Despite its divisive ending, the final chapter of My Hero Academia continues to resonate following its release, a testament to the series’ successful decade-long presence in the manga industry.
The eight-year time skip in Chapter 430 caused confusion for readers as it was challenging to follow the events that occurred to most characters during this period.
The final chapter of My Hero Academia also revealed that all members of Deku’s class had become Pro Heroes, with notable names like Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki being among the most prominent of that era.
This also resulted in many of them achieving successful careers and gaining widespread fame, such as the admiration kids have for Eijiro Kirishima as the Red Riot.

34 Pro Heroes Featured in the Final Chapter of My Hero Academia in Chronological Order
It’s a widely accepted fact that My Hero Academia’s conclusion sparked much debate among viewers, with the eight-year time skip being a particularly notable aspect.
This chapter revealed the current status of numerous heroes, including Deku’s friends who have all become successful professionals and gained significant recognition, with Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki being two of the most well-known examples.
Additionally, it should be noted that established heroes such as Endeavor, Hawks, and Shota Aizawa were also present in the final chapter of My Hero Academia.
The rankings are based on characters who have achieved the status of Pro Hero, which is why most of Class A’s rankings are revealed later even though they are shown as students in the first few pages. Additionally, Deku only becomes a professional hero on the final page of the manga after receiving a special suit from All Might, hence his ranking being last on the list.
Thus, in the sequential order, all the Pro Heroes who appeared in chapter 430 of this series are listed below:
- Mirko

- Shota Aizawa

The Reception of My Hero Academia’s Final Chapter
The conclusion faced a significant amount of backlash as many fans felt that author Kohei Horikoshi had made some questionable choices.
One of the main criticisms is the lack of information about the characters’ status following the time skip. Many readers questioned the mangaka’s decision to leave this information out in the final chapter. Additionally, there were concerns about the portrayal of the protagonist, Izuku “Deku”Midoriya.
In general, the majority of the fandom believes that Deku’s character was mishandled and underdeveloped, as he is portrayed as a distant teacher who has little interaction with his friends. Additionally, there is no confirmation of a romantic relationship between him and Ochaco Uraraka, despite their canon evidence being the strongest ship in the series.
Despite his contributions as a teacher, the fact that he received a special suit from All Might undermines his efforts and paints Deku as unhappy without powers.
Concluding Remarks
The conclusion of My Hero Academia will likely continue to spark debate among fans because of Horikoshi’s choice to incorporate an eight-year time skip.
The characters’ status was brought into question, evident by the large number of cast members who appeared in the final chapter.
