Comments like these just proves that the fanbase is toxic as fuck, ending was fantastic and I'm happy for Deku.
Shit like this is why nobody likes y'all....well this and the literal frog fucking and suicides
Thinking an ending is shit doesn't equal toxicity. Frankly what's more toxic is people like you who think this kind of shit writing is acceptable.

the conclusion is not satisfying, it might just need one more chapter, wish the anime could give more satisfying ending

I'm fine with him losing One for all. But I'm not fine with him not doing absolutely everything in his power to keep being a hero, seeing how much the story wanted us to believe that no one wanted it more than he does and that no one was better suited for it (With the whole, my body moved before I could think thing).

I'm fine with him being a teacher, he's probably an amazing teacher. But I'm not fine with him immediately dropping it to become a hero again as soon as he got the mech suit, proving that that's what he actually wanted and that he once again, just like One for all, was gifted the opportunity to be a hero instead of taking action himself to fix a suit.

They could've easilyyyy cooked up a narrative that he got handed that suit as a graduation present at UA, funded by the government or some billionaire(s) as a thank you gift for saving the world and no one would've complained about that. Not a single human would've had a problem with that and thought "WOAH isn't that like super super expensive??? That should take at least 6 years to save money for!!! He should just chill and become a teacher instead."

I'm fine with him not actively being the no.1 hero in the end. I'm not fine with the story telling us from day 1 that he was gonna become the greatest hero, for it to just turn out to be "Well, he was the greatest and most important hero at one particular moment in time and it inspired a lot of people, so it technically counts!"

That's not what the story was promising and wanted us to believe was gonna happen. Everyone thought and possibly wanted that he was gonna become the next Allmight, or some variation of it. Being the greatest hero and saving everyone with a smile was all he wanted since he was a kid and there's no real reason to subvert those expectations. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it, but prefer hindsight apologizing for the writing and trying to make sense of it.

I'm fine with not getting a love interest-conclusion, it's not necessary in the first place. I'm not fine with them spoon feeding us hints like 200 times throughout the story that Deku and Uraraka was in love with each other and would be a great couple. It's both lazy and dishonest to create a plot thread and invest that many hints to it if you're gonna abandon it.

I'm fine with class A not seeing each other regularly after graduating, it makes perfect sense as people grow up, move somewhere and become more busy. I'm not fine with that depressing conversation with Aizawa implying that Deku is feeling lonely and misses his friends. MHA was always a positive (to the point of being naive) and inspiring story. It took very few risks, like having extremely few character deaths relative to its violence and stakes. I usually like bittersweet endings, but not when it doesn't fit the story it's wrapping up AT ALL.

WHY go for something bittersweet and depressing in the very last chapter when you've almost never done it before? What's the point of that? In a story like this, readers deserve to have their expectations met and be rewarded for the time they've spent following this from start to finish. And more importantly, Deku, who sacrificed the greatest power in the World, to save the World, deserved as positive of an ending as possible imo. And 99% of people probably would've been happy with that.

Anyways, thank you for reading my wall of text. Have a nice day!

I'm kinda confused by the comments. You guys disappointed? Okay, fine. (Like seriously guys, calm the fuck down)
But I think you guys are kinda missing the point. Our MC starts quirkless and is trying everything to get one, despite the odds. And it ends with him finally accepting the cards he was dealt, as in he can contribute to the world in other ways. It's a nice way to book end our MC. Just find it funny that this ending, while far from perfect, really outs all the petulant tourists in the community. LOL
CASE IN POINT: LOOK AT THE OLD LADY. YOU DON'T NEED SUPER POWERS TO LEND A HAND TO A FELLOW HUMAN BEING. JUST DOING THAT TO A SOUL WHO REALLY NEEDS IT WILL MAKE YOU A SUPER HERO TO THAT PERSON.

Man, I wonder if TTGL got this much hate from its ending? Or Full Metal Alchemist?

Shippers and OP-ers aside, he’s teaching and inspiring the next generation. That’s always the type of hero he was supposed to be. Also the ”everyone can be a hero, too” angle was a major theme as well.
I don’t know what TTGL is, but no, no one was mad at the FMA ending because it was well written(and Ed didn’t get fucking ghosted by all his friends for 8 years). In the first place Ed’s goal wasn’t to be the greatest Alchemist, it was a means to an end which he achieved, then moved on to create a happy family. Even if Ed had his alchemy his life wouldn’t be that different. Deku had to settle for some plan b because what he really wanted was out of reach.

i currently still talking to someone who use exact same argument. "but they have terrible childhood". ok, does that mean their action to murder innocent people less bad? wtf
Overly idealistic people are just like that. insufferable.

This sucks. If they were going to spend, what was it, 70 chapters on the final battle alone, they shouldn't have been afraid to give us an extra 10 or so chapters of epilogue to wrap up everything, instead of this copout timeskip.

I can almost understand not wanting to go into shipping and pissing off people whose preferred ship didn't win. But what about other stuff? Why is Deku lonely at the end?

You're telling me after all that, there's no conversation or changed laws around power usage? Everyone still has to either get a hero license or kick rocks?

Admittedly Deku kind of deserved to lose his powers, though it's still a shame because he could've passed them on to someone more worthy. What was the point of trying to give the villain impromptu therapy? Just kill the bastard before he can do more damage! He risked everything, the fate of the entire world, because... what? He wanted a mass murdering terrorist to be happy in his final moments? Holy fucking scope insensitivity. I'm kinda sick of stories that pretend that if you ever have to make a hard call, you just didn't try hard enough to find another way. They gotta start teaching these UA kids about the trolley problem.

edit: I forgot about the quirk singularity background plot - that was just dropped apparently?

Toxic positivity, as they say. Like Deku.
Genuine question: has there ever been a popular, longstanding manga where the ending was unanimously considered good/not all that divisive?
Unanimous is a big ask across 8 billion human beings in the world, but good endings are very possible. Delicious in Dungeon wasn't that long ago. Heck, in this very fandom, the Vigilantes spinoff did almost everything better, especially the ending.
It's funny how much hate "My Hero Academia" has gotten lately, and people seem to enjoy reading it to the end to say it's bad.
Sometimes we're just thinking, "Well, I've read this far, so I may as well read the last bit."
Shit like this is why nobody likes y'all....well this and the literal frog fucking and suicides
...what.

First thought: Vigilantes came and went and covered every single theme and societal issue, along with what it means to be weak and powerless in a society of super powers while trying to be a hero in spite of that, what it means to be a villain, and even exploring the psychology of someone manipulated and abused from their earliest years to be the weapon of All For One... And it did it with 300 less chapters than MHA had.

Second thought: The thing that frustrates me most is that this series had a strong foundation and premise that could have been great (or at least agreeably decent) as a whole, but it fumbled a lot of things way too often. Whether it was accidental or on purpose or forced by some editorial decision or because Horikoshi overworked himself, the outcome is still trying and failing to write sympathetic villains, or to portray a society meaningfully struggling with injustices caused by quirks, or to write an internally consistent power system, or to have Deku behave as an intelligent and analytical character (instead of someone who bashes himself against a problem until he's a bloody, mangled pulp), and so on, etc, etc.
