I love how they rant about ochako ending up in a relationship with izuku turns her into "nothing but the mc love interest" when that is exactly what they wanted bakugou to end up as and were perfectly fine with that scenario! Damn hypocrites 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If I see another person whining that Ochaco being in a relationship ruined her character I will scream.

Another day of me blocking shipper stans who seems to think Izuku is Bakugou's precious little pet and is incapable of making choices for himself because he supposedly fucking owes the blond shit his entire life. Another day of blocking people who seems to think Izuku not wanting to be a sidekick to Bkg means he is rejecting Bakugou's soul. Another day of me blocking morons who fail to see that 431 shows them acting more comfortable and closer than they have in the previous chapters. Izuku is just choosing to be a teacher as well as a hero. It is implied both of them frequentl meet up and Izuku is exepecting him to visit UA.

Another day of blocking morons who spent more time reading ao3 fics than actually reading the manga.

Hi, I know you said you didn't want to talk about this last chapter until the other rereads, but you're one of the few blogs that I trust won't respond with biased information about any particular ship or character. I'm hearing that there's a problem with chapter 431, that it shouldn't be counted as part of the chronology because the author didn't write it or something? but it doesn't appear in the final volume and is part of the end? Sorry for the question, I'm just really confused.

This comes from a misinterpretation of commentary written by Horikoshi expanding on the metaphor of BNHA as live theater. That theatrical connection has long been established. There was a reason the manga was split into three acts; the story focused on masks, roles, stages, etc.; and the manga spent so much time breaking the fourth wall and speaking of fantasy and reality.

I'm paraphrasing, but Horikoshi's commentary was that chapter 429 was the end of the play, chapter 430 was the curtain call, and chapter 431 was what happened after the curtain fell and the cameras dimmed.

It makes sense why chapter 429 would be "the end" of the play. It was the end of the hero society where everyone played black and white roles with very particular masks. (Because Shigaraki destroyed the stage). The play reached its conclusion with an ordinary person putting down the mask and reaching out to the child in need in front of them.

Chapter 430, where it ends with a spread of all of Class 1A, is the curtain call. If you've ever seen a play live, the actors all come back on stage for one final bow to the audience. That is the role of chapter 430.

Chapter 431 is what is left after all of the dramatics of theater are gone. The stage is no more, the masks are destroyed, and the roles will never be the same. Their current roles may eventually disappear entirely. This chapter is what they chose after the fantasy ended.

Even if the final two chapters were "extras", it would be dubious to argue they aren't canon. This argument is either coming from a place of those unhappy for shipping or other reasons...or they don't read much. Seriously, epilogue chapters (even those labeled as extras) set after a time skip are common from mainstream YA novels to Korean webtoons. Some folks in this fandom interact with BNHA as if they have never read a book before and it's mildly concerning...

Beyond that, acting as if a chapter included in a published volume of a text isn't canon is absurd on its face. Even if Horkoshi said it wasn't, at that point apply Death of the Author and actually read the manga as presented.

Tl;dr: Yes, chapter 431 is canon. It's in the official final volume and Horikoshi's commentary about this chapter was part of a metaphor about BNHA as a play.

In light of the last ask I got, it's so interesting that now Izuku is getting hate. Because when he was a blank prop who worshipped Bakugou at every turn, that was fine. When he didn't show a hint of malice against Bakugou, that was defended as him just not holding a grudge. But now that he's exercising agency against his abuser as a conscious adult who's (presumably) had time to come to terms with his trauma, y'all are mad?

Bakugou stans and BakuDeku shippers never cared about Izuku. They only cared about how he could make Bakugou look better. Now that he isn't doing that anymore, he's being thrown out like garbage

[marunalu]

Soooo just out of curiosity, how is dekakchan doing? 😅

[marunalu]

Hi! Do you still believe in DFO?

Yes because its neither confirmed or denied. So far its open for interpretation. Who knows maybe hori will talk about the hisashi topic at one point, but as long as nothing is denied, dfo fans can believe what they want. Unlike certain shippers now! 😆

[marunalu]

Hi!!! I know you're not in the fandom anymore, but I think everything that's been going on lately and with the extra chapter of Vol. 42, is pretty hilarious and you certainly weren't wrong when you said that Izuocha was final canon. Personally, I don't have any ships other than liking certain ship arts (tddk, izuocha, rodydeku) but I thought that in the end it was going to be left unconfirmed and now the fandom is suffering a collapse.

Hi 😊

I dont really know whats going on in the fandom right now, so I had to check. I know a lot of people were dissapointed that dfo was not confirmed or hisashi at least revealed in these bonus pages, but honestly I never believed that would be the case. Im on the firm believe that hori originally planned for hisashi to show up (no matter if dfo is canon or not) but in the end decided against it because he didnt know how to fit him in the story that was left to tell. Which sucks and I think if you tell your readers that something will deffinitetly happen, then you should keep your word. 20 more chapters wouldnt have been a big deal. But yeah, I never believed dfo would be confirmed in these bonus pages.

Im happy that izuocha is confirmed canon and I can imagine how the bkdk fandom is having a meltdown because of it. Im glad hori decided to confirm it and didnt chicken out because of rapid toxic shippers. As far as I know bakugou isnt even in the top 10 hero ranking which makes me happy too, because at least hori is aware enough that no one would like a guy with bakugous behaviour. Im happy for shoto on spot 2 but kinda salty about mirio to be nr 1. Not because I dislike mirio but because nighteyes wish came true and I hate the guy! 😅

Yeah, so thats kinda my thoughts about the whole topic.

[marunalu]

Please be true

'We need more male and female protagonist duos where they're completely platonic best friends with no romantic undertones or even shipbaiting!!!!!'You guys couldn't even handle Ichigo and Rukia

[marunalu]

Ichihime: hugging each other (yes ichigo is reaching for orihime and holding her, you can see that clearly in the first gift)

Antis: they dont have any chemistry at all 😤

Me: oh come on, they could have kissed instead and you would still claim they have no chemistry but pretend that ichigo and rukia screaming at each other or kicking each other is hardcore romance!

Listen, Im not an ichihime shipper and I think both ships are cute in their own way, but its the endgame ship. Its canon and will stay canon. You dont have to like it, but it is what it is. Still ranting 9 years later wont change anything and kubo even said the more people will pester him about ichiruki the more he will draw ichihime content in the future. He debunked romantic ichiruki 8 years before the manga even ended. The anime studio changed and cut a lot of manga scenes when it comes to ichigos und rukias/ichigos and orihimes relationship which made tons of people believe ichiruki will be endgame and it didnt help that the director was a hardcore ichiruki shipper too.

Just let it rest. Ichigo and rukia have still one of the most beautiful platonic relationships in anime history and at least in my eyes, romance would destroy their relationship. So can you please just stop with the ichihime and orihime hate? And can ichihime shippers please leave ichiruki shippers also alone as long as no one starts a fight with you? Just leave each other alone and tag your stuff properly. Its really not that hard!

Every time I see comments or articles from people claiming that at the end of disneys beauty and the beast movie the beast shouldnt have turned back into a human because belle fell in love with his beast form and that it makes no sense that she would still love him despite looking different, I can not help but feel annoyed, because I think these people are completly missing the point and message what the movie is trying to tell. The message is not "appearance doesnt matter, so I want you to stay ugly and unhappy with your appearance, because thats how I love you".

No, the message is "appearance doesnt matter, so I love you no matter what you look like". And thats what happens at the end of the movie. Belle fell in love with the beast because of his PERSONALITY, despite his monstrous appearance. So when he turned back into a human, only his appearance changed but not the PERSONALITY belle fell in love with! She needed a tiny moment to realize its really him, but the moment she looked into his eyes (the same eyes in beast and human form) she knew it was him. She knew thats the same man she fell in love with. His appearance never mattered to belle. She fell in love with who he was deep down as a person.

Also, dont you think, the beast has the right to turn back into a human?! Because thats what HE wishes for! The beast turning back to a human, because thats what he wants and deserves is about the beast and NOT what belle wants and deserves! It doesnt matter to her what he looks like, but it matters to HIM what he looks like! Because he doesnt want to stay looking like an animal for the rest of his life. I mean, the guy was turned into a beast at the age of 12, just because he behaved like a spoiled brat which is not uncommon for a prince his age and had to live like that for 10 years. Pretty harsh dont you think? He was in agony and felt ashamed and was sure the curse would never be broken. At the end he learned his lesson and was even ready to give up on his wish to turn back if it meant to make belle happy and let her leave his castle so she could return to her father. That didnt mean he didnt wanted to turn back though, it just meant belles happiness was more important to him, even if it meant he had to suffer for the rest of his life.

The beast deserved for his wish to come true and to turn back into his human form, because he became a good person and learned his lesson. And his appearance no matter as a beast or human never mattered to belle anyway.

Thanks for reading my little random rant.
