#Eri and Kota being friends

[ael-draw]

Little Eri and Kota having kid's discussion ✨

(The audio is from the show "Bluey")

As I may have mentioned here before, I'm a student in animation, I'm actually in my second year and this was our (with my dear friend @zeyaado 🫶🏻) first attempt at lipsyncs :3

We've planned on making that same animation in 2D instead of stop motion, so you must see that again 👀

I hope you've liked it, the pupet took us like 6 hours of cutting and the same time to animate, so yeah it was A LOT OF TIME but it was fun! 💃

Like you must have seen, there is no watermark on that animation, but we both refuse to let anyone use it as their own, SO PLEASE DO NOT REPOST IT ON ANY OTHER PLATFORMS!!!

[sassypantsjaxon]

I 100% think he got adopted by the granny and I want someone to make art of him growing up with a loving and supporting granny

Oh gosh, that would be so sweet I'd love that. I just wish horikoshi had told us more about him

[w0rmm1lk]

Texting.

Reader: not mentioned.

characters: all characters i write for (besides kota and eri)

type: can be read as both platonic and romantic

sumarry: how i think the mha characters would text.

warnings: possible swearing, denki being denki.

👾Mina Ashido👾

she abuses her emoji privledges. like nobody will ever receive a message from her that doesn't have an emoji. lots of all caps.

👓Tenya Iida👓

oh you were texting him? bitch writes as if he's writing a formal email. your ass is lucky that he doesn't start that shit off with "I hope this message finds you well.". not even kidding will proof read every message he sends at least twice.

♾️Ochaco Uraraka♾️

will end every message that isnt on a serious topic with :D. its so sweet tbh.

⚡Denki Kaminari⚡

this man uses so many abbreviations that even if you think you use a lot just know you're learning a new one everyday. not even kidding makes up his own shit. once sent mina "lmkiydthesicci" and nobody could figure out wtf he meant. lowkey flirting with every mssg he sends. every single person in the class, girl or not has received a message from him that just says "hey bbg ;)". he received a very long lecture from iida and a very confused reply from todoroki. todoroki didn't actually know wtf bbg meant. thought he misspelled bbq at first.

🪨Kirishima🪨

unironically sends messages that just say "rawr". uses the :} face a lot bc he thinks it looks like his unbreakable.

🐙Mezou Shoji🐙

i feel like he has such a low screentime that if anyone needs to text him he's only available for like an hour a day. accidentally leaves ppl on read. messages seem very bland usually.

❄️Shoto Todoroki🔥

another bland person but tbh hes the worst out of them all. like he can look at a whole paragraph asking him if he wants to go to the movies with the rest of the class and all he will reply with is just "ok." uses periods at the end of every message but I swear he's not mad.

💥 Bakugo💥

if he receives any messages past 8pm the "reply" will be you getting left on delivered even if he's still up, or a message just saying "shut the fuck up and go to bed.". also bland but he's more of a "k" bland rather than a "ok." bland.

🥦Izuku Midoryia🥦

he will not even kidding receive a message that just says "hi" and will send a whole paragraph that is basically just a lengthened "hi! how are you?". uses the smiley emoji a lot.

💫Momo Yaoyorozu💫

lots of ! at the end of messages, you can feel the happiness through your phone screen. uses heart emojis at the end of messages and memorizes the meaning of each color so she can use them accordingly.

🖤Shihai Kuroiro🖤

another :} user, sometimes uses :] but mainly :}. only ever texts ppl at hours like 2-4 am. you cant convince me he gets enough sleep.

👔Neito Monoma👔

you think hed text you?/j kinda just an average texter, any message about class 1a will be in all caps.

😈Dabi😈

oh look. another bland ass texter, at least he takes the time to actually type out "okay," only sends emojis if he's talking about how weird the emoji looks.

🔪Himiko Toga🔪

uses :] all the time. not :}, or :). just :]. if anyone texts her, even if its just a simple "hi." and she isn't busy, congrats you've agreed to a 3 hour face time call.

✋Tomura Shigaraki✋

he leaves everyone on read. if you question why he left you on read all you're getting is an "if its so important then talk to me face to face."

🃏Mr. Compress🃏

so you know how earlier i said you were lucky Iida didnt start with "I hope this message finds you well,"? your luck ran out. he writes it like you're a long distant friend who he is sending some fancy ass shit letter to. not even kidding ends each message with "--Compress."

🪽Hawks🪽

types so fast his phone doesnt even register his hands. half his messages be looking like "se tht ouds ood". he doesn't even bother to edit it or correct himself.

👁️Aizawa👁️

he texts like a dad. texting this mf be like:

"ok👍"

"*photo of a weird boat*"

🌙Midnight🌙

miss girl uses so many ;) that its hard to tell if shes suggesting something weird or not. ended every greetings message with that one kissy emoji.

🙂Mirio Togata🙂

uses the 🙂 all the time because he thinks it looks like him. it does.

🌀Nejire Hado🌀

lots of !!! and :D, also uses the :> a lot lol. lots of blue heart emojis aswell.

🦋Tamaki Amajiki🦋

sends articles about different butterflies he likes or thinks the person he sends it to would like along with a message along the lines of "I think this fits you :]". rarely texts first but when he does he clicks send and sitts on the other side of the bed as his phone while staring at it intensely, just waiting for the reply notif. wont actually read the reply for a good minute.

🐈‍⬛Hitoshi Shinsou🐈‍⬛

sends photos of random animals he sees while out and about. usually just cats. (no way this man doesn't feed the strays around ua) another person that only texts at night time.

🛠️Mei Hastume🛠️

uses >:D a lot, shows blueprints of her new babies all the time, ngl they are usually rlly messy. texts are just :

"LOOK AT THIS NEW BABY IN PROGRESS >:D"

"* incomprehensible image of a blueprint *"

⭐Yo Shindo⭐

uses the thumbs up way to much but like in the passive aggresive way yk? but also if you send him a photo of something ur proud of he will reply with a simple "oh that's cool!" but there's so much fucking emotion behind it ur just kinda like ???

🛡Melissa Shield🛡

her messages are so sweet. sunset pictures of the ocean every other day. lots of :).

wrote this is one go and now my hands hate me. i think this was at least 20 characters-? idk I'm struggling to count.

[novaneondream]

Kota: lmao imagine being in love with your childhood friend

Bakugou: … Hey little rhino can you come over here?

Eri: Yes Kacchan? :) Oh Kocchan is here too :D

Kota: *splutters*

[silverynight]

Mysterious boyfriend

Kota is sure Midoriya-sensei is dating someone, and he is going to find out who that person is.

The first thing he does is go to his friend, Eri; she's the only one who knows Midoriya enough to actually have information about it.

"I don't think he does," she says, narrowing her eyes at Kota's question as they walk inside the UA. "But if he somehow has a partner, it has to be Bakugo-san!"

Kota rolls his eyes at the name.

"Of course not!" He huffs. "I follow Mr. Explosion on Instagram and X and he would have posted something about dating Midoriya-sensei. He wouldn't be able to resist."

"It seems like you don't like Bakugo-san," Eri pouts, making him feel a little bit bad already.

"I'm not sure he's a good choice for Deku," Kota argues, although he hears the hesitation in his own voice. He knows Dynamight is completely in love with their teacher and practically worships him, even if Midoriya himself has no idea.

"Are you kidding me?" Eri says, a little bit defensive. "He's perfect for him! They have known each other their whole lives! And Bakugo-san looks at him like Deku is his entire world! They'd be really good together!"

Alright. Maybe she has a point, but Kota has to solve a mystery first.

"Well, even if they'd make a good couple, they're not together. Bakugo-san wouldn't be able to hide it. Besides, I'm sure he wouldn't want to keep it a secret."

"I think you're right," she says, a little bit reluctantly. "But what makes you think Midoriya-sensei is dating someone?"

"Let me show you..."

That's how they start observing their teacher, especially when he's on break or thinks no one is looking at him.

"You see that? There's no way he prepared that bento box for himself! Look at how good it looks!"

"You're right..." Eri agrees, nodding. "There's no way. He doesn't take that much time making food for himself. I've seen him eating instant noodles a couple of times."

Midoriya takes out his phone during his lunch break and starts texting someone. His cheeks turn slightly pink, and he starts giggling in a suspicious way.

"Yeah, definitely talking to his partner or crush there," Kota nods to himself.

Eri smiles softly at the scene.

"So cute! He's truly in love!"

Kota is not so sure about that, but it certainly looks like he's into the other person.

But there's no concrete proof of him being in a relationship.

Kota and Eri start hanging out a lot because they like to discuss their teacher and his secret love life. The problem is that they only do it at school, so one of those days, their classmates hear them, and they want to talk about it too.

Now the whole class 1A is trying to figure out whom Midoriya-sensei is dating.

Even though they're not sure if that's the case at all.

Someone says it has to be one of his friends, so they start by observing his interactions with them every time the pro heroes stop by the UA to help class 1A learn about hero work.

Another person is sure Midoriya-sensei is dating Uravity, but Kota dismisses that idea quickly because he's sure the boy who suggested it just ships them together. They look like very good friends though.

The thing they notice and everyone agrees on is that Dynamight is definitely in love with their teacher.

And Kota has to agree, he's not subtle at all; they usually find them talking in the hallway before class begins, and the explosive pro hero couldn't be more obvious if he tried.

"Maybe Midoriya-sensei is dating him," another boy says, and Eri immediately high-fives him.

"Do you really think Dynamight-san would keep it a secret if that was the case?" Kota asks, looking from Eri to that other boy quickly.

"I think you're right," a girl behind him agrees. "He'd say it out loud as soon as he could. Maybe even post it on his social media as soon as possible."

"But are we sure he's dating someone?"

"No, but the homemade bento is certainly suspicious."

When Pinky comes to the UA and has lunch with their sensei, a couple of their questions are answered.

Or that's what they think.

Ashido seems to be constantly teasing their teacher about a man, so they all assume he has a boyfriend.

"We're still not sure they're actually dating–"

Eri gently elbows the boy before he says anything else and Kota silently thanks her for it.

Aizawa narrows his eyes at the window that leads to the hallway and stares for a moment before he continues eating his lunch. Midoriya and Ashido, or any other of the teachers in the break room, don't seem to notice.

"If your Dad realizes what we're doing, we're screwed," Kota whispers to Eri as they both sit on the floor.

"Absolutely."

Later that day, they watch as Midoriya walks pro hero Pinky towards the parking lot.

Eri and Kota follow them close.

"I think it's cute he makes bento for you every single morning even though you don't live together yet. He loves you so much!"

"Ashido, please!" Midoriya stammers, as his face turns completely red.

"What? You know it's–oh, hi, there guys!"

Both Eri and Kota blush when the pro hero notices them.

Midoriya-sensei narrows his big, green eyes in confusion.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be heading home already? Do you need a ride?"

Kota shakes his head, slightly embarrassed. He feels bad for spying on Deku, but the truth is that he worries about him. He needs to make sure his teacher has a good boyfriend.

"We wanted an autograph!" Eri says quickly before pulling Kota closer.

Ashido seems delighted.

***

"Do you think it's pro hero Shoto?" One of the girls asks, as they all gather in the gym. If the teachers have noticed that all of class 1A have been spending a lot of time together, they haven't mentioned anything.

"Just because we saw them hugging outside it doesn't mean he's the boyfriend!" The boy who ships Uravity with Midoriya-sensei argues, a little bit irritated.

Kota admits that he has a point nonetheless.

"They seem to be just friends."

"Pro hero Shoto definitely has a thing for Midoriya-sensei."

There's a small discussion after that, mostly carried by the ones who don't like that pairing. Kota regrets involving everyone in this mess; they seem to be treating it like a game and it's not.

Eri looks like she's worried too.

"I think we should stop."

Everyone starts arguing and talking at the same time, but at the end of the day they agree not to discuss their teacher's love life anymore.

Kota thinks is for the best, even though he'd like to know, mostly to make sure the mysterious boyfriend is a good person and won't hurt his sensei's feelings.

"I think it's cute how much you worry about him." Eri says the next day, after Kota tells her about his concerns.

He blushes.

"I'm not..."

"I worry about him too, you know?"

Kota smiles at her, feeling a bit less embarrassed. Midoriya is class 1A's teacher, but it's different for Eri and himself; to them he's Deku, the hero, and their friend, almost like an older brother, the one who saved them when they needed him the most.

And they just want him to be happy.

***

When Kota sees class 1A gathered around their sensei in the parking lot he worries, especially when he sees a tall guy with a helmet on his head, hopping off a very expensive bike approaching Midoriya.

Eri is probably thinking the same because she looks at him with worry before saying: "Let's go before they say something-"

"Can we meet your boyfriend, Midoriya-sensei?"

"My what?" the teacher stammers as he turns into a deep shade of red.

"The one who always makes luch for you!"

The guy wearing the helmet snorts.

"That'd be me." He says, and he sounds ridiculously smug about it.

Kota is not sure he likes him.

"Kacchan!"

"Great!" Eri cheers, absolutely happy. "I knew it!"

Does that mean what Kota thinks it means? He hopes not.

The man takes his helmet off and a few people gasp when they recognize him.

"Dynamight-san!"

"Listen, Kacchan does make me lunch and picks me up sometimes, and he also pays for my dinner, and he-"

"Yes, I'm his boyfriend." He cuts the flustered teacher off, smirking when Midoriya looks back at him in confusion. "We just started dating. We would've started years ago if he wasn't so damned oblivious, but at least he knows how much I love him now."

"Kacchan..." Midoriya-sensei is tearing up now, but he's grinning from ear to ear. Bakugo takes one of his hands and kisses his knuckles.

Ugh. Kota does not want to see this.

"Now, fuck off, brats! I'm going to take my boyfriend on a date now!"

"Don't swear in front of them, Kacchan!"

"Bet they know more curse words than I do!" Bakugo smirks, pulling the green haired teacher close to him before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

"I still don't approve of him," Kota tells Eri, sounding a bit grumpy.

"You will!" She says, almost like a threat. "He's great! Besides, can't you see he adores Deku?"

"I suppose he does," Kota admits, albeit reluctantly. "But I'll keep an eye on him nonetheless!"

"Of course you will," she says, nodding, although he can see she's rolling her eyes already.

Despite not liking Bakugo that much, Kota knows Eri is right. He makes their sensei very happy.

honestly even if izoch didnt become canon, i think they still had the best conclusion out of any relationships. the last climax of the final war was their talk, izuku basically calling ochako his hero and holding her hand? meanwhile we havent even gotten an actual talk between bkdk and izuku didnt even acknowledge anything bakugo did for him. thats why many people think hori chickened out from confirming izuoch and just left it soft canon/implied at the end.

i disagree with u, but i respect your opinion, i will show why i disagree tho

first:

izuku and ochako are definitely important to each other this is canon and is beyond love relationship, they are friends first, like everyone in class 1A, this is the canon part that is not implied. Obviously if some people view more as love it’s ok too!

but now let’s talk about the importance of the acknowledgment of the hero thing and the hold hands in mha!

calling someone hero there is to show how this person is important, it’s not romantic at all. Izuku is kota and eri’s hero and obviously this is not romantic, it’s a way to show to that person how much their existence impacted on them. (and shoto also said something similar about izuku being he’s hero) And izuku calling ochako hero there make total sense, why? because she was struggling because she didn’t save himiko, that’s way he said that ochako was he’s hero, because even tho he couldn’t say that she was himiko’s hero deku needed to show her that she is important as a person, not as a friend, not as a lover, as a hero.

and i love this part because shows a lot about uraraka’s development! and i will also say the importance of him calling her by hero and not heroine, as her japanese VA said, uraraka is a hero so she is a woman that goes there and worked for her own things as a HERO, she recived and sacrificed herself for that work, if hori used heroine so this would make them being implied because heroine is the love interest, the girl who is a hero but is always saved, and kidnapped, and used as a weapon of torture, to disturb the hero

and who recived that cargo? katsuki.

now the hand hold, this is way more symbolic because it’s like a izuku’s thing and iz//chas used that as the biggest reason just because the hand hold has more history with bkdk than with anyone else 💀, but in mha holding a hand is to support someone or/and asking if they are by someone’s side, just because someone hold the others hand this doesn’t imply nothing and i say that for bkdk too! Iida, kirishima, ochako, aoyama, tenko, all of them had their holding hand, kiri with katsuki and the rest with izuku and this just shows the importance of the “hold hands”

but why this is important for bkdk? because katsuki rejected. Again this doesn’t mean that they are a romantic pair! BUT ITS MORE SPECIAL BECAUSE ITS THEM. the thing is the whole bkdk development was around that fucking river scene with the no hold hand, so the importance of this to bkdk is to show their development and their relationship, but not to say like omg they are canon, if was just because of this so half of mha would be canon. And the problem is that iz//chas misunderstood that and made this as the final point, but there was just two friends talking about how ochako was sad because of himiko (who i dare say had more impact in ochako’s life than deku did, because she showed to uraraka her importance and made uraraka understand more the villans and watch them with another eyes)

and obviously the reaching for izuku’s hand is one of the biggest reasons why the hold hand with bkdk is important in another level, this represents katsuki accepting izuku and he’s friendship, it’s when he decided to be different, to be better and be with izuku for the rest of their lives

second:

i’ll be sincere to you, i also missed a scene with a bkdk talk. But i do not agree when u said that izu//ocha had the best conclusion, because mha is about izuku and katsuki. The manga started with them and ended with them (and all might). Platonic, romantic, whatever they are, they had the best conclusion because the show revolves around them, without one there would not have the other.

All katsuki’s development was around izuku and he’s relationship with izuku, everything he did was to izuku or for izuku, he grow up, he died, he cried, he trusted, he changed because he understood through his relationship with Izuku.

And izuku didn’t have to acknowledge anything because he already trusted katsuki even from the beginning and izuku called katsuki he’s hero a long time ago, AND izuku saw katsuki crying because he lost he’s quirk so he knows.

they know eachother more than themselves so has no need to do such things.

third:

izu//cha was not implied at all in the final, they didn’t even talked in the time skip, while bkdk talked before and after so, has nothing implied there is actually about iz//cha

but kacchan spending years saving money with their classmates and all might (with him being the heart of it) and working harder everyday so izuku and him could be heroes together for the rest of their lives? oh this is a romantic thing to talk about

and he finally reaching his hand back? i dare say CINEMA

[class1akids]

do you think in the end bkdk is romantically implied?

I'll answer these together:

I think that the Final Chapter was very carefully curated to ensure that all the significant shipping communities in the fandom get something, but everything can be interpreted in whichever way you want. The scenes are all pretty neutral on purpose (the purpose being is to keep the ship-centric fans hooked as they are the biggest spenders on the franchise especially once the manga/anime ends. They become the heart of future sales).

So there are bones/crumbs for almost every single shipping group that they can dress up and fill with romanticism but all of them are also just things that you can interpret as totally nothing romantic:

Eri & Kota - I feel like they are trying to appeal to the Damian x Anya kind of shippers since their handhold (cute kids - make up your own story of orphans -> childhood friends -> classmates)

Erasermic - popular ship - (perfectly angsty set-up to murder husbands getting a repeat of mourning Shirakumo's death)

Endhawks - Enji's final scene in the franchise is not with family, but with Hawks (Look at Hawks still hanging out with Enji. Rei is there if you don't like this ship.)

Spinnaraki - Spinner wrote his book! Look, wonder what's in it? (-> write your own SoL of the LoV with any ship combination that floats your boat)

Kiribaku (and Bakusquad crumbs, but Deku is also there now -> write your on fic of best bros supporting Katsuki's recovery. Any ship conbination is fine).

Izuocha (-> date? Could be. Or not. You choose).

This scene works for Togachako, Tsuchako, Iidachako, MomoIida and Izuocha shippers equally (as Ochako's mask is somewhere between Iida's and Deku's)

Todobaku confirmed chasing each other in the rankings for a decade is a beloved trope. But Deku talking fondly both about Bakugou and Todoroki can please the Bakudeku and Tododeku shippers or even the tdbkdk enthusiasts. (-> write your own fic of Deku wistfully watching his besties rise in the ranks thinking they are too busy to hang out with him while they are busting their asses off to buy him an ironman suit. Also do you think TDBK shacked up together to save on rent? Why not? And then they were ROOMMATES!!! Do they help out at Midoriya sensei's combat classes while having a crush on the cute teacher? Hell yeah! )

Bakudeku - a generous gift from Bakugou = a generous gift to the biggest shipping community. It fits all Cinderella / Forever and ever / Sugar-daddy fantasies, depending on where your romanticism lies, but it's carefully curated to fit into the platonic Dadmight + Bakugou & Deku canon storyline, it works with Bakugou's atonement / redemption and his angsty question of "what did I do to you?" in the hospital. (Did he do it as a final step to set things right for the bullying or did he do it because he can't live without Deku by his side? As a friend or a lover? Does Deku take his hand? Are they hero partners? Just the two of them or a bigger agency? - this is all up to you!)

But it's also developed by Hatsume and Melissa (if you like straight ships) and in fact a joint contribution by Class A - (So yeah - let your imagination run wild. I did. )

Ghost Tenko!!! - this is not as popular as TogaChako because of the age gap - but look!!! now they are both adults! They could be a ship if you wanted them to be?

Final panel - the big dilemma of where to place Deku?

BKDK? - maybe it would be too much and alienate other ships.

Ochako? - no, can't risk losing the bkdk crowd. (But she can look at him)

I know! TDDK - they are still a pretty popular big ship but also just sweet friends. Very inoffensive. Chill. Both Bkdks and Izuochas can breathe a sigh of relief and TDDKs can get a nice little crumb.

(Hey, why not also make this a Kacchako crumb and MomoJirou crumb and ....look it's Class A - we all love them!!!!)

Anyways, maybe I'm too cynical, but it seems to me that this ending was carefully curated by the marketing team to ensure that there is one resounding message here:

Dear Fans! The manga ended, but the franchise lives on. Whatever your ship is, please keep buying merch!!!!

[sm1ling-dopp3lganger]

Hey gleeple I doodled Eri and Kota becoming friends :3

Very cute and fun to draw

10 Years of Heroic Adventures, and to this day, Friday, August 2nd, 2024. Is where the My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi has finally come to an end at Chapter 430.

After reading the manga, I was left in tears to witness how far these kids grew to become the heroes they always been. I want to talk a lot about it but here's some of my highlights I've found. This is just me rambling out.

Spoilers if you haven't read the manga yet. Specially you Anime-Watchers, Y'all don't want to be spoiled.

It appears Kota is introducing his new friend Eri to Mandelay, and Toko and Hawks are talking, probably Hawk's new position as the new head of Hero Public Safety. Below Kota and Eri's are Aizawa and Present Mic praying their respects to Shirakumo at his grave.

I guess Spinner did became a writer afterwards. And I personally want to read that book too!

I dunno who that guy reading the paper, maybe it's Mr. Compress? But I'll be damned if that pannel of Midoriya and Uraraka are them going out. Those Shippers are picking up crumbs of IzuOcha content with this.

I'm betting Hatsumei used Iida as advertisement to her company. Gentle and La Brava started their Programming Inc now!

Featuring Eri, the future music artist along with her friends. And never in my life have I really need a Short-Haired Aizawa.

Jirou's and Kaminari's Agencies are right next to each others! I'm betting Jirou's agency is also a music studios. I'm picking this KamiJirou crumbs to myself.

Another Star Wars reference coming from Hawks.

And finally, Adult Class A, 8 Years later!

Aside from Hagakure still being naked as her Hero Costume, (she needs to take note from Mirio) Can we appreciate how much they looked so cool! And Kaminari giving rizz vibes. Kirishima looks so MANLY, and Jirou, Ashido, and Uraraka looked so gorgeous on theirs!!

Thank You, My Hero Academia for this wonderful 10 years, as the series had achived this milestone! You've inpired us all with every chapter written and every episodes aired! The series might have ended, but we still reaching ours, and we will achive our dreams!

THANK YOU, AND PLUS ULTRA!!!

My Hero Academia Chapter 430 Spoiler Talk: The True End of An Era (Part 1)

This is it, the final chapter of My Hero Academia. A series 10 years in the making has finally ended. It's really insane to think about. This series has done so much good for a lot of people despite the fandom's flaws. MHA was both people's introduction and even reintroduction to manga and anime. It's bittersweet to write about the final chapter, but I will do the best I can to honor the series I love. This is going to be a very long one. Also a lot of screaming.

Now, please, if you want to wait until the official translation releases on Sunday, PLEASE TURN AWAY NOW! Save this post and come back to it on Sunday when everyone has read the chapter. I will be using spoiler hashtags for this, so if you end up spoiling yourself because of my post, that's on you. THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING:

Here we go. We first start off with our Final Color page for the series! It's a gorgeous double-page spread featuring all Class 1-A (Now 2-A) kids that we've grown to know and love throughout the past 10 years including Shinso, Aizawa, and All Might of course. Izuku Midoriya AKA Deku, our beautiful MC who I will miss with all my heart and soul 💚, is leading the page and his friends towards the bright future they all fought so hard for. It's a wonderful way to conclude the series and I will make sure to get a high-quality version of it to use as my computer wallpaper.

The final chapter is titled "My Hero Academia" because of course it is 🥹. This was truly My Hero Academia.

OH FUCK WE GET A TIME SKIP TO THE FUTURE SOMEONE HOLD ME 😭

KOTA IS THE THE UA HERO COURSE AND IZUKU IS HIS TEACHER IT'S SO PERFECT FOR HIM!!!💚😭 I BET MR. AIZAWA AND ALL MIGHT WERE BIG INSPIRATIONS FOR HIM TO TAKE THIS PATH 🥹

IT'S ONLY BEEN 1 PAGE AND THIS CHAPTER HAS ALREADY ENDED ME IT'S SO JOEVER FUCK

BTW, Deku is saying a more optimistic version of the "Not all men are born equal" narration he told us at the beginning of the very first chapter of the series. Very nice way of bringing the story full circle.

Ok, the next 2 pages have a lot of things in them, so I'm going to try to sum it up as best as I can:

Izuku finally came home to see his mother, Inko, at their apartment and she looks happy 💚

All Might is out of his wheelchair and helping old Gran Tarino walk with a cane (how he still survived I have no idea).

All the kids running in their gym clothes in what looks like their second Sports Festival (god, what I'd give to see that in its entirety).

Miriko is very happy with her new prosthetics including one that looks like the Bullet Bill from the Super Mario series.

The kids struggling taking either mid-terms or finals written tests. Bakugo is still using his left arm to write, so I assume his right arm is still barely usable.

Shoji and Kota shaking some prominent mutant's hand I assume from their contributions towards the war.

Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods working together as usual!

Tokoyama meeting up with Hawks.

KOTA AND ERI HOLDING HANDS AND GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL WITH MADALAY'S APPROVAL THAT'S SO FUCKING CUTE 😭❤️🤍

Endeavor being followed around by his sidekicks and Hawks.

Aizawa and Present Mic visiting what I bet is Shirakumo's grave 😢

The fan translator says that the kids finally meet Melissa from the first MHA movie! We don't see her face, but I'll take what they say is truth.

Spinner's book selling and Compress reading it in jail.

Bakugo going through rehab to get his right arm back!

Deku and Ochako spending time in the snow.

OUR KID'S GRADUATION OH MY GOD MOST OF THEM ARE 18 THERE AND THEY'RE OFFICIALLY PRO HEROES I'M SO FUCKING PROUD OF THEM 😭❤️ Interesting though since none of them really look much older except for maybe Iida and Shoto, but it's hard to tell from the scans. And Bakugo and Monoma keep the crazy graduation tradition of blowing things up as their goodbye present to UA!

And finally, we see the embers of One For All slowly fade away in Izuku's hand until there's nothing left...

Oh, god. The time skip takes place 8 YEARS in the future geez. So, if this is 8 years since we left the kids in Class 2-A, they would be about 24-25 years old now damn. We're actually going to see them all grown up that's crazy.

The next page shows us a middle school class very similar to how we saw Deku and Bakugo at the very beginning of the series. The teacher asks them what they want to do in the future and we get to see small glimpses of other characters now such as Hatsume who has her own lab (go, girl!), and LaBrava who seems to own a company with Gentle!

The main kid we focus on in this class is Dai, the young boy with dark blue-ish dotted hair who was looking at the All Might statue in Kamino before the first war started (I don't blame you for forgetting; I had to look him up too). He says he wants to be a hero, but everyone else says that his Quirk is too weak for him to become one. Despite that, he still goes to the All Might statue (which sounds like has been rebuilt) for inspiration. Sound familiar? 🤔

Next we see Shoji accepting a prestigious award for his efforts in resolving mutant prejudice-based incidents! He looks SO BULKY HOLY SHIT DUDE 😳 And his hair got longer to the point of putting it in a ponytail! Also, Koda and the glue Class 1-B kid (I think his name is Bondo or something) are there to congratulate him too! I bet you that Shoji making it to the top 10 in the final popularity poll helped Horikoshi give him a little spotlight and it's a good way of following up on what happened after his bout in the Final War.

Next up, we see Ochako, Tsuyu, Momo, and Iida visiting schools across the country! Ochako has also set up a Quirk Counseling expansion project that's become one of the most essential things in the future society!

Ok:

1: It's hard to tell with Iida, but the girls all look slightly older especially with their hair being a little longer.

2: Their future costumes look great! It's not a 100% match to what we saw in Endeavor's vision, but it's still great! Iida's armor got more detail to them; Tsuyu's frog goggles got gogglier?; Momo is finally coving up her cleavage and showing less exposed skin took you 10 years, but you finally got there, Horikoshi; and Ochako's got updated headwear, the two dots on her outfit are side-by-side instead of on top of each other, and her collar thing looks similar to Deku's hero mask which I know was intentional.

3: Good for Ochako for doing something about Quirk Counseling. Definitely inspired by what happened with Himiko Toga. I hope this means that we won't have another incident like Toga had and that kids are now able to get help with their Quirks as opposed to being villainized. I hope Ochako's making good money out of this too for her family like she originally intended.

We also see a teenage Eri going to her music club with a guitar on her back! She has a normal girl's sailor uniform, so my best guess is that she's either still in middle school (I think she would be 14-15 at this point) or she's not in UA like a lot of us thought. Either way, she wants to pursue music instead of Hero work so I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't go to UA at all. It also looks like her horn did fully grow back, but whether her Rewind Quirk still works the same is up in the air.

And we see that Mr. Aizawa is still working at UA, BUT HE CUT HIS HAIR SHORT 😭 WHY DID YOU CUT HIS BEAUTIFUL, LONG LOCKS, HORIKOSHI??? OF ALL THE PHYSICAL CHANGES YOU GIVE OUR CHARACTERS THIS IS THE MOST DEVASTATING 😭

*BREATHS* But, he shows Deku and us a video of Bakugo SCREAMING AT A CIVILIAN FOR FILMING HIM TOO CLOSELY 😂😭 PLEASE NEVER CHANGE, KATSUKI BAKUGO 🧡 I'm also really glad he still got to be a Pro Hero despite his injuries.

AND NOW WE SEE MY SWEET FAVORITE BOY, SHOTO TODOROKI WHO CUT HIS HAIR A LITTLE SHORTER!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, I LIKE HIM BETTER WITH SHORT HAIR AND STILL LOOKS LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL PRETTY BOY HE ALWAYS WAS! STAY PRETTY, SHOTO!!! 🩵

Anyway, Shoto patrols day and night and is very nice to his fans! Kind king 👑! He's also become his own man to the public now as he's barley called "Endeavor's Son" anymore. That's a real relief because I know for a fact that that was haunting him for years. Also, there's a chance he'll pass Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods, and even Mirio in the rankings! I'm so proud of my fave! 🩵❄️🔥

GAH! I'm actually hitting a world limit here! I have to make a Part 2!

BIG SPOILERS FOR MHA CHPT 430

Assuming that timeskip! Eri is really in middle school based on the uniform, this implies that she was held back a bit academically based on the fact she is literally older than Kota who is currently in high school Which unfortunately would make sense Overhaul being the dick he is didn't enroll Eri in any school and even after she was rescued she probably needed to catch up academically plus quirk training but it resulted in her being a bit behind compared to her average peer

on the bright side at least she has friends now

[thefakeking]

I'm actually so sick of everyone hating on Chapter 430 for the wrong reasons because there is some parts that actually fit PERFECTLY and were very clearly planned from the start. Let's start off with some minor details.

Everyone being mad at Izuku being a teacher, however it honestly fits his character perfectly, with his interactions with others and kids like Kota and Eri throughout the series you see him inspire others so well. Combine that with him loving to analyze quirks and how to optimize them, it makes perfect sense for him to be a teacher at UA it would utilize his talents perfectly. And teachers at UA usually tend to be pro heroes anyway in the series, which he does become at the end anyways, so I don't know why people hate the idea so much. He can do both and he is doing both. It fits really well with his character

Everyone miscontruing him saying that they don't interact as much after they yknow don't live in dorms and have jobs into they abandoned izuku is SO FUCKING ANNOYING.

And the most important point that isn't just with 430, is izuku losing his quirk. I get it it was devastating to me as well, but people who say it was a bad writing choice DONT UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE OF MHA AT ALL.

Think back to the very beginning when all izuku wanted was to be told that even when he was quirkless he could still be a hero, and he got that recognition by All Might of all people. He said that Izukus actions are what makes him a hero basically, his body moving on its own is a sign of a hero. Its very touching but then they kind of completely go back on this by then giving Izuku a quirk, making it seem like well he couldnt be a hero without a quirk then.

THAT'S WHY THIS ENDING FOR HIM IS PERFECT. He lost his quirk and was back to square one, and yet at the end the message held true. He too could be a hero even with no powers. It's the perfect ending for him, becoming a pro hero with his friends with no quirk, because it was who he was that made him a hero, not the quirk gifted to him.

I think the ending was insanely rushed and completely disregarded a good resolution in many aspects, but stuff like this was done perfectly in my opinion. It's clear he planned this in the ending from the start because it fits so well with the beginning.

Headcanons I love even tho they go against my main beliefs for these characters

Ace/Aro bakugou. Idk why but I just. Love it. So much. Like yes lil dude be free!!! Fuck nobody!!! You never needed bitches!!!

And especially the headcanons where he's like. Absolutely clueless about love. Like Mina will ask "so bakugou what's your type?" And he just looks confused n goes "?? You mean my blood type???"

Izuku and Katsuki being brothers. Like not literal brothers by blood but they have that brotherly bond. I actually do ship dekubaku but this headcanon is still very dear to me and I think in another universe it could work.

Like it's so funny imagining them fighting the way brothers do or being mean to each other but also having each other's backs and protecting/defending the other. I love that for them

Idk why but asexual todoroki just. Wow. I love him

I feel like he would still want a romantic relationship just without the sex part. Like he's totally cool with kissing or cuddling bc cmon there is no way in HELL this boy is not absolutely touch starved.

I feel like while Ace bakugou thinks sex is gross and is repulsed by it, ace todoroki is just indifferent to it. He doesn't rlly care or have any feelings towards it. Like ok bestie go smush your peepees together while I watch the entire Beverly Hills Chihuahua franchise

As much as I love my blorbos bakudeku together I have to admit the idea of izuku being the token straight friend in a class full of the ell gee bee tees is so fucking funny to me. Like he doesn't understand the lingo and is absolutely sweating his balls off trying not to say something offensive and it's just hilarious. He accidentally uses she/her instead of they/them once and almost commits seppuku ( a japanese style of suicide which includes disembowelment)

I'm sure he includes everyone's pronouns in their description in his notebook to make sure he remembers what to use

Nonbinary jirou just. Fits. Like idk what anyone has to say about that but look me in the eye and tell me that bitch doesn't put on a binder

They're an enby and also bisexual bc I am correct about everything.

Trans kiri just works.

If deku doesn't grow up to be tall as fuck then I will literally have a meltdown

does he not look like the tall lanky nice friend that can't even say fuck??? Look me in the eye and tell me that. Do it.

Eri grows up to be really tall

Like idk where this comes from but to me she's just. Tall. Girly doesn't get you things from the top shelf she IS the top shelf

Also I personally don't like the eri x kota ship, I think it's kinda weird to be wanting these whole ass 6 year Olds to date, idk but it makes me uncomfortable

I saw a post once that said that Ochaco would be an active memelord (back when that term wasn't cringe) and oh my god. No. This bitch wouldn't know anything.

She has a fucking flip phone I doubt she has access to motherfucking twitter

I think she'd be like Izuku where she's just absolutely clueless on the lingo and slang and feels left out when her friends reference memes she's never seen before

And even if they do take the time to send her one or two she wouldn't understand it

I also saw this in a different post but tsuyu listens to asmr

Tokoyami too

I love the black Mina headcanons but I'm filipino and so starved of representation so I'll just pretend she's half pinoy but grew up in japan so she doesn't really know much of the language (you'd be surprised how many of us don't speak our native language despite living here all our lives)

Himikos eyebags come from the many long nights she spent as a villain doing literally anything else but getting a good night's sleep. Like I know in the backstory episodes we see her with the eyebags as a child, but when I first watched the show I just assumed that that was the reason she had them, and I'll stick to that till I die

Mirio is autistic. Do not argue with me I am right.

The 40 - "Freedom"

----

Listen to this song as you read the fan comic:

----

@the-ravenclaw-werewolf, @purplemochi20055, and @hulkchloron99

----

As the old saying goes: "Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes".

From what the beings of the multiverse have to offer, Izuku desires to understand his former friend Katsuki by gaining the Quirk, Explosion. They granted Izuku's wish by bestowing him a Quirk that's the same as Katsuki, and to Izuku's surprise and subsequent delight, activating Explosion feels like...in his own words..."freedom".

Once Izuku gets the hang of it, he gets into a kneeling position and lets his emotions and passions loose. Allowing him to achieve a short-lived flight through the air as the giddiness and wonder he always has deep down regarding the numerous times he saw Katsuki use his Quirk to propel himself in the air.

----

Canon MHA reactions:

Midoriya Inko: (teary-eyed happiness) Izuku...

All Might: "Freedom"...interesting...

Bakugou Katsuki: Of course, my Quirk would be awesome! But that damn nerd better get rid of it before he gets back!

Uraraka Ochako: (Happily) Deku-kun!

Iida Tenya: SUCH A GREAT AMOUNT OF APTITUDE!

Todoroki Shouto: Midoriya...I wonder how you'll fare with my Quirk...

Asui Tsuyu: I hope Midoriya-san doesn't get too overconfident. But good to see him enjoying himself

Mineta Minoru: He looks so cool flying.

Kirishima Eijiro: GO MIDORIYA!!!

Shinso Hitoshi: So that's how he feels about his friend's Quirk.

Togata Mirio: Keep flying Izuku!

Izumi Kota: Whoo hoo Izuku!

Eri: Fly high Deku!

Shouta Aizawa: Guess there's more to the problem child than I thought.

• he's writing in his diary ??? he's wearing a tie correctly??? "deku - SENSEI ??" , i mean realistically this probably was the best option out there for him after losing ofa and don't get me wrong teaching FITS deku so well and the line about "now it's my turn to give other people's dreams " is so sweet (also could totally imagine him awkwardly trying to discipline his class lmao - )

but low-key been holding out for a quirkless tech supported hero deku ?? and the fact that even Dai basically says that the profession still only favours the kids born with the strongest power- seems like society it hasn't rly changed that much (nvm wrote this like 5 minutes before I saw the last panel)

• in the same vein , why tf is the popularity rankings still a thing ?? Like isn't that one of the biggest problems of hero society ( cough cough endeavour ) , I mean like I suppose popularity is important to give hope to civilians , but I feel like they shouldn't atleast modified it ?? Also aizawa showing deku the video of bakugo getting cancelled is so funny to me like sir why you tryna stir the pot here-

• LOVING ochako and shoji doing change for toga and spinner & the heteromorphs rally , THIS is what I wanted to see

• so happy that momo's new costume is not sexualised finally girl got the coverage!! , (and that fact that her and jiro has matching headphones now )

• also grown up eri , looking happy with her friends holding musical instruments 🥺 jiro taught her how to play - + kota being in UA

• todoroki making a name for himself outside of endeavour - the todoroki family remains one of the best storylines in bnha

• and wait oh ??? All might and bakugo comes with a present ?? QUIRKLESS SUPPORT TECH DEKU !!! I win ( literally scratch my first point )

• aghgh no bkdk hand hold but honestly this is better EDIT * implied hand hold , that fact that bakugo is reaching out and not letting him get left behind is actually BEAUTIFUL thanks I'll be thinking about this for a couple hours-

• also I thought that they were gonna pull a fairy tail and have the villains come back reincarnated but so glad atleast for the tenko panel

Overall Its a sweet ending !! Thank you Horikoshi for this 6 year long (and probably 6 years to come) hyperfixation

I spend a lot of time harping on the disappointing and frustrating aspects of MHA, so I'd like to change gears and talk about some specific positives for me:

- Ida, Todoroki, and Izuku's friendship during and post Stain Arc. The way those three stuck together was just awesome, and we got the legitimately funny 'Hand Crusher' moment.

- Eri being 100% ride or die for Izuku. I'm not a fan of Eri (specifically her writing), but seeing her going so hard for Izuku in the light novels were the ONLY bearable moments for me.

- Kota becoming an Izuku fanboy and apologizing for how he acted towards him, specifically how he ran up to hug Izuku after the Dark Izuku Arc.

- All Might and Inko owning up to their mistakes and working to make up for them.

- The audience legitimately cheering for Sero after his match with Todoroki during the Sports Festival, seeing as how unfairly matched up they were.

- The OFA vestiges (for the most part) being genuinely kind and helpful towards Izuku, gently encouraging him to rest and not push himself during the Dark Izuku Arc

- Dark Shadow absolutely loving Izuku and being so gentle with him during 1A vs Izuku 🥺

- Aizawa FINALLY realizing how unfair and awful he'd been towards Izuku during the PLF War, specifically after hearing Izuku stand up for him

- AFO in Kamino Ward was badass. Enough said.

- Dadmight and Izuku. No other words needed.

- Ida comforting and reassuring Izuku that he'd always be there to help him during 1A vs Izuku.

- Endeavor actually realizing how awful he was towards his family, and Natsuo and Shoto being more or less allowed to feel conflicted/resentful of him.

Those are all very nice moments, I do have to say. I agree wholeheartedly with all of them.

Adding to that list, I love how the girls support each other. It’s such a good group dynamic and I love that despite their differences they all look out for each other and their friendship is strong.

I may criticize the plotline as a whole, but I do like that instead of turning on the Yuuei traitor they understood the traitor’s situation and promised to help the traitor with their issues. It was honestly really heartwarming.

I love Kaminari, Sero, and Kirishima’s adorkable friendship. They’re all so goofy together!

I love seeing Kirishima and Tetsutetsu’s bonding moment during the Sports Festival. Kiri definitely needed another friend and branching the gap between the (at the time) nebulous 1-B and our 1-A was really nice. (Plus the separated at birth theory makes me laugh. Too many coincidences! Get the string board!)

Eri SMILING and finally acting like a kid during 1-A’s musical number at the Culture Festival and making Mirio cry? That hit me right in the feels.

Speaking of Mirio, I love his friendship with Midoriya. He is the exact kind of friend he needed and he’s so goofy he makes me smile whenever we see him. The Big Three are honestly one of the better parts of the Academia part of the manga/anime.

This is a bit of a petty moment, but I’m petty and it makes me laugh: Overhaul’s whole cameo in the Lady Nagant arc. I personally despise him so seeing him so disheveled and bewildered all of the time gives me joy.

I LOVED Shuichi/Spinner’s loyalty/friendship with Shigaraki. He is such a ride or die friend and it made me smile every time he mentioned how much he was willing to do just to save him. It reminds me of how dedicated Iida/Todoroki were to save Midoriya from himself and it hits home that they’re effective foils of each other.

And of course, Uraraka and Midoriya’s bond is one of my favorite parts. Not only are they both super cute/adorkable, but they care about each other SO MUCH and it HEALS me to see them showing that.

There’s just so much good and while it frustrates me a lot due to the wasted potential I just can’t hate it, y’know? Not when there’s so many good parts to come back to.
