- Deku says he'd be a teacher even if he still had One for All (lol cope!)

If that were true he wouldn’t have jumped at the chance to use it in the original ending.

- Ochako is having visions of Toga (which given a fucking trading card has more durability than Ochako who required all of Toga's blood to even still be alive is embarrassing) which make her realize she should live for herself so it implies that she and Deku are going to be a thing as they hold hands in the end

I maintain she should have died and have Toga completely take on her likeness and life.

And if she is having flashbacks about living life that definitely feels like it would suit Toga more.

It is kind of understandable given how Weekly Shonen Jump is crunching their authors to the bone, but also how Horikoshi just overworks himself that he has to do this shit in volume releases.

Seeing how My hero had like 7 chapters purely to close the story up when most get a chapter at best and he managed to waste half of it, I'm calling bullshit and saying he's a fuckup.

Would have been too interesting. But yeah, Toga "stealing" Ochako's life and being tormented by it would have been a hell of an arc worthy of a spinoff.

Ochako on the other hand being obsessed with Toga is weird. Toga was always a crazy bitch in Ochako's eyes till the plot demanded they become besties in 5 minutes.

With Shonen manga authors, they usually pick a date for the series to end and the last 30+ chapters in MHA are like 15 pages or less, which is below the average standard of a shonen magazine along with getting a break every other week due to health reasons.

He's a fuckup certainly, but he does overwork himself despite other manga authors even telling him to take a long break.

Toga living in general would've probably been better, would've at least made that whole "save the villain spiel" that had been repeatedly said during the third act actually feel meaningful, but Toga died to set up a romance that is as interesting as boiled chicken.

Yeah. The idea of ‘dying too quick, no time to save me, if you really want to thank me, live the life I no longer can.’ So Toga’s desire to actually become someone else out of love and addoration comes full circle and is turned into a positive.

But not sure how much everyone would have been ok with that. Considering how frequently Hori got obvious backlash or forced to change things. Honestly feels like it was the intent originally.

Honestly feel the romance would have still worked if she lived. It eould have just meant OG Ochako would have died.

Yeah and MHA fans are shitting on other series like , JJK.

Its funny I think because MHA and JJK are like mirror polar opposites of one another.

In MHA, it takes 300 chapters for the plot to advance by a grain and with the glacial pacing everything blends toogether and nothing stands out, meanwhile JJK advances 300 chapters worth of plot per page, with the result being that the whole story feels like some kid high on meth recalling his favourite highlights resulting in a story completely devoid of substance because its skipped.

MHA is all point and no edge and JJK is all edge and no point.

Really torn on the trailer, it shows very little and likely knows it needs to capture fans of the current run of the show. However I do hope they keep the lighter side of Vigilantes too since that's a hefty part of the identity.

I didn't finish either because I got bored, so dunno if anything changed by the end, but I'll give the JJK author props for actually making his protagonist behave like a sane, functional human and realize that some people/creatures just need to be killed, unlike the MHA cuck making Deku cry bitch tears because he couldn't save a genuine sociopath that had killed and maimed thousands of innocents.

I feel like early 2010s 4chan would have added a FAGGOT caption in the Impact font.
Anyways, my take on the series: That mediocre ending took me out, I'm not finishing the anime because of it. Poor Deku waits 8 years to hold hands in a way that looks like a salute guys give each other. Lmao.
Something funny I had noticed on /a/'s discussion over the ending is this: An anon brought up how Yu Yu Hakusho had handled the love between Yusuke and Keiko much, much better, and in a way that kills the "oh, but romance isn't the main focus of the story" argument. You can still deliver a satisfying conclusion if you're not a hack writer. Unfortunately, Hori is a hack.

The funny part is that anon got confused.
If you really, really want a good defense of Hori, you could argue people are injecting their own jaded ideas into how they take the story.
This is aimed at teenagers, right? Obviously the story is going to have some very optimistic ideas. Like the idea of a heroic authorities not being corrupt at all. Or the idea that even people who made terrible decisions could be saved if we just listened to them, and understood that they were misguided, or didn't have a chance from the beginning.

Even that doesn't explain away the underwhelming writing, and the silly handling of Deku and Ochako. I can't fix the author being such a pussy he can't draw the main characters in a romance kissing. I may just read Yu Yu Hakusho again to make sure I didn't dream about Yusuke and Keiko kissing.

The second reply to that explains where anon got confused:
You did actually. The kiss was only in the anime and anime cuts several other parts out in exchange, and not just those odd little mini arcs after Three Kings but whole sections of the ending like Yusuke's biological father. Only with the manga and anime endings combined does Yu Yu Hakusho have a fully satisfying ending.

Imagine that, an anime where the people adapting the manga realized they could improve on how the romance was handled in the source material.

:stress:

Oh, and I really couldn't give a shit about what happened to Shiggy, Toga or Dabi as the story wrapped up. Toga really didn't sit well with me, didn't she literally murder tons of people early on? Why give her a sad backstory? I don't want to feel bad for that type of character. I'm done with attempts at redemption arcs in general.
 
Kinda funny how all these shonen anime take the internet by storm, even dragging in non-anime watchers like grifting onlythots on twitter, only to fall completely flat not a few months later. Granted, BNHA lasted a lot longer. CSM died with the end of part 1. I read it and I don't even recall the gun demon or whatever dying. It was that fucking non-chalant. I can't even remember the name of that blood demon girl anymore and the internet LOVED her.

At least BNHA ended. I can see it pick up steam in the future with more in-universe stories.

This really needs to be studied. I don't think we'll get anything with as much staying power as the Big 3 or dragonball ever again.
