Just concluded, the final volume of “My Hero Academia” delivered an engaging 38-page coda that left readers intrigued. The story resumed from where it ended in chapter 430, offering a glimpse of Deku post receiving the Hero suit from All Might. This was particularly captivating since fans had been pondering about whether Deku would persist as a hero or not.

It’s quite surprising to many that he took on the teacher role at UA, as portrayed in My Hero Academia chapter 431. Simultaneously, it offers a good look at Pro Hero Deku, fully geared up in his armor, to fans.

How Deku Became A Hero Once Again At The End Of My Hero Academia

  • Deku lost the power of One For All at the end of MHA
  • Bakugo and the other students funded a Hero armor for Deku

It can be accurately stated that Deku emerged as one of the most esteemed heroes within the universe of My Hero Academia. With the responsibility of One For All bestowed upon him by All Might, Deku fulfilled his aspiration to become a hero. By harnessing the power of One For All, he saved countless lives across Japan and played a crucial role in maintaining justice. Throughout his journey, Deku faced numerous formidable villains and emerged victorious over most of them. His ultimate destiny was to confront All For One, an encounter that unfolded during the Final War. The battle between Deku and All For One was monumental, particularly as it transpired within the body of Shigaraki.

Goodbye, One For All! – Deku

Despite Deku’s earnest attempts to rescue Shigaraki and aid him, it didn’t work out, but on the bright side, he managed to eliminate All For One permanently. In the course of this battle, Deku relinquished the power of One For All, returning to his quirkless state. Some readers appreciated this move by the author, but many were displeased that Deku was left quirkless again, given all the effort he’d put into becoming worthy throughout his life. As a result, he embarked on a new journey in life. In the future shown in My Hero Academia, we find out that he became a teacher at UA High School.

At the conclusion of the story, it’s shown that Deku took up the role of a teacher, distancing himself from his old friends due to their demanding duties as Pro Heroes. Being in school, he focused on nurturing young students with immense powers, viewing them as the future of hero society. Despite this, Deky felt he could still contribute as a hero in small ways. Fans rejoiced when All Might reunited with Deku at the end of My Hero Academia, presenting him with an armor, primarily funded by Bakugo. This armor allowed Deku to return to hero work, joining the ranks of other Pro Heroes once more.

Deku Heads Into Battle Once Again In MHA 431

In chapter 431 of My Hero Academia, titled the epilogue, Deku resumed using his newly acquired abilities. This was observed at Shoto’s festive gathering, where discussions revolved around his promotion to the second spot in the Hero Ranking List. The scene allowed viewers a glimpse of the UA class 1A heroes, who shared stories about their daily lives and the advancements they achieved throughout the years. This exchange, filled with anticipation, offered fans another peek into the lives of their beloved characters, revealing changes post-UA, the agencies they joined, those who opted to go solo, and much more.

Amidst all the commotion, the heroes were swiftly summoned into action as a carjacking occurred. A total of 21 heroes sprang into motion right away, and spectators were treated to an inspiring scene of these mighty superheroes departing without delay.

Horikoshi seized the moment to let Deku don his super-powerful armor once more, promptly rushing into danger. Given their immense power, it was no contest for the villain. Regrettably, spectators missed out on thrilling combat, but a close examination of Deku’s abilities suggests he’s as reliable in battle as any other hero. Easily keeping pace with Bakugo, Todoroki, and other strong heroes, this should not be unexpected for fans, since technology has significantly advanced over the past 8 years. The armor Deku now wears is far more sophisticated than All Might’s, which aided him in battling All For One. This suggests that the armor could make Deku one of the most formidable heroes of the present era, a fact that speaks volumes.

How Strong Is Pro Hero Deku?

Deku Should Be A Top 5 Hero Strength Wise

It’s not entirely clear just how powerful Pro Hero Deku is, given that he doesn’t work as a full-time hero and thus won’t be found among the top ranks. However, it’s important to note that he can certainly hold his own alongside other heroes. To put things in perspective, remember All Might, even with his armor, was able to inflict significant damage on All For One and force him into a defensive position. While All Might wasn’t as powerful as All For One, he gave the greatest villain of all time quite a beating. This fight showcased All Might’s incredible prowess, despite taking some heavy hits from the most formidable villain in history. Keep in mind that All Might knew All For One’s triggers and weaknesses, which played a significant role in their confrontation, but his performance was nothing short of impressive.

The armor that Deku wears surpasses the one worn by All Might, and it’s thought to be influenced by the Quirk power of One For All and other abilities he possesses. Over time, as Deku uses his armor frequently, it learns, evolves, and enhances its effectiveness. The armor should be robust enough for Deku to battle against top villains and hold his own. However, it’s important to note that while Deku is a formidable character, he isn’t currently the strongest in My Hero Academia. That title appears to belong to Mirio Togata, the Number One Hero, Shoto, the Number Two Hero, and Bakugo, despite being the 15th ranked hero, who might just be the strongest of all. Nevertheless, Deku should definitely be among the top five strongest characters, and if he fully masters One For All’s powers, he could potentially outshine fans and rise to a higher rank.
