This article contains spoilers from My Hero Academia Chapter 430.

My Hero Academia officially ended, and the world changed in many ways after the Final Arc concluded. In fact, there was even an eight-year time jump in which the order of the heroes changed dramatically, and thus the power of many heroes. By the end of the series, many of the heroes previously known to be among the strongest had already retired, and many others who fans believed to be rising stars had taken their rightful place and established themselves as heroic characters.

Although there is no shortage of mighty strong heroes at the end My Hero Academiaonly some can be considered the very best.

Updated on January 5, 2025 by Oluwatokiloba Folami: The end of the My Hero Academia series brought a lot of emotions to its fans with characters like Midoriya finally on his way to achieving his dream again and many more. With the war and the time skip in year 8, My Hero Academia showed extraordinary character growth. Several characters have experienced phenomenal growth in their strength and abilities, and some have even evolved beyond fan expectations, using their quirks in unique ways. They have risen above their peers in the world of heroes, both in strength and rank, and keep the peace even in the absence of their predecessors.

Tamaki Amajiki

He mastered his Quirk And Rose Among Pro Heroes

Mirio isn't the only member of the Big Three to evolve in the series. Tamaki has gone through a lot of growth, gaining full control of his quirk, Manifest, which gives him an edge and makes him unpredictable in most fights. He is also tactically intelligent, strategizing on the go and stepping in when needed, despite being timid.

Tamaki became Fat Gum's sidekick after graduating from UA High School. Fat Gum believed that Tamaki was above him and some of the other pro heroes in terms of skill, skills he used to become a pro hero after skipping 8th grade, earning him a top 20 spot.

Nejire Hado

She proved her strength alongside the Big Three

The UA High School Big Three were definitely destined to become powerful heroes, and Nejire lived up to that expectation. She has shown considerable strength since their debut and has progressed even further in abilities since then.

Nejire has shown considerable strength so far, from teaming up with Todoroki to overpowering an enhanced but weakened Shigaraki to holding his own against the rest of the Big Three when he wasn't weakened during the Final War. She's now part of the top ten Pro Heroes in the country, and it's definitely not just because of her cute quirks.

Mezo Shoji

An advocate of peace known for his heroism

Shoji has experienced phenomenal growth since his high school years, using his quirks and strength where it matters. He played a major role in the Final War arc, dealing with Spinner, who had been given quirks by All For One, and saving as many people as possible from a seemingly fruitless cause.

He is a great advocate of peace because he knows what it's like to be scorned, especially because of his appearance, and he ensures peace using his power and abilities. For his dedication to issues surrounding discrimination, he received the Imamura Peace Prize after the 8th year of skipping.

Neito Monoma

The Phantom Thief's strategic brilliance

Monoma's growth in strength and character is a twist that most fans couldn't have expected from the beginning of the series. He is one of the few who managed to get to the top without a novel joke of his own, because his joke is copying the jokes of others.

While he may lack in strength, he makes up for it with intelligence, agility, and precision. Its eccentricity also makes it very valuable. Without him copying Kurogiri's Warp Gate quirk, they wouldn't be able to catch the villains off guard. He truly embodied his heroic name Phantom Thief, copying jokes until he reached greatness.

9

Mirko

Continuing to be a hero despite losing limbs

Mirko is a hero that will always be at the top of the list when it comes to strong heroes. Although she lost a substantial part of her body during the wars she fought, in the last chapter of the series, Mirko was still seen equipping herself with support equipment.

This is a clear sign of the fact that she had no intention of giving up her life as a hero, which should mean she's still out there fighting bad guys. Mirko is incredibly powerful and with her new gear, which fans know has come a long way over the years, she should still be among the top Heroes.

8

Mt Lady

He fought for the best places after the Timeskip

While fans know that Mount Lady was not the strongest of the Heroes in the My Hero Academia series, she is believed to have come a long way after the 8-year timeskip.

The growth of Mount Lady seems to have been staggering in the story. In fact, he is considered to be among the top heroes in the country that even Mirio had to fight to rise to the top.

7

Kamui Woods

An influential hero of the current era

Kamui Woods is a very powerful hero that fans saw as a rookie at the beginning of the series. However, after the eight-year timeskip of My Hero Academia, he established himself as one of the most powerful and influential heroes of the current era. Kamui Woods is believed to have had an exciting battle with Miriam for the top spots in the hero rankings, which only shows that he is somewhere in the top five of the Heroes region.

For Kamui Woods to be this high is certainly exciting for all fans and it just goes to show that his power has grown exponentially over the years.

6

Ochaco Uraraka

He reached high levels during the final war

Much remains a mystery regarding Ochaco's hero status at the end of the series, but fans know that she has evolved into a very powerful heroine by the end of My Hero Academia. Her Quirk allows her to cancel gravity on things she touches for a significant amount of time for a defined load. However, after undergoing Quirk Awakening, many of the restrictions from her Quirk were lifted and she was able to save the entire Hero Alliance in Final War all by herself without even being physically touched.

Her powers are not to be underestimated, considering she was strong enough to take on the most powerful members of the League of Villains during the final war, and now, 8 years later, she must be even stronger.

5

Tokoyama

He was brought up by the Hawks as his successor

Tokoyami was always destined to surpass even Hawks as a hero. Now, 8 years later in the story, he had to gain a lot of control over Dark Shadow and surpass his mentor.

Tokoyami will definitely be there, fighting for the position of the strongest hero in Japan, and fans would absolutely love to see him fight more. Unfortunately, his true powers have yet to be revealed, but fans certainly know that he is a powerful hero.

4

Armored Deku

Deku's armor allowed him to become a hero again

At the end My Hero AcademiaDeku has been given new armor and it is believed that his armor is much more advanced than the one All Might was wearing in the fight against All For One. Deku used his armor to fly at the end of the series, and fans know that this armor probably mimics the abilities of the Quirks he had in his body.

While it's unclear how strong Deku really is, he should still be able to compete with the strongest heroes like Bakugo and Shoto.

3

Shoto Todoroki

Surpassed by Endeavor At the end

• Quirk: Half cold and half hot

Shoto Todoroki is a monstrously powerful hero and individual who is believed to surpass even Endeavor and All Might. With the power of his half-cold, half-hot wit, he is a force to be reckoned with.

After the 8-year time jump in My Hero Academia, Shoto would surely gain even more power. He is believed to be skyrocketing in the hero ranks and is believed to surpass even Mount Lady and Kamui Woods soon.

2

Bakugo Katsuki

He became a rising star among heroes

Bakugo Katsuki cements his position as one of the strongest heroes in the My Hero Academia, and after going through Quirk Awakening in Final War, he's on a whole new level.

He was able to keep up with All For One in Final War and after 8 years fans surely know that his overall strength must have gone even higher. Bakugo will soon be competing with Miriam for the top ranks, meaning he could potentially become the main hero in My Hero Academia.

1

Mirio Togata

Number one hero in Japan

Right now, Mirio Togata seems to be the strongest and best hero in the entire country. Mirio has always been touted as the man closest to All Might and now he has lived up to all expectations by taking the top spot.

Mirio is unstoppable and just getting started. The fact that he is able to hold higher ranks than Bakugo and Shoto proves that he trained tirelessly and got insanely strong during the eight year timeskip and that he is in a league of his own right now.
