You can become a hero

"What the hell is he doing...? If he can't win, he should retreat and wait for reinforcements... He knows it better than anyone. He knows he can't be like All Might. That's why he gave up early and went crazy... Leaving the unwanted child alone, driving his mother into despair... Just give up and run away..."

"Summer... There are things you can understand but can't accept, right? He didn't give up. That person is the most persistent of all."

"The absence of a symbol. This is the absence of a symbol...!!"

"Don't talk nonsense!! Where are you looking and talking from, TV! Look at that. The flames are still rising. You can see it, right?! Endeavor is alive and fighting!! Don't despair just because the symbol isn't there!"

"That's too intense. Stop it. Let's just run away."

"Who's the man risking his life for us right now?! Look!!"

"We return to the aerial footage. Oh, a black villain is... Oh!! Head to the evacuation site!! Ah, it's chasing them! But it's chasing them. Endeeavorrrr!!!!"

"Do you also have the ability to regenerate?"

...Don't lump me in with you. My body can't move anymore!! Push this unmoving body with firepower. I'm grateful! The pain keeps me conscious. I won't fall! With these dimming eyes, find the opportunity to win! Increase the firepower!! More!! Even more!!...

"That's what I'm talking about."

...Endeavor-san! My wings don't have enough destructive power. But in terms of speed, we're equals. I know because I've been watching...

...No one truly aimed to surpass you. You were the only one seriously trying to surpass...

..."No way... how clumsy can you be? This person."...

...I already sent my feathers ahead. I'll combine my feathers (speed) with your firepower. I'll support you from behind, No. 1!!...

Jump issue 31 review of My Hero Academia Chapter 189: Why He Kept Standing

My Hero Academia (HeroAca) concluded on August 5, 2024.

I am gripped by a sense of emptiness since the conclusion of Haikyuu!! on July 20, 2020.

An aspect of my daily life, which was always there for ten years, has ended once again.

What is your favorite part of HeroAca?

For me, it's the above chapter from volume 21, the final episode of season 4 of the anime, "Why He Kept Standing."

HeroAca has sold over 100 million copies worldwide, making it a "billion-plus series."

In the historical sales ranking, it's 13th, and the only currently serialized series selling more than HeroAca is One Piece.

It seems that the author, Horikoshi, did not intend it, but the work, adhering to the "Shonen Jump's royal road," was probably the only one seriously trying to surpass One Piece.

Without HeroAca, Jujutsu Kaisen wouldn't have started. Congratulations on the completion...

Jujutsu Kaisen author: Gege Akutami

Thank you for the ten years of HeroAca! It's a pride of my life to have shared the same magazine with you...

Sakamoto Days author: Yuto Suzuki

I was a high school student at the time. I still remember the feeling after reading volume 17. Mirio’s OFA 100% hit. Legendary!!

Kagurabachi author: Takeru Hokazono

The way I read Jump is, I first check the first page for goods and event information, then read the author's comments at the end of the magazine.

In the Jump released yesterday, all the authors' comments were messages to Horikoshi, the author of HeroAca, who had completed his series.

I've seen the conclusion of many series in Jump, but this is the first time all the authors' comments were directed at the completing author.

For the first time, reading those comments, tears fell from my eyes.

"Can I become one too?"

"I'm sorry."

...No, that's not it. That's not it, Mom. What I wanted to hear at that time was...

Izuku Midoriya's heroic charm explained through psychology! Introducing cool scenes too

"Can someone without a quirk become a hero? Can a person without a quirk become like you?"

"You can become a hero."

Amazon.co.jp: My Hero Academia Iconic Scene Art Board: You Can...

The conversation between Izuku Midoriya and his mother during his childhood, and the words exchanged between middle schooler Midoriya and All Might.

Believing in these words, even now, I aim to become a hero.

However, the true charm of HeroAca lies not only in the pure and innocent story depicted above, nor in the narratives of the villains like in Demon Slayer, but in the psychological depiction of those who are saved, those who feel frustration and humiliation, and those who were not chosen, which were not portrayed in previous manga.

"I'll take five Kacchan acrylic stands."

"Three Bakugo badges, please."

These are the voices of fans seeking goods at JUMP SHOP.

If you haven't encountered HeroAca yet, please watch the first and second episodes of the anime.

Surely, you will be captivated by the quirkless Izuku Midoriya (Deku).

And you'll probably have negative feelings towards Bakugo Katsuki (Kacchan) for his harsh treatment of Deku.

But I assure you.

The more you watch the anime and read the manga, the more you will favor Bakugo (Kacchan).

In the eight character popularity polls held so far, except for the first one, Bakugo (Kacchan) has always been ranked first.

You can hear the coolest voice of Okamoto, who plays Yuu Nishinoya from Haikyuu!!, Sengo from Horimiya, and Himmel from Frieren, as Bakugo (Kacchan).

"If your idea of admiration is right, then does that mean my admiration was wrong?"

"It's that attitude of seriously trying to surpass me, as if you're looking down on everything, that's annoying!!!"

These are Bakugo's words to Deku. Please translate them into English.

Here is the translation of Bakugo's words to Deku:

"If your idea of admiration is right, then does that mean my admiration was wrong?"

"It's that attitude of seriously trying to surpass me, as if you're looking down on everything, that's annoying!!!"
