Summary

  • Deku relies entirely on his hero armor, which will lead to a major power-up in the future.
  • Technology is rapidly evolving in My Hero Academia, contributing to Deku's growth and strength.

My Hero Academia's manga might have concluded, but the world is very much alive still and fans are eagerly waiting to see what kind of developments will take place next. Although Horikoshi has officially dropped the curtains when it comes to MHA, that doesn't mean more projects won't happen in the future.

There are many My Hero Academia movies that could come out in the future, and fans could even see more one-shots from the author whenever he gets the time. Furthermore, My Hero Academia has a ton of potential and fans know that very well, which is why Deku's development as a Pro Hero is very important. After the major information about his growth in the Final Fanbook that dropped last month, fans now know that Deku Is actually set for another Power-Up in the future, and it could very well make him stronger than ever before.

Why Deku Will Get A Major Power-Up In The Future

  • Deku Is Entirely Reliant On The Hero Armor
  • Technology Is Evolving Fast In My Hero Academia

When it comes to Deku's growth in My Hero Academia, fans know that it cannot come naturally anymore. Deku doesn't have the One For All anymore, which means that he cannot train his quirk to grow stronger or get accustomed to higher percentages of One For All usage, or try out new quirk combinations. Unfortunate as that is, fans already know that this can't happen.

But, just because Deku cannot do that doesn't mean he can't grow stronger. In fact, Deku I growing stronger right in front of the fans. He was around the double digits when he debuted on the Hero Billboard Chart, and now, he's officially confirmed to be the Number 4 Hero, right up there with the likes of Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki. Deku Is undeniably getting stronger in My Hero Academia and will continue to do so.

The big power-up that Deku will get in the future of My Hero Academia will, naturally, come through his armor. As stated by All Might himself, over the last 8 years, technology has evolved drastically, meaning Deku's armor is actually a much stronger version of the one All Might used. More than that, this also means that as science grows over the years, so will Deku, and newer things will be incorporated into his armor, making him even stronger.

Deku Could Become The Next Number One Hero

Deku Is Already Rivaling Mirio Togata

Deku is currently the Number 4 Hero in Japan, and he's done all this without even having a Quirk. This might come as a surprise to some, but it makes perfect sense. All Might was pretty powerful when he fought against Prime All For One in the Final War. He performed quite well against him too.

Now, Deku has a much younger body, and a much stronger armor suit, which only means that he's far stronger than All Might. The powers of his suit are officially confirmed to mimic the One For All, which means that potentially, he has all the powers that he lost. If they're even remotely comparable, Deku will inevitably go on to claim the top spot as the Number One Hero eventually, and he will only be rivaled by the likes of Bakugo.
