All good things must come to an end at some point, and so is the case with My Hero Academia. The beloved manga series has gone on for 10 years and is now completely over by the time you're reading this. I actually really love how My Hero Academia ends, especially in the case of Deku and his romance status.
I should warn you ahead of time this will contain full spoilers for the conclusion of My Hero Academia. If you are reading this soon after publishing, the anime has not even come close to catching up to the manga's ending yet. As such, if you are watching only the anime or are not caught up on the manga, now is the time to turn around.
Still here? Great! I am proud of the series' creator Kohei Horikoshi. Horikoshi avoided the pitfalls and awkwardness of other similar shonen series in terms of romance. Not only is Deku's quirk state a phenomenal full circle closure for the hero, but he sticks to himself in the end relationship-wise.
Despite the confession from Ochaco in chapter 429, Deku doesn't appear to end up with her after the eight-year time skip in the final chapter. In fact, it implies he doesn't have much to do with any of his Class 1-A classmates in the future. I honestly prefer it this way, as Deku and Ochaco didn't seem like a compelling couple.
This is a general problem with a lot of similar shonen manga and anime series. Series like Demon Slayer, Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball, Inuyasha, and others feel the need to end with the main character falling in love with someone. Some of these series work well, but others feel forced and out of left field. My Hero Academia would certainly fall into the latter category if Deku fell for Ochaco.
Sure, I admire Ochaco's clear feelings for Deku throughout the series. However, there is almost no indication from Deku's side to hint at any reciprocating feelings. In all honesty, Deku's relationship with Ochaco almost feels no different than what he has with the lovable but villainous Himiko Toga. Overall, it makes more sense for there not to be a clear winner in this love triangle.
Deku has such a huge focus on saving the world that romance is seemingly the last thing on his mind. Even after the time skip, he focuses more on raising up the next generation of heroes. His character is the lone wolf in a way, keeping his friends close but at a reasonable distance.
Almost none of the characters make that much sense to end up with him from what we see in the series, so I'm grateful Horikoshi stuck to this conclusion. Beyond Ochaco, as much as I love Toga, she does some horrifying acts. So partnering her with Deku wouldn't make much sense, either.
Mei Hatsume somewhat matches better with Deku personality-wise than either of the other two girls, but she is in the background a little bit too much. As such, I feel like none of the options work that well for this series. In the end, I appreciate Deku's seemingly single relationship status.
This result shows that a fantastic manga and anime series like this one doesn't have to conclude with romance. This shows the series is about saving the world, not who ends up with who. I hope that more shonen action series take from My Hero Academia's spin on romance. In a way, it's like having your cake and eating it, too. Fans can still ship characters for fun without the actual series taking away from what really matters. And, honestly, I think I prefer it this way.
The My Hero Academia manga is available to read from start to finish on Viz Media and Manga Plus. The anime adaptation is available on Crunchyroll.

The design for Snow Miku 2025 has been decided. The winner is X (formerly known as Twitter) user "nekohoshi_neko," and the theme for this year was "Kira Kira Snow Material."
Piapro didn't give specific guidelines or a description for the prompt. However, it seems that nekohoshi_neko interpreted it to mean individual snowflakes. There are snow crystals in Miku's hair, as well as in the her dress. Meanwhile, her pigtails curl at the ends and have different-colored streaks, as well as snowflake designs, in them. Unlike normal Mikus, she has a cat-shaped mouth. Rabbit Yukine, the little mascot and friend for Snow Miku, has a similar little outfit. However, the ornament in its hair is a snowball rather than a snowflake.
Piapro chose the winner for this year. You can check out the other submissions, as well as the runner-ups, via the official website. The other designs have very different takes on the prompt. For example, one of them chose to put the hexagonal design of snowflakes in the hem of Miku's dress. Another one focused more on the bright and glittery aspect of snow. As a reminder, the winning design for Snow Miku will appear as a Nendoroid in the future. There will also be a special theme song for the character. You can check out the past Snow Miku designs here.
The Snow Miku 2025 Nendoroid will likely appear some time next year.

One of the few things that the HoYoVerse fandom can agree on is that the music in HoYoVerse games is, for the most part, really good. Some tracks even classify as straight-up bangers. The soundtrack of Honkai: Star Rail in particular stands out to me due to the sheer amount of battle themes that can exist in each world when compared to its contemporaries.
Back when I played the closed beta, something that immediately stuck out to me was how much I liked the default battle theme in Herta Space Station. Okay, look, it's not fancy or epic or anything. It's just a vibe and I liked it a lot more than the default Mondstadt battle theme in Genshin Impact (which I was playing literally right before going into the closed beta). I liked it enough that after HoYoVerse shut down the beta servers, the first thing I did was go to YouTube to see if someone uploaded it. So from the beginning, I was quite a fan of Honkai: Star Rail's musical aesthetic.
As the game continued and the updates came out, I felt surprised in a good way at how HoYoVerse tends to add new battle tracks to the game, even when we aren't going to a new world. Genshin Impact is the only other HoYoVerse game I play where I pay attention to the music. But in Genshin, there are only about two or three tracks per region and they feel random. I know that certain tracks only play in certain areas, like how the Sumeru desert and rainforest have separate themes. Listening to them, though, they sound very similar due to sharing the same instruments and general style. This is unfortunate since the different regions look so distinct from each other! So I wish they could sound more unique as well.
In comparison, worlds in Honkai: Star Rail have individual battle themes for different locales, even if they share a world. Compare the Scalegorge Waterscape with the Shackling Prison, Fyxestroll Garden, Cloudford, and the Alchemy Commission. Those areas all look and feel vastly different, so it's great that they all have their own battle themes rather than sharing from a limited bank. In the most recent update, story bosses have regained their unique battle themes in modes like Memory of Chaos and Divergent Universe. This is great, as I'm a big fan of certain ones and it's nice to not listen to the same four or five Echo of War battle themes every week when I want a change of pace.
On paper, it's not that big of a deal. But music is more important than you might think! Check out this Harry Potter edit that was making rounds on the Internet a while back. That poppy music in the background is doing a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to imparting that spring flick vibe. I've long been of the opinion that the D.Gray-Man anime suffered a little (whether the original or Hallow) from hiring Kaoru Wada as the composer. Wada is great. But his style incorporates a lot of traditional Japanese instruments and sounds that really brought Inuyasha to life, yet feel weird in the gothic European setting of D.Gray-Man. Even if the writing, acting, and cinematography of a scene are perfect, a poor soundtrack can ruin the whole thing.
Would I have noticed anything off with the game if it didn't change the soundtrack based on individual maps rather than worlds? Probably not. Nonetheless, it's a nice touch that I appreciate. The sheer amount of variety in music helps to make the world of Honkai: Star Rail feel larger and grander than it may be, which fits perfectly with the space opera genre. Now if only the designs for the female characters' outfits could take some notes!
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

While Nintendo has not given any concrete information, market news comparing Nintendo and Sony have predicted that we may see the Nintendo Switch 2 some time in early 2025. With the Switch growing older, Nintendo may need to release something new in order to keep up with trends. [Thanks, Kabutan!]
Various sources over the years have given tidbits of information regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, or whatever Nintendo will name the successor to the console. It will likely be on the "cheaper" end at under $499, yet its specs will be slightly inferior to that of the PS4 Pro. For reference, the current price for a a normal Nintendo Switch is $299.99. Meanwhile, an OLED model is $349.99. Kabutan is guessing that the Nintendo Switch 2's price may lead to inbound demand generation due to differences between the US dollar and the Japanese yen.
Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda was the one who predicted that the Switch 2 would come out in early 2025. He stated that Nintendo made way less money compared to Sony, as well as its own previous year. However, this was within Nintendo's expectations for two main reasons. Firstly, unlike last year, Nintendo doesn't have a major hit like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which would affect its growth. Second of all, the Switch is in its eighth year now. So it stands to reason that hardware sales would go down.
If Yasuda's predictions are accurate, we may see the Nintendo Switch in early 2025 (likely some time within Q2 2025). Until then, we will need to wait for Nintendo's official announcement.
