My Hero Academia Cast React to the Manga’s Ending

My Hero Academia Cast React to the Manga's Ending

As I read these heartfelt messages from Daiki Yamashita (Deku’s voice actor), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Bakugo’s voice actor), and Yuki Kaji (Todoroki’s voice actor), I can’t help but feel a profound sense of admiration for their dedication to their craft. These actors have breathed life into the characters we’ve come to love, and in doing so, they’ve become an integral part of our own heroic journey with My Hero Academia.


The conclusion of “My Hero Academia” has arrived, leaving us in disbelief. It’s hard to believe that this remarkable series began in “Weekly Shonen Jump” less than a decade ago, penned by Kohei Horikoshi. Back then, we had no idea the impact it would have. In no time at all, the superhero tale took off like a rocket, and its anime catapulted Izuku Midoriya to unimaginable heights. Now, with the manga wrapped up, the team behind “My Hero Academia” is expressing their thoughts on this monumental ending.

Looking at what’s presented here, it appears that every star following Class 1-A has penned heartfelt letters to Horikoshi, expressing gratitude for his work. These messages contain kind words not only from Horikoshi’s colleagues like those portraying All Might, Eraserhead, and others but the entire cast of My Hero Academia. As the manga’s end approaches, these actors have banded together to express their affection for the series. If you’re curious about what they had to say in their touching letters, feel free to read them below:

As a devoted fan, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your tireless dedication, Horikoshi-sensei. Since I find it challenging to articulate my feelings like Miyake, I’ll use the words of All Might to convey what I mean: “When I learned that our story was reaching its conclusion, I found myself accepting it with surprising ease. If I can see the end goal, then I’ll continue pushing forward until I reach it. I’ll keep fighting. I have a lot more life ahead of me.” With deepest respect, I present these works to you, Horikoshi-sensei.

As the mastermind behind My Hero Academia, Horikoshi-sensei breathed life into this captivating world and its characters, but I couldn’t help but fear they might shrink away until vanishing altogether. However, in the latter stages of the series, the story arcs were brimming with vibrancy that left me completely spellbound. Each time I turned a page and delved into fresh narratives, my concerns seemed to dissipate like smoke in the wind. Here’s hoping Horikoshi-sensei will continue to guide Ochaco on her journey towards becoming a hero who can rescue heroes herself. Thank you for your dedication and tireless efforts on this remarkable series – may the anime team and I remain under your watchful eye as we dream, walk, and strive!
