The spoilers for My Hero Academia Chapter 430 began with a narration from Izuku Midoriya, who was now a teacher at U.A. High School after a time skip. Among his students was Kota Izumi, the child that Deku had rescued during the Forest Training Camp arc.

The chapter continued by depicting the current situations of each hero as they navigated the new developments in their lives. It then shifted to a class where students were prompted to share their aspirations for the future. As anticipated, all of them expressed their desire to become heroes and join renowned companies such as Hatsume’s and La Brava’s.

The spoilers for the chapter then transitioned to a visual of La Brava and Gentle Criminal, both wearing rings on their fingers that resembled wedding rings. This alluded to the possibility that the two had tied the knot during the time skip.

Fan Reactions

To the surprise of many, a significant portion of the fanbase supported the union of this couple and expressed their congratulations. Despite the disappointment of not seeing Uraraka and Deku become a couple in the final chapter, fans redirected their joy towards a lesser-known pair whose members share a deep love for one another.

“The only ship that matters,”wrote one fan.

Concluding Remarks

Despite being supporting characters, La Brava and Gentle Criminal received a surprising amount of support from fans. However, some members of the fandom viewed this as a controversial moment, as La Brava’s short appearance made her seem like a minor character.

According to official sources, La Brava was 22 years old during the final war and would have been approaching her thirties after the time skip in the finale chapter. It is possible that her short stature may be attributed to a hormonal condition such as dwarfism, as confirmed by the source material.
