Despite being in its epilogue, My Hero Academia still has fans questioning whether author Kohei Horikoshi will address the potential romance between Izuku “Deku”Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka as he ties up loose ends.
Despite fans’ expectations that this subplot will be resolved in the upcoming chapters, there is a possibility that Horikoshi may choose to leave it open-ended when concluding the series.
The possible romance between Deku and Uraraka in My Hero Academia is a highly debated and divisive topic among fans. It is not surprising, as this plot point has sparked strong opinions from both sides. With only four or five chapters left in the manga’s epilogue, it is possible that this aspect of the story may not be addressed until the very end.
This article includes reveals for the series, so proceed with caution.
Why the Potential Romance between Deku and Uraraka May Have Been Left Open-Ended in the My Hero Academia Epilogue
Despite the series being in its epilogue arc and reports stating that it will only last four or five more chapters, the potential romance between Deku and Uraraka could be put on hold and left unresolved in the manga. While there are indications that both characters may have feelings for each other and it may seem like a simple conclusion in the epilogue, Horikoshi may have more significant story elements to address.
In the latest chapters, the author has provided a resolution for characters like Dabi, Overhaul, and Spinner, as well as their individual character arcs. This suggests that there may be a possibility for other antagonists, such as Himiko Toga, Stain, and Tomura Shigaraki, to receive a similar conclusion.
There are also the heroes of the cast, including Deku, Katsuki Bakugo, All Might, and possibly a few others who may receive their own chapters. Furthermore, Horikoshi may also hint at their future through the story.
Despite the potential for a chapter focused on Ochaco Uraraka, her connection to Toga and her motivation to become a hero for her family were somewhat overshadowed in the manga. With the number of plot points and characters already present in the story, it is possible that the romantic relationship between her and Deku may not be fully explored.
The romance between Deku and Uraraka
Despite the strong bond between Deku and Uraraka in My Hero Academia, their potential romance has caused a divide in the fandom. While some believe they make a great couple and have consistently supported each other, others feel that the focus on shipping has diminished Ochaco’s character development and the progression of their relationship.
It should be noted that the series has already acknowledged Uraraka’s feelings towards Deku, and there is a possibility that Horikoshi may allow her to have a moment to resolve this aspect of her character. However, as previously mentioned, he currently has many other storylines to focus on.
Final thoughts
As previously stated, Horikoshi has been making efforts to wrap up the major plot points in My Hero Academia, potentially leaving the romantic relationship between Deku and Uraraka ambiguous. This could be a suitable resolution, satisfying both sides of the fandom.
