Boku no Hero Academia fans are fooled again

We have previously talked about fake panels and frames that fans of "Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia)" share on social networks and immediately start to believe themselves. That was what happened recently, since an alleged leak of the original manga began to circulate showing Izuku Midoriya as an employee in an establishment similar to McDonald's.

"Izuku Midoriya is no longer a hero," the information box writes. "Do it quickly, then you have to wash the dishes, you fool!" shouts an off-frame character. "An All-Mighty Burger Combo 25, who is it for?" says Midoriya with a grim expression.

The leak was made more believable especially since the most recent episode showed Izuku Midoriya with deep wounds from his battle against All For One. In addition, considering that he "sacrificed the One For All" in order to be victorious and that, consequently, he will eventually be left without a Quirk. It is because of the latter that fans believed the fact that, by running out of the possibility of becoming a hero, Midoriya ended up becoming an employee.

Now, in case you didn't notice, there is a note at the bottom of the image that says "Art by @CPASDRYNA", which should have already been a clue that the image was fake. Investigating the account, we can see that it is dedicated to imitating the art of popular manga authors to create "fake-leaks". He even uploaded another illustration showing Midoriya leaving his hero outfit in the trash, a great reference to the scene in "Spider-Man 2" where Peter Parker gives up being the popular superhero.

And of course, there was no shortage of comments:

  • "What happened to him? I only watched until the third season and he was always smiling."
  • "What is the context of Deku now working at a McDonald's?"
  • "Everyone is ignoring the watermark and thinking it's real."
  • "I freaked out for a moment thinking it was real."
  • "Oh my gosh, I almost had a heart attack thinking this was real."
  • "I had to check it twice."
  • "And this is the hero everyone was talking about?"
  • "Deku working at McDonald's, the true essence."
  • "I can already imagine Bakugo laughing loudly, while Izuku remains impassive as he asks who ordered the burger."
  • "All that hard work and torment to be working in fast food, maybe the bad guys weren't right in their actions, but they were on to something that's for sure."
  • "Damn the day I became a fan of Boku no Hero Academia."
  • "God, how stained, at least they didn't put him like the one who cleans in a Cinépolis."
