Even though My Hero Academia is mostly known for its intense battles, people were drawn to it for all sorts of reasons. Some fans loved the action scenes, others were captivated by the world and its storyline, and many were intrigued by the character interactions.
It’s no surprise that fans became attached to the characters and their relationships. One of the most talked-about friendships in the series is between Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka. From the beginning, they’ve been there for each other, supporting and cheering each other on, especially during the Entrance Exam. It was clear early on that Uraraka had feelings for Deku, and her classmates would tease her about it. During her final showdown with Himiko Toga, Uraraka openly confessed her feelings for Deku for the first time.
Given this buildup, many fans thought Deku and Uraraka would end up as a couple. Now that the manga has concluded, we finally have an answer about their relationship.
Do Deku and Uraraka End Up Together?
The short answer is no; Deku and Uraraka do not become a couple by the end of My Hero Academia. Despite some fans hoping that Uraraka’s crush would lead to a romantic relationship, the manga never confirms that they get together. They do have a meaningful conversation in chapter 429, but it feels more like a strong friendship than anything romantic.
In the final chapter, there’s a scene showing them together in the snow, and Uraraka is wearing a new mask as part of her hero costume. Some readers took this as a hint of a deeper relationship, but it turns out Uraraka’s mask is different from the one Deku uses. Without any official confirmation, there’s no way to say for sure that they become a couple. But hey, fans are welcome to imagine their own endings if they like!
