Why I can't accept the BNHA epilogue. (Spoilers!!!)

[I will probably edit this later]

Before I start, I'm a BKDK shipper, and I truly believe their relationship is the most important in all of BNHA. I have my own opinions, so I don't want any Izu///Ocha shippers here, because I don't want to argue with you. If you don't agree with something, don't be mean.

I'm saying many points in one long post, so I apologize if I somehow lost my thoughts in the process. Sorry for mistakes too.

1. Short summary of the ending

With the recent leaks out, I can't just sit around and pretend that nothing happened. We all know that the ending of MHA was off. It wasn't what we wanted, and I dare to say that it isn't what Horikoshi wanted either. The question is, why would someone writing manga for 10 years end his own work this way?

Let's start with the chapter 430. We got the timeskip, and everything ended neutral for all characters (relationship wise). It wasn't the best ending, we still lost characters that clearly should have stayed alive. Shigaraki, Toga and Dabi are gone. The only characters who will probably remember them are Spinner and Compress, while Spinner is in a hospital and Compress in a jail. Why? Was it necessary to kill the characters who needed saving the most? Throughout the whole manga, we are reminded that we can't save everyone, but we should try anyway. That's why we are left with the reasoning "at least their hearts were saved".

Okay, so what now? How will the society move on? Will they realize their mistakes? The hero ranking system is surely gone now, right?

That would be an option if it wasn't for the newest chapter. Hero ranking system still exists. So what changed? Heroes won the war, so why didn't we get ANYTHING regarding how the system changed?

Let's talk about the newest chapter. Personally, I see this chapter as something that totally changes the whole manga. It's the final chapter, we should get the missing pieces for this whole ending to make sense! Instead we got something completely unrelated to the story, and on top of it all, hints at the MC being in love with the female lead. After 430 chapters. Yes, they could have a nice relationship, but it's too late to start in the final chapter. It just erases everything that happened so far, and especially their own characters.

2. Ochako and Toga

Ochako is a character who loves seeing smiles and happy people. She wanted to help her parents with money. Then, she fell in love with Deku. Later, she meets Himiko, a queer girl, who loves talking about love. They fight, and Himiko decides to give blood to the girl she loves. Blood is equal to LOVE in her eyes, and Ochako knows it. The fact that Toga died still doesn't sit right with me, but I'll talk about something else now.

Eight years later, Ochako still sees her ghost. What does Himiko want to tell her, exactly? Next thing we see is Himiko pushing Ochako to Deku. Using a dead character to get two other characters together is...definitely something. Toga died, and this was her role in the story? Really? Why don't we see Ochako working as a hero instead? Helping children like Himiko? Himiko deserved to see that. Ochako has a nice personality, but it just goes back to Deku over and over again. The newest chapter proves that nothing changed.

3. Izuku and Katsuki throughout the manga

Moving on to my favorite character, Izuku. We know that Izuku never says anything he's really thinking. This started when he unlocked Blackwhip. Monoma insulting Katsuki WAS the reason for it. And when All Might asks about it (with Katsuki sitting there too), Izuku says he doesn't know.

From this point, we know literally NOTHING about what Izuku is thinking. Throughout the whole vigilante arc to the end of the war. Nothing that would really stand out as the MC saying his inner thoughts.

During Katsuki's apology, he asks if Izuku remembers what Katsuki said before, and Izuku doesn't know again. (Trauma can lead to forgetting things, which I also think is the case here.)

Now, Izuku knows he has to control his heart (words he got from Banjo). We see these lines appear when Izuku is losing control, and when seeing dead Katsuki. And it happened before, when Monoma insulted him. Control your heart = Katsuki. It's sad we don't see anything about this later in the manga too.

Izuku got saved by Katsuki THREE times (when stabbed, during vigilante arc and in the war). Izuku never comments on this. However, he has to realize it's because of him.

And that's when I get back to his own thoughts. We don't know much about what he truly FEELS. I stand by the point that Izuku is unreliable narrator, because he is writing this story.

Another point I want to make is about Katsuki's death. We don't see any comments on it from anyone. He died, so why aren't people talking about it for god's sake? The hospital scene with Izuku was truly good, I liked how they talked about it, BUT Izuku is now dealing with another problem, and that is the death of Tenko.

4. More about Izuku and Ochako

Later, he meets Spinner. We learn that Shigaraki was his hero, who Izuku killed, even though he tried to save him. He admits that he could even be called a murderer. Spinner plans to write a book about the league, but is that it? Is that really it?

When Izuku meets Ochako at the cliff, he calls her "my hero". Ochako was previously having a breakdown about Himiko, and now Izuku comes and praises her for what she has done for him. When hearing him, Ochako returns immediately to talking about Himiko. That's when they hold hands and the class comes in too. The only person to check on Izuku is KATSUKI. The point I'm trying to make is that Izuku suffers from the some outcome as Ochako, they both didn't save a person who needed it the most. But Izuku is the one giving comfort again, while completely ignoring his own feelings and deciding to help someone else instead. He didn't say anything during the epilogue regarding his feelings, which is not right, as he is the MC after all!

Time passes, and Izuku becomes a teacher. As we learn later, he would become a teacher even if he still had OFA. BUT!! Katsuki made him a new suit, making his dream come true!! Katsuki never gave up on Izuku and Izuku can now be a hero again!

5. Hands

Katsuki's and Izuku's relationship is about reaching your hand. Izuku reached his hand to Katsuki first, and he refused. Now, we see Katsuki reaching his hand to Izuku. But do we though? I think everyone expected to see them holding hands at least ONCE. Which we did, but it wasn't really a closing point for their relationship. Throughout the whole manga, we are waiting for this moment. Wee see Kirishima reaching out to Katsuki, and Iida reaching out to Izuku. These both moments happened because Izuku and Katsuki couldn't be the one reaching their hand. We've been waiting for their handhold for FOREVER and we didn't get it.

6. Character writing

Now back to Izuku's character. Why does he feel so empty in the recent chapters? The writing is off. Very off. Izuku has always admired Katsuki. He's his best friend, and when Katsuki gave him the suit, we would expect the new chapter to be about THIS. Instead we got Izuku refusing Katsuki's offer for the agency and him talking to Ochako again. Izuku has always admired Katsuki. The whole manga is about how even though All Might was the great hero in his eyes, Katsuki was the person actually in his life! The Izuku we know wouldn't be so heartless about it. He would talk about Katsuki's new car, he would comment on the card, and he would praise him when they meet again as heroes! This is so out of character to me and I think other people feel it too. The only explanation left is that Izuku is still fighting his own feelings and is still really hurting. Katsuki being low in the ranks is also not right, as being number one has always been his goal.

That's when I get to the Shonen Jump problem. BNHA ended WITHOUT any ships confirmed. Which was great! Everyone could do whatever they wanted! That was the end of the manga, but the new chapter comes in. It feels like it wasn't meant to be there at all. Why confirm ships after the manga ends? What does it add to the story? The ship didn't get any development at all, so why now? We know that there have been some changes in Shonen Jump editors, and I have strong feeling that these two points are connected.

Sadly, it isn't uncommon for two characters to end up together without any development in Shonen Jump. I'd like to use Demon slayer as an example (spoilers!!->). Tanjiro ends up with Kanao, they had some nice moments, but nothing really outstanding happens. Inosuke ends up with Aoi. We see this at the end of the manga, and not many people would expect this outcome. (<- I genuinely think that this ending is still a good one tho.)

But when I look at Izuku and Ochako, they are really alike. They both had their own villain, and they both wanted to save them. However, they both fail and try to move on. I don't think that the story should end with them in a romantic relationship, I really don't.

That's why I can say that this wasn't what Horikoshi had in mind for the ending. And I have many problems with the quality of the new chapter too.

7. Errors

1. The panels. Horikoshi has been doing this for 10 years, and suddenly, it doesn't look like his style. Everything feels really cramped. There are no sound effects, which is also really typical for his panelling.

2. The background. It's blurry and it feels unfinished (the city scenes).

3. Ochako uses all of her fingers. Her quirk did evolve, but she NEVER uses all of her fingers when holding something. Horikoshi pays attention to detail, and this is something that he would remember.

4. Izuku's scar. Hori shaved his head off and the design changed. Why is the scar missing in some panels??

5. There is more to it, like the suitcase looking different in different panels, or weird hand angles.

I'm not saying it's AI at all! It just doesn't sit right with me.

8. The end

And now, the handhold. Horikoshi says hands are the most expressive part of the body. So, what did this handhold mean? It doesn't feel romantic at all. We see hands often in MHA, and there are plenty of examples that feel way more tender than this one. It just doesn't make any sense to end the chapter this way, and expect it to be romantic.

What pains me the most is that it was so unnecessary to show us Katsuki being so...sad. He didn't smile once in the entire chapter, but he's smiling in 430. We have no idea what he'll do now, so why end the chapter like this? It doesn't make sense at all. Another thing I didn't like was Katsuki calling Izuku "Deku" (it was safe to assume he only calls him Deku while doing hero work) + we don't see All Might at all.

I definitely didn't say everything I wanted to say, but that's it for now. My heart is breaking, because I love My hero academia so much. I will definitely write more later, because I can't believe that this is what we got.

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

[corsairspade]

there are many reasons I like the "Erestor son of Caranthir" headcanon but secretly the main one is that I'm imagining all of the remaining noldo auditors sighing of relief when Caranthir dies and they don't have to try play 4d chess with multiverse time travel trying to catch this guy doing tax evasion. life is good for exilic auditors now.

and then suddenly Elrond and Elros turn up again! even better! oh who's this, Elrond? your good friend Erestor? he's helping you with your taxes? oh how swe- what is this Elrond. What is this. your paperwork for your taxes you say. not a declaration of war? because it looks like a declaration of war on the exilic auditors, Elrond.

and then all the auditors are so busy doing "extreme tax auditing™" for the first time since the second Kinslaying that they don't tell anyone they're pretty sure there's another scion of the house of Fëanor running around.

I've seen a lot of different takes on Fear Toxin/other fear causing stuff (Yellow Lanterns Ring or something)(later just called Fear Toxin cause I'm lazy) but here is another one.

Danny seems like he isn't affected by Fear Toxin because his biggest fear is that his accident changed him so much he is no longer human, he can no longer truly experience human things.

So when he gets lungful of fear Toxin, he feels normal. He was antsy before, because c'mon, it's a rogue attack but it's not worse. Or so he thought. Because the anxiety lingers. Not enough to register as abnormal just this slight hypervigilance that makes you see things about yourself and your surroundings that you'd never realize otherwise. He'd realize he doesn't blink as often. He'd realize that if he doesn't consciously focus, he sometimes seems to not touch the ground. Forgets to breathe. He can't feel his own pulse at time. He'd realize people will miss him when he's walking down the street as if he was invisible (people just don't care about everyone they pass by). When he'd look straight into his reflection, he'd look slightly to the left. Not enough to actually name anything that was wrong but just stretched enough to fall on the wrong side of the uncanny valley. If he just caught his reflection in the peripheral vision, it'd be vaguely shadowy creature with glowing green eyes and white smoke instead of hair. Overall he'd be just wrong enough to be distinctly not human.

For everyone else, he'd be just a dude. Literally couldn't find more normal dude than this dude. Will pass as absolutely normal human unless someone is specifically looking for ecto-ghost stuff. Even most magic users wouldn't clock him at the glance

Tldr: Fear Toxin makes Danny perceive himself as some sort of eldritch horror but not enough to make him believe he'd actually be affected, while from outside perspective he's Just A Dude™
