How Mirio Togata Became The Number One Hero

  • Mirio Is The Current Number One Hero
  • His Power Is Incredible

In the anime “My Hero Academia,” it’s no shock to anyone that Mirio Togata holds the title of Japan’s Number One Hero. After all, fans have long recognized Mirio’s immense strength. When last we witnessed him in battle, Mirio proved to be a fearsome force, leaving room for even greater power yet to come. Now, as an adult, it’s only fitting that Mirio has grown even stronger and is thriving during his heroic prime.

Mirio’s Quirk has reached unparalleled heights, and it may have been rekindled, propelling him to an exceptionally high power level. To truly grasp the might of Mirio, fans should remember that Shoto Todoroki, a formidable hero in his own right, ranks below him, and this isn’t due to his conduct. However, there is one Hero whose strength could outshine Mirio’s, and that’s none other than Bakugo.

Bakugo Is Confirmed To Be Potentially Stronger Than Mirio

Bakugo Will Undoubtedly Be The Future Number One

Without a doubt, Bakugo stands as the most likely candidate to exceed Mirio Togata and become the Number One Hero. As a matter of fact, Horikoshi himself has hinted in the newest fanbook that Bakugo’s abilities could surpass those of Mirio at this point. The key for him now lies in developing his character. Here’s the quote:

“Bakugo is on track to potentially surpass even Mirio, but he needs to focus on growing as a person.

A young man strives for greatness as a top-notch hero. Despite his rugged demeanor and combative spirit, he possesses an exceptional knack for combat. His competitive nature, sparked by his childhood friend Izuku’s rapid development, initially blinds him to his own abilities. Upon graduation, he serves under Jeanist as a sidekick before going solo. Rumors circulate about his talents being on par with or surpassing Lemillion’s, yet his raw behavior hinders his advancement in the rankings. When he collaborates with others, however, his status among senior heroes mysteriously increases. He is frequently admired by the older hero community.

Bakugo Or Deku Will Surpass Mirio Togata And Become The Number One Hero

Previously, Bakugo had a significant fall in his ranking, but he’s now climbing back up. He was initially ranked 4th, then slipped to 15th, but his recent return to the Number 5 spot indicates that he’s not only working on improving his skills but also his character. In time, it seems inevitable that Bakugo will challenge Mirio for the top spot as Japan’s Number One Hero. He is steadily progressing towards rightfully claiming that position.

A compelling contender for the top spot is Deku, who managed to secure the fourth place. If his Hero Suit symbolizes such power, then it’s undoubtedly possible that he could rise to become the Number One in the future. However, at present, Bakugo appears to be the most likely candidate to hold this position.
