‘My Hero Academia’ and its final episode confirm the protagonist’s true dream
The final episode brings the anime to a definitive close.
‘My Hero Academia: More’ premiered on May 2 on Crunchyroll, bringing the anime adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi’s manga to a close; since its debut in 2016, it has established itself as one of the industry’s cornerstones. This final episode takes place eight years after the final battle and, far from opting for a grand finale, focuses on the everyday lives the characters now lead as adults.
The latest episode may have surprised some viewers by not depicting a spectacular future for its main characters. Instead, it features simple scenes: old friends getting together for a drink or characters discovering new hobbies. Among them, Deku—the protagonist of ‘My Hero Academia’—naturally stands out. In addition to exploring a more intimate side of his life, he clearly reveals what his true dream has always been.
Determination defines the spirit of ‘My Hero Academia’
Deku’s dream was never to become the world’s most powerful hero, but rather a figure capable of inspiring others. In the future depicted by the anime, Izuku Midoriya serves as a teacher at U.A. Academy, a role from which he motivates new generations. This goal is consistent with his journey and the admiration he has always felt for All Might.
