The Unanswered Mystery of My Hero Academia’s Ending

The spoilers for chapter 430 of My Hero Academia have been released, and fans are buzzing with excitement as this marks the final chapter of the epilogue. While the upcoming chapter will bring an end to the series, there are still some mysteries left unsolved. Among them is the true identity of the protagonist’s father.

Prior to the release of the spoilers, fans were filled with anxiety. This was due to a previous statement made by manga author Kohei Horikoshi, which led them to believe that the final chapter would unveil his identity.

Despite the mangaka’s promise to unveil the identity of Deku’s father in the future, fans were left disappointed when chapter 430 did not reveal any information. With only one chapter left, fans are worried that the manga will end without addressing this mystery.

The latest spoilers reveal that chapter 430 starts with Deku’s narration, which mirrors the beginning of the animanga series. At the age of 17, he appears to have gained a deeper understanding of society. The spoilers also hint at some interactions between Deku and his mother, as well as appearances from All Might and Gran Torino.

Midoriya also made sure to reflect on his journey over the past few years. He finally lived the life he had always envisioned, and as he continued to contemplate, viewers could witness the remnants of All For One gradually dissipating. This serves as a clear indication that he has relinquished possession of the Quirk.

Moreover, it was demonstrated that Uraraka Ochaco implemented a Quirk counseling program, which was deemed crucial for society. Her classmates also made valuable contributions in their own unique ways.

Despite numerous heartfelt interactions, the identity of Midoriya’s father remains undisclosed. The only mention of him was when Midoriya’s mother, Inko, revealed that he possessed the ability to breathe fire. Hisashi Midoriya, also known as Deku’s father, had accepted a job offer in a foreign country. While there are speculations about Inko and Hisashi’s marriage, little has been disclosed about their relationship.

At the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con, the manga author announced his plans to unveil Midoriya’s father’s identity. Fans eagerly anticipated the epilogue, hoping it would finally provide them with the closure they had been longing for.

Despite numerous theories circulating on the internet, one particular speculation suggests that All For One could potentially be Deku’s father. This theory is supported by the fact that All For One has the ability to breathe fire, which could be a result of him stealing Deku’s Quirk. However, the truth of this matter will remain unknown unless Kohei Horikoshi reveals more information through outlets other than the current manga series.
