by

Summary

  • My Hero Academia features multiple hero schools aside from U.A., with Ketsubutsu, Shiketsu, and Isamu producing many powerful heroes.
  • Strong students from Ketsubutsu Academy like Yo Shindo, Shikkui Makabe, and Itejiro Toteki excel with their unique quirks and excellent teamwork.
  • Standout heroes from Shiketsu High School, like Camie Utsushimi and Seiji Shishikura, showcase some of the most versatile and efficient quirks in the series.

The primary storyline of “My Hero Academia” revolves around Izuku Midoriya’s journey at U.A. High School, Japan’s top hero school. During his time there, he not only mastered the skills to become a proficient Pro Hero, but also made friends and allies who had a profound impact on his life. It’s worth mentioning that some of the most powerful Pro Heroes have studied and graduated from this school. However, it’s important to note that other hero academies have been introduced in the series as well.

In this imagined Japan, Ketsubutsu, Shiketsu, and Isamu are additional significant hero schools, each playing a crucial role in molding strong pupils who eventually transformed into heroes as powerful as those who graduated from U.A. High School. It’s worth mentioning that the world of “My Hero Academia” is teeming with students hailing from various hero schools, and here are the most potent ones in the series.

8. Shikkui Makabe (Mr. Smith)

Ketsubutsu Academy High School

  • Quirk: Stiffening
  • Debut: Chapter 103 (Manga) Episode 53 (Anime)

During the Provisional Hero License Exam, numerous characters hailing from various hero schools across Japan made their appearance, one notable group being the third-year students from Ketsubutsu Academy High School. Among them is Shikkui Makabe, who squares off against U.A.’s Class 1-A during the initial stage of the exam, leaving a lasting impression.

Shikkui’s ability, Stiffening, works in a way that contrasts Kirishima’s. Instead of solidifying himself, he can cause other items to stiffen or become as hard as concrete. This transformation makes seemingly light objects like rubber balls feel unusually heavy. When used wisely, this power proves quite effective, particularly when combined with Itejiro Toteki’s Boomerang quirk. Despite not being at the same skill level as Class 1-A, Shikkui earned his provisional hero license and eventually advanced to become a Pro Hero following his graduation.

7. Itejiro Toteki (Boomerang Man)

Ketsubutsu Academy High School

  • Quirk: Boomerang
  • Debut: Chapter 103 (Manga) Episode 53 (Anime)

In this scenario, Itejiro Toteki is a classmate of Shikkui Makabe, both being third-year students at Ketsubutsu. Notably, Itejiro tends to collaborate closely with his fellow student. He possesses the unique ability known as the Boomerang quirk, which empowers him to manipulate the path of any thrown object and even guide it towards specific targets.

It appears that Itejiro’s strength is comparable to Shikkui Makabe’s, given their quirks complement each other effectively. However, Itejiro seems to have a slight edge in efficiency due to his unique move, Trajectory: Crescent Moon. This ability allows him to send projectiles underground, catching opponents off guard. Similar to other Ketsubutsu students, Itejiro obtained his provisional hero license, graduated post-Final War, and is now a professional hero.

6. Camie Utsushimi (Illus-o-Camie)

Shiketsu High School

  • Quirk: Glamour
  • Debut: Chapter 102 (Manga) Episode 53 (Anime)

Shiketsu High School stands shoulder to shoulder with U.A. High School in Japan when it comes to prestige and productivity, making its students exceptionally strong, intelligent, and capable. One such student is Camie Utsushimi, a sophomore who boasts one of the most versatile and remarkable quirks seen throughout the series – Glamour.

With her abilities, Camie crafts illusions so vast they can fill entire rooms, making them seem incredibly realistic to the point of fooling even seasoned heroes and villains like All For One. Despite not having great physical strength, she excels in mental strategy games to outwit her adversaries, which is why she was accepted as a Pro Hero upon graduation. Now, she collaborates with her friend and former classmate, Seiji Shishikura, serving as his sidekick.

5. Romero Fujimi

Isamu Academy High School

  • Quirk: Zombie Virus
  • Debut: Training of the Dead (OVA)

In the anime version of “My Hero Academia”, they skillfully enriched the intriguing universe by presenting new hero schools that weren’t present in the manga, such as Isamu Academy High School, which took center stage in the “Training of the Dead” OVA. The standout student from Isamu Academy is none other than Romero Fujimi, who possesses a unique and potentially harmful quirk known as Zombie Virus.

This ability enables him to release a pink gas that transforms anyone who breathes it into mindless zombies. Remarkably effective, he managed to convert every student in Class 1-A of U.A. High School into zombies using this gas. Unfortunately, Romero is not exempt from his own power and must always wear a mask over his mouth while utilizing it. Given his boastful and competitive nature, it seems he ranks among the most powerful students at his school, much like his new adversary, Katsuki Bakugo.

4. Nagamasa Mora (Chewyee)

Shiketsu High School

  • Quirk: Extend-o-Hair
  • Debut: Chapter 102 (Manga) Episode 53 (Anime)

In the anime “My Hero Academia”, it’s common for the representatives of each class at the hero school to be outstanding students, and Nagamasa Mora from Shiketsu’s second-year class is no different. He has shown himself to be both intelligent and competent in his limited screen time, earning him the role of class representative, a title he truly deserves.

Beyond that, his unique ability, Extend-o-Hair, is remarkably beneficial since it enables him to extend his hair to abnormal lengths and control each strand like tendrils. This gives him the capacity to cover vast spaces, subdue adversaries, and even craft resilient armor using his long hair. While Horikoshi never explicitly stated that Nagamasa joined the ranks of Pro Heroes like his fellow students, he excelled during the Provisional Hero License Exam and was even involved in the Final War, suggesting that he may have become a Pro Hero upon graduation.

3. Seiji Shishikura (Shishikross)

Shiketsu High School

  • Quirk: Meatball
  • Debut: Chapter 102 (Manga) Episode 53 (Anime)

Among the distinguished graduates from Shiketsu High School, Seiji Shishikura stands out as particularly noteworthy. This is not just due to his arrogant demeanor and the ominous appearance of his superhero outfit (often mistaken for a villain’s), but also because his ability, Meatball, is one of the oddest and most unsettling powers in the series.

With this ability, Seiji has the power to mold human tissue, enabling him to launch flying blobs of flesh that serve dual purposes: they can provide lift for himself and his comrades or, conversely, transform any foes who come into contact with them into stationary meatballs. Despite its unsavory aspects, this skill is remarkably effective, as demonstrated by Seiji’s ability to immobilize numerous adversaries simultaneously. It comes as no shock that he held a pivotal position during the Final War. Post his graduation from Shiketsu High School, eight years later, he rose to become the #41 Pro Hero of Japan.

2. Yo Shindo (Grand)

Ketsubutsu Academy High School

  • Quirk: Vibrate
  • Debut: Chapter 102 (Manga) Episode 53 (Anime)

It’s undeniable that Yo Shindo stands out as the most impactful and memorable student from Ketsubutsu Academy’s third-year class. This is largely due to his extraordinary ability, Vibrate, which enables him to produce strong vibrations and shockwaves capable of passing through any substance. In fact, he can generate earthquakes so powerful that they can leave any adversary in the vicinity temporarily immobilized.

Shindo didn’t only clear the exam and receive a temporary hero license, but he also held his ground against the notorious villain Muscular. Unfortunately, Izuku Midoriya had to step in to save him during the battle. It appears that Shindo was simply at a disadvantage against Muscular, as evidenced by his past participation in the Final War, his survival, graduation, and rise to become Japan’s 20th ranked Pro Hero eight years later, showcasing his considerable strength.

1. Inasa Yoarashi (Gale Force)

Shiketsu High School

  • Quirk: Whirlwind
  • Debut: Chapter 102 (Manga) Episode 53 (Anime)

Despite being a first-year student at Shiketsu High School during the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc, Inasa Yoarashi managed to outperform seniors like Camie, Seiji, and Nagamasa, eventually becoming one of Japan’s top 16 Pro Heroes eight years after graduation.

I’m absolutely thrilled by Inasa Yoarashi! His quirk, Whirlwind, is simply incredible – it gives him the ability to manipulate air currents, which he uses to create destructive tornadoes, whirlwinds, and even hurricanes! But that’s not all; he can also use it for flight at high speeds. During the Final War Arc, Inasa showcased his true potential against All For One, particularly when teaming up with Fumikage Tokoyami and Gigantomachia. With his energetic and hardworking spirit, it’s no wonder he’s among the top Pro Heroes in the country. He’s certainly on par with U.A. High School standouts like Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, and Izuku Midoriya!
