My Hero Academia has been going on with its impeccable storylines for over a decade now, and with its most recent war finished, the manga is concluding. The latest finale in the manga has made Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia Vol. 30, My Hero Academia Vol. 36), the creator of My Hero Academia, decide to put an end to this famous series. In recent interview with Da Vinci Magazine, Horikoshi has been asked to give the story behind Ochaco’s most iconic scene on the rooftop of U.A. High School and how it all led to the seventh season of My Hero Academia, Comicbook.com reports.
“You know how Ochaco shouts encouragements to Deku from the school’s roof? That was based on an idea I wanted to do at the beginning of the series but never used. Originally, it was meant to happen after Deku entered U.A. High School when he’s feeling down one day because he is the only one not doing well in class. The students were going to hang out after school and get to known one another at karaoke. They all sing as introductions, but Deku is feeling down… so he doesn’t really join in and stays in the corner instead,” Horikoshi explained, via Comicbook.com.
The creator of My Hero Academia, according to Comicbook.com, continues to explain how the scene originated. “When it is Ochaco’s turn, she sings the song “Fight” by Miyuki Nakajima… I was thinking about including a scene where Ochaco gives Deku encouragement by singing to him. Back then, I felt I didn’t have the time to do something like that, but I still wanted to do it anyways. So in the end, that idea tied itself to the rooftop speech scene.”
“Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life-a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.”
The My Hero Academia animated series is available to stream on Crunchyroll, Hulu and Netflix.
