Here's his translated interview answers from new art exhibition pamphlet.

>Question: Chapter 431 focuses on Deku and Ochako. In My Hero Academia, there wasn't much focus on romance, was there any reason for that?

>Horikoshi: Instead of wanting to portray romance in the story, I just wanted to show the contrast between Ochako and Toga with their views on love. Since romance is a very strong stimulus, as soon as you include it into the story, that's all anyone is going to talk about, so I deliberately avoided adding it to the story.

>However, since the setting of the series is at school after all, it would be rather dishonest to completely ignore romance, so it was pretty hard to think of a balance.

>Thankfully, since Deku was always doing other things, he was unaware of any romantic feelings, and it turned out to be a good thing for me [since Horikoshi didn't want to include romance in the main plot].

>However, when Chapter 394 came around, the topics [discussed by Toga and Ochako] did touch upon that stimulus called love, so I knew that it would be strange to not follow up on that point later in the story, which is why I chose to write about it.

>>279922567
>I never thought that romance would go well with the theme of the story of My Hero Academia, which is "to save and be saved," nor would it make sense to include it in "the story of how we all became Heroes." So that's why I decided to touch upon it in an epilogue, like a postscript of sorts.

>However, rather than depicting romance itself, I wanted to depict love in a form as part of something even greater, but I wonder how it turned out?

we're all in the same boat, guys. don't strongarm each other into shipping the same thing. and definitely don't strongarm the author himself

I really like My Hero Academia. I'm not ashamed

I for one think not every shonen needs to end with the main character having a son that is a tiny version of hiself.

>>279921348 (OP)
The funniest part is that hori clearly doesn't give a fuck which makes me wonder if the editors forced the "hints". It also doesn't make sense considering cape shit and especially spider man which he is so fond of has romance sub plots.

>>279923098
Overall I liked it but is not that I have very strong feels about it.
My main issue is that it felt kind of "short" to be such a big thing.

May be its just other big manga were too big and too long. But BNHA really felt short to me. Like it was barelly a few arcs and was already over. Didn't feel almost eternal like other big battle manga which you pretty much lived your life with them.

Overall shonentards tend to treat art as databook. So everything needs to be explained in details otherwise they lose their minds.

>>279921348 (OP)
At least we can all agree Ochaco is hot. I hope that this manga's legacy is more anime girls with bodies like Ochaco.

>>279924403
The only reason I want a sequel is so we can have a MILF Ochaco who had several kids and has considerable more chubb while still being sexy.
One of the kids of course being a reincarnated Toga, that's a given.

Ichigo and the orange bitch literally popped out kids and rukiafags still think rukia can win, the average manga reader has no braincells and can't parse romance

>>279926502
In many regards, this manga is exactly what i wanted from bnha.

>>279926558
Well it's basically a X-Men Manga but I get wanting to mix western heroes with Naruto
The problem was that MHA had so many fucking characters that they never took the time to make you care for them, then after the Liberation Army arc MHA got the sane editor as Samurai 8 who proceeded to make the Manga even worse

>>279926217
>She
no fucking way

>>279921348 (OP)
I know a lot of people hate on Hori for the ending, but I actually like it. He knows he didn't properly develop this pairing to justify them being married in the end so he didn't give us such an asspull. They are two young adults who clearly have mutual feelings, and will more than likely end up together. Maybe he doesn't want to say anything yet because the ending is still fresh, but give it some time, he may confirm that they're dating in an interview one day.

>>279925213
This was a different situation, Asuka already lost to Yubel.

>>279921348 (OP)
I don't get why Deku starts off as the kind of guy who'd have a dorky crush on a girl but Ochako is the one who catches feelings and struggles with them.

>>279926352
He is pretty much a victim in that story, Ochacho settling for him after riding the cock carousel for several years like a modern woman.

>>279926881
Im just coping that it is being saved for a future movie that takes place years later or a possible sequel.

>>279923213
because you're getting older. MHA ran for 10 years almost to the day but that was only a quarter of my life, but Bleach ran for what was a little over a third of it at the time, And other stuff almost half depending on how you look at it

>>279927110
What the hell are you talking about? Yubel is obviously the Toga of that situation. Being trapped in judai's head, after all.

If you have never been in love, of course. But anyone who had even a one-sided crush, knows these two are in love and are an item after the end. You have to be incredibly obtuse or dense to deny it.
>B-but handshake
>B-but no kiss
TV has brainwashed you, I assure you, the last thing you are gonna do when you and your crush accept each other, is kiss. And if it happens, it's gonna be the awkward kiss mankind has seen. That's if both of you are in love. Grown up anon, love can be found, you just need to be a bit brave and not be afraid of getting hurt if shit goes south, you can do it.

And is clear you have never been in a relationship or in love.no offense mate.
Is really forced out, loves dies after a few months alone and how many years passed without seeing each other.... oh yeah 7 fucking years.
even your panel.
>Deku remembers shigaraki and his words of "do your best".

how does that equal they love each other, unless mentally impaired virgin fag i don't see it.
was in love of girl it lasted around 6 months and then stopped feeling something for her.

100 IQ would be genius level under current IQ standard post 2015, sadly most are retards, mentally impared, or however you want to call it.
normal IQ post 2015 is 85 to 95 currently with post 90 being genius (have you noticed how they say boruto is a genius despite he is retard 90 IQ) if you are from 1980 then i understand why you said that since the standard IQ up to then was 95 to 110.

>>279929082

>>279929216
it would be gay if ochaco was doing HJ to the other guys before she did that.

>>279921348 (OP)
lol it has more implication of them getting together than ranma and akane, or even sakura and sasuke at least.
But again people are so desperate for their ships to be canon they'll take an illustration of a wedding with no story arc or anything attached or a couple getting together with a baby without never officially kissing on screen and the father leaving for years kek

>>279921348 (OP)
Anyone who thinks this ending isn't delivering romance doesn't know shonen manga very well. Just look at cyborg 009. They didn't get a real ending until three decades after the original manga run. A decade and a half after the original author died based on his drafts.

>>279922824
>The untranslated final line is pretty vague and can have different intrepretation.
What's the line?

>>279929552
it isn't delivering that

>>279921348 (OP)
I mean, they obviously got together, no? I admit the eight-year gap is weird, but the epilogue basically flat-out stated that.

I get the implication of romance with gay things like guts and griffith or kaworu and shinji, but with straight couples it just comes across as emotionally stuck

>>279929459
are you feminist/woman or fag because is clear from your opinion you are underage, woman and fat!!.
you have seen to much faggot shit it seems and have never seen or experimented love in your life once (otherwise you will understand).
Even ranma had scenes with more skinship then grabbing hands and remember ranma and akane are 16 years, but deku and ochaco are grown fully adults so that kind of shitty ending is fagotry at next level.

>>279921348 (OP)
Why do they have snouts?

>>279929685
it didn't state shit, check last page >>279929199
and you see something weird.
>two grown adults reaching their 30s.
>don't do anything at all.
>just a weird greeting and nothing else.
let's compare that to other anime with characters from that age.... wait they all start fucking and kissing the moment they reunite again but here we don't get that.

That turned out to be complete horseshit.

I don't understand why it's so hard for you to accept Deku having a girlfriend

>>279933655
he didn't get one >>279929835

>>279931206
Ishida seems to take relationships between his characters very seriously. In choujin it's an important part of their arc, and you absolutely cannot half-ass it, so he spends time to outline and develop them all.
Right now, Ely is about to do a huge mistake because she's angry Azuma got hurt.

Tanking your manga so bad that everyone regrets reading it to the point where your new series flops badly? Hori can still make money off fujoshit tears by just having Deku and Bakugou standing next to each other whereas I don't think anyone gives a fuck about TG anymore
