My Hero Academia: Horikoshi Officially Confirms Pro Hero Izuku Midoriya's Power Level

My Hero Academia ended in late 2024, but the fans of the series can consider themselves blessed since Kohei Horikoshi, the author of the series, has consistently been dropping new content for everyone to enjoy. In 2025 alone, Horikoshi has given fans a one-shot, a fanbook, an art book, and drawn many amazing illustrations for the art exhibition.

Thanks to all the extra content that My Hero Academia fans received from Kohei Horikoshi this year, they now have a lot of exciting information about their favorite Pro Heroes after the end of the series. The protagonist of the series, Izuku Midoriya, is on everyone's minds right now, and Horikoshi has officially confirmed his power level at the end of the story. More than that, he's also been revealed to be the current No. 4 Hero by Horikoshi, which makes the fans incredibly excited for what's to come in the future of My Hero Academia.

Kohei Horikoshi Confirms Izuku Is One Of The Strongest Heroes

Izuku's No. 4 Ranking Directly Shows His Immense Power

• Izuku received a Hero Armor from All Might
• Izuku can copy the powers of One For All

Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist of My Hero Academia, has always been a fan favorite, but fans weren't too pleased with the ending that Horikoshi wrote for him, at least initially. When My Hero Academia ended, Izuku Midoriya was revealed to be Quirkless, and this is because he transferred the One For All in order to defeat All For One. He was still left with some embers of the Quirk, but unfortunately, Izuku's embers burned out as well by the time he graduated from U.A.

This is one of the biggest reasons why Izuku ended up becoming a teacher, while all the other students were Pro Heroes. Thankfully, Horikoshi fixed this by giving Izuku Midoriya a Hero Armor, and this armor allowed him to become a Pro Hero once again, and fight alongside his friends. Izuku became a very powerful Hero, and after the end of the manga, Kohei Horikoshi officially revealed what his power level was.

In the latest one-shot of My Hero Academia, Kohei Horikoshi strongly indicated that Izuku Midoriya is among the top-tier Heroes in Japan. This is because just months after receiving his Hero Armor, Izuku Midoriya ended up rising to the position of Number 4 Hero in Japan. This is absolutely massive, and the fact that he's ahead of Bakugo in rankings means that Izuku and he should be relative in power level.

What Izuku's New Hero Armor Means For MHA

Izuku Midoriya Can Still Become The No. 1 Hero

Izuku Midoriya's new armor has made him a powerful Hero again. It must be remembered that Izuku can use his armor to copy all the powers of the One For All Quirk. He can use all the vestiges' powers as well, and on top of that, he can also use the power of his Quirk to combine various abilities, like he used to with One For All. This means Izuku's dream of rising to the top is alive and well.

He's not too far away from Mt. Lady, Shoto Todoroki, and Mirio Togata. If Izuku could rise so high in just a few months, after a few years, he could legitimately be the strongest Hero in Japan, and that means Izuku has a fair chance of becoming the new No. 1 Hero.

The My Hero Academia manga concluded with 431 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters can be found on Manga Plus. When it comes to the anime, this series is still awaiting its final season, which will be released later this year. The series can be watched on Crunchyroll
