My Hero Academia is winding down right as Deadpool takes over cinemas, so fans are celebrating their unlikely crossover as a result.
My Hero Academia Chapter 430will finish Kohei Horikoshi’s manga. Since theMy Hero Academia endingcoincides withDeadpool and Wolverinedominating the box office, the Merc With A Mouth’s dalliance with manga is getting passed around.
In particular, a page where, in typicalDeadpoolfashion, it turns out Wade Wilson and Kohei know each other. Not only that, Wade is keeping him prisoner.
“Good thing I had Kohei Horikoshi locked in my basement in case of emergency,” Deadpool tells All Might. The two heroes share a moment together, and honestly, they don’t look completely ridiculous side-by-side.

Several Marvel heavy-hitters were tapped for inclusion, including Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Ant-Man. Each got a manga-inspired rundown of their design and a distinct storyline, though none are as weird and wonderful as Deadpool’s.
Almost a decade prior, Marvel Anime featuredWade Wilsonas well, with Wolverine, the X-Men, Iron Man, and more. That particular venture seems rather prescient now, given the state ofMarvel Phase 6with the emerging mutants,Blade, and Robert Downey Jr’s imminent return to the franchise as Doctor Doom.
Alas, Kohei appears to have broken out of Wade’s clutches. My Hero Academia is having a massive year, with the manga finishing, the release ofnew movieYou’re Next, and Season 7 of the anime show.
