Idk man… I think what gets me is the weight of this chapter. 430 had a bittersweetness to it but this feels doubled. Perhaps because this is very likely the last time we’ll see these characters but the send off in this extra chapter feels so quiet and melancholy…

#mha #mha final volume #mha 431 #I appreciate the openness of 430 so much more #this extra is essential IT and was a glance at all the characters one last time (most who didn’t appear in 430)#but it’s sad not to see Toshi #it’s sad to see Izuku and Ochako haunted by Tomura and Toga 8 years later #yes the end has them moving forward but then you have Bakugou #remove romantic reading it’s still very clear that he’s meant to be read as disappointed this chapter #will they really be competing? Izuku’s more or less a part time hero #Deku’s back in the field but not in the way Bakugou obviously hoped for #those final panels of him watching izuku disappear into the crowd like Hori why #this is so depressing #I get the intent of seeing that heroes are less needed and that the characters are learning who they are beyond hero work #but we don’t get much of a hint of Bakugou doing that #we leave him with this feeling of melancholy that he’s been left behind #it’s too late #Izuku says he probably would’ve always been a teacher which I think is great!#but just… it feels even more bittersweet #izuku offhandedly tells bakugou to be a guest teacher more often which is a nice detail #but actually seeing that would have been more hopeful and happy #from the start of the chapter with Ochako’s dream the whole vibe is just so…sad #so final #and like I LIKE izuku and ochako I think they’re sweet and cute #but I will always prefer the platonic relationships first #like their scene is tasteful and cute with them both saying essential “I want to spend more time with you’#but it comes after and with this utter weight of finality #I just idk man I don’t want *this* to be the end but it is and it’s just really saddening #I’d say I’d want more something to break this melancholy but I don’t know if my heart can take anymore if it’s anything like this chapter
