I'm not going to post the leaks in the main post mainly because it is leaks and not the full pages yet, but I didn't think I could dislike how Horikoshi took the latter portions of the manga more than I do until now. There's certain things I've seen as a part of the ending that I genuinely can't believe, but I see Horikoshi do certain things and it is what it is at this point. He's the author of this manga and all I can do is read it, but like Toriyama with Dragon Ball, a lot of his decisions with his series are flawed.

I am really unhappy with the way it ended, but I could tell as the final fight continued on that we were going to get this bullshit kumbaya everyone is friends thing.
I'm not against some optimistic messaging and positive series, but this really laid it on thick, especially for a Japanese series.
Without specific spoilers, they have one character highlighted who has done a "great job with prejudiced-based incidents recently" and maybe 3 pages before has a line that says "We all look different, and because of that we can empathize with each other"
And I just think that is such stupid fucking messaging. All of human history proves that is not the case, and 3 pages later your own characters confirm it by needing to deal with "prejudiced-based incidents"
I think the series was fun and a great take on super heroes before things like the Boys and Marvel got as off the rails as it has at this point. I'm disappointed but almost every long-running series ending has been either bittersweet at best or just plain disappointing.
I moreso hate the way that Izuku gets treated at the end, mainly because it's like I don't get how they decided to make him get a minimum wage job, no one recognizes him as the hero who saved Japan and his friends didn't talk to him for eight fucking years.
Mangaka like Horikoshi are the reason why fanfiction is so popular, because I don't get how you shit the bed with the ending that horribly.
It's not that dire. Izuku is a UA teacher for the hero course, and grade-schoolers give him the same respect as All Might.
I kinda get why Class1-A would want to keep the new Iron Man suit a secret until it's actually ready, but for them to be no-contact, especially Ochako, is just odd.
