Despite all the criticism, Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover is recognized as one of the greatest new-gen masterpieces. With only a few chapters left before the manga’s conclusion, Black Clover will soon join the ranks of other great shonen manga, such as My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer.
Yuki Tabata created an entirely new magical universe with intriguing characters for his audience. As the anime picks up pace, most fans overlook the earlier criticism of Naruto and Asta’s resemblance thanks to Black Clover‘s engaging plot and splendid narrative.
Surprisingly, Yuki Tabata’s personal life caused him a lot of distress. During those tough times, Tabata deeply appreciated Kōhei Horikoshi’s emotional support, which brought the mangaka to tears with his uplifting words.
Yuki Tabata Moved to Tears by My Hero Academia Creator’s Support During Challenging Times
With Black Clover nearing its conclusion, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the final chapters. Black Clover is now globally recognized and cherished among fans; however, the mangaka was often criticized for Asta’s resemblance to the popular protagonist, Naruto, in the past.
Both Naruto and Asta were introduced as orphans who dreamt of earning everyone’s recognition and shared similar ambitions. Interestingly, Black Clover‘s author quickly transitioned to Jump GIGA from Weekly Shonen Jump, making fans curious about his sudden move.
Tabata has honestly discussed his move to Jump GIGA, revealing some private matters that required more of his attention. With the birth of his child and his wife’s recent hospitalization, the mangaka has had a busy few years.
Yuki Tabata feared he might have lost fans’ support considering the anime ended on a cliffhanger. Because of the long pause in Black Clover‘s manga production, the mangaka was worried about his manga’s future success. During those challenging times, My Hero Academia‘s creator offered unwavering support, moving the mangaka to the point of tears.
Kōhei Horikoshi’s supportive comments helped Tabata gain confidence in his writing and continue his work to leave a lasting impression on the audience. Yuki Tabata shared his conversation with Kōhei Horikoshi in the author’s bio, leaving many fans deeply moved.
My Hero Academia‘s Season 7 is making waves online, captivating several fans for the final showdown between Heroes and Villains. A few weeks back, Kōhei Horikoshi released the MHA‘s manga epilogue, leaving many readers upset with the completion of their favorite series. Besides the criticism of lazy writing, MHA‘s creator received much praise from the fandom for years of hard work.
Kōhei Horikoshi’s Hidden Intention Behind My Hero Academia’s Epilogue
Despite enthralling fans for over a decade, Kōhei Horikoshi is receiving tons of criticism for My Hero Academia‘s disappointing narrative. However, Horikoshi wanted to highlight the importance of friendship, and the final chapter serves as a perfect example.
Sadly, our beloved protagonist, Izuku Midoriya, never achieved the top spot in the Heroes Ranking, which ended up triggering a lot of fans. As Deku fails to accomplish his ambition to become the No. 1 Hero and ends up as a UA teacher, Horikoshi illustrates that not every protagonist gets a perfect ending.
Unlike most shonen anime protagonists, Horikoshi wanted to leave a lasting impression on the audience through Deku’s journey, and MHA‘s epilogue highlights the mangaka’s beliefs.
Black Clover and My Hero Academia are available on Crunchyroll.
