My Hero Academia: An Ending Where Deku Didn’t Lose His Power
Dear Listeners!
You may have heard that upon the ending of the grand story of heroes versus villains, Deku had given up his powers to save Shigaraki, graduated UA Academy having reverted to a quirkless kid, never became a pro-hero, and ended up as a teacher in UA Academy, whereas for the past 8 years, his friends have scoured the heights as Japan’s top pro heroes.
What if I told you that this is…not true?
What if I told you that the real ending is one where Deku got to save Shigaraki without losing his powers?
If you believe me, that there is such an ending, then listener, read on. This is the story of how Deku became the greatest hero in the world!
***
The time has come to part ways with One For All.
Deku remembers that fateful day he first met All Might, the day the number 1 hero told him that, despite him being quirkless, “You can become a hero.”
That day, he remembered his mom’s despairing cries as she held him tight, apologising profusely, because to his question of “Mom, can I still be a hero?” her unsaid answer was “No, Izuku, you can’t possibly become a hero.”
For years, Deku could only hold on to the thinnest thread of hope that by some miraculous turn of events, he could somehow become a hero. That unrealistic plea for a miracle was his salvation, the reason he could look forward to the unknown future despite bearing deep, scaring sadness that he is quirkless, and the ever looming reality waiting to slap him every once in a while, that he won’t ever become a hero.
He never would’ve guessed that All Might would not only tell him otherwise, but All Might would also transfer his powerful quirk to him, now putting him on the path of a bright future as what he’s always dreamed of all his life – a hero.
So when Deku realised that the only way to save Shigaraki was by transferring all his powers to Shigaraki, Deku would be lying if he said he didn’t feel the crippling fear of again being reduced to a quirkless nobody crawling back up his mind.
“Saving Shigaraki – give it up Izuku, some people out there, they just can’t be saved.” Screamed one of the previous holders of One for All.
“Izuku! Your only option is to annihilate Shigaraki in a single blow, leaving nothing behind!” Cried Nana Shimura, the 7th holder of One for All as well as the biological grandmother of Shigaraki Tomura, “Accept that fact! Bear it Izuku! Just charge up for a strike even mightier than before!”
To defeat Shigaraki, yes, perhaps it would be enough to land the mightiest blow ever known to man on the mega villain who has annihilated countless innocent lives just because ... just because of what exactly?
In that split second, Deku remembers the words Shigaraki spat, full of hatred, “You heroes ignored those you couldn’t protect…and swept all those pain under the rag, laughing around ignorantly, like there is no one you could save!”
And in the second that follows, a thought was reignited in Deku’s mind, it rang resolutely, clearly, kindly. “I want to save that little boy!” Without room for any further thoughts to form in Deku’s blazing thoughts, despite his fear being ever so present, ever so frightening, but wholeheartedly pushed back to the furthest parts of his mind, Deku drew the biggest breath he ever did and from the bottom of his heart screamed out his unwavering resolution, “No! I have to ask why he can’t let go…of that sad lonely past of his! All he did was put a lid on it. So until that lid shatters to pieces,” full of tears, Deku resolutely casts his eyes straight at Shigaraki, “I won’t stop smashing at it!”
And so he did. Deku gave up his power to save Shigaraki. And by saving Shigaraki, Deku had stopped Shigaraki’s destruction of the world.
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, Deku in his entire being was thankful to have been able to reach Shigaraki and saved his heart out of the pits of despair, his fear never disappeared and tore at Deku’s heart. Deku had saved Shigaraki, but his heart was screaming in raw pain. His entire being knew that he had just lost the fire in his being.
And so Deku fell to his knees and couldn’t stop sobbing. Those little sobs turned into gushes of tears, and Deku was tearing up in anguish. His dreams of becoming a hero, gone just like that.
Deku hadn’t noticed that a pair of calmed gentle eyes had noticed his pains, his thoughts full of realisation. This person had seen what Deku’s powers mean to him. Despite his powers meaning the world to Deku, he was willing to give up his power, his everything just to save him. Shigaraki was saved. Deku had saved Shigaraki. Shigaraki remembered that once, he had wished with all his heart to become a hero. And so, his hand reached towards Deku.
And in that moment, Deku could feel someone’s warm hands on his head, as if trying to comfort him, but with every stroke, Deku could feel his fire back in his soul, as if…as if his powers were coming back to him. Impossible.
Immediately, Deku shot up, shocked, how can this be. But there Shigaraki was, transferring his power back to him, why, Deku couldn’t believe it. So Shigaraki told him why, with his eyes now full of salvation,
You looked like you were asking for help…
That day, on that battleground, the sky was not the only thing that cleared up.
Even years later, no one could’ve foreseen that Deku’s decision to not only defeat Shigaraki but to save him as well would not only end up saving the people of that time and place, but also the people in the coming times. Because when Shigaraki returned Deku’s powers to him, he not only returned One for All, Shigaraki also restored the power that it originally was, a power that was finally reunited with All for One, revealing the true potential of the power that had been separated for the longest of times, the power to lend a helping hand to those in need, the power of a hero.
With the true form of his powers unleashed, Deku continued to grow, and continued to help many people all over the world, without ever forgetting the true essence of what makes a hero, what made him the hero who wields both the One for All and All for One which made all of that possible, making him the number 1 hero across the world.
Listeners, this would not have happened if Deku simply chose to defeat Shigaraki. This was possible because Deku chose to defeat and save Shigaraki, who saw that Deku was truly doing the things Deku promised he would, that Deku was truly a hero.
The decision to save Shigaraki came at the price of something that was most precious to Deku. But Deku chose to sacrifice that in order to help Shigaraki, and hey, that’s the point from the beginning isn’t it.
What makes a hero?
A hero is someone who lives up to the spirit of self-sacrifice, just like that zero pointer gimmick machine at the beginning of the series. There is absolutely no benefit from defeating that robot, but that is where the true essence of a hero rises to the surface, the spirit of self-sacrifice, of heroism.
So with his powers restored, Deku went on to become the number 1 pro hero in the world, because he had the powers to back him up in his endeavors. But, know this. From the moment Deku battled Shigaraki and decided to cast away all his dreams and sacrifice his future to save Shigaraki, Deku from that moment and onwards, had already become the greatest hero who showed true heroism values with his actions.
Because as promised, this is the story of how Deku became the greatest hero in the world!
*** Note: I've loved BNHA since its launch 10 years ago. Now I am a corporate lawyer with barely enough time to indulge anymore! But when I heard that BNHA was ending, I knew that I just had to pick it up again. After finishing the manga, I knew that I just had to write something about my favorite series.
But I have to first say upfront that I can see the beauty of the ending that Kohei Horikoshi chose for us and I respect that he decided that Deku ultimately losing his powers (and eventually becoming a hero 8 years later as a mecha-warrior) was the best ending he could’ve given us for his highly loved popular series.
Please consider my writing not as a mockery of the original ending, but as an enthusiastic fan’s take on the series. I hope you enjoyed reading this entry as much as I loved writing it!
how the shigaraki chase deku scene in s6 should have been
when i read the part in the manga when deku realized that it was him that shigaraki was after, and the dread that he felt looking around all the others who could be caught in the crossfire, this is how I've always imagined the scene to turn out in the anime, with katakiuchi as the soundtrack
because it didn't, i decided to do it myself
(for personal enjoyment lol)

"You're no longer here by my side, I'm well aware of that. Even so, I glanced back once more, thinking that you called out to me. I want to be by your side, not anyone else's. For you're irreplaceable in my heart, forever and always."

I just wanna say i love the complex emotions in hq
Listening to this I remember the scene where yams shouted to tsuki that being invested in volley, “What else do you need but pride?!!!”
Yams is a pretty easy going guy so it’s unexpected that his reason to play is that he doesnt wanna be uncool
And to my pleasant surprise, tsuki the prideful guy, does not agree with yams. He goes on to ask bokuto, whose answer, surprisingly, tsuki agrees with.
It’s that feeling of enjoyment that gets you hooked up in volleyball. Tsuki does not particularly care if hes the best, since he knows it’s not realistic. So what he finds relatable is the everfleeting feeling of, “hooked up.”
Thats deep, and tsuki’s the rational man

Time to give back to the industry!
Hoshiai no Sora was set up to fail. Making them broadcast only half the planned story is already a poor start, but also I've hardly seen any promotion for it compared to other seasonal shows and it's also not available on streaming services in a lot of countries. It sucks, because every episode for me was sensational, the issue was it only had 12, which now makes sense as it was meant for more, and yet I don't know how to support it because it's not legally available on any platform where I live
SOMEONE SAID IT.
I honestly share the same sentiment. Hoshiai no Sora goes against every single standard set by the anime industry in order to milk money from adult audiences, and the director has been making it veeeery clear from the start that he didn’t want to make a conventional anime and he’s strictly against relying on fanservice and stuff like that. He basically rebels against the current situation of the anime industry and wants young animators to follow that example. But the problem with letting someone like that succeed is that the industry would have to change and a lot of stuff would stop selling or start selling really bad, and they don’t want that now, do they?
There’s a way to support it. They’re making a campaign, apparently in order to gain the opportunity to make a sequel. It’s going on both on Twitter and in the official site. I’m gonna post details about it later, but basically, they’re asking for people’s feedbacks on the series. It doesn’t have to be in Japanese, I think.
PLEASE TWEET TO THEM, Y’ALL.

😂❤️
Rin being mom to Yukio
“Oh dear, won’t your nutrition go all wrong with junk like that?”
“I’m okay mommy.”
so cute 🥺💕
I love how rin being good at cooking isnt just some kind of added extra to have rin be good at something or like a random comic relief
theres truly a meaningful reason behind it
we understand that even as a child rin already had a lot of strength so he often unintentionally scared or hurt people
this was due to rin’s demonic heritage. shiro wanted to do something about it, he worries what would happen if rin was unable to control his powers.
“wont you use your strengths for a gentler purpose?
that’s why shiro decided to teach rin how to cook. because it can help rin manage his powers while reinforcing in him the value of compassion.
in chapter 12, the reason why he finally decided to use his flames in trade of his secret was so that he could use his powers to protect his friends. “I also want to use my flames in an act of kindness.”
he had this instilled in him from a very young age. cooking wasnt just a random thing, it’s there for a reason. to teach him that his powers could have purpose to it when he uses it to do kindness for others
“because cooking is mental and physical. he needs to learn to control his strength...and to think about who he’s doing it for.”
all along, cooking had its beautiful purpose in rin’s life 😭❤️
The Look in Shiro’s Eyes
shiro was cold hearted and saw the world with hatred and anger in his eyes
but now the look in his eyes has changed
“When I look at them, it’s more than worth it.”
rin giving yukio a huge portion of rice because he worries about yukio not eating enough
🥺😭
Regarding the Amazon Rainforest
I barely have followers here, but here we go:
The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:
The deforestation has increased 80% since last year
The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)
The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy
Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety
The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.
We are hostages or our own government
I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.
Please don't let this go unseen. Search for yourself, talk to people about it, make noise, be angry and be scared. Let the world know about it and demand action. This is not about Brazil, is about the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important biomes in the world, being responsible for the climate, rains, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and life itself.
