by

This article contains spoilers from My Hero Academia‘s Final Arc.

The manga series “My Hero Academia” has already concluded, but its popularity continues to thrive due to the impending release of its Final Season in anime, scheduled for later this year. Additionally, the author’s frequent releases of supplementary content further maintain excitement among fans, even though the manga has already ended.

Enthusiasts of “My Hero Academia” were recently delighted with another one-shot from the author, similar to the first one, which unveiled thrilling insights about the Pro Heroes following the series’ conclusion. To everyone’s astonishment, not only did Horikoshi share a Pro Hero who outshone Deku, but this character initially seemed far from surpassing him.

Deku Becomes The Number 4 Hero In MHA

  • Deku Is Officially A Hero Once Again
  • He Took The Number 4 Rank Officially

In the aftermath of the Final War, fans will recall that Deku’s heroic life took a dramatic turn, coming to an abrupt halt as he gave up the One For All. This selfless act saved the world, but it also meant that the embers of his Quirk faded away before graduation, preventing him from becoming a Pro Hero. Despite this setback, Deku persevered and chose instead to impart his wisdom and experiences at U.A., dedicating himself to nurturing the next generation of heroes.

Fortunately, Horikoshi devised an extraordinary gift for Deku, the world’s savior, and unveiled a Hero Armor tailored just for him. With this armor, Deku regained his heroic status. As per Horikoshi, the Hero Armor that Deku employs can imitate the abilities of the One For All Quirk, and it also enables him to amalgamate various powers, similar to how One For All functioned. Here’s a quote from him about it:

Question: How does the armor that Deku received from Class A function?

Horikoshi’s creation attempts to emulate several powers granted by the OFA, such as the extension cables which operate similarly to the Black Whip power. Moreover, it serves as a testing ground for combining multiple abilities.

Due to his impressive abilities, Deku has risen to the rank of one of the top four heroes in the world of My Hero Academia, as confirmed by the author. This exciting news has delighted fans everywhere.

Mt. Lady Ranks Among The Strongest Heroes Right Now

Mt. Lady Is A Very Powerful Hero

Despite the fact that Deku possesses remarkable powers akin to One For All, he hasn’t managed to outshine Mt. Lady on the Hero Billboard Chart yet, holding the Number 3 Hero rank. This revelation has left many “My Hero Academia” fans astounded, as they didn’t anticipate her to reach such power and prominence within the series. Initially, Mt. Lady was a novice in her hero career when the series began, hence she wasn’t performing at her peak. However, it appears that Mt. Lady has fully realized her potential, becoming powerful enough to be associated with Mirio, Shoto, Deku, and Bakugo on the Hero spectrum.

Is Mt. Lady Stronger Than Deku?

It remains challenging to determine if Mt. Lady possesses greater strength than Bakugo, however, the potential certainly exists, implying that My Hero Academia has added yet another exceptionally powerful female hero to its roster.

The mangaka Horikoshi concluded the My Hero Academia manga in 2024 and altogether there are 430 chapters for readers to enjoy. These chapters can be found on Manga Plus, as the story was initially published weekly in Shonen Jump magazine during its run.

In terms of the anime, the series hasn’t yet premiered its last season, set to air later in the current year. You can catch up with it on Crunchyroll.
