My Hero Academia Creator’s Ending Message Sparks Shared Reaction

After the conclusion of the My Hero Academia manga, creator Kohei Horikoshi has a message for his readers, and fans have one resounding response.

Following ten years of serialization, Chapter 430 marked the conclusion of My Hero Academia. With the final chapter, we were given a peek into the fates of Deku and the rest of Class 1-A, as well as some intriguing revelations about other individuals.

After the conclusion of the manga, Horikoshi took to X/Twitter to express his gratitude to readers for their support over the past ten years. In his heartfelt message, the author announced the end of My Hero Academia in this week’s issue of Jump. Despite facing many obstacles, he was determined to see it through until the very end.

The memory of competing alongside numerous fascinating manga in the prestigious Jump magazine will always hold a special place in my heart. And most importantly, I will never forget the honor of having Deku chosen to stand alongside Luffy, even if it was only for a brief period and perhaps by chance.

The mangaka emphasized, “Despite the passage of time, Deku and the others continue to appear in the comics, the anime is still being broadcast, the movie is still being released, the game is still being played, the spin-off manga is still being published, and there are numerous events and individuals that are keeping My Hero Academia alive. Therefore, it does not feel like the end at all.”

Ultimately, he urged readers to keep showing their support for My Hero Academia by using the series’ iconic catchphrase: “Plus Ultra!”
