Horikoshi Reveals The Best Hero Of All Time

All Might Earns This Title Over Deku

The newest book for the My Hero Academia series, My Hero Academia Ultra Age, has revealed a lot of new information concerning the series and its characters.

This book had profiles for many of the characters, and each of these profiles carries both old and new information. One of these profiles reveals the best hero of all time to the fans, and some are certainly surprised by the pick. For those who haven’t guessed yet, this hero is none other than All Might, or Toshinori Yagi.

This might not necessarily come as a surprise to everyone, after all, All Might was widely beloved even before the entire events of My Hero Academia. Even though people started to lose hope in him later on, faith in All Might was never truly gone. He especially regained everyone’s trust during the Final War, where he took on All For One, despite having lost his quirk powers.

He lost against All For One, but his bravery and conviction, as well as all his previous contributions truly make him the best Hero of all time.

In the fanbook, it was also revealed that All Might is currently the Vice Principal of UA, which is the perfect role for him as he can continue building the next Hero generation, given that he is on the front lines anymore.

The Other Heroes Who Could Have Gotten This Recognition

Deku Is The Biggest Contender For The Title

While fans aren’t necessarily surprised that All Might is considered the best Hero of all time, many would have thought that title would go to Deku instead. After all, becoming the greatest hero was Deku’s goal at the beginning of the series, and he was the one who finally defeated the ultimate villain, Shigaraki, at the end of the My Hero Academia series.

In a way, both Deku and All Might are more than deserving of this title. Another Hero who could have potentially received this title is Bakugo. Bakugo is the one who finally took down All For One after All Might couldn’t keep up anymore.
