Asta got to become Wizard King and Naruto got to become Hokage sooner than Luffy got to become King of the Pirates. Wow.

Jokes aside, this is gonna be awesome to see in the anime. GG, Tabata. Until we meet again.

RIP

It peaked about midway through, but we’ll never know how good the final arc could’ve been if not for the author’s obvious burnout and the switch to a terrible release schedule.

Biggest takeaway from the ending was that it felt like Tabata took the backlash over MHA's ending to heart and just made the last chapter a parade of characters getting together (or planning to get together) and having babies lol

Except for Asta and Noelle. Looks like she is destined to be alone forever or grow up to be an even bigger tsundere like Captain Charlotte.

Even there Noelle and Mimosa's role in the chapter was to let the reader know that other couples got together and then go "ok now time to hook up with Asta, may the best woman win"

When the anime does eventually adapt the rest of the manga, I can definitely see the studio taking a lot of creative liberties regarding the final showdown between Asta & Yuno. They can make it a lot more flashier & longer than how the manga did it & maybe even play Haruka Mirai in the background for maximum shonen effect. Though no matter what they do to amplify the fight, it wont ever beat Magna vs Dante for me. I personally cant wait to see that animated & I hope they do it justice.

Regarding the ending of the series, its definitely rushed but it was still a decent ending for a shonen series. Just a peek at some notable characters' lives & how they're doing now. It is kinda funny to me that even the paint magic guy & charmy got together for some reason. Felt random to me as I dont remember them having that sort of relationship even before all the timeskips.

It was one sided. Remember paint guy became infatuated with Charmy's sexy, badass transformation? But it took him forever to realize it was Charmy.
