Even after My Hero Academia, I still have questions.

Key Takeaways

• Midoriya's narration is merely a storytelling device and does not hint at future events or dialogue.
• The Quirk's origins and Aizawa's custody of Eri remain unanswered at the manga's conclusion.
• At stake are the fate of Mr. Compress, Ochako's confession to Midoriya, and the future composition of the team.

With the completion of the My Hero Academia manga, many long-standing questions have been answered, such as “Who was the traitor to UA?” But the ending doesn't mean everything is completely resolved. As always, there will be things fans want to see more of, and there will be loose requirements that would be nice to tie in.

With over 100 characters appearing across 430 chapters, it's no surprise that there isn't time to cover the fate of every single plot point that comes up over the course of the story. Nonetheless, there are some outstanding questions to ask yourself as we conclude the final chapter of the story of how Midoriya and his friends became the greatest heroes of all time.

9 Who was Midoriya talking to?

Midoriya speaks directly to the reader in the narration, with Bakugo briefly taking over in episode 348, leading some fans to speculate that the narration may be a plot device. Especially since Midoriya was speaking in the past tense, it was implied that this was a future version of his character.

At the end of the comic, it is revealed that this is just a storytelling device. It's interesting to think about this in the context of how he talks to his students as a teacher at UA. Spinner also took on the role of narrator, and since he later wrote the book, it would be interesting to know if his commentary comes from that book.

8 How did Quirks come about?

This question is not very important, but it is the most obvious question to ask. The only thing we know for sure is that while the glowing baby was the focus of this issue (the first to be described with the word “weirdness”), he wasn't the first person to have the oddity. There was nothing unusual about him from birth.

I also know there are hypotheses that a new disease is causing this, but these are quickly dismissed, leaving us with few answers as before. There's a good chance the world won't know for sure what caused the quirk.

7 Does Aizawa have legal custody of Eri?

This is a minor question in the grand scheme of things, but the relationship between the girl Aizawa saved and her parents had many fans. After the war, did he gain more formal custody of her, or was she placed in the care of another family member?

As seen in the ending, her paternal grandfather is now out of his coma. So does that mean he gets custody of her now? It may be part of the process of making amends for what happened to Chisaki. We see Eri grow up healthy and happy with her friends, but we never know for sure who raised Eri because these questions are never answered.

6 What happened to Mr. Compress?

The last time we saw Mr. There is an implied answer to this question since we saw Compress in prison. He likely remained in prison for his role in the league in the same way Spinner did. But we don't know for sure.

He and Spinner are the only survivors of the League of Villains, but Mr. There are absolutely no updates to Compress. It will be interesting to hear news from him, even if it's just a status update on his health. Maybe it would be interesting to see his reaction to how it all played out.

5 Has Ochako ever confessed her feelings to Midoriya?

Ochako's crush on Midoriya was a big part of her character growth and served as one of the many bridges connecting her to her narrative foil, Toga. In the final confrontation with Toga, he even says that he wants to express his feelings of love as confidently as Toga. But will she have a chance?

character do There is a connection and catharsis in the final moments, but this is nowhere near the love confession that Midoriya and Deuteronomy Bakugo's relationship is in the first place, concluding their arc. That doesn't mean she couldn't work it out or that they aren't a couple after all. It's up to the fans' interpretation!

4 Who made the team?

It's an interesting question to consider which of the heroes in training ended up on a team after turning pro. The ending gives us an idea of ​​how the rankings are going (unsurprisingly, Mirio dominates), but it doesn't tell us about the possible joint agency at work.

Did Jiro and Kaminari team up? Will Midoriya and Bakugo finally be able to take on the roles given to them by All Might and have their own hero agency together? Are Mirio, Amajiki and Nejire the same team as The Lurkers? And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

3 Should we still worry about a whimsical singularity apocalypse?

Essentially, this theory postulates that with each successive generation, strange traits continue to mix, eventually becoming too powerful for the human body to handle. Conceptualized by AFO's partner in crime, Dr. Kyudai Garaki, this theory is the driving force behind AFO's search for a new body better suited to control its various oddities.

It seems to be evidenced by the incredibly overwhelming weirdness we see over the course of the manga and the performance Bakugo and Todoroki's children perform during their remedial course in training. However, it was never fully proven or disproven, and it remained a major question about the lifespan of the universe, as it was never mentioned while the comic was wrapping up.

2 What about Midoriya's dad?

The answer to this question is actually quite simple, but it feels like the missing piece of the creators planning and executing a slow-moving traitor plot with just a few hints. In fact, Midoriya's father is working overseas, as his mother said.

I forgot about Horikoshi's character because he wasn't essential to the story. Perhaps it's for the best that we've never met Mr. Midoriya, from what we've seen in the series of dads like Enji Todoroki, Kotaro Shimura, and Keigo Takami's dads.

1 What is Horikoshi's next project?

The end of a beloved series is always bittersweet, but the creators who came up with all our favorite heroes are still young, and their art work is clearly not over yet. If he tells another story after My Hero Academia, it will be interesting to see what genre he will try next.

Along with this exciting potential to dive into new worlds, there's also the opportunity to get more content within this universe even after the main series ends. Who knows, maybe Horikoshi will visit this world again for a while someday.
