With the release of My Hero Academia chapter 430, the manga series finally revealed its protagonist Izuku Midoriya's fate following the final battle. According to the manga, the protagonist lost his One For All Quirk before his graduation, following which he became a teacher at the U.A. High School.

This reveal has seen Naruto fans troll My Hero Academia manga fans in a way no one could have imagined. As fans might remember, the Naruto anime used a specific OST during its majority filler happy-go-lucky episodes. This OST reemerged online as fans used the same to troll Deku's eight-year-long fate.

As revealed by My Hero Academia chapter 430, the manga series experienced a time skip. Deku lost his One For All Quirk right before his graduation, after which he spent the rest of the years Quirkless and became a teacher at the U.A. High School.

With his prospect of becoming a hero having vanished, Deku wished to help others become heroes using his experience. He missed being a hero but was forced to make a choice based on his circumstances.

Fortunately, eight years later, Deku received a support item from All Might. This item was created by a friend of his and Hatsume and was commissioned by his Class A friends, led by Katsuki Bakugo. Using the same, Deku became a hero again.

Given how Deku effectively wasn't a hero for eight years, fans believed that if the anime were to make fillers for the events that took place during time, it would look very similar to that of Naruto's filler episodes.

With that in mind, fans joked about how Deku must have been forced to listen to the Naruto OST Afternoon of Konoha by MUSASHI PROJECT.

While most fans were left laughing after thinking about Deku in Naruto-like filler scenarios, some fans wished for the trolling to stop as they could not see their protagonist get roasted so much.

"8 year long filler is crazy," one fan said.

"You don't need to roast my boy like that," another fan said.

Most fans found the mere possibility of an eight-year-long filler crazy. Meanwhile, others could not stop laughing over what Deku must have gone through during that time.

"Just put the grades in the bag bro," another said.

“you best BELIEVE to put those fries in my bag-Naruto," another added.

Some fans even referenced the "Deku McDonald's worker" meme. They imagined customers treating him poorly at the billing counter, phrasing what the protagonist must have been forced to hear. One fan asked Deku to put his school grades in the bag, while another phrased Naruto, asking Deku to add fries to his order.
