond conveying an oddity; he engages Shigaraki in a conversation in which he criticizes Shigaraki's decision-making skills, effectively creating the illusion of autonomy for him. This interaction highlights AFO's profound control over Shigaraki's life, steering him at every turn.
AFO's Shigaraki's psychology is complete, culminating in them going from a dreamscape to reality.
At this time, the entity known as TomurAFO (the fusion of Tomura Shigaraki's body with AFO's consciousness) appeared. Declaring the end of Shigaraki, TomurAFO advances towards the critically injured Deku on the battlefield.
In key scenes revealed by My Hero Academia chapter 419 spoilers, Deku is depicted as having lost both his arms. He was bleeding heavily and immobilized from injuries sustained during the confrontation. So, the manga confirms Deku losing his arm after the dramatic events in the dreamscape.
