I can't wait for this series to end and we get the sequel series: My Hero Academia: Year Two.

It feels weird to have everything lurch forward into the final arc, but a series like this could theoretically run forever, so it has to hit the accelerator and make everything fall over sooner or later, and now is as good a time for it as any I guess.

Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
I don't mind the idea of a shounen moving to an ending at this number of chapters or anything, but I dunno, it still seems a little abrupt to me. Like, the... Momentum I guess of most of the arcs before this doesn't seem to lead to us being in the endgame here.

Back when the school festival with Eri and someone said that we're only, what, three months away in universe from Deku gaining a grip more superpowers and leaving school to fight the Ultimate Evil it would sound mental to me then.

The manga feels to me like it's almost missing a middle to the story, or at least a big chunk of it. Maybe I'm just brain poisoned from reading One Piece, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter etc for nearly half my life.

Honestly the series spun it's loving wheels for close to 100 chapters so you're definitely right

Chapter title contrariwise, I think we're easily 100+ chapters from the actual end of MHA, even if this is the beginning of the final arc.

I'd have preferred this in a hypothetical second year where deku has 50% or more control of ofa I think. Like deku getting access to the other powers and not blowing his limbs up seem a bit disconnected

I've seen some speculation that he's in America right now based on the statue he's standing on. If that's true, I hope he runs into Captain Celebrity.

I didn't watch any of the movies but weird gargoyles sticking out of a skyscraper is more of a Batman Gotham thing than Japan imo. Could just be a shoutout of course. That and for whatever reason AfO didn't pursue All Might there, so it makes sense if he's just reduxing his mentor. If it is the US I hope it's really messed up and makes Midoriya want to totally change hero society, even if structural issues aren't really a focus of this manga. EL PROBLEMO ES EL CAPITALISMO!

Deku's plan to keep everyone else safe by staying away is flawed because AFO/Tomura can just... attack UA anyway to force Deku to come to him?

I got a feeling we're gonna get the "You think I'd let you do this on your own?" thing.

If anything, I kinda wonder if there's gonna be some time gap where the third movie takes place.

I hope we get some chapters of Deku's journey on his own before his inevitable reunion with his friends. I also want to see some chapters showing how the rest of the class are dealing with all this, as well as that awkward moment when Shinso takes Deku's empty spot in the class.

You know what? Maybe we get an arc or two where Deku just isn’t around before we check in with him again. That’d be cool

100 chapters of Deku explaining what his friends told him with all the art filtered through what he thinks happened.

Yeah, the little talk with Nana suggests that he and Tenma would be on the same page.

And hey, with his usual habits, finding a doctor would be very, very useful.

It's revealed that the whole issue was caused by Deku like Dr Tenma since it's a time loop where he saved Shigaraki but not his family and left him with his quirk.

It reminded me of gargoyles from the Chrysler Building, but it's probably not that.



Seems likely that it's a homage to a scene from a movie but I just can't think of what it is. Maybe Batman 1989.

There are dozens of hits for "batman standing on gargoyle" that look similar.

Don't be ridiculous, he merely unlocked long whiplike tendrils, super strength and the ability to sense incoming danger.

Deku's eyes when he was in berserker mode vs Shigaraki definitely had a Spidey/Venom look to it.
