Summary

  • Fans believe Kouki Terumoto could be the next protagonist of a potential MHA sequel.

The popular anime series “My Hero Academia” continues to thrive even after its conclusion nearly a year ago. It remains a hot topic among fans, who are constantly treated to fresh content by the author. This frequent release of new material keeps the fanbase engaged and anticipating what’s next. Although the main narrative has come to an end, the Hero world persists and there’s potential for Horikoshi to continue the storyline with a sequel should he choose to do so.

Despite Horikoshi not officially confirming a sequel as of now, it’s widely speculated among fans that the forthcoming protagonist could well be Kouki Terumoto, a favorite character we encountered in the final chapter of My Hero Academia.

Horikoshi Introduces A Child Similar To Tenko Shimura In MHA

  • Fans Mistook Him For Tenko Shimura
  • Kouki Could Be Connected To Tenko

It’s clear that My Hero Academia has a lot of potential for a compelling story, and fans believe the author could create an exceptional sequel if he chooses to do so. While fans hope Deku remains the main character in any potential follow-up, many also acknowledge the excitement of introducing a fresh, young protagonist similar to those typically found in Shonen stories, making it easier for kids to empathize and identify with them.

Don’t worry, child! Grandma is here! — MHA Chapter 430

Interestingly, at the conclusion of My Hero Academia, Horikoshi introduced a character who matches the description. This character resembled Tenko Shimura and found himself without support. The same grandmother who had previously ignored Tenko aided this child, and the events that followed are now part of history. Since this child shares similarities with Tenko, it’s probable that he aspires to become a Hero as well, given his recent experiences.

From my perspective, it became apparent that this particular youngster holds significant importance in the larger narrative, as suggested by Horikoshi’s latest disclosures. Indeed, Horikoshi has unveiled his character’s name to be Kouki Terumoto, who appears to be a strong contender for the lead role in the upcoming chapters of “My Hero Academia.

Kouki Terumoto Could Be The Next Protagonist Of My Hero Academia

Kouki isn’t an accidental character in Horikoshi’s story; his resemblance to Tenko Shimura suggests a deliberate inclusion. In fact, their physical similarity is striking, and the fact that Horikoshi has given him a name hints at his potential importance in the storyline.

His Quirk Is Called Darkness

Horikoshi not only revealed his own name to fans, but simultaneously unveiled the fact that Kouki possesses a formidable quirk called Darkness. The specifics of this Quirk are yet to be disclosed. In the latest artwork from My Hero Academia featuring 144 characters, it appears that Kouki Terumoto is present, and it seems he can generate black smoke from his fingertips, which may be his ability.

If Kouki takes on the lead role in a possible My Hero Academia sequel, fans can expect a captivating character with an intriguing backstory and a strong inclination towards helping others. Furthermore, his exceptional abilities would undoubtedly qualify him as a worthy successor to Deku.
