One Piece Chapter 1122 – A Perfect Ending for My Hero Academia

The conclusion of My Hero Academia is approaching, and One Piece has paid a touching homage to Kohei Horikoshi’s manga.

The conclusion of My Hero Academia is approaching. In just under a week, Deku’s ten-year evolution from a Quirkless child to a superhero will come to an end. With Shigaraki already defeated, the only thing left to discover is what lies ahead for Class 1-A.

One Piece and its creator, Eiichiro Oda, have acknowledged the incredible story that has been cultivated over the 10 years of its run. This achievement is no easy feat and is truly recognized by those in the industry.

According to credible source Pew Piece, the cover of One Piece Chapter 1122 showcases a fan illustration by Kohei that was sent to Eiichiro a long time ago. The black and white image depicts Smoker, and while it may not be the highest quality, it holds a significant place in the world of anime and manga.

“In an older interview featuring the image, Eiichiro mentioned that Kohei had sent him that fan art illustration while they were still students, and now, his career as a manga artist is flourishing right in front of us.”

“Not only that, it’s conveniently located in the pages of Jump next to One Piece! This is absolutely amazing. I found out from the artist himself at the Jump New Year’s party. You should have informed me sooner, so I could have cheered you on!”

It is often noted by fans that this is a special privilege. As one fan points out, “Only three manga have received this recognition: Dragon Ball, Naruto, and My Hero Academia.”

“Another person comments on the longevity of One Piece, noting that it has outlasted many other popular series and the author, Oda, continues to acknowledge them. They mention Naruto and My Hero Academia specifically, calling it a classy move.”

It can only be described as sheer elegance, particularly in this situation where Eiichiro was visibly overjoyed to witness a fan like Kohei rise to success. For further content from both series, we offer guides on all the deaths in the Egghead Arc and the most powerful Quirks stolen by All For One.
