Recently, Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia, dropped his final fanbook, called My Hero Academia Ultra Age Fanbook. In it, a ton of exciting information about the story was revealed by the author, including the latest Hero rankings in Japan. At the same time, fans also got a good look at Class 1-A once again and Horikoshi indirectly also confirmed who the strongest hero in Class 1-A really is.

The Hero Rankings At The End Of The Series

Mirio Takes The #1 Spot
Shoto Todoroki Is The Number 2 Hero

When it comes to the Hero rankings in My Hero Academia, fans have always been excited to know who stands where. This time was no different in the story. My Hero Academia recently dropped the latest rankings and it is safe to say that the results are somewhat exciting. Fans weren't surprised to know that Mirio Togata went on to keep his position as the Number 1 Hero in My Hero Academia. Following him is none other than Shoto Todoroki, who takes the Number 2 spot. Shoto recently climbed to the Number 2 position in My Hero Academia, as was seen in the oneshot that Horikoshi drew. He now holds the same position as his own father did for quite some time.

Following Shoto is Mt. Lady, who fans know to be a very powerful Hero, especially after the conclusion of the story. She was able to tap into her true strength and become very powerful. The new Number 4 Hero in My Hero Academia might shock some fans, as it is now confirmed to be Deku. With his Hero suit, Deku was able to climb the chart and take the spot of the Number 4.

The Real Strongest Hero From Class 1-A

The Number 5 spot on the Hero Billboard Chart is now occupied by none other than Bakugo. These are the Five mightiest heroes in My Hero Academia, at least based on the Hero chart. But, the series also goes on to confirm that one hero, in particular, is very strong, despite their low rank. This Hero is none other than Bakugo.

Bakugo might be occupying the Number 5 spot on the chart, but he's clearly the strongest, with abilities even surpassing Mirio potentially, as stated in the My Hero Academia Ultra Age fanbook. So, right now, Bakugo is stronger than Shoto and Mirio, and likely holds the spot of the true strongest.

How Strong Is Deku?

It is unclear how strong Deku is. But, the fact that he holds the Number 4 position must mean that he's among the strongest. Deku has no behavioral issues like Bakugo, however, so the fact that he's Number 4 means that he might not be stronger than Shoto and Mirio yet. But, just like Bakugo he's Ben's getting higher gradually, and he might even be stronger than he's given credit for.
