Summary
My Hero Academia’slatest databook, called Ultra Age fanbook, is out officially and fans were eagerly anticipating its release. Finally, information about the book is slowly getting out and a lot of exciting reveals are being made by the author.
Even thoughMy Hero Academiaended almost a year ago, fans know that this story still holds tremendous weight, as is evident bythe latest Q&A interview that Horikoshi did, and at the same time, the incredible reaction that fans gave to the bits and pieces of information revealed by Horikoshi.
How Deku Received His Hero Suit At The End Of My Hero Academia
Fans know thatMy Hero Academia’sending, despite being good, had some controversial elements, and one of the biggest reasons why fans considered it or be controversial was simply because the story showed Deku losing the One For All official. Despite having spent a long time honing the powers of the Quirk and making it his own, Deku still ended up losing its powers, which was certainly a shame for the fans to see. Still, the author did make up for it not long after,as Deku gained a new Hero suit, similar to the one that All Might used in the Final War in his battle against All For One.
However, in the case of Deku’s suit, the advancement of technology simply meant that it was far stronger overall. Deku’s Hero suit was funded by his Class 1-A friends, especially Bakugo, and also All Might. While this suit allowed Deku to be a Hero again, fans didn’t exactly get to see what powers it held. Now, however, Horikoshi has officially revealed the abilities of Deku’s Hero suit, and needless to say, fans are extremely hyped about what it can do and can’t wait to see it in action.

Deku Can Use All The One For All Powers
All Might’s Hero suit was first shown to the fans in the Final War, and it was strong enough to hold out against a young All For One with tremendous power. All Might was seen copying the Quirks of his students, and fans knew, based on that, that Deku’s suit would most likelyallow him to use powers similar to One For All. Here’s what Horikoshi had to say about Deku’s Pro Hero Suit and its powers:
Question: How does the armor that Deku received from Class A function?
Horikoshi: It tries to mimic various OFA abilities, for example, it has cable extensions that function like his ability Black Whip. It also serves as a prototype where he can try to combine various abilities.
How Strong Is Pro Hero Deku?
Fans don’t know the full strength of Pro hero Deku, but All Might clearly stated that during the 8 years that passed after the war, technology evolved immensely, meaning Deku’s Pro Hero suit is far stronger than All Might’s and it should be able to replicate the results produced by One For All.

He’s rising through the billboard chart at a blistering pace, which shows that his Pro Hero Suit is strong enough to see him compete with other top Pro Heroes. Perhaps, Deku will even go on to claim the Number 1 Hero position eventually.
