My Hero Academia is in the endgame, with only a few chapters of manga left. One of the biggest stars in the anime spoke to us about how they’d like the final act to go, and it’d be a perfect note to finish on.
TheMy Hero Academia endingis coming very soon. The manga finishes in August, after returning withChapter 428, and although the anime has more runway, that’ll be wrapping up in a season or two as well.
“This is the fight to bring back everyone’s smile,” he told Dexerto. “What I personally wish, what would be wonderful, is that all of the heroes, including Deku, get all their smiles back. This is the fight to bring everyone’s smile back.”
Things are pretty far away from that in the anime. The fight against Shigaraki and All For One kicked off inMy Hero Academia Season 7, and so far, it’s been tough.
Star and Stripe came in to help, but she didn’t last long against the villain. The narrative is pushing towards the inevitable fight of Deku taking on Shigaraki one-on-one, and no spoilers if you haven’t read the manga yet, but that’s a battle for the ages.
