That ending was a total cop out.
It would've been fine if Deku had just become a teacher - not the best ending, and not that realistic, but sure, I can see how he fits that role and how it would allow him to continue being a "hero", at least to his students. So, thematically, makes sense! I can get behind it!
But now, at the very last beat, there's suddenly a new *suit?* I know there have been may other suits and stuff but this just undermines the whole theme of Deku losing his quirk(s) and turning into a teacher (and yadda yadda). If Horikoshi wanted him to be a hero by the end of the manga, he could've just never stopped being one if you want the fact he is now quirkless to make sense, then you should've *leave* him like that! It's the same thing as when author's kill off a character just to bring them back: what was the point, then?

I admit I would've liked to just see Deku live out his dream of being a hero, sure, but him becoming a teacher was also an ending I could get behind. *This* ending, however, the one we got, feels like it half asses both possibilities.

    One for all, All for one, All for nothing

    but in all seriousness tho, i agree, i feel like they could've done a lot more with the ending to make it not feel....like such a dump on izuku, like the fact that they wrapped it up with him basically getting an ironman suit?, like....

    thats just my opinion tho
