Since Kohei Horikoshi wants to leave some elements open to interpretation, we may not get a future series based on My Hero Academia

My Hero Academia has become a cultural phenomenon since its debut, influencing Western media as well as anime and manga to gain an avid following. With a unique blend of intense action, diverse characters and interesting themes, this series has made a lasting impression on audiences.

However, leaving fans curious and eager for more, Kohei Horikoshi has hinted that he may not pursue any spin-offs despite the series' massive success. His reasoning behind this decision is rooted in a deep artistic perspective, drawing inspiration from the iconic 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This perspective has guided Horikoshi's work on My Hero Academia, influencing both the creation of his world and his vision for its conclusion.

Through an interview with Viz Media in 2024, Kohei Horikoshi discussed his inspirations, the popularity of the series, and his creative process for creating the manga. He was also very humble about My Hero Academia's global popularity, citing the efforts of people who distributed and marketed the manga internationally.
