The emergence of this development sparked distinctive reactions from fans who are familiar with both My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen. Fans began drawing comparisons between Deku and Inumaki, which may seem peculiar to those who only follow the anime adaptations of the two series.

Upon the release of chapter 419 of the manga series, fans were quick to draw comparisons between Deku and Inumaki based on a particular event. Although the chapter was not yet available at the time of writing, spoilers were already circulating and one panel in particular showed Deku suffering from severe injuries. This was due to his return from the dreamscape alongside Shigaraki, both of whom now have their bodies taken over by AFO.

Despite Deku’s efforts to change Shigaraki’s heart, AFO’s intervention ultimately ruined his success. During their confrontation, Shigaraki advanced towards Deku to deliver the finishing blow, but Deku was unable to move due to the fact that he had lost both of his arms. This was a result of using his quirk in the dreamscape to hold onto Tenko’s hands when the Decay quirk was activated.

Despite being a beloved character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series, Inumaki lost his left arm during the Shibuya Incident when Sukuna unleashed his powerful Domain Expansion. Despite the devastating effect it has had on other highly skilled sorcerers, Inumaki can count himself fortunate to have survived.

Fans’ Thoughts on the Comparison Between Deku and Inumaki

“Nah, Bro got the Inumaki treatment from Jujutsu Kaisen.”

This fan, specifically, drew a comparison between the two characters as they both lost their arms. The only distinction being that Inumaki retains one functional arm, while Deku lost both in the events that occurred in the dreamscape. Fans were not shy in mocking Deku for experiencing the same fate as Inumaki at the hands of Gege Akutami.

“deku and inumaki not having arms is crazy, free my sons!!!,”one fan wrote.

Undoubtedly, a significant portion of their fanbases share a strong affection for both Deku and Inumaki. These two characters have captured the hearts of fans with their endearing personalities. Their unwavering devotion to protecting their loved ones, as depicted in their respective manga series, only adds to their appeal. It is clear that many netizens are deeply affected by the sight of their beloved characters in such vulnerable states.

“Eri clutching up trust,”said another.

In the meantime, supporters eagerly anticipate Eri’s powers aiding in the regeneration of Deku’s lost limbs. His presence is crucial in this battle, and his absence would give Shigaraki an advantage. Online users are optimistic that the Rewind Quirk will allow Deku to return to his previous state, ultimately resulting in the regrowth of his limbs.

“dread seeing twitter that day if hori does that never beating the plot device allegations,”said a fan.

Despite this, there are some fans who fervently hope that this outcome does not come to pass. They strongly believe that it would only serve as another example of the protagonist being shielded by plot armor, a common trope seen in many Shonen series.

Keep an eye out for additional updates on anime and manga in the coming months of 2024.
