With the release of Chapter 430, My Hero Academia wraps up with a mix of satisfaction and emotion. As fans process the ending, many are left wondering about Deku’s final fate. Fans want to understand how Deku lost the power of One For All and whether he managed to become a hero by the end of the manga.
Here is everything to know about how did Deku lose One for All in My Hero Academia.
How did Deku lose One for All in My Hero Academia?
Deku not only inherited the immense power of One For All but also gained the abilities of its past users, or “vestiges.” This combination made him one of the strongest heroes ever, surpassing even All Might in his prime. Despite this power, Deku struggled to defeat Shigaraki, whose regeneration, durability, and strength rivaled those of All Might.
To overcome Shigaraki, Deku needed to delve into his deepest memories and inflict damage from within. He achieved this by transferring the vestiges of One For All into Shigaraki. This caused internal turmoil and forced him to confront his past, setting the stage for the climactic battle against All For One. After transferring all of One For All’s power to Shigaraki, Deku was left with only the remnants of the Quirk.
Fans hoped these embers would sustain Deku for a significant time after the war. Initially, he retained some of this residual power, but it was clear that these embers were not permanent. As Deku continued to use his powers, they gradually diminished, and by Chapter 430, he had lost them entirely. By the time he graduated, it was evident that he was once again Quirkless, with the full power of One For All gone.
Did Deku become a hero again at the end of MHA manga?
At the end of the manga, All Might presents Deku with a specially designed suit that enables him to return to his role as a Hero.
In the final moments of My Hero Academia, fans were initially led to believe the story had reached its conclusion with Deku and Dai’s conversation. However, the narrative took an unexpected turn when All Might made a surprise appearance. He brought a gift for Deku, revealing that significant advancements in technology had occurred over the past eight years.
With contributions from Melissa, Dave, and Mei, Deku received new Hero equipment. Moreover, Bakugo and the students of Class 1-A funded it. This development marked his return to his role as a Hero.
