My Hero Academia is at its very end now, and fans have thoroughly enjoyed the Final War Saga throughout its entirety. This Saga has proven to be incredibly exciting for the readers, giving them many amazing battles, and of course, a proper look at the strongest abilities of their favorite characters.

Now that the series is closer to wrapping up, a better picture can be drawn of the strongest characters in the series. In a plethora of incredible heroes and villains, only a handful stand at the top as the very best.

Updated on December 3, 2024 by Rhenn Taguiam: As My Hero Academia Season 7 ends with a cliffhanger that teases the final segments of the Final War Arc that will determine the fate of the world, fans of the superhero series will be excited to get to know just how Deku and his peers will try to defeat the threat of Shigaraki Tomura and All For One – especially with how both villains are multi-Quirk users capable of decimating humankind. However, with fans already having an idea that Deku will somehow prevail at the end of the series, fans might be interested as to just which characters in the series will become the strongest by the end of the story. These include a bunny-themed hero, a copying expert in the sidelines, and even the ever-optimistic expert of intangibility.

14 Rumi Usagiyama

A Cybernetic Rabbit

• World Heroes Association
• Quirk: Rabbit

Introduced as the somewhat energetic and over-eager No. 5 Pro Hero, Rumi Usagiyama codenamed Rabbit Hero: Mirko is known to never go back down out of a fight. While at first seemingly taking the appearance of a jacked-up rabbit, this heteromorph actually had a past of being a hooligan known as “Bunny-Eared Usako.” Despite her status as only No. 5 among the likes of Endeavor and Hawks, Mirko is a force to reckon with. Rumi’s rabbit-esque qualities are amplified further with her physique, essentially granting her enhanced strength, speed, dexterity, and even combat intuition.

Befitting the rabbit archetype, Rumi has incredibly powerful legs capable of jumping and kicking with enough force to take chunks of the ground with her steps. With the Rabbit Quirk, her anti-predatory instincts alert her to any danger. In the Paranormal Liberation War Arc, Mirko is seen fending off Nomu and the more powerful High-Ends alone where even Endeavor had a hard time fighting just one High-End. Although this encounter cost Mirko an arm and both her legs, her incredible pain tolerance allowed her to deal incredible damage to Tomura Shigaraki’s experimental pod – ruining his “perfect” growth. At the end of the series, Mirko is seen still active and more than capable of using her new prosthetics for hero work.

13 Monoma Neito

Quirk Copier In The Limelight

Viewers will develop an early annoyance towards Monoma Neito and his rather cocky personality, especially as the Phantom Thief is known to be loud and sarcastic towards anyone he deems inferior to him. And while his classmates are quick to pacify and apologize on his behalf, Monoma remains comically annoying to others. However, despite his arrogant and antagonistic nature, Monoma has a genuine desire to save others – with his rather teasing attitude a ruse to his insecurity of having an ability that needs him on the sidelines. Monoma’s strategic nature fits well with his Copy Quirk, which allows him to completely duplicate and use another person’s Quirk as long as he makes contact with them. He can use up to four powers simultaneously for up to ten minutes each.

However, his Copy Ability takes the spotlight in the Final War Arc, as a weakened Eraser Head couldn’t use his Quirk-cancelling powers for extended periods of time – a crucial detriment in the war effort against an all-powerful Tomura Shigaraki. Thankfully, Monoma’s Copy can replicate the fullest extent of Erasure, allowing him to weaken Shigaraki to levels that Deku can manage facing. Although not much is known about his Pro Hero status after the series, it’s undeniable how integral his abilities have been to the fight to save the world.

12 Best Jeanist

The Fashionable Fiber Master

• World Heroes Association
• Quirk: Fiber Master

Known behind the mask as Tsunagu Hakamada, the No. 3 Pro Hero Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist is known for his all-jeans costume – a perfect representation of his elegant attitude and belief that influence holds a great deal when it comes to stopping evil. He loves making references to fabric, and is known to be extremely selfless and brave – a fact he took to heart when he faked his resignation in order to mislead the League of Villains into having a false sense of confidence in winning against the Pro Heroes in the Paranormal Liberation War.

Despite his Fiber Master only giving him control over any fabric, his technique is unparalleled. He can use layers of fabric to suffocate enemies into unconsciousness or restrain them, create webs to catch allies, and even use his fabric to catch targets. Such is Best Jeanist’s skill in his fiber control that he can even subdue and bring to the ground the likes of Tomura Shigaraki, who can use multiple Quirks at once.

11 Mirio Togata

The Cheerful Protege Of Sir Nighteye

• The Big Three
• Quirk: Permeation

Introduced as one of the famed Big Three of U.A. High, Mirio Togata and his peers Najire Hado and Tamaki Amajiki were hailed as the best of the current batch of students in the school at the time. Mirio in particular is a powerhouse, as behind his heroic, helpful, and cheerful personality is a fighter to behold. The series ends with Mirio taking the No. 1 Pro Hero spot – a much-deserved ranking due to his sheer optimism, skill, and training as All Might’s original replacement. However, this status is also due to his interesting skill set.

Mirio’s Permeation Quirk allows him to become intangible and pass through anything, even enemy attacks. However, doing so will not only leave him undressed (unless wearing his own uniform made of his own bodily sources) but also deprived of sensory effects. Should Mirio return to normal while phasing through an object, he gets violently repelled away – something he can use to his advantage by dashing toward an enemy for an attack. Such is Mirio’s potential to turn the war on its heel that one could surmise the story required him to lose his Quirk to make sure the League of Villains actually had a “fighting chance” to actually put the heroes at a disadvantage – and it’s only his delayed return to fight against a drastically overpowered Shigaraki that only paved the way for Deku to truly save the day.

10 Tokoyami

Become One With Darkness

• Class: 1-A
• Quirk: Dark Shadow

Tokoyami is a student from Class 1-A in UA, and it can be said that he reached extremely high heights in the Final War Saga. He was focused on his fight against All For One. In fact, even All For One was somewhat wary of his abilities, and that was truly telling of his potential.

Tokoyami essentially surpassed Hawks in this Arc, and his firepower was absolutely devastating in effect. Now that he has gained full control over Dark Shadow, it can be said that he is among the strongest characters in the entire series, with a lot of room still left to grow.

9 Gigantomachia

An Unstoppable Force

• Organization: Paranormal Liberation Front
• Quirk: Multiple

Gigantomachia was always one of the strongest individuals in My Hero Academia. Given that he played the role of All For One’s bodyguard, this comes as no surprise to the fans.

Gigantomacia possesses multiple quirks inside of his body, and these quirks give him superhuman strength, durability, and regeneration, among many other abilities. He is an individual who has always deserved to be among the strongest.

8 All Might (Armored)

Using The Powers Of His Students

• Organization: Pro Heroes
• Quirk: None

All Might, the former Number One Hero, managed to reach the pinnacle of strength and become the Symbol of Peace. He single-handedly defeated All For One once, even though he lost to him as well.

With his new Armor, he is strong enough to fight back against All For One. Although not as strong as in his prime, he’s still very impressive.

7 Endeavor

Still A Powerful Fire User

• Organization: Pro Heroes
• Quirk: Hellflame

The Number One Hero, Endeavor lived up to his rank and title in the Final War Saga and he did incredibly well in his fight against the likes of All For One. Endeavor fought incredibly and could potentially have even ended All For One for good.

However, the latter had other plans in his mind, and eventually, he ended up losing his battle to him. Still, Endeavor proved to be very dangerous, and surpassed the expectations of the fans. Unfortunately, he ended up suffering quite a heavy loss in this arc, and his loss of limb certainly affects him, making him weaker than before at the end of the series.

6 Shoto Todoroki

Perfect Unity Of Fire And Ice

• Class: 1-A
• Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot

Shoto Todoroki is Endeavor’s son and the man who the latter touted to surpass even All Might one day. He possesses the power of Half Cold Half-Hot, and this ability gives him half of the powers of an ice quirk, as well as the power of his dad’s Hellflame Quirk. Essentially, he has the best of both, and this allows him to utilize fire, unlike any other individual in the world of My Hero Academia.

His powers, when brought out at their very best, such as through Flash Fire Fist, or even better, Phosphor, are incredibly devastating to even the strongest individuals in My Hero Academia. He’s surely among the strongest right now, with the potential to reach the levels of All Might.

5 Dabi

Blue Flames To Burn Through Anything

• Organization: Paranormal Liberation Front
• Quirk: Blueflame

Dabi is another son of Endeavor and one who was a member of the League of Villains for quite a while. Also known as Toya Todoroki, Dabi’s goal was to expose Endeavor and destroy his legacy, which would be vengeance for him in many ways after what he suffered at the hands of his father.

In terms of strength, Dabi, who was once deemed a failure by his father, possesses the powers of Blueflame, which are incredibly potent. His flames are so strong that they burn hotter than even Endeavor and Shoto’s. The only downside to his abilities was the fact that he ended up injuring himself every time he used his quirk. However, at the end of the Final War Saga, he awakened his mother’s Ice quirk as well. Now, he has the powers of ice and fire, just like Shoto, and that actually makes him potentially stronger than him.

4 Bakugo

Awakened Explosions

• Class: 1-A
• Quirk: Explosion

Bakugo is one of the strongest individuals in My Hero Academia, and in the Final War Saga, he took his explosion Quirk to the next level. After achieving Quirk Awakening, Bakugo was able to keep up with even teen All For One, and that is truly astonishing.

In fact, he was the one who defeated All For One at the end of it all, and that just goes to show that he can keep up with Deku easily.

3 Izuku Midoriya

The Final Bearer Of One For All

Izuku Midoriya is the protagonist of the series, and right now, he can be considered to be one of the strongest individuals in the story. Izuku had the power of the One For All until recently, along with awakening the abilities of many vestiges inside.

That said, these abilities have now been lost. Still, Izuku had the embers of power inside of him, and his showing so far easily makes him one of the strongest characters of all time. He still has a bit of potential left to fulfill, and fans already know that he will become the future Number One Hero, surpassing the legacy of All Might.

2 All For One

Truly A Horrifying Quirk User

• Organization: Villains
• Quirk: All For One

All For One himself is one of the ultimate villains in My Hero Academia, and he reached unprecedented heights, especially in the Final War Saga, when he returned to his young self and surpassed every version of his that the fans have ever seen.

All For One, at his very best, is certainly one of the strongest individuals in the series, with the power to steal and stockpile any Quirk that he wants. When he took over Shigaraki’s body, he was nigh unstoppable.

1 Shigaraki Tomura

Destruction Is The Least Of Anyone’s Problems

• Organization: Paranormal Liberation Front
• Quirk: Decay, All For One

Shigaraki Tomura is the strongest individual in the entirety of My Hero Academia that the fans have seen. He was born with the power of Decay, which later went through reawakening, strengthening it greatly.

He was also operated upon, and his body was made as strong as that of All Might. Above all, he was given the All For One Quirk as well, and right now, he is essentially a destruction incarnate whose strength as well as capability is said to surpass that of even All For One. He can destroy the entirety of Japan if he wants, and that in itself makes him the strongest individual to exist in My Hero Academia.
