I think Hori should write or just do art for Marvel for a little bit before he starts his next thing. Selfishly, I would love to see Hori doing art for ASM or USM

Yeah, it made sense when afo died against bakugou because he was trying to be respectful to the man who he believed did help him. But here it's just icky

Damn. Feels crazy that the battle is finally over, but I also appreciate it not getting dragged out. That said... on an immediate reaction way, that felt very mild and just not as exciting as the last two chapters or so. Just didn't hit me emotionally like I was hoping. I like the seemingly definitive end to All For One, but I'm shocked Shigaraki is gone too. That sucks for him and also feels unsatisfying from a character perspective. He got to "fight back," sure, that's great. But... just to vanish right after? Don't think I like that. And I wouldn't have minded him dying anyway, but it feels wrong how it's done so quickly like this.
I like that this part of the fight though, was a final rally of 1-A pushing Deku forward, each student getting a brief moment to contribute in a cool way. It reminds me of... I think movie 2, maybe? Or movie 1. But also Advent Children, lol. It's cool. Especially love Bakugo showing up in this chapter and telling Deku to not allow him to surpass him.
Hopefully the epilogue will last a while. Not quite ready to say goodbye just yet. 😭

Since it's my birthday today, I'm allowing myself a little bit of self-promotion:
I've actually started writing this story: git good. The premise is absurd, but it's been fun so far!

That scene from Gran Torino will be one of the most devious set-ups I've ever seen in literature writing. Just what the fuck was that. How the least preferable outcome narratively, not morally and not ethically, but the option that was clearly being presented as the worse one was the one that we got in the optimistic superhero shonen. Why did we even spend all that time discoursing about villain rehabilitation lmao.
Oh well, hopefully the rest of the ending will be good.

the other LoV members will probably be rehabilitate but yeah now that GT scene doesn't make sense because on one hand Deku didn't technically kill Shigaraki, nothing really came from his attempt to save him except almost losing his powers
idk man, I can see Spinner being alive especially since we see his scales this chapter on a tray likely from their removal, but I think Toga and Dabi might just be dead. I honestly don't even know any more.
the spinner panel is paired with the Ochako and Todoroki so we'll probably see the aftermath of those storylines, and I can't see one of them dying while the others survived or all of them dying, since those aren't really the notes to end those storylines
Comment from Hori per Rukasu:
"Writing conventions say that the conclusion of a story should be short, but this is not the type of manga that can immediately end after the fighting is done, so I'll keep going for a little while. We're going back to the title"
So ten chapters left based on the volume?

Bro knows good and well he doesn't have a volumes worth of interesting content left
Watch it go the Naruto route and we'll get Deku vs Bakugo Part 3
The fact that so many stories across all mediums tend to stop rather than end is one of my biggest media pet peeves.
I don't think we necessarily need 10 chapter of wrap up - .maybe 5/6
There is also the possibility we will get an extra long final chapter

I could see 10 more, depending on how it's handled. Nothing plot heavy, just people talking. There's a lot to go over.
If MHA ends on this volume, there would be roughly 7-8 chapters left unless we get extended chapters
My bet:
1 Chapter Wrapping off the Shoto Family Drama, 1 Chapter Wrapping off the Toga/Urakaka Stuff, 4 Chapters dedicated to the Second Festival Arc, 1 Graduation Chapter, 2 Chapters in a post graduation Timeskip with the cast as Adults
Can we all agree that All for One is one of the most shittiest modern Shonen Villains,Muzan was better
IMO the most important thing that needs to be covered in an epilogue arc is changes to hero society especially after Shiggy's odd conclusion
I'm not one of those people who thinks characters have to die for their to be good stakes but I still think it's crazy that he literally had zero hero kills in the final arc despite being present for like 20+ chapters lmao. Dude wasn't just a poor character, he was a genuine BUM
Hori actually saved him at the end for me, I like afo for the most part now that I know what we were going for. Putting him up against bakugou was so good and I liked his stuff in the previous chapter. The Shiggy stuff sucked and the afo stuff was good for me. What universe am I in
I personally hated those deaths, none of those deaths really elevated his character for me, AFO at least had a good backstory chapter and did more than just spam one attack
AFO, Muzan, and Demon King from 7DS, the unholy trinity
Nah, what those 3 have in common beyond sucking is that they all took forever to be defeated
Kaguya is a different type of lame 😌
I admit I'm curious, but does anyone here think that the final arc of Jujutsu Kaisen is much worse than the last arc of My Hero Academia?
In terms of story, use of characters and art, I think the ending of MHA is better than Jujutsu
