atp i feel so frustrated at the epilogue for fumbling every aspect that mha discussed ever. Like i can understand if you want to make the already known to be ship canon but to make it happen like what 431 did…. I can understand if hori intentions was to shut down queer ppl but also you already have so much time before the epilogue to do so??? Even 429 was shit like we could had them two opens up but instead izuku continue to never opening up… up until 431 all hori did was to promote bkdk further even after the manga ended the art contest and gsony (i think that is their name?)art in them sakura petals THATS SCREAM LOVE and then after all that we had 431 and that’s what confuses me. Like wow hori even the art contest you are fujobaiting ppl😕😕 (sorry I’m rambling but I’m still so mad abt 431)

i understand your frustration, anon :( although i wouldn't really calling it fujobaiting, it still sucks that izuku and katsuki's relationship was lauded again and again, only for it to be implied that it wasn't special after all? or maybe it is (or was?) special, it's just that in this new phase of their lives, it's not the focus anymore.

and i agree. izuku and ochako's relationship wasn't as developed as with their rival/villain. i think horikoshi's aware of that, and that's why their conclusion is that they'll "talk more" (they'll hang out more -> deepen their relationship -> romance but this time built on steadier ground).

my gripe is WHY DOES THAT HAVE TO BE OFF-SCREEN? their relationship had little to no development until the final arc and this epilogue. they should have had more in all of the arcs!

this decision sabotages their individual characters and their other relationships.

i hate it. i hate it so much.
