Fans say Goodbye to ‘My Hero Academia’
Popular new-gen anime series ‘My Hero Academia’ recently concluded on a note that left fans buzzing. The series creator, Kōhei Horikoshi, has spent over a decade skillfully weaving a story of good versus evil that has had a deep impact on anime fans. But the final chapter has left some fans disgruntled, sparking a debate about whether it was too rushed.
Meet Izuku Midoriya, aka Deku, our born-without-a-quirk underdog who beats the odds to become a hero. The story of his journey has drawn in countless fans. However, there’s a snag. Many fans think the series’ ending fell short of their big expectations.
Understanding the Ending Twist
Got a shock with the final chapter? You’re not alone. Fans have been left puzzled by the decision to have Deku end up as a teacher rather than the long-hoped-for hero. Before jumping to conclusions, let’s try to understand what Horikoshi was aiming for with this plot twist.
Throughout the series, Deku has been all about helping others, even rescuing Bakugo when he was still without a quirk. This selfless nature was probably why All Might chose him in the first place. The creator of the series always wanted to keep Deku away from the pull of power and status.
True to his heart, Deku as a teacher makes sense. He’s there to shape the next generation and bring out the best in them. Even though it might bring some initial disappointment, the decision stays faithful to Deku’s character and Horikoshi’s vision.
The Real Message of the Series End
In the last chapter, Horikoshi drops a harsh truth – not all dreams come true. He decided not to gauge Deku’s growth with a hero rank but by his influence on others through his selflessness. This unique take makes ‘My Hero Academia’ stand out from other series and leaves a lasting impression on its viewers.
Just because Deku is primarily a teacher now, it doesn’t mean his hero dream has ended. Horikoshi left a neat hint for fans, showing Deku wearing a new suit of armor given by All Might, and meeting up with his Class 1 A students again. It’s a little sneak-peek which keeps fans guessing about what might come next.
The ‘Not-so-Special’ Announcement
Like a cherry on top, fans were looking forward to a ‘special announcement’ that was promised. It could’ve been anything – a prequel, a video game, or another cool surprise. Sadly, it was just the show’s first-ever character popularity poll. This added to the disappointment of some fans who were already upset with how the series had concluded.
But let’s remember something. The journey of ‘My Hero Academia’ over the past decade has given us a story and characters we’ll never forget. It’s created magic that’s hard to recreate. Even with the recent backlash, it’s clear that the series has left a powerful mark on its viewers.
Our favorite series, ‘My Hero Academia’, can still be enjoyed on streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu. Regardless of the criticism, it’s undeniable that this show has provided a story that continues to captivate fans with its unique narrative and deep character development.
In the end, ‘My Hero Academia’ remains a landmark series in anime history, sure to be celebrated and remembered for a long time to come.
