This article contains spoilers from the conclusion of My Hero Academia.
Overview of Hero Rankings
- Nejire Hado: Her remarkable capabilities should earn her a place higher than 7th.
- Kirishima: His true power overshadows his 12th rank; increased solo endeavors could elevate his status.
- Bakugo: Despite his immense strength, Bakugo’s 15th ranking is surprisingly low, largely influenced by his attitude.
The finale of My Hero Academia has recently captivated fans, revealing a wealth of exciting developments within its final volume. Accompanying this was a 38-page epilogue from creator Horikoshi, which enriched existing character arcs and built upon the closure offered in Chapter 430.
Moreover, Chapter 431 introduced updated Hero rankings for numerous characters, revealing some unexpected standings. While many Heroes fell within anticipated ranks, others surprised fans with their notably low placements.
6. Nejire Hado
Hero Rank: 7th
Nejire Hado stands out as one of the most formidable Heroes in the My Hero Academia universe, being part of the esteemed UA Big 3 alongside Mirio and Tamaki. Given her exceptional abilities, many fans believe she deserves a rank well within the top five.
Her charming personality and potent Quirk contribute to her fanbase’s adoration, yet her current ranking may stem from limited opportunities to establish her legacy prominently, unlike her peers. Many anticipate that with time, Nejire will solidify her position among Japan’s elite Heroes, as even being placed 7th seems an undervaluation of her potential.
5. Kirishima
Hero Rank: 12th
Fans have long expected great things from Kirishima, a prominent Hero in U.A. Class 1A. Despite being ranked 12th in Japan—a commendable achievement—it doesn’t accurately reflect his true capabilities. Many argue he belongs within the top 10 due to his strength and potential.
His current placement can be attributed to his recent decision to pursue solo missions, which may provide him with further opportunities to showcase his abilities and climb the hero rankings.
4. Tamaki Amajiki
Hero Rank: 18th
Tamaki, another key member of the UA Big 3, boasts an astonishing but underwhelming rank of 18th. As one of the upper echelon Heroes, it is surprising that he does not find himself in the top echelon of hero rankings.
His Quirk, which offers outstanding versatility, should reasonably position him around the top 10, if not higher. There is optimism among fans that he will develop further and ascend to a more appropriate ranking in the future.
3. Fumikage Tokoyami
Hero Rank: 17th
Expectations have always been high for Fumikage Tokoyami, especially after he showcased his immense power against major foes like Redestro and even challenged All For One during his student days. Given the eight years that have followed, he has certainly had time to grow significantly stronger.
Despite this, he finds himself ranked 17th, which many fans argue is far too low and fails to reflect his growth and abilities. A rank among the top 10 would be a more fitting evaluation of his talent.
2. Ochako Uraraka
Hero Rank: 25th
As a leading female figure in the series, Ochako Uraraka plays a significant role in transforming the Hero society through her impactful Quirk Counseling. Even with her impressive strength and the evolution of her Quirk, her ranking remains at a surprisingly low 25th.
Many fans believe her current standing does not do justice to her capabilities and contributions. Her future endeavors could see her reach a much-deserved higher position in the hierarchy of Heroes.
1. Katsuki Bakugo
Hero Rank: 15th
The most astonishing revelation from Chapter 431 was Katsuki Bakugo’s ranking as the 15th Hero in Japan. His previous ranking as the Number 4 Hero was impressive but ultimately did not adequately reflect his strength, making his current placement shocking.
Bakugo’s tendency to act out and his fiery temperament have hindered his upward momentum in the rankings. Despite these setbacks, many fans firmly believe that his talents warrant a higher rank, and there is hope that he will reclaim his status among the top Heroes in future developments.
