Mirio’s Permeation Quirk is on a whole new level, and more than that, it might even have reawakened, which pushes him to a very high level. To get a proper idea of how strong Mirio is, fans need to keep in mind that Shoto Todoroki, despite being a monster himself, is still behind him in Hero rankings, and in his case, it isn't down to his behavior.

A boy who aspires to be the number one hero. He has a rough and aggressive personality but a genius talent for fighting. He feels a strong rivalry with his childhood friend Izuku due to his rapid growth, but gradually begins to acknowledge his abilities. After his graduation, he becomes a sidekick under Jeanist, and then goes independent. His abilities are said to be equal to or even greater than those of Lemillion, but he can't get rid of his rough behavior and is struggling to rise in the rankings. When he teams up with others, his reputation mysteriously rises. He is often loved by the senior Heroes.

Bakugo Or Deku Will Surpass Mirio Togata And Become The Number One Hero

Bakugo might have dropped a lot in the rankings previously, but he's making his way up. He was 4th at first and then dropped down to 15th, but the fact that he is now back to Number 5 shows that he's working on his character too. Bakugo Will inevitably come for Mirio's spot. Eventually, he should rightfully take his place as the Number One Hero in Japan.

Another interesting candidate for the Number One spot is Deku, who somehow claimed the Number 4 spot. If Deku's Hero Suit is this power, then there is absolutely no denying the fact that he can do the unthinkable and become the Number One in the future. But, for now, Bakugo is the one who is almost certain to claim this position.
