Summary
My Hero Academiajust made the most heartbreakingcallback to the author ’s old scratch serieswith a genius hidden cameo . The a la mode chapter features many interesting development asAll For One has returnedfor one last bout but hidden between the exciting action is a subtle yet poignant point of reference to one of Kohei Horikoshi ’s older kit and caboodle which was unfortunately discontinued .
In chapter # 420 , Aizawa returns to the Evacuation substance to get together the submarine sandwich there as computer backup before heading to the battlefield when a random untested boy asks to get together the scrap , claiming he too is a Hero of Alexandria , even though he may be a nobody . Despite seeming like a rather unimportant exchange at first , the little male child in the chapter resembles Astro , the protagonist ofBarrage , one of Horikoshi ’s lesser - known employment which failed to take off .
Barrage , unfortunately , was cancel after only sixteen chapter because of poor readership . The series is n’t nearly as well - known compared toMy Hero Academia . As such , the little hero ’s words in chapter # 420 likelyreflect Horikoshi ’s disappointment and sadness at the failure of the serieswhich he still holds dear even years after its cancelation .
The tardy episode of Pokémon Horizons featured a surprising scene that referenced My Hero Academia ’s beloved top champion , All Might .

Chapter #420, “From Aizawa”
DespiteMy Hero Academia ’s massive success , Astro ’s cameo indicate Horikoshi still has n’t forgotten aboutBarrage , a littleone - shot he spell back in 2012 which was later expanded into a full weekly seriespublished by Shonen Jump . The story failed to garner popularity internationally even after being picked up by Viz and was sadly cancel after only four months and sixteen chapter , which were compile into two volumes .
Barragewas by no means Horikoshi ’s first shōnen series , but it does fall flat compared to his other work . Even though it had a pretty straightforward storey , the characters were just lackluster and bordered on cliché . Despite being the protagonist of the story , Astro himself miss any real deepness and this holds the otherwise fun premise back greatly . While the series ' art was pretty good , it was still inferior to what Horikoshi would go on to boast inMy Hero Academia .
Barrage Greatly Shaped My Hero Academia
Even thoughBarragemay not have performed well , it still was an integral part of Horikoshi ’s life history as the second series he created for Shōnen Jump and shapedMy Hero Academiaas fans know it today . In an consultation with Kendo Kobayashi in 2015 , Horikoshi let on that he had been depressed after Barrage ’s cancelation , so much so that he was on the scepter of giving up on drawing comedian entirely . This is when he came up with theidea forMy Hero Academia . In fact , Deku ’s anxiety and ego - doubt may have reflect Horikoshi ’s own genial DoS at the sentence .
My Hero Academiaarose like a capital of Arizona fromBarrage’sashes .
Overall , Barrage ’s failure in all likelihood allow Horikoshi to avoid many of the same pitfalls when writingMy Hero Academia . The stark deviation between the two series are clear as day in their first chapters alone . Every exceptional view ofMy Hero Academiais a result of mistakes made and get word from inBarrage , and even though it may not be perfect , the series will likely be just as valuable to Horikoshi , even if it may not get as much recognition .
