Bad news, My Hero Academia fans! The series we love for its awesome characters and dark twists is ending. Remember the hype after Deku’s fight with Shigaraki in season 6? Fans hoped for more, but the creator confirmed the manga is in its final act. We’ll find out what this means for the story and what creator Kohei Horikoshi has to say about it.
My Hero Academia is Saying Goodbye!
My Hero Academia has been a massive hit manga for the past decade! Created by Kohei Horikoshi, it’s become a top seller and a favorite on the Manga Plus app. The awesome anime adaptation by Bones that started in 2016 only boosted its popularity.
For a while now, fans have been wondering when the manga would end. Back in 2021, Horikoshi himself hinted in an interview that it was nearing its conclusion. The story officially entered its “Final Act Saga” with three arcs, and the final one – the Final War Arc – wrapped up in Chapter 423. Now, Chapter 424 and beyond seem to be an epilogue before the final curtain closes on My Hero Academia.
Counting Down to the End of My Hero Academia
Get ready to say goodbye! My Hero Academia is officially ending on August 5th, 2024 with Chapter 430. Shonen Jump spilled the beans in June, letting us know there were only five chapters left. Creator Kohei Horikoshi even chimed in with a message of his own.
How Does My Hero Academia Wrap Up?
Why My Hero Academia ends is still a mystery, but fans should be hopeful it ends. Deku took out the villain All For One but lost his own power in the process. Shigaraki, the other main antagonist, found peace before dying.
The biggest question is Deku’s future. Can he acquire his Quirk and turn into the next Symbol of Peace or will he simply figure out yet another way to be a hero? Fans are hoping for the first, but only the story’s final chapters will reveal Deku’s fate.
Conclusion
My Hero Academia’s ending is near! Expect Deku, All Might, and the rest of your heroes to wave goodbye while the ending is still to be determined, but the franchise’s formula has always been one of hope and dreams. A few lingering questions remain though – particularly Deku’s future after losing his Quirk – but those will be resolved in the final chapters. Whether he gains his power or even discovers a new way to be a hero, one thing is sure: he will never be exactly the same. The legacy My Hero Academia leaves behind of encouraging fans to chase their dreams will not end with the last page turned.
