In this week’s issue of Jump, the manga “My Hero Academia” has come to an end. It was a long and arduous journey, but I made it to the finish line! A big thank you to everyone who read along with me! The honor of competing against so many fascinating mangas in the prestigious Jump magazine will always hold a special place in my heart.

Though the manga has concluded, the comic strips, anime episodes, movies, games, spin-off mangas, events, and countless other efforts continue to keep “My Hero Academia” alive. So, while it may feel like the end, it’s not over yet! Continue to support “My Hero Academia!” Plus Ultra! — Kohei Horikoshi’s Message For My Hero Academia’s Finale

Bakugo Starts His Own Hero Agency

Bakugo Invites Deku To Join Him

Around eight years following the conclusion of the main tale, it was disclosed that Bakugo had established his own hero agency. Interestingly, Bakugo extended an invitation for Deku to join this agency, but Deku chose not to accept. At that moment, it appeared as though Bakugo didn’t have a partner, and he turned down every applicant because they weren’t genuinely keen on surpassing him. It is evident that Bakugo has solidified his status as a highly influential hero.

Bakugo Becomes The Number 5 Hero

In conclusion, it’s revealed towards the end that Bakugo occupies the fifth position among Japan’s Heroes. This fact is directly stated in a one-shot by the creator, Horikoshi. After witnessing Deku’s ascent, Bakugo has been putting in extra effort, which led him to move up in the ranks. However, it’s worth noting that despite holding the #5 position, he is currently the strongest Hero according to Horikoshi himself, as suggested by the Ultra Age Fanbook.

A young man harboring dreams of becoming the top hero. He’s tough, assertive, and exceptionally skilled in combat. His childhood friend Izuku sparks a fierce rivalry due to his rapid development, yet he eventually recognizes his abilities. Post-graduation, he serves as an apprentice under Jeanist before going solo. His prowess in battle is said to be on par with or surpassing Lemillion’s, but his rough demeanor persists, making it challenging for him to advance in the rankings. When joining forces with others, his status among senior heroes mysteriously increases. He’s generally admired by older heroes in My Hero Academia’s Ultra Age Fanbook.
