The author of My Hero Academia answers a very important question that fans had
The central theme of My Hero Academia, beyond the aspirations and dreams of the characters, are gifts or quirks. And these skills are what have helped individuals shape the world and that, for better or worse, directed the entire plot that we knew in the work, starting from All For One and One For All.
Now that we know that the My Hero Academia manga has officially ended, we understand that one of the topics that was left unexplained was the origin of the gifts, which is quite uncomfortable. However, There is another aspect that has been criticized regarding the end of the workbut that Kohei Horikoshi, the creator, has expressed that he does not regret it. Below, we will tell you more details.
Kohei Horikoshi, to the surprise of fans, affirms that he does not regret a highly criticized aspect in the work
Gifts have always been an important topic in the work
As we have mentioned, for better or worse, gifts are a resource that has shaped this world to the point that it is normal to be born with a quirk and the strange thing is to be born without one of these. And throughout the series, we have seen all kinds of special abilitieswhich give individuals powers that seem magical, change their appearance, among other possibilities.
However, as we approached the end of the play, it began to the question arises as to whether we had already seen all the gifts that the author had imagined or if anyone had been left out. Fortunately, Kohei Horikoshi had an interview for Shonen Jump in which this topic was addressed.
While talking about the recently conducted character popularity survey, and in which Bakugo was the winnerthe mangaka was asked if there were any quirks or characters that he wanted to have added, but, in the end, didn't. This can be heard around minute 44.
Faced with this question, and with all the security in the world, the mangaka responded that he does not believe that it was like that. He claims that he never held back and that he used all the peculiarities he wanted, but also to all the characters he needed to use. Even if it was only for a short time on screen, since they fulfilled a specific role.
The author goes on to explain that he feels that the final chapter offers a worthy and complete closure to his work, especially with the extra content in Volume 42. This response was quite blunt and direct.especially because fans questioned whether some characters or powers had been left out.
Quirks in this world play an important role and can alter the course of things. A good example of this is One For All, which is a power that brings together several peculiarities in one and that it can only be inherited voluntarily. This was the power that Deku received from All Might.
The gifts are the central axis of the work and Horikoshi used them as he wanted
We can also see the great progress and development that Deku had with his gift, since, at first, it was only an increase in strength and speed that broke his bones. But towards the end of the play, This had dominated him to the point that he used and took full advantage of all its possibilities.
This implies that gifts are much more complex than simple magical powers, since they have room and scope for improvement and development, as can be seen. see through the main characterswho constantly improve to be more efficient and versatile on the battlefield.
Gifts are a very complex theme in this work, but at least we now know that the author was not left wanting to explore new possibilities or to give more screen time to other characters who perhaps deserved it.
