My Hero Academia Reveals Deku’s Final Form & It’s Straight Out of Spider-Man
Update: 2025-11-05
Description
The episode is an excerpt from a work titled "Carnage Deku: My Hero Academia's Symbiote Love Letter," which provides an extensive analysis of how the character Izuku Midoriya (Deku) from My Hero Academia is heavily influenced by Marvel's Spider-Man and the symbiote villains Venom and Carnage. The analysis details numerous direct parallels between Deku’s evolving powers, such as Blackwhip and Danger Sense, and Spider-Man's abilities, suggesting creator Kohei Horikoshi intended these connections. The episode focuses primarily on Deku’s "Overlay" form, nicknamed "Carnage Deku," arguing that its visual design, powers, and thematic purpose are a direct homage to the destructive Carnage symbiote during the manga's Final War arc. Ultimately, the work concludes that Deku’s entire heroic journey and final form represent a thoughtful tribute to the Spider-Man legacy of heroism despite immense personal cost and responsibility.
