Even though everyone’s beloved, Deku got his time to shine, there is still much left to be told with this rather unsatisfying ending of the series. However, this latest announcement of the release of the final volume brought an intriguing surprise: an addition of bonus pages!

This surprise has sparked enough enthusiasm within the fandom.

Now, based on some calculations, one can deduce that the final Volume 42 will have almost 60 more pages, which is a huge difference from the original weekly ending. Assuming that half of these pages would carry the manuscript of Horikoshi, it would still have multiple additional chapters!

The final chapter ofMy Hero Academiamanga had a somewhat disappointing conclusion, and many are now left feeling that this final volume would be the last hope in solving their unanswered questions.

I’m still on coping too 🤧

I hope we get Adult Deku some day
The crowd is wishing for closure on characters like Uraraka and also the history of Hisashi Midoriya. Others are hoping to see certain bonus materials to get a deeper look into Kohei Horikoshi’s creative mind. There is also hope that Deku and Uraraka’s relationship will be confirmed and fans will get a glimpse of Deku’s new suit in action.

I hope for a hisashi midoriya reveal in the bonus
Please let one of those extra pages be actual closure for Uraraka.

I’m cautious about thinking we’ll get bonus chapters but sketches, notes, and character sheets feel like a safe bet.I’m hoping for confirmation that Deku and Uraraka are a couple and that we get to see Deku in action with his new suit. I think that alone will give me closure.
However, one should not put blind faith over these extra pages, as they may not be part of the story ofMy Hero Academiaat all! All the extra pages may have nothing to do with the story and maybe just concept art, author’s notes, or whatever else. Thus, the secret to not being disappointed will be to manage expectations and appreciate any bonus content for what it is.
