My Hero Academia’sending was quite sad for the fans, especially since the story had been going strong for about a decade. With the incredible love that fans had for it, it is no surprise to know thatMy Hero Academia’sending would be the end of an era. But, at the same time, fans also know thatMy Hero Academia’send isn’t final.
Horikoshi has, since then, revealed two one-shots, and revealeda ton of additional information through his final fanbook. Fans can only hope that they get more such details from the author at some point later down the line. But, more importantly, the information that they have now is more than enough to fill their hunger for a while. Most recently, Horikoshi revealed a ton of exciting information about some of the biggest and most popular characters inMy Hero Academia, including the Top Heroes. In doing so, he has also revealed to the fans that there is one who will eventually go on to become the new Number One Hero.
How Mirio Togata Became The Number One Hero
Mirio Togata is the current Number One Hero of Japan inMy Hero Academia, and this doesn’t surprise anyone. Fans know for a fact that Mirio Is quite strong. In fact, the last time that the fans saw him in combat, Mirio was revealed to be an absolute monster, with more room to grow. As an adult, it is only natural that Mirio has gotten even stronger and is enjoying his prime years as a hero.

Mirio’s Permeation Quirk is on a whole new level, and more than that, it might even have reawakened, which pushes him to a very high level. To get a proper idea of how strong Mirio is, fans need to keep in mind thatShoto Todoroki, despite being a monster himself, is still behind him in Hero rankings, and in his case, it isn’t down to his behavior. That said, there is one Hero whose strength potentially surpasses that of Mirio, and it is none other than Bakugo.
Bakugo Is Confirmed To Be Potentially Stronger Than Mirio
Bakugo Will Undoubtedly Be The Future Number One
If there’s one hero who can go on to surpass Mirio Togata and claim the Number One Hero spot, it is, undoubtedly, Bakugo. In fact, Horikoshi has already confirmed in the latest fanbook thatBakugo’s powers are potentially greater than those of Mirio already. All he needs to do is work on his character. Here’s what he had to say:
A boy who aspires to be the number one hero. He has a rough and aggressive personality but a genius talent for fighting. He feels a strong rivalry with his childhood friend Izuku due to his rapid growth, but gradually begins to acknowledge his abilities. After his graduation, he becomes a sidekick under Jeanist, and then goes independent. His abilities are said to be equal to or even greaterthan those of Lemillion, but he can’t get rid of his rough behavior and is struggling to rise in the rankings. When he teams up with others, his reputation mysteriously rises. He is often loved by the senior Heroes.
Bakugo Or Deku Will Surpass Mirio Togata And Become The Number One Hero
Bakugo might have dropped a lot in the rankings previously, but he’s making his way up. He was 4th at first and then dropped down to 15th, but the fact that he is now back to Number 5 shows that he’s working on his character too. Bakugo Will inevitably come for Mirio’s spot. Eventually, he should rightfully take his place as the Number One Hero in Japan.
Another interesting candidate for the Number One spot is Deku, who somehow claimed the Number 4 spot. If Deku’s Hero Suit is this power, then there is absolutely no denying the fact that he can do the unthinkable and becomethe Number One in the future. But, for now, Bakugo is the one who is almost certain to claim this position.
