My god, horikoshi saw us losing our shit over 431 and was like, Damn, I need to bring my bitches round, here u go, sweethearts, ur dream come true ending with a special oneshot,

A wink a wink ;)

[yowassupchilling]

Oh, what was that you're saying? Something about Bakugo and deku not being the main focused dynamic of mha-

Smth about bakudekus eating dirt- I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF BAKUGO RISING UP THE RANKS AFTER IZUKU MAKES THE COMEBACK AND THEM SMILING AND GRINNING AND MARRYING EACHOTHER FOREVERRRRR!!!!

Lmao horikoshi finally did bakugo some justice and stuck to his true character.

[yowassupchilling]

GUYS MY BAKUDEKU HEART HAS RESURRECTED!!!

I was so disappointed and underwhelmed by 431 but this oneshot has brought me back to life

Horikoshi I love u for giving us what we all wanted🥹

[a3rosp4ce]

katsuki immediately rising up the ranks as soon as izuku joined and following close behind him (kats at 5 and izu at 4). they're fulfilling their dream of competing and chasing after each other for the rest of their lives oh i cant do this

[nefastnefertiti]

WHY CHAPTER 431 OF MY HERO ACADEMIA SCREAMS CENSORSHIP

First let's start by the "afterword", the note Horikoshi left after 430 and before the extras, chapter 431.

Original japanese for those who understand.

The best traslation I found and most people are agreeing with.

Key sentences are:

1.The real final chapter is 429, 430 is more like a curtain call.

2. PS: For chapter 431, I turn off the cameras and free the characters from their dramas.

This note being left after 430 and before the extras is so important. . The clarification of "the real final chapter is 429" and 430 is the curtain call is screaming: the show has ended here. This is further stated by "i turn the cameras off" by the man who use to refer himself as the camera man, I leave you with an example.

(They're talking about Vol 37 cover)

And back to point number 2: "and free the characters from their dramas", which could perfectly be understood as "the characters are no longer tied to their previous plots and drama" no longer connected to the main story.

It may seem like a reach until here, we're just trying to convince ourselves that's not canon, right? They´re delusions, right?

The problem is how far away everything about 431 antagonizes the whole story, the characters doesn't feel like themselves, they even regress back all their development, the drawing style looks totally different and there are many irregularities that call for our attention.

Dabi, 431 and by Horikoshi

Toga and Ochaco in 431:

Toga and Ochaco by Horikoshi:

All Might's signature for Katsuki (Horikoshi would never mess this up):

Kirishima with 6 fingers lol, Horikoshi loves drawing hands, he would never.

Katsuki's odd teeth what the fuck. (His hand looks good to me)

Ochaco and Shoto just look, weird. It's clearly not Horikoshi's art style.

And this awful background (center) was the main giveaway.

Horikoshi's backgrounds are so professional:

At this point I'm getting tired since the difference is astounding, don't believe me, just check the manga.

I don't think Horikoshi would've allowed those mistakes had he have a role in the making, maybe he did, there's no saying about that, but clearly if he did his involvement was very low.

Character's development wise now.

Seriously? "Deku"? And Katsuki complaining for picking him up. He cried his eyes out when Izuku lost his quirk and now he's back at season 1?

Izuku would never in a million years turn down that offer. And if he did, it would never be like this, so devoid of emotion and empathy.

430 showed us an Izuku aiming for his dreams again and at 431 this Izuku ¿? It's okay with being a teacher? Ok. And if that's not the problem, why he outright rejects Katsuki out of nowhere? When their rivalry was one of the main points of the plots for 430 chapters and now just um over? Without justification? Ok.

Ok.

Now specifically about that ship canonization and bkdk.

Horikoshi has been doing this for 10 years. The choices he took the whole manga were incredibly intentional, all those romantic tropes given to bkdk, his interviews, all stand in direct opposition to what happened in this last chapter.

I, myself, don't know much about Jump but what I've heard is they end lot of shonens with the same heterosexual formula. I don't think all of this is a coincidence.

Something really important that needs to be adressed to is what happened back in June (I think), when suddenly MHA announced it was ending in 5 chapters could've something to do with this. The manga was suddenly rushed to its ends with unsatisfying resolutions and as if that was not enough, one month later (at most) the same happened to JJK and all of this came accompanied by a switch of one of the heads of Jump.

About 431 again though.

I was just thinking what would I do if I was pressured to write something that ruins the biggest project of my life and goes against everything I was hoping for? Refuse. Tell them to write it themselves. If I can't do anything to stop it and it'll be there, alright, but I WON'T DO IT.

And I think this could be Horikoshi's case.

I've never seen a shonen manga come so close to implying his male protagonist and his male deuteragonist are in love before. Yes, it was not EXPLICIT but it was so fucking clear if you knew how to read, all the way up to 430. All those cliches tropes he gave them, he knew, we know.

I thought I'll die trying to explaineverything that seems wrong with this with nothing to back me up but the fact that he added that note is clear for me. I'm surprised they allowed him to publish it, I thought we wouldn't even have that.

PS:

It's interesting this being posted the same day 431 comes out. Also "heroaca is pretty dark, huh?"

I'll not go into this anyways because it's kind of a reach but the conclusion is: I think it's a "soft" censorship and Horikoshi did his best to relay his message given what he had.

Thanks for reading!

[yowassupchilling]

I'm so outraged rn because wdym Deku refused to join Katsuki's agency!?!?!?

That man spent his entire pro hero life to make sure Izuku gets that suit and becomes the hero that he always dreamt of being. When the man that chased after fame and success of being pro hero let all of it go because success meant nothing without Izuku there. That man keeps the allmight card keychained to remind him why he's existing.How dare you assume that after they died for eachother, went insane for eachother and lived for eachother, Deku would reduce their relationship from that of soulmates (platonic or romantic) to just nothing?

How dare u assume that Izuku would degrade their relationship and their sacrifices to that extent?

Yea. That aint izuku at all. The chp degrades the entire character of bakugo katsuki and pours all his efforts into the drain and that, is what infuriates me the most.

Did Katsuki go through all that for nothing?

[shadowdj94]

Uh, ALL of Class A, Mei and the Shields made efforts the suit. Yea Bakugo was at the front of it, but that doesn’t mean he’s OWED anyone. That’s a kinda nasty mindset to have.

Like saying, “Oh I did this thing, so now you owe me a relationship” is really incel logic and kinda nasty. This isn’t just a thing with BkDk ships, it’s just in general of people saying they “deserve” someone because they did something. Thats NOT how a relationship should work.

Plus legit Izuku saw Bakugo as the embodiment of never giving up, but that’s more an admiration for strength like how he saw All Might. By your logic, he would be wanting to jump on All Might’s old man bones and I DOUBT anyone wants to see that.

Also Izuku didn’t just say no out of nowhere. He likes his job at UA because he can help a lot of students meet their potential like All Might did for him. Hes following Toshinori, Nana and Gran Torino’s example by being an educator. Hes just now able to get back on the field with his friends again so that is a bonus

[yowassupchilling]

Look I'm not saying he OWES him anything. I never used that word in my entire post. What I felt on a personal level was that it was super off character of izuku. If u like the ending,then like it. Don't like my post? Don't. I'm not asking u to like it. Move along. Have your own opinions and stay happy. Of course i do agree with your statement that nobody owes anybody anything. But what I wrote were the things I felt were true. Im sure u must agree that none of them should take any of their relationships lightly. I do appreciate your feedback because you seem to be talking about the core values instead of trashing on the post only because they hate bkdk. I must clear that my post was not meant to show that Izuku owes bakugo love but the fact that I, on a personal level, felt that bakugo, on the whole, deserved more. In the end we have to remember that they are fictional characters. Because the fight over fictional characters usually ends up being a fight about the personal values of the people that are reflected in their post. Its better to stay as far as possible from any unnecessary drama.

Appreciate ur views on it!!

Hope we keep loving bnha and sharing opinions as long as they are free of hate, even if they might be contrary!

[shadowdj94]

I fully agree with the last sentiment my guy. Just wanted to add that in because of seeing people literally throwing tantrums on TikTok and Twitter over them not hooking up and it’s usually the fact that he thought of the idea to make the suit as their main point.

Bakugo had a… meh redemption arc but that’s only because I feel they didn’t do the apology early enough (chapter 121-122 to me woukd have made it feel more genuine)

Plus here’s the thing too: the way it came off was that he wanted Izuku to work *for* him instead of *with* him. Like it came off as a hiring post, not a recruiting for a partner of the agency. Plus again. Izuku is pretty independent right now so wouldn’t it make sense that he’d be cool with working alongside Bakugo and the rest as an independent hero working for UA instead of as an employee?

[yowassupchilling]

Exactly. I don’t mind you having different opinions at all. I believe Bakugo did show his regret through his actions. I gotta be honest. I love his character and it's development. So im more frustrated about the fact that he just got the worst ending description outta all the others(my opinion). My post definitely was not focused solely on the the bakudeku ship but more on Bakugo's character as whole. You still pointed out what you morally believe. And that's great. I've seen some blogs that are based soley on hating the bkdk ship. Hope our fandom learns to get along.

[shadowdj94]

Honestly though in terms of a ship? I legit think Kirishima or Camie make a bit more sense least in terms of them being really the only people who created a reaction that wasn’t pure vitriol at someone. Kirishima more so but if someone put a weapon on my head for a hetero ship, it’d be Camie. But Kiri legit felt like HE instigated the most change in Bakugo’s behavior

[yowassupchilling]

Well,your opinion, my opinion. There isn't really any winning here. So...that's it ig.

[uglygreenjacket]

It's not about the ship.

A majority of us BKDKs never believed the ship would become canon. That was never really on the table.

What it is about, is 10 years of character and relationship development completely nuked for the establishment of a different relationship that had faded into the background at best for a lot of that time.

Izuku and Katsuki are important to one another. There's zero denying that. Katsuki died for Izuku. All of his scars come from protecting Izuku in one way or another. Katsuki was devastated when he learned of OFA's loss. He worked for eight years to make sure Izuku could live out his dream.

Izuku has looked up to Katsuki since they were children. He lost the plot multiple times when Katsuki was insulted or in trouble. Shigraki himself said Katsuki was closer to Izuku than anyone else.

And all of that development brought us zero discussions about what they've been through. No talk about the impact of Katsuki's death. No talk of Katsuki's apology. No talk about Izuku's feelings about the demise of his dream. Instead, we got Izuku rejecting the idea of being partners with Katsuki, something his character for the entirety of the series would have undoubtedly loved.

Yes, people can grow apart. But show me that. Give me background on why. Give me something, anything that would explain why the Izuku at the end of the epilogue is in diametric contrast to the Izuku we saw at the end of chapter 430.

These two characters mean so much to me. I don't see myself in their story, but the love (whether platonic or otherwise) and care that they show for each other speaks to me so deeply. Katsuki's growth as a person and Izuku's acceptance of and willingness to forgive Katsuki no matter what speaks to me so deeply, and to see that thrown away stings.

It's not about the ship. It was never really about the ship.

[yowassupchilling]

THIS THIS IS WHAT I MEANT.

What chp 431? There's no chp 431. Only 430 happy chapters

[yowassupchilling]

Crazy how we got izuocha dapping up (no hate to them) but I was robbed of the bakudeku handhold that had so much history and meaning behind it.

[seagreenstardust]

Friendly reminder that Izuku didn’t go charging into the fight with the slime monster until after he saw it had Katsuki

He was literally at his lowest point right then. Not one person in his life thought he could be a hero, and that day both Katsuki and All Might had made it clear to him that they thought it was impossible.

Izuku was horrified at his role in setting the slime monster free, that his own actions could cause harm to someone else, but he still didn’t go running into the fight until he saw it had Katsuki.

He knew his role. He knew it was the heroes job to save, not his. He stayed in his lane, observed, took notes, prepared himself to act, but he still never actually acted until he saw Katsuki in danger.

Only Katsuki’s safety would have driven him to do what he did. Yes, Izuku is heroic. Yes, he is hardwired to save others. But at his lowest point, no encouragement or validation or support from any corner, it was Katsuki being in danger that pushed Izuku to act when no one else would.

It had to be Kacchan.
