My Hero Academia volume 42 extra pages showcase Deku enjoying life with his friends
The final chapter of My Hero Academia (chapter 430) was released on August 5, 2024. The chapter ended Izuku Midoriya's journey in a bittersweet way, at least according to the fans.
All Might gave the protagonist a new battle suit for his efforts as he continued his journey as a hero with his friends. However, the fans weren't convinced that Izuku could fight anymore given how he spent so many years as a teacher. Moreover, fans also complained about how his friends left Deku alone as his profession was different.
However, My Hero Academia volume 42 extra pages might have proved such claims wrong as they showcased Deku enjoying life with his friends. One panel showed Class 1-A having a party and, as expected, Deku was a part of it. It was also revealed in the extra pages that Deku would be fighting a villain.
Reaction from the fans
As expected, the majority of the fans were in awe of the confirmation from My Hero Academia volume 42. While some didn't even consider the allegations true to begin with, some were just happy that Kohei Horikoshi finished the manga by doing his protagonist justice. This move also had some fans stating that this was because Deku never gave up.
However, some fans weren't happy with the extra chapters as they complained about the original ending (as showcased in chapter 430). They even said that the extra pages were a lame move from the author and he only did because felt like he did something wrong. While the epilogue is a key part of every manga, more details will arrive with the release of the volume.
"So glad it turned out this way" a fan said
"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." another fan said
"Finally those people can shut up about it (it was never true to begin with)" another one said
"Like bro... additional chapter after being roasted. this feels forces LMAO... the main ending should be replace by this and elaborate on this extra chapter.I know creator can change their work but that is lame." another fan claimed
Final thoughts
As of this article's publication, the full content from My Hero Academia chapter 42 extra hasn't been unveiled, but more details are set to come in the future. The full volume might answer a lot of questions the fans had like what Deku's life was like after he became a teacher and other related ones that gave rise to the allegations. So, it is advised to wait for the official release of My Hero Academia volume 42, just to be on the safe side.
