As “My Hero Academia” nears the end of its story, fans are eager to see how some major storylines are resolved, especially the budding romance between Ochaco Uraraka and Izuku Midoriya.
Although the series ended with intense battles against All For One and Tomura Shigaraki, author Kohei Horikoshi announced an extended ending to properly wrap up the story.
This additional time provides an opportunity to address lingering questions and post-war character development.
One of the most anticipated developments is the potential romance between Ochaco and Deku. Throughout the series, fans have speculated about Ochaco's feelings for Deku, which were finally confirmed during her climactic battle with Toga. In an emotional moment,
Ochaco admits her love for Deku, expressing her feelings towards the villain as a means of connection. However, Ochaco has yet to directly express these feelings to Deku, leaving fans in suspense as to whether Deku reciprocates her feelings or is even aware of them.
This unresolved romantic tension is an important theme that needs to be addressed before the series ends. Whether the story ends with a confirmed romance, a hint of a future relationship, or even heartbreak, fans crave closure.
While “My Hero Academia” doesn't focus much on romance, the potential relationship between Ochaco and Deku is important enough to warrant a definitive conclusion.
The ending gives Horikoshi the opportunity to delve deeper into the characters' personal lives and explore how they move forward after the war.
Given the emotional weight and development of Ochaco's emotions, it would be remiss not to see this subplot reach a satisfactory resolution. Fans hope to see if Ochaco will muster the courage to confess her feelings and how Deku will respond, bringing a much-anticipated conclusion to this aspect of the story.
