My Hero Academia Fans Celebrate Deku’s Rise in Popularity Poll

On Monday, August 26, 2024, the third week of results for the My Hero Academia WORLD BEST HERO popularity poll were announced, with Izuku “Deku”Midoriya claiming the top spot. This is a significant moment for fans of the main character in Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga series, as this marks the first time Deku has surpassed deuteragonist Katsuki Bakugo in the rankings.

Similarly, supporters of Deku from My Hero Academia are encouraging others to keep voting and secure his well-deserved first place position in the overall poll. However, this may prove to be a difficult task as Deku faces tough competition in the final and highly anticipated popularity poll for the series.

My Hero Academia: WORLD BEST HERO Popularity Poll Sees Deku Reclaim Top Spot, but for How Long?

The reason why Deku fans are determined to maintain the protagonist’s momentum in the My Hero Academia WORLD BEST HERO popularity poll is because of the other top-ranking characters. These include deuteragonist Bakugo at number 2, tritagonist Shoto Todoroki at number 3, Shota Aizawa at number 4, Tenya Iida at number 5, Dabi/Toya Todoroki at 6, Endeavor at 7, Eijiro Kirishima at 8, Hawks at 9, and Tomura Shigaraki at 10.

In simpler terms, the top 10 in the poll consists of popular characters and some of the most famous and adored heroes and villains in the series. Although Deku’s achievement of surpassing Bakugo and claiming the top spot in the third week is commendable, it also emphasizes how fleeting such success can be.

As previously stated, fans of the protagonist are well aware of this and are determined to maintain his top position for as long as possible. This involves voting for Deku once a day, with the hope of him remaining at the top until the poll ends on Monday, September 30, 2024 at 11:59PM Japanese Standard Time (JST).

Numerous individuals are sharing on X (previously known as Twitter) to motivate their fellow Deku supporters to maintain the momentum and secure his ultimate triumph in the poll.

“Let’s keep the momentum please [crying emoji],” begged one fan.

“LETS NOT LOOSE THIS MOMENTUM GUYS,” pleaded another.

Some prioritize Deku’s long-term success, while others are more interested in celebrating his current victory.

“DEKU IN TOP 1 [3x crying emoji],” tearfully cheered one netizen.

“We are finally seeing him in the top 1, he deserves it so much [crying emoji, 2x heart emoji],” celebrated another.

Regardless, it is evident that Deku’s entire fanbase is thrilled to commemorate this recent victory for the character. While some are focused on achieving goals during the celebration, others are simply delighted to see him remain at the top spot for at least a week until the poll’s conclusion at the end of September.
