#991270 Boku No Hero Academia
Posted by LuckyChi7 on 05 August 2024 - 09:30 PM in Otaku Square
It's honestly crazy to think that 10 years I kick started this thread, and seeing the discussions still be carried on too this day just makes me so incredibly happy with how engaged you guys all have been for all those years.. Even though, I might've dipped out a after a certain period of time, I never stopped reading the manga because of what this meant for me.
Having said that, Looking back on how I started that initial post... I do have one confession to make and it has got to be the biggest oversight on my part. That is this opening statement right here on November 20th 2014:
So for the past couple of days ever since Naruto ended, I've been trying to find a series to fill the void (aside from Bleach, Fairy Tail, and Attack on Titan). There needed to be a proper void to make things satisfying that it could take Naruto's place. So a couple weeks now, Ive came been keeping my eye on Weekly Shonen Jump's rankings, and I saw this manga get between #1 and 5 during those couple of weeks.
I had actually started My Hero Academia prior to making this thread, it was August 25th 2014 which was a little over 3 months before Naruto came to an end. A lot of my attention at the time was on Naruto as it was coming to an end so a lot of my personal investment was there, and My Hero Academia had fallen into the very back corner of my mind at the time especially around the conclusion of the Kaguya and leaning into the the Naruto vs Sasuke fight.
Then when it came to an end, Many of us were left in devestation and pure depression over what had transpired, and looking for that space to fill a void from what happened with Naruto. In fact I can even say that a lot of the other series I was into at the time I gave little to no importance especially for like newer shounen manga anime because of the legendary status Naruto had. Due to that, I subconsciously forgot about My Hero Academia in that 3 month time span because of Naruto, and factoring dealing with being in my first year in College too... Grades were another huge factor that i swallowed into to distract myself from what happened with Naruto.
Then comes the middle of November, I came across My Hero Academia without having realized that I had actually read it before which kinda shows how badly Naruto's ending had devastated me personally that I had forgotten even when I had originally My Hero at all.
It actually took me until The Dark Hero Arc where I really sat on the direction of the series and a lot of what Deku was going through at the time.... How he had distanced himself from everyone. Ironically, when I had my seizure for the first time back in May 2021 That was when I truly remembered where My own journey with this series happened before Naruto ended.
So I do deeply apologize for the confusion on this everyone, and it probably doesn't mean much to anyone, but.... It was just a realization I've had for a while, and I wanted to bring that to light as the guy who kick started this thread.
Now with that said, I can finally share my two cents.... Don't take this as review on whether the ending is good or bad.... Just tackling a few points that have been made..
Now that bring us to IzuOcha: This is obviously a no brainer and should be fairly obvious that throughout the story Kohei has been pushing towards IzuOcha since the beginning of the series. Remember, even in the Volume 1 for Ochako's Character notes he even points out "I plan to have her appear with Deku a lot, and it's crystal clear where he took each of their moments together in a way where they both got closer together especially throughout the course of The Final Act Saga during the Dark Hero Arc, and where they are looking over the city during the day and night where he personally hears out Ochako's pain and gives her the absolute comfort in the world. Even in the ending of the chapter where it ends with that panel where they both look at each other. Obviously it's not directly stated by any means, but the implications are easily there that something has blossomed between the two of them.
That also leads to the biggest elephant in the room which is that IzuOcha wasn't confirmed in the final chapter it is all up and there. Also before anyone says this because of what happened to Naruto an that being the reason.... Let me remind everyone that Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba had a similar situation like this between Tanjiro and Kanao, and we find out they got together and had a family even if it was shown through a photograph. So this rules out the whole Naruto is the sole reason we didn't get a confirmation for IzuOcha. You have to also remember Kohei Horikoshi's health wasn't in the best ever since 2018 his breaks gotten significantly longer and alot of that had to contribute to health issues.
Which brings me tot Final point I wanna address....
The Final Vol (42) page count: When the final chapter came out I did a total page count of all the last 8 chapters that compass a total of 126 pages. An average manga volume usually is 184 to 200+ pages at most.
Chapter 423 to Chapter 428 are 15 pages each.
15 x 6 = 90 pages
That's only the first 6 chapters (423-428) in the final Volume (42)
Chapter 429 = 17 pages
Chapter 430 = 20 pages
Those 2 final chapters = 37 pages
Now add the number of pages of these 8 last 8 chapters together....
90 pages (Chapters 423-428)
+ 37 pages (Chapters 429-430)
it's a total of 127 pages!
That is still roughly 60-80 pages to fill out the rest of the volume, and that means we are "potentially" in for additional content for these chapters and especially an expansion on the final chapter as well even a true solidification of IzuOcha being canon as a whole. The extra content can even lead to bonus material that happens even after the final page of Chapter 430.
Remember the final volume (42) comes out December 4th in Japan so we got a lot of time between now and then to see what Kohei presents to all of us for the manga of My Hero Academia to fill in.
Also I would like to point that Demon Slayer's final volume had a total of 39 extra pages. So be sure to keep that in mind!

Well...I could be reading it wrong but Iida did ask what were the two of them doing in that last panel and They were just smiling at each other. It could be interpreted as Platonic but I don't want to say for sure yet. I don't think My heart could take it if it ends up being just good friends with the manga about to finish :laughcry:NOT after That LAST BETRAYAL anyway (I hope that series REMAINS DEAD and is never defibrillates again
I totally get the sentiments there Phantom, and trust me the bridge had already burned for me twice once with Naruto and the other with AoT when it came to the romance subplot elements... The only exception I'm willing to make is if the mangaka has proven that he or she is capable with a well rounded compelling story with a good romance subplot from start to finish with their first series.
More so, whether the work made them famous or was financially successful makes no dfference <- big example being a series we all know too well.
That said, without diving too much into the contents of the chapter, I did like the IzuOcha moment in the penultimate but at the same time I do also think if it was entirely dedicate to them kind of similar to Eden's Zero Chapter 291 with Shiki and Rebecca's confirmation and by that I mean... no interruptions.
Though, I am still waiting to see what wet in the final chapter for the full confirmation.

Saw it, didn't realise that Lucy first outfit in 100 year quest is simalr to her first outfit in fairy tail
It's a really nice callback!
Of course we know that does eventually change as the story progresses much like the original series!

It's gonna be so close!!

And it turns out I was right. Tabata's new modus operandi is to produce two elongated chapters every four months.
I like that he is releasing the chapters on his own time instead of rushing throughout to get to the finish line!
So I honestly can't wait to see what comes about in the next two upcoming chapters :)
#991194 Whats your OTP now that NS was given the pipe?

Yeah, it was a beautiful ending, though I do feel bad that Shiki (Ziggy) missed the opportunity to have proper closure with his Rebecca (Chronophage). Not to mention the added tragedy of Ziggy being forced to kill their own son.
I do too, and totally agree with you on that Kago, it would be cool to see Ziggy get his sense of closure with the Chronophage!
Just happy that Hiro is still showing other shounen mangaka how it's done!

Hiro - The modern day king of shounen romance strikes gold once again with another couple!
Shicca (Shiki x Rebecca) - Edens Zero
6 Years of storytelling, and build up within the story with subtle romance that was core to the narrative of Eden's Zero ended with Shiki and Rebecca becoming a couple, and at the same time... THEY BECAME NEW PARENTS TO THEIR FIRST NEWBORN DAUGHTER!!
PS - I would show a picture of Shiki, Rebecca, and their baby however that wasn't shown in the magazine and some pages were definitely missing because other series also run in Weekly Shounen Magazine. Hiro will mostly showcase the missing pages with Shiki, Rebecca and their baby girl when the final volume comes out in August.

This anniversary Podcast was from last year, and it took a long while for me to have it up on the channel because I had been ill for a while especially from January to late march, and it wasn't until April that I was able to get to working on finishing it up especially while I was dealing with work and spending time with family and creative writing too.
That said here is 2023's Naruto Anniversary Podcast: Madara Uchiha - the Symbol of Fear
big thanks to @bluestarsaber, @NaruSakuFaninKentucky, Vanitas, and TheFirstEvil100
ps -if you here that background noise in the beginning it ends around the 2 minute mark!

425The Big 3 finally have their graduation, similar to western standards. Now Class 1-A is now temporary 2-A as Aizawa is still their homeroom teacher. Aoyama is unfortunately leaving U.A. which he officially gives his spot to Shinso.
And I'm not sure that's Tenko or could be a new character/villain. But we should see...
Shonen Jump will back after 2 weeks.
June 30th is when it'll be back!
#991160 Boku No Hero Academia
Posted by LuckyChi7 on 03 June 2024 - 12:46 AM in Otaku Square
424 - MoreYeah, Izuku is back being quirkless but I believed it won't last long. Also, this chapter just validate more on my upcoming post when we reach the final chapter.
Also, new haircut alert, what do you guys think about Izuku's new do?
I foresaw Deku losing One for All since we saw the 9 users of One for All communicating with him at the beginning of Joint Training Arc, and more in particular since Meta Liberation Army Arc when Shigaraki got his boost in strength. That also brings be to the connection The One for All and All for One Quirks had during the Paranormal War Arc when Deku confronted Shigaraki, and they had that meta world link.....
Let me put explain it better in this sense:
All for One & One for All both are inverses of each other.
Yin (Darkness) and Yang (Light)
The Sun and The Moon
If you remove one of hem from the equation than it cause a massive imbalance as whole, and the same concept in principle applies these two quirks. One could also say that All for One & One for All function differently... which is true, but at the same time they also compliment one another too in many ways too. Which is why from a thematic stance and a symbolism stance that is poetic that One for All disappears from Deku at the same time as Shigaraki began to crumble away while maintaining both quirks after he had stolen it from him.
I am very aware how pissed off people are about this outcome for Deku, and more in particular how they hurt and betrayed they felt that this ruins the series for them. As for my own personal stance, I am not one of those fans who are an outrage about this especially because this whole series I started just right after the Naruto manga ended... I wanted to find that series and fill that void which led me to creating this thread for everyone because there's something special about My Hero Academia and it's character. Now over a period of time after the manga debuted and particular after the anime, I did slowly find myself feeling falling out of love with the series which led to my appearances on this thread to diminish slowly even when it came to chapter discussions on my channels (with the exception of podcasts after each arc ended).
That said, I never once dropped reading the manga at all, it was still a series I kept up with reading on a weekly basis unless Kohei took a break from the magazine for health reasons which is totally understandable. Which did become more frequent especially when we were still in the midst of this final war arc of the series, and there's a lot that can be discussed about the arc as a whole, but I'll save it after the story is said and done.
This brings me to my final point which is Deku's current status... Will he be forever quirkless once his embers disappear? or will One for All somehow some way return?
Well let's break these down into 2 scenarios....
Scenario 1: Deku Remains Quirkless
Something worth mentioning is during Kohei's conceptual stages... Deku was originally meant to be quirkless, and was suggested by his editor that he should have a quirk so that he didn't fall behind others.
Why did Kohei initially concept him to be quirkless throughout the series beforehand?
Let's just Deku was going to be based a hero who was based around using gadgets... Much like Batman!
Now, with the latest chapter... it does make me wonder if this what Kohei is striving to do by going back to that original concept he envisioned with Deku from the beginning.
Essentially a quirkless hero who relies on gadgets, again... Like Batman
The chances of this scenario outcome I'd say is (45%)
Now as for Scenario 2: Deku regains One for All
This is one, I am not going to delve so much into because it's rather simple. Deku can just visit Eri so that she could do the same thing that happened to Mirio during the Paranormal War.
I do feel like this taking place will undermine what took place in the final fight between Deku and Shigaraki, and that's the only hindrance should this happen.
The chances of this scenario outcome I would say is (45%)
Just as evenly possible with scenario 1.
Wait a second, Lucky that logistically doesn't add up... 45% + 45% = 90%
"So.... what about the last 10% care to explain that?"
Yes, this bring me to a wild card scenario...
Wild Card Scenario: Deku gains a new quirk
Immediate question: "OMG, are you thinking Deku has had a quirk this whole time hidden inside him?"
No No, that is simply not where I am going with this at all. Remember when I said how All for One & One for All were like Yin and Yang. One can't survive without the other.... The thematic and symbolism aspect of it and all, right?
Well, what if I were to tell you that All for One and One for All disappearing from existence was only just the beginning.
That it leads to a brand new quirk that is comprised of both All for One & One for All together, and that this new hypothetical quirk resides within Deku himself.
Just the idea of this concept has floating around in my head for a couple months now, and to me..... It's probably the most fascinating scenario in comparison to the previous two I talked about above.
Now the chances of this scenario is a low (10%)
Oh and as for Deku's new haircut, it's honestly fine and.... if we're being totally realistic about this.... He dealt with his greatest adversary at a fight to the death, and given how serious Deku's injuries were.... There's a lot that went into the surgical procedure which also meant ridding that section of Deku's hair because when you still look at it from the back... he still has a good amount of his hair in tact, and I think it'll be something that he grows again over time.
Those are just my thoughts on Deku being quirkless now, and his new haircut.

I feel like it could be July which would be fitting given that it's the 10 year anniversary when the manga debuted... Kohei does have a trend of giving proper closure for like four to five chapters to the aftermath of each arc. Given that this is the final arc I definitely feel like he isn't gonna rush job it given how he's tackled it before.
#991092 Did NaruSaku only have a chance because Sasuke was away?
Posted by LuckyChi7 on 09 May 2024 - 10:54 PM in Naruto General
it's like saying "kakashi and rin would have happened". why even ask for that? if not for obito kakashi would have let rin die...
kishimoto and his brother were probably close so he wanted to keep the team the way it was in the story. even in dragon quest/hunterxhunter/o-parts hunter they all have a character kind of like sasuke
I'd make the argument that Seishi kept Ruby Crescent (the heroine) a core integral component to the narrative of O-Parts Hunter, and specifically to Jio Freed since the first chapter of the series all the way to the end. You could just tell inseparable Seishi made Jio and Ruby which really shows. The final chapter cover also speaks a lot on that front too.
Masashi really needed the same touch that Seishi had when it came to developing his female characters and of course the romance aspect of it for Naruto and Sakura.
I do wish so much that we got the same level of love and care for NaruSaku especially in the later half of Part 2 without Masashi throwing a bone to get the fandoms to wag their tails... like "OMG could it be? Could it be?" and I'm just like thinking.... as an aspiring writer..... this is not how to win over your readers when it comes to developing romance between two characters.
I know the argument a lot of people make is "Well Naruto isn't a romance therefore it's fine we didn't get a lot of focus..." that has always been such a poor excuse I've heard time and time again.
Which, I'm gonna say this.... if romance isn't gonna be a super integral piece to the narrative of your story.... which is totally fine because any writer has the freedom to do that, but... here's my advice.... Don't just fool around with your readers about which couple will be canon.....
If you as the writer already know from the conception of your story that this couple is going to be canon then just focus on developing that pairing as you are telling the story you've created.
That is definitely the #1 thing Masashi didn't understand when it came to Naruto.
#991087 Did NaruSaku only have a chance because Sasuke was away?
Posted by LuckyChi7 on 09 May 2024 - 12:22 AM in Naruto General
I'll give my two cents on this whole thing, and given that we're slowly reaching the 10 year anniversary since Naruto ended....
More so with Part 2 to be perfectly frank, but here's the one thing I realized when it came to most of Naruto and Sakura's conversations. A lot of them are all centered around Sasuke whether it's directly stated or not. Their dynamic is great and I still like it, but I can't fathom how annoying it is just hearing them talk about Sasuke throughout Part 2.
I think it's perfectly fine for Naruto and Sakura to start off Part 2 that way with them talking about the good old days with Sasuke, but... really when I look at at other series like Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakushou, Rave Master, O-Parts Hunter, Kingdom Hearts, Shaman King, Final Fantasy, My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Avatar The Last Airbender, etc... a lot of the couple dynamics talk about more things than just one particular friend all the time. They talk about the future, and where they want to grow as time goes on. What they can do to better themselves as an individual, and how to make their mark on the world.
I definitely feel that is one aspect that Naruto and Sakura heavily lacked in when it comes to the canon lore, they were too tied to Team 7. Which I totally understand that Team 7 was a big focus point in Naruto, but let's be real. Naruto and Sakura really needed to grow and move past their bonds with Sasuke and see the world for what it truly was.
It's like real life, you start off thinking as a adolescent, but over time you mature and become wiser, and better. That is the one thing I truly feel Naruto and Sakura really needed, and that would've made them even more accepting. However, there in lies the problem with not only just Naruto and Sakura, but for the series as a whole.
They never really matured at all, and remained very one note about that. Which is honestly a real shame when you really take a look at what Naruto and Sakura are, and how they could've been so much more than what they were given.

This was originally conceived as a one shot that I've had in the back of my mind for a very very long time, but then as I began typing again it made me realize that there was so much more to tell here.
Synopsis: The world is recovering from the devastation of The Fourth Great Ninja War, and Naruto enters a new phase in his life with new challenges ahead as he is accompanied by his teammate Sakura Haruno, and together a they grow and become even more in-sync as team.. Perhaps even on a deeper understanding beyond friendship.

One significant change I would personally make for a live action Naruto series is make Tsunade the inspiration for Sakura in wanting to be a kunoichi, and maybe this could be something that is talked about amongst the girls.... Like a passing conversation from Ino to Sakura and those tales gives her the motivation...
The reason she would want to be a kunoichi most of all is to help those in need, and the leave the romance aspect to a high minimal focus.
That would be me though.
