My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi is a story set in a world where people are born with unique powers called Quirks, the usage of which has led to the rise of Heroes and Villains. With tonnes of powerful Heroes existing in the world, there also exists a ranking system in the form of the hero billboard chart. Based on their strength and popularity, all heroes are ranked in their country.
All Might, the greatest hero to ever live, was Japan's Number One Hero for a long time. After his retirement, Endeavor took the Number One spot before eventually being replaced by the new generation and overtaken by Lemillion, Mirio Togata. Mirio's ascension to Number 1 definitely surprised many, as we all believed that, by the end of My Hero Academia, the new number one hero would be none other than All Might's own successor, Izuku Midoriya, the previous holder of One For All.
Unfortunately, because of Deku's quirk loss and the long time it took for him to be able to become a Pro Hero, he has yet to gain this position. However, Horikoshi has set up a new bright future for My Hero Academia following the release of the latest special episode, titled “I am a Hero too,” on August 2, 2026. Now, Izuku Midoriya stands a shot at becoming the top Pro Hero with his new Hero Armor, and all this could be revealed in the next My Hero Academia project, which is being set for a potential reveal at Jump Festa 2027 in December.
