I read the epilogue chapter, and yeah, there is A LOT of misinformation and it's definitely not that bad. My biggest issues with it is that it was framed really poorly, esp on Ochako's storyline, and it's something beyond shipping.

my biggest problem with the ending as a whole has remained pacing, and the lack of some scenes we all assumed would for sure be coming. I think this chapter is overall fine and follows (more or less) the expected route, but how small the entire epilogue was make it stick out weirdly.

#i for one think ochako's storyline could have been handled significantly worse and that for a canonization of a m/f pairing in the last #chapter it's like. largely okay. but again i was predicting “hey kacchan we called our children himiko and tenko will you be my best man”#so like #and maybe im settling? or maybe im just good at and really enjoy filling in the blanks?#there are things i genuinely did not like beyond the pacing but i just dont like shitting on a story i like so much and an author i like so #much like these things dont ruin anything for me and i understand if they do for others but i do actually like the canon we have #(even if im going to be writing a few fix its lmao)#the only thing is i do think katsuki and izuku should've maybe had another talk but thats within the realm of there clearly wasn't enough #time slash space #i think izuku refusing katsuki's place at his agency is like. fine. because its a way to show they're not too codependent or whatever which #fits that whole avoiding drama thing horikoshi said 431 does #in general i think every single choice horikoshi has made could've been received better and in general /been/ better if he had more space t #develop it #and i think the reason why im fine with all of it is because it doesn't bother me to fill in the gaps with whatever i want #ask//#by the way i think everyone should in fact remember that thing about 429 being the epilogue and 430 being the curtain call #not necessarily as a way to see 431 as non canon (if it makes you sleep better tho do that) but as a way to remember that the ending #that is clearly intended to be read as the real ending is 430. what with all the wrap around moments and the final words etc #just. 430 is the ending that is called my hero academia etc. to me 431 is exactly what it's called: more. canon #but not the ending. extras.
