My Hero Academia Shippers’ Requests for Deku and Ochaco’s Epilogue Ending

Fans have been hoping for a talk between Deku and Ochaco to focus on their future relationship ever since it was announced on June 24, 2024 that My Hero Academia would end in five more chapters.

The epilogue began with the previous episode, which followed the culmination of the final war. The third-year students at U.A. High School graduated, and Deku’s class moved up to the next year. Aoyama also made the decision to depart from the school and begin anew.

Despite the numerous peculiar moments throughout the chapter, the most noteworthy was the conversation between Deku and Ochaco that concluded without any meaningful communication. As the series approaches its finale, fans eagerly anticipate a satisfying conclusion for both characters from Horikoshi.

The latest installment of My Hero Academia, chapter 425 titled Out-of-Season, opened with the U.A. High School’s third-year students’ graduation ceremony. Following the distribution of their degrees, Mirio delivered a commencement address that left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.

Despite this, Deku’s class was still able to advance to the following year with Aizawa as their homeroom teacher. Aoyama also joined the class and shared his decision to leave U.A. in order to start anew, as his previous actions were all under the control of All for One.

Aoyama’s graduation party was announced, and Deku inquired with Todoroki about his attendance. Todoroki responded that he had no conflicts, as long as it didn’t fall on the same day as ‘that day.’ The chapter then transitioned to a scene of Endeavor sitting in a chamber.

During the chapter, Deku approached Ochaco with the intention of discussing something with her. However, she steered the conversation towards Deku’s hair. As the series nears its end with only five more chapters remaining, the interactions between Deku and Ochaco hold great significance for shippers rooting for their relationship.
