My Hero Academia’s Next Symbol of Peace Shouldn’t Be Deku

My Hero Academia is coming to an end and now the question of who will be the next Symbol of Peace arises, but it certainly shouldn’t be Deku.

Reintroducing the potential new villain right at the beginning of Chapter 429 immediately gives it an air of gravitas that was sorely lacking in Chapter 428. His return so close to the end of the manga is justified by the immediate importance he brings to the ending. With a backstory that could put any member of the League of Villains to shame and a decidedly dangerous Quirk that was the source of his misfortune, he fits the archetype of a My Hero Academy Fortunately, in the post-war society of heroes, he has no opportunity to give in to his worst instincts.

Horikoshi’s decision to have the infamous old woman who refused to help Shigaraki save this unfortunate new character is the perfect way to bring My Hero Academy It’s come full circle. Since her role in Tomura Shigaraki’s story, or rather her lack thereof, she has become an infamous figure in the fandom. Many fans have even gone so far as to blame Shigaraki’s later misdeeds on her inaction and choice to ignore a young Shigaraki’s plea for help. Her recent cameo in chapter 427 only added fuel to the fire, but this singular act has redeemed her. His use of All Might’s “I’m here” refrain reiterates the point of the chapter. that the entire hero society should rally together and protect each other, as it has done for decades.

The only problem with their interaction is that These two characters are still nameless. Given their importance to the story’s ending and its themes, it stands to reason that they should at least be given a unique identity so that fans can easily remember them. This is a recurring problem in My Hero Academybecause several important characters remain anonymous, despite their recurring relevance. But their anonymity underlines the idea that either could be any member of society, and suggests the standard of behavior that one should follow when encountering a person in distress.

Hawks’ first order as chairman of the Hero Safety Commission also fits into this idea. By revamping Billboard’s hero rankings to highlight multiple individuals, including ordinary citizens, instead of allowing one competition to be the ultimate No. 1, he has decentralized the power of the Pro Hero institution. The added incentive of national recognition will also encourage more people to take on hero duties themselves, while being aware of the responsibility that will come with their efforts.Hawks realizes his dream of creating a world where heroes have too much free time. The fact that the old woman’s interaction with the young boy on the street happens at the very moment that Class 2-A is facing a personal crisis only proves this further. Overall, Chapter 429 projects an incredibly bright future for hero society, one that will be healthier and more inclusive than ever before.

The best My Hero Academia episodes featuring Ochaco Uraraka really showcase her “never say die” attitude in the face of adversity.

The conversation between Deku and Uraraka that was hinted at in the cliffhanger of Chapter 428 contradicts the expectation that it would be romantic in nature. Instead, It’s a cathartic conclusion to one of the series’ best on-screen friendships.Surprisingly, this is only their second real heart-to-heart, and it shows how much they unconsciously influence each other. My Hero Academy explores two different questions through Deku and Uraraka. Through this conversation, they understand that they have each found similar solutions to the other’s riddle.

Uraraka’s updated assessment of her fight with Toga is a reflection of how her heroic spirit has changed. Surprisingly, she blames herself for Toga’s death, using a very “Deku” line of thinking. Never mind the fact that Toga was actively trying to hurt or even kill her during the final fight between the heroes and villains; Uraraka believed that Toga’s death could have been avoided if she had been a stronger heroine. While this isn’t a very healthy idea to internalize, it’s technically true and a sentiment that Deku struggled with multiple times during his journey to mastering One For All. It ultimately made him a less reckless hero, and the same result could apply to Uraraka in the future.

Deku, on the other hand, had come to seek out Uraraka because he sensed that she was feeling unsettled and wished to comfort her, as she had done many times for him. Silently observing Deku’s progress, Uraraka’s personal dilemma was who would take care of the Pro-Heroes when they were suffering. Now, in her moment of need, struggling with the weight of responsibility that only a hero could, Uraraka receives the same kindness she wished to give to others.Class 2-A’s late arrival only makes Uraraka more comfortable, showing once again that saving, or simply showing up, for others shouldn’t be a one-person job.

Why These My Hero Academia Characters Are Better Fits For One For All

Deku has always been an unexpected and controversial choice to wield One For All, and there are two others who might have been more deserving.

Chapter 429 finally addresses the issue of Deku’s Quirk. Deku’s rather vague statement that he has completed One For All, and the power being used by several different people, seems to indicate that he will only retain the base version like All Might did. If true, it will be a fitting end for him since he spent so much energy taming the Quirk, but he will no longer have access to the abilities of previous users that made him nearly invincible. perfect balance between him and his work as a Pro-Hero without becoming a monolithic force.

Leaving One For All in a state where its power depends on Deku’s support might fall into the “power of friendship” shōnen trope, but it fits with the Quirk’s behavior from the beginning. Deku’s best uses of One For All always come in moments where he’s trying to protect someone else.Although it may be artificial, there is enough basis for My Hero Academy to win and use this cliche. Not only that, but this development is another plot point in Chapter 429’s overall message about teamwork paving the way for the future of hero society.

It brings together several of the series’ most important themes amidst character interactions that any reader can appreciate, but will be especially rewarding for longtime fans of the series.
