My Hero Academia chapter 430 was released on August 5, 2024, and just like Aoyama and Shinso’s future, the chapter revealed the fates of every student whom fans witnessed throughout the series progression. While most students didn't have the same fate as Deku, of becoming teachers, some students did join welfare programs instead of competing for the top-rated heroes.

A key example of this was the fate of Aoyama and Shinso. The former was the U.A. traitor and left the school looking for a new start. The fact that Aoyama and Shinso were featured in the final collective hero panel meant that the hero society did change after the demise of the series' antagonist such that Aoyama had the will to return to the place that made him suffer his entire life.

My Hero Academia chapter 430 commenced with an 8-year time skip, after which Deku continued his journey as a teacher at U.A. High School. Shouji (Tentacole) was rewarded for his services regarding the rights of heteromorphs, and he continued his journey as a Pro Hero.

Uraraka, Tsuyu, Iida, and Momo joined Uraraka's welfare campaign, where these four visited grade schools around Japan and spread awareness regarding quirk awakening. Hatsume continued her research and opened her institute, which a lot of freshmen were eager to join.

Lastly, Bakugo and Todoroki became top-rated heroes and competed for the top spot in Japan. The other students from Class A also did the same, as showcased in the final panel of the final chapter, and the same could be said about Aoyama and Shinso’s future as they were also featured in the final panel.

Hitoshi Shinso was a former Class C student from the Department of General Education. He was introduced during the U.A. Sports Festival arc, where he was bested by Izuku Midoriya. After his defeat, he started getting training from Aizawa who also gave him his Binding Cloth to Shinso as an offensive weapon.

His transfer to Class A was announced during the Joint Training arc but due to the events of the final war, his transfer was delayed. Eventually, he joined the hero course with a new hero suit that looked much more versatile than his previous one.

Yuga Aoyama was the traitor of the U.A. High School who was found out during the U.A. Traitor arc by Hagakure. He was leaking information regarding the school to All for One as the villain had granted him his quirk because Aoyama was born Quirkless.

After the events of the final war, Aoyama decided to leave U.A. High and start from scratch as the Hero Society had made him suffer a lot. Fortunately, he returned to the Hero Society as he was featured in the final panel alongside the other students of Class A. Moreover, Aoyama was wearing his old hero suit, indicating that he kept his old quirk, Navel Laser.

A key point in Aoyama's return to the Hero Society as a Pro Hero was that due to the efforts of the current leaders, the Hero Society changed and the ranking system didn't remain as serious as it was before. Aoyama's life was ruined due to the competitiveness of this society so, his return indicated that he was sure that he could fulfill his dream of becoming a hero without any mental pressure.
