I like how in the end society just got a band aid on it and everything is okay

>Quirk discrimination still exists
>People still become heroes for fame and money
>The League of Villains has a manifesto out that surely won't cause anything bad in the future
>Its now possible that rich people will be getting iron man suits to simulate having superpowers

Deku is a fucking failure, he can't even accomplish his goals and peaked in High School

Gentle and La Brava were the real winners of MHA

What're the odds of a made for anime ending? From what I hear, its pretty disappointing.

0, usually when an anime changes the source material's ending, its because the manga ending is so dogshit that everyone agrees its bad or the author actively tries to change it.

MHA is a strange case where the anime has actively harmed the writing of the manga with Horikoshi constantly trying to incorporate crap from the movies to get people to watch them and for cheap references, and how he writes chapters sometimes thinking of when they'll put the anime hype music.

The most the anime will do is add anime original scenes for characters not seen in the ending.

How fucking hard it is to make a good shonen ending? Even if you want to have it bittersweet at least have some compromise with the protagonist goals, instead MHA is full on downer.

The bittersweet feeling came out of nowhere too, most of the final war arc had the most disney shit possible with the heroes having the thickest plot armor in any final arc, and then Horikoshi decided to try to make things realistic after 100s of chapters of extreme idealism.

It comes across as comically hilarious having things like random american jet pilots being blown up by All For One only to later have their deaths retconned by All Might inserting Ejector seats, Dabi and Endeavor being crippled for life while Endeavor's sidekicks who were burned in 3000 degree heat somehow surviving with light scratches, or Ochako feeling guilty about Toga dying to a blood transfusion in the same chapter where a hero became a tiny worm man due to giving Bakugo open heart surgery with string and a bubble.

Hell half of the epilogue arc has mostly been goofy class antics and gags.

Like I am fine with an ending being a downer or being bittersweet, but the tone of MHA has mostly been overwhelmingly idealistic, it comes across as Horikoshi writing the ending by the seat of his pants.
 
I dropped this back in 2018 during that whole Class 1-A/Class 1-B 1v1 training arc (the one where Shinzo was reintroduced). From there, I just heard there was highs and lows, highs and lows, highs and lows, but never felt interested in catching up again (I caught up and enjoyed Black Clover more during COVID, honestly).

Back to MHA, I see a little cool things here and there, but I've moved on. Then, I hear about the final stretch—the bad haircut, for starters, and it's just a series of whys.
The most glaring to me has to be that Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki are the big 3 (Hori literally wrote "[Their full names]: Origin"), and 1A as a whole gets glory as the "greatest heroes?" Our relationships and journeys as readers with the characters aside, those kids were jobbers and hypepeople, or a decade's worth of fapbait. I went into the anime binging in 2017 thinking those three guys are going to be on top come end of series, but nope!

On the whole "greatest heroes" thing too. I get it, no media Illiteracy here; the "greatest hero" thing wasn't about being number 1, but rather, Deku making such an impact on the heroing world with his feats that his heroism is unsurpassable and forever a shining source of inspiration. I can get it if Bakugo and Todoroki stood beside Midoriya as statues also, but again, it's whole damn class... As for my personal peeve, Deku should have been the #1 and unsurpassable, finally reaching the ultimate conclusion of his underdog story, but no he's forever the underdog facing constant adversity in Horikoshi's eyes. "Broke, quirkless, and bitchless" is the new funny meme, but as much as I laugh at it, it's a gut punch seeing the slop Hori dished out.

All Horikoshi had to do was work his way towards Deku inevitably having his older face on a copy-paste of prime All Might's body. The super suit is a good concept, but it really should've gotten passed down to a successor, a la Make-A-Wish. Deku, from Day 1, has a high IQ and a penchant for recording info on Heroes and study them—he could've collaborated with every inventor he knew and acquainted himself with eventually build a whole exclusive line of these things with certain quirks built-in, and the nod would come once his successor gains traction, ranking, and good press. It would be a solid endgame.

As for the shipping shit. Based Hori, I guess, for sticking it to the fujoshis and depriving them of their inane 2D fantasies, and absolutely cucked for Hori to surrender to the weirdos by not even doing the most obvious pairing justice. Every scene between Midoriya and Uraraka was all leading up to her wearing Deku's accessory in her adult hero uniform. That's ti! Just like "broke, quirkless, and bitchless," this lack of closure on their relationship had people joking that the NTR doujinkas were rubbing their hands together seeing that that was the case—as if Uraraka bailed on Midori once he lost his quirk lmao.

All and all, poor Deku. The only real winner is Mirio. Black Clover will save the industry.

*This is nearly half a decade old, & needs a remaster for how better CHADsta became. He's literally the Shonen equivalent of Zyzz.

But seriously, I'm more excited for the once in a 3 months manga now than I am for reading the final chapter of this series, or even watching the newest episode of the current season (I legitimately see it in 2.0x speed, it makes the fight actually better that way).
 
Now that Izuku has an Iron Man suit, I'm expecting a sequel series to be announced, starring either Class 1-A as full-fledged heroes, or they'll mentor a new class of kid hero wannabes. Izuku still won't end up with Ochako though, and will just get cucked by Bakugo
 
Its absolutely hilarious how broken up Deku is after the series. Because the way it played out, he sees being Quirkless as being a failure. This is unironically the best time for him to meet Knuckleduster. Guy is quirkless but still kicks ass.

Though I'm not sure Hori is going to handle him correctly. Or any of the vigs at all.

When has a mangaka who started their manga with a "and here is how I got here..." spiel that didn't end the manga completely forgetting it and ending with something else entirely?

You got me there

But like, cmon, why cuck the entire thing to begin with

No chance in hell. Besides anime adaptations almost never changing the ending to Shonen source material in this day and age, its not an ending so terrible it needed to be changed.

Don't get me wrong, its still a bad ending, but really its just a continuation of last several BAD arcs that led up to it. So you would have to radically change those arcs, which are already in the anime, to change the ending.

Eh, theres a few anime exclusive endings its just they are usually shunned. But with the way this shit ended, makes me not even wanna finish watching the anime. I knew it would be power of friendship, but jesus so much shit is just beyond retarded.

I came here once I heard the manga was over and wanted to see how they ended Izuku's story as a badass #1 hero, only to read he got the Captain Tsubasa 2002 treatment.

I'm so glad I dropped this trash after the school games arc.

I dropped MHA a couple chapters after the first fight between AFO and All Might, and for what i've reading since last year, it seems i haven't missed on anything worth reading. Seriously it seems MHA just got popular thanks to timing, it came out shortly after Attack on Titan popularized anime worldwide, and the MCU was still going strong, so a manga/anime about capeshit with decent art was going to be successful no matter what. Something tells me MHA isn't going to age particularly well, specially if capeshit stops being popular in the next few years.

129 was strange. It’s spends all this to on Deku and Uraraka only to then bring up that OFA is fine and okay and then seemingl cut to completely different events.

The final panels are real confusing. It’s like the author forgot where he was.

Then 130 comes along and Deku is like ‘not really seen friends in years, am sad’ when being a hero in this world is a 9-5 job and most of his regular friend group seemingly work together. And support items for heroes exsisted before even Deku started his journey. So he could easily still be in the aiction, near his friends.

But no OFA is gone, despite Deku saying it’s still there and complete last chapter. Guess it went sometime inbetween? So we don’t even get to see why he loses it. Lmao.

Regardless, it’s still a 9-5 job and everyone would likely drop everything the second Deku sent so much as text about being lonely.

There was an entire fucking arc sbout Deku’s friends punching his shit in because he did not tell them he was having issues or let them support him Uraraka bawling her goddam eyes our.

To say nothing of Chapter 429 just a week ago where Uraraka goes to break down and Deku is there within seconds. Which would have been a great last use of One For All considering how Deku went on about Uraraka being his hero.

And yet 430 ends with ‘i’m lonely cause i don’t see my friends’

Fucking lmao

Deku never had a real underdog story. Yeah he started weak, but literally on entering school he becomes the most popular guy with a orbiting girlfriend, also he gets to be in the top class and most of the conflict is him using techniques he isn't experienced enough to master. It's as underdog as an isekai anime.

The latter is highly likely as long as he still has some goodwill from the average normie readers. They'll have some new generation while the previous heroes will pop up for some arcs.

Yeah, I understand. Deku even had the best blood type against Stain lol.

However, Hori spamming Deku adversity after adversity just makes the clear facts of how many times he got over in the series so sigh-worthy. The many broken bones, the lasting damage to his body threatening his career, the many a time he got put down rhetorically just to have it emphasized physically; the plot silently telling us he's not ready yet. Hori literally took the boy's arms (just to cuck on that shit 1-2? chapters later). Almost forgot all the plot tears shed by Deku every time he's reassured, especially when he's been dwelling on his physical, emotional, and rhetorical ass whoopings throughout the story.

It just might be the feeling I get when I hear about Ichigo in early Bleach, but laced with Hori's kaizo gauntlet of incessant struggles, and reiterations of how weak Deku is for the new moment with expositioning of how hard his current struggles are in general.

did that ever try to show ichigo as an underdog?
the teenager who becomes a death god with a bigger than average sword as representative of his power?
the teenager who somehow overcomes actual ancient death gods who can supposedly destroy the world?
the teenager who is part jesus, part death god, part ghost demon, and part super human?
because if they did, i will laugh so fucking hard
