My Hero Academiafans were treated to a whole lot of new information about their favorite series by creator Horikoshi. Thanks to the latest release ofMy Hero Academia Fanbook Ultra Age, a new book for the series, fans have a lot of exciting information to dive into.
Fans now have access to all sorts of exciting bits and pieces, such as the new Top 5 Heroes in Japan, Deku’s new powers, along with much else. Interestingly enough, Horikoshi has also revealed who has taken the spot of Star and Stripe, the USA’s late number 1 hero.
Cathleen Bate is The Late Number 1 USA Hero
Hero Name: Star and Stripe
Usually, the story ofMy Hero Academiamostly focuses on the Japanese Heroes, as it is set in Japan for the most part. However, there have been some interesting foreign Heroes in the story, and the most notable one is the USA’s Number One Hero, Star and Stripe.
“As long as people stand up to save each other… someone will inherit that will of heroism. And make no mistake… they will strike you down.” — Star And Stripe
Star and Stripe, also known by her real name Cathleen Bate, was the late Number One Hero from the USA, and she was quite the powerhouse in her own right. If anything, Cathleen was easily one of the most powerful Heroes seen in the story, and that’s thanks to her quirk, which is arguably the very best in the series alongside All For One and One For All. Her quirk is known as “New Order” and allows her to basically manipulate reality. In short, she could modify herself or her environment, but with a few rules.
Firstly, she had to touch her target, and then speak their name before saying what she wanted to happen. This all made her insanely powerful, so much so that she almost took down the story’s main antagonist, Shigaraki.
However,she was sadly killed while fighting Shigaraki. Since he is technically two people, she couldn’t therefore say his actual name. This led to her death, which many fans believe was just Shigaraki’s plot armor as he had to survive for the sake of the story. Nevertheless, a new number one USA Hero rises to the Number One spot.
The New USA Number 1 Hero - Agate Minou
A User of the Quirk “Fault Line”
Horikoshi, the mangaka of the series, has just revealed the identity of the newest USA Number 1 Hero, and it’s a woman named Agate Minou. This was revealed in the newestMy Hero Academiabook,My Hero AcademiaFanbook Ultra Age.
Frankly, there is no information about who she is aside from this, and all fans know at the moment is the name of her quirk, which is Fault Line, written in Japanese as“断層”.
Fans definitely hope to have more information about her in the future. At the very least, fans could expect her to be comparable to other top heroes from Japan, but she could also possibly be close in power to Star And Stripe, dependingon what the power of her Quirk truly entails.
Available on Manga Plus and Crunchyroll
The My Hero Academia manga has been fully concluded by the mangaka, Horikoshi. The story features 430 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters can be found onManga Plus, as the story used to be serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump when it was still ongoing.
