It Happened!! 😊 My Hero Academia: Chapter 431 Reaction & Discussion

[@gr8atness]

High key, MHA has officially solidified itself as a top 10 shonen series, if not top 5. It has its flaws, but every piece of media does. Can’t wait to watch your reactions to Season 8, Mighty.❤️🔥

[@t.j.1584]

Agreed, this ending as well does just that for me. Especially with how much I’ve heard other manga/shounen endings usually aren’t so good or satisfying. Seeing how MHA turned out from beginning to end, I’d say it’s smartly written especially for a weakly series with some pretty good positive themes and messages for the overall story. Now of course it certainly has its flaws and there are some things that were done that I have issue with, but overall MHA has many great things about it that I think certainly earns and solidifies its place as a top 10, if not top 5 shounen series. It definitely doesn’t deserve the hate and slander it gets, I’d say give it some time and I think MHA will start getting a whole lot more appreciation as the years go by. Kinda like what I heard happened to Bleach.

[@al_alemania]

THAT'S IT FOLKS MHA HAS CONCLUDED!!! Horikoshi cooked so hard in this epilogue chapter, from Deku's character writing where we're getting insight into his mind and him making more independent choices, to learning about what everyone is doing like Ochako with quirk counseling, Deku teaching etc. Shoto being so happy in life, and finally to Deku and Ochako coming together!!! Glad I got to experience this amazing series alongside you Mighty!!! 9/10!!!

If you haven't noticed. The chapter's title "More" isn't because it is more MHA. But because Deku and Ochako want to see each other more

[@justcrap3703]

The chapter title is "MORE" because Horikoshi knows that the shippers will cry MORE 😂

[@Kaempfdog]

Izuku and Ochako are conclusively getting together! Thank GOD. If I have to see one more piece of fanart of people trying their ABSOLUTE HARDEST to show Izuku has the most miserable life possible I’m going to throw up. That “Deku working at McDonald’s while everyone ditches him for a decade” art INFURIATED ME. People just try SO HARD to put down the guy for no reason and say he’s just a crybaby, and then when they see him in the worst emotional health of his life they say THAT is what they want him to be without taking a moment to realize what his arc is even about. And are UPSET when he’s stopped. And when he reaches the peak of his accomplishment and stands tall they just knock him right down again. I just…don’t know how to deal with people being so insufferable to my boy. So thank you Horikoshi. Thank you for showing people he is deserving of happiness and has lived fulfilled and will only live a more fulfilling life going forward even without his god power. He’s not and has never been alone and he wins over the girl that has been head over heels for him and vice versa. Shut down the other interpretations because they belong together. His class will spend any price to get him field active again because he’s the one who made their class a family. They would never leave him behind. And will stick together. THAT is the Class A we know and was built from season…let’s say season 3 was when they truly became a family. The camp arc. Stain was the start, camp was when they got convinced. Horikoshi doesn’t like happy endings but has decided it’s needed this time.

[@t.j.1584]

Straight facts, my G.O.A.T beat all the allegations including his friends. Now all the false misconceptions about Deku, class A and the ending of this series overall can be put in a grave and never talked about again. I’ll never understand why some people were so hellbent on putting a character like Deku down the way they did, but I’m glad this final chapter came out and put all those allegations to rest. I’d also like to thank Horokoshi for giving us a more satisfying and happy ending this series deserved.

[@Kaempfdog]

@@t.j.1584it’s why when I analyze I try my absolute hardest to show Izuku’s perspective. I will not let my boy be sidelined. He deserves the world and he fought for it and earned it.

@@t.j.1584it was never allegations they just can’t read

[@t.j.1584]

HoriGOATshi really came back, said “aight, I got one more left in me” and proceeded to cook up a way more satisfying ending for MHA in the best way possible! We actually get to see the timeskip designs of a lot of characters and we get to know what all of them are up to in life. Lemillion ended up becoming a fine hero in a bright future for society, we get to see all the rankings for all the characters we’ve come to know through out the series. We get to see the former Class A interact as adults. Shoto’s at a point where he’s so happy in his life and this might be the most he’s smiled in the entire series. Bakugou got his All Might card signed. Midoryia beat all of the allegations and we get more insight on how he loves being a teacher making an impact towards the youth while being able to spend time with his friends in and out of hero work. We get to see more of the impact Toga had on Uraraka and how her quirk counseling program works continuing to help others and now after 10 whole years, Deku and Uraraka finally got together. Honestly, this is not just a really good ending for this series but also the perfect ending for this series, and this new chapter has given me everything I felt was missing from the original ending and more, and it’s made this series ending all the more satisfying for it. This chapter has given us a better send off to all the characters we’ve come to know and love officially closing their journeys. I personally couldn’t ask for a better ending to this series which I love very much. I’m glad to have been able to experience this amazing series during its serialization and I’m glad to have followed this series along with ya Mighty!!! Overall with this new ending, MHA as a whole is a good 9/10 in my book.

[@JackAglet]

This was such an amazing conclusion to MHA and Izuocha is canon so I’m really happy about that

[@t.j.1584]

@@JackAglet Same, this ending is such a good one that MHA deserves. Once Izuocha, or the other ship name which I think roles off the tongue better Ochaku, became canon I started hysterically laughing like All Might when he fought AFO in the final arc. Cause not only am I happy for my GOATS Izuku and Ochaco getting the ending they both deserve, but just thinking about how the toxic shippers would react to this news would be priceless.

[@carlosesquivel5103]

At least we still have Season 8 to look forward to. 431 will always be special to me

[@bmac9936]

It isn’t that Horikoshi tied up loose ends. It’s that he expanded the directions of his characters for us. 430 was a good ending but this brings us into a place of comfort, at least for me. It also hints at what Horikoshi could have done with the story if he had the time and opportunity. Really enjoyed seeing and reading the panels along with you again.

[@goddessyamato5238]

Hopefully season 8 brings a movie

[@al_alemania]

There's 60 extra pages for this volume. 38 will be going to chapter 431 and the rest to the other chapters, extras, q&a's, character profiles etc.

[@t.j.1584]

Oh that’s cool, I hope one of those extras is info on Deku’s armored suit and what it can do. I really wanna know what his suit can do.

What a perfect ending man, I already enjoyed the series finale before, but this extra chapter really felt like it rounded off all of our beloved character's journeys with love. I'm gonna miss these reactions ngl, but at least we still got the final season for the anime coming next year with that said, I can now confidently declare this as one of my favorite series endings of all time. Thank you Horikoshi, and thank you Mighty for all the wonderful reactions over the years, it'll be an experience I'll never forget ❤

[@merttepe8988]

This is what we wanted to feel complete and Horikoshi said here you go. Its nice to see your reaction!

[@DetroitSmash]

*It’s amazing what Uraraka is doing for all of these people. She’s a great hero. I’m also happy that the amount of villains has been going down. More people like Shigaraki, Toga, Touya, and Spinner are getting the help that they need and deserve sooner. It’s also great to see how much Todoroki has healed. Just… this all made me very happy. I’m a little sad that this is all over now, but this journey was beyond an unforgettable one…*

[@thaumaturgeslit7759]

430 was a good ending, but adding an epilogue was a great move. I was unable to find the chapter, so I will watch this video once ai can find it and watch it

[@NioDraws]

[@JackAglet]

I absolutely loved this chapter. This was a 10/10 chapter for me probably one of my favorite chapters in the whole series. I love MHA so much and this has definitely become one of my favorite Shonen series ever. Thank you Horikoshi for wrapping up this epilogue in a satisfying way. The Goat 🐐

I really wanted to see Deku's suit in action, but what I'll focus on is the fact that we finally know the billboard charts.

[@t.j.1584]

Yeah, that’s literally the only thing I’d want to be added into these extra pages. Maybe just like an extra page or two showing us Deku stopping the stolen car himself with ease. Hopefully we get some author notes on the suit so we can have an idea of what it can do.

[@etsap1236]

I'm so happy! This made the ending so much better. The ending was great already, but this was just perfect. The only thing I would change is Bakugous hero ranking but then again this is still early in their hero careers so who knows where they will all be in the future.😆

[@Nick-tz3ke]

Yea i love they potray Izuocha here. Not too romantically like you said "kiss" or something. Just plain old high school crush hold hands. And it's more like a partner handshake than holding hands for me lmao. It's actually in their character for how awkward they are.

[@zimzalabim5633]

[@weareyugioh4138]

I have been wanting for you to review this

[@MrEdit-ic7th]

What an amazing final chapter. It really elevates the previous one and makes it much more satisfying and complete. Izuku and Ochaco ending things this way feels so right, especially with words of encouragement from their friends and former archenemies being what pushes them together. My biggest gripe with the original ending still wasn't addressed, that being the disappointing brevity of Shigaraki's conclusion, but otherwise this was all perfect. We've still got the anime, but this has been a hell of a ride and watching your videos has been such an integral part of it.

[@Mdmarki]

THIS CHAPTER ELEVATED EVEN MORE THE END OF THE STORY FOR ME

[@Brendangatenby-mg2ix]

It's good to be back after the last ch dropping feeling like forever ago now even though it has been around 5 months 😂😂 So Ch 430 left me with mixed feelings but Ch 431 has improved a lot of my complaints I was hoping we get the hero ranking so I was glad horikoshi incorporated them into the story The time skip design and hero names are all fantastic I'm glad horikoshi added a scene with the entire class 1A since it feels like a long time we got to see a wholesome moment together Also, shoto being happy feels so good considering how rough his life started off It's nice seeing uraraka continue to help people like toga and getting to see how uraraka program works Yes, the costume in the case behind uraraka in her office, is her second suit (the one she fought toga in the final war) Kurihiro (vanta black) was confirmed to have a crush on kinko (mushroom girl) Bakugo getting his card sign feels so satisfying considering that he always admired all might and now he got the signature like he always wanted Also bakugo driving a car, oh god imagine his road rage especially when his mother is in the car with him😂😂 Deku's ending feels a lot better now that it clears up that deku wasn't forgotten by the public and him given lectures at school meaning he gets to pass on his wisdom to the next generation Also, the suit up panel with his class looks badass, I have a few ideas on how the suit could work

[@Brendangatenby-mg2ix]

My idea for how the iron deku suit mark I works: (a list for each part of the suit starting head down to feet) head: - fully retractable cowl with inbuilt air filter system with a Oxygen mask inside for high altitude flights - autopilot in case deku gets knocked out - ai system named s.h.i.n.o.m.o.r.i which mimicks danger sense - the bunny ears have inbuilt antennas to pick up radio signals and can tune into satellites frequencies as well body: - entire suits made of multiple plates so if one gets damaged it will shed that plate and replace with a new one - if deku breaks a bone then the suit will deploy an fast hardening gel inside the designated area which will dry to keep the bone straight -the suit builds up kinetic energy which he can release which simulates fa jin or can be used to to recharge the suit, alternatively the suit has solar panel to recharge his suit - the suit is coated in a special paint which protects from extreme temperatures and elemental attacks and is bulletproof plus is resistant to interia and high hypersonic speeds arms: - the repulser on the hands can fire off energy blasts or alternate to sonic based attacks which can be amplified by the metal plates on the wrist which fold out to form air force gauntlets - metal cables can shoot from under the wrist to restain criminals or to web swing which simulates black whip Feet: -the feet have jet replusers so deku can fly and can make deku reach high hyper sonic speeds simulating float -the boots have small holes in which release purple smoke to simulate smoke screen -the boots have rubber soles for stealth and springs to allow deku to jump long distance and soften his blow when he lands I think the ending left open ending means we could get a sequel down the line in about 4 years (i want horikoshi to take a long break to not over tax himself)

[@GoatLuffy_97]

I was satisfied with the epilogue of MHA and chapter 430, but I'm not one to complain about new content. I loved the ending of Haikyuu, for example, but the extra content we've had from Furudate in the years since is always awesome. This new final chapter of MHA is wonderful. I love the artwork as I always do, but to see Horokoshi's level of artwork when he's not in the week to week hell that is WSJ is amazing. If he ever did a biweekly or monthly manga in the future, I may pass out from peak artwork 😂 I never cared about shipping in MHA, but it was cute to see Deku and Uraraka going steady now, perhaps. I already knew that parts of the fandom had a meltdown. I don't miss that stuff at all. Seeing class 1-A together and all the conversations were so good. Seeing so many heroes we all know and love was amazing, too. Overall, I really loved this chapter, and I look forward to reading it officially when it drops. Plus, I can't wait for Bones to cook with this final season, hopefully in 2025.

[@bmac9936]

Still picking through the chapter. “Parasite” is a famously creepy and disturbing horror manga that I’m sure Horikoshi and Bakugo would be familiar with. The two former class B students dating is perfect since mushrooms grow in the dark. I’m happy for the smiles on Shoto’s face and that Shoji no longer wears a mask and is ranked number 9. The backseat of Bakugo’s car makes me wonder if he doesn’t spend much of his time sleeping in it. (Looks super comfy.) Lemillion has to keep letting his hair grow out so he can get a new uniform.

[@HappyHundred]

Thanks for the reactions. It was an amazing journey with you. MHA became my favorite piece of media/literature since it helped me in a dark time of my life, similar to what happened to you. Im happy with this last chapter, it made the ending feel more complete. Yet I already miss it (again after the last "final" chapter). Looking forward to more of Horikoshis works and yours as well. Keep up the great work my friend and always GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA!!!!!

.... Dear, it's confirmed. They are in the beginning on seeing and exploring their relationship in new light, which is toward romantic relationship. Do you really need them to kiss and directly said i love you ,only then u can accept it's canon ? If Hori choose to make them do that, that's totally weird and out of character for them.

[@creativeendeavorsgalore]

I hear what you're saying but a relationship becoming canon doesn't mean that they have to confess and be affectionate immediately. A relationship being canon means that the two characters intend to start dating. Deku tells her that although he loves and respects everyone, he wants to spend more of his time talking with her. That she is special and takes priority over everyone else. Going out on a date involves a lot of talking to get to know each other. And after it being so long they have a lot to learn. Whatever ship you were hoping to see, its okay to still be interested in it. This story is finished, though. Horikoshi has put the phrase The End twice in these last chapters, so we all need to respect that this is the final result.
