This article contains spoilers for “My Hero Academia” Chapter 271.

After the cliffhanger moments in chapter 270, fans expected that they will know more about the fate of Shigaraki. However, “My Hero Academia” chapter 271 revolves around Fumikage Tokoyami’s attempt to rescue his teacher Keigo Takami or Hawks.

Hawks was badly wounded, and Tokoyami decides to save him before Dabi kills him.

However, Tokoyami is warned against going to the terrace, but it is too late.

He arrives at the top floor to find the pro hero in bad shape. It is interesting to see Tokoyami face a villain like Dabi, who is immensely powerful. However, Tokoyami’s resolve to save Hawks from this imminent danger is larger than his fear of facing Dabi.

Tokoyami knows that the place is cramped, and due to the flames, his quirk – Dark Shadow’s strength has dropped.

He knows that he needs to take Hawks to a place where he can get treatment. But, to Tokoyami’s shock, Dabi is still talking. He continues to ridicule them. This is likely a part of the plan.

Tokoyami realizes that it is possible that he is getting ready to launch a massive attack, and he is getting warmed up by buying time distracting them.

Suddenly, they are covered with ice, and Tokoyami gets a chance to escape with Hawks.

Towards the end of “My Hero Academia” chapter 271, there is a scene featuring Gigantomachia rising, and he announces that he can sense his master's presence.

In “My Hero Academia” chapter 272, it is possible to Gigantomachia will come to Shigaraki’s aid after the vat is destroyed.
