Fans of My Hero Academia were met with a range of emotions upon discovering spoilers from chapter 429 circulating online. Although the main story had already concluded some time ago, the manga artist is now devoting attention to the epilogue. A crucial aspect of the epilogue is the dynamic between Deku and Ochaco.
Despite fans’ anticipation for a confession scene between Deku and Ochaco in the leaked chapter 429 spoilers, the duo has yet to fully address the nature of their relationship due to the constant demands of saving the world. However, after successfully fulfilling their duty, they may finally have the opportunity to discuss their feelings for each other.
Despite the lack of a confession scene, a significant portion of the fanbase was left feeling frustrated. However, it is important for these fans to recognize the significant impact that the absence of a confession scene can have.
Please be aware that this article contains major spoilers from the manga chapters, as well as some minor spoilers from chapter 429, which was not yet available at the time of writing.
Why the Absence of a Confession Scene in My Hero Academia Chapter 429 was Pivotal

Prior to delving into this subject, it is crucial to grasp Midoriya and Ochaco’s state of mind following the war. Although the majority of the population may have been filled with joy, only the heroes were aware of the sacrifices made for their victory. They mourned the loss of their comrades, and both Deku and Ochaco suffered the absence of individuals who held great significance to them. Himiko and Tomura Shigaraki also had complex connections with Ochaco and Midoriya, respectively.
Despite Ochaco’s attempts, she couldn’t shake off the realization that Himiko had sacrificed her life just to see her survive. In addition, Ochaco couldn’t help but think that if certain events in Himiko’s past had gone differently, she may not have become the infamous villain she was known as. Similarly, while Midoriya managed to defeat Shigaraki Tomura, he was unable to save him. Midoriya’s ultimate goal was to reach Shigaraki and steer him away from the destructive path he had chosen.
With their thoughts occupied, Midoriya and Ochaco found themselves on a hill, spending time together as shown in chapter 429 spoilers. In a moment of vulnerability, Midoriya consoled Ochaco and held her hand as she processed her emotions. Despite their mutual romantic feelings, a confession felt out of place as they both continued to heal from the trauma of the recent war. Instead, they sought comfort in each other’s embrace during this trying time.
It would not be beneficial to have a conversation about romantic feelings during such a tumultuous time. With emotions running high and both parties dealing with significant trauma, it is important to refrain from using a romantic relationship as a coping mechanism. Kohei Horikoshi seemed to understand this and chose to omit the confession scene in the manga series.
