Top Character from My Hero Academia Tops Global Popularity Poll

The global midterm results for My Hero Academia’s popularity poll have been released, and one character has successfully claimed the top spot in every category.

Despite Deku being the main character of My Hero Academia, Bakugo has consistently been the fan favorite. His redemption arc and intense relationship with Deku have captivated the hearts of the entire fan base, making him the most beloved character.

In the manga’s popularity polls, Bakugo has held the top spot for almost a decade, with the exception of the first one where Deku won. This has left behind popular characters such as All Might, Shoto, and Ochako.

Once again, he is demonstrating his strong influence over fans through the latest My Hero Academia world popularity poll. The poll was revealed on August 5, 2024, following the conclusion of the manga. This marks the series’ first worldwide voting event and has garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from fans.

On September 5, the series announced the midterm results of the poll to indicate the current frontrunner – and it is evident that Bakugo has emerged as the winner.

The poll is currently being led by the Explosion user, with Deku, Shoto, Aizawa, and Kirishima following in that order. Hawks and Dabi hold the sixth and seventh positions, while Shigaraki, Endeavor, and Ochako round out the remaining three spots on the ranking.

Despite Bakugo’s expected top spot, there were also some surprising outcomes. All Might and Iida, both major characters, have dropped out of the top 10 rankings.

Fans are delighted to see their beloved character at the top. In fact, one particular user on X shared, “I can’t stop laughing. Bakugo always takes the number 1 spot. I’m sure his haters are crying.”

Another tweet read, “BAKUGOU IS STILL NUMBER ONE AND KIRISHIMA IS IN THE TOP FIVE. YUPPP, WE’RE BACK IN BUSINESS,”as shared in a recent post.

According to a Reddit user, Bakugo is undoubtedly their favorite character. However, it seems that some individuals who are dissatisfied with the ending are also undermining Deku’s chances. The user speculates that this could be due to the fact that many of the most disgruntled individuals are avid fans of Deku, which could potentially negatively impact his ranking in the polls.
