Kohei Horikoshi recommends the new My Hero Academia replacement to fans
MHA has a new replacement recommended by Horikoshi – and it could be Shonen Jump's next big hit.
Izuku had left his hero career behind and become a teacher. In this chapter, Deku receives a gift from All Might, which is a Hero suit that gives him Quirk-like powers. This allows him to become a hero again.
This was MHA's final chapter published in Weekly Shonen Jump. My Hero Academia chapter 431 came later, in the last volume. Some believe this chapter was created by Horikoshi due to a lot of negative backlash to the original ending got, but that's not really true.
My Hero Academia's Anime Could Create a Future Movie
The My Hero Academia anime will most likely end with MHA chapter 431and with that, fans will get a lot more closure compared to manga that end with more detailed character epilogues.
Not only that, but it is more than likely that the anime will add some exclusive content. This anime content can greatly expand the storyand maybe even create future projects, like a movie.
Fans would love to see Deku and the other new Pro Heroes in action againwhich is something they never got to see in the manga. A movie where Deku, Bakugo and the others face a new threat would also be great. This movie may also finally realize Deku's goal as he may be able to overtake Mirio as Japan's #1 hero.
The My Hero Academia manga ended with 431 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters are available on Manga Plus. My Hero Academia is also airing its final season, which will consist of 11 episodes in total. The series can be seen on Crunchyroll.
