Deku can be seen enjoying a peaceful moment after all the fighting he endures

In the fan posted to social media by N., an adult version of Izuku can be seen resting on his classroom’s chalkboard. The scene, most likely taking place after his students had left UA for the day, depicts Deku smiling calmly, with his arms crossed. He seems completely at peace, with no worries weighing him down. This version of Izuku is a stark contrast to the younger version of himself sitting in front of him. The younger Deku can be seen wearing his Altera High uniform, hunched over his desk.

The banner is a reminder of The long and difficult journey Izuku had to go through during the My Hero Academia manga. The younger version of All Might’s pupil is a representation of how the story began. Despite the great feats Izuku achieved in the series, he began the story as a fat and insecure quirkless boy. It was by working hard that he became the savior of the world. All the pain, sacrifices and sufferings he had to endure led him to a peaceful future, confirmed by the calm smile his adult version displayed.
