Horikoshi shows the power of Pro Hero Deku

Deku goes to war once again in MHA 431

In My Hero Academia chapter 431, which is the epilogue of the story, Deku once again unleashes his new powers. This was seen at Shoto's celebration event, where it was discussed that he had risen to second place on the hero ranking chart. Fans saw all of the UA Class 1A heroes as they talked about daily life and all the progress they've made over the years. The conversation was incredibly exciting, as fans got an insight into all of their favorite characters once again, how their lives changed after leaving UA, what agency they were working with, who was going solo, and much more.

All Might was wearing it, which helped him fight against All For One. This armor is probably strong enough to make Deku one of the best heroes of the current era, and that's certainly saying a lot.

How strong is Pro Hero Deku?

Deku should be a top 5 hero power wise

It is unclear how strong Pro Hero Deku is. For one, he's not a full-time hero, which means he's not the top ranker on Billboard. This makes it somewhat difficult to gauge how strong he really is. Pro Hero Deku, at least, is strong enough to keep up with the others. It must be remembered that All Might, with his weapons, became strong enough to fight against one for all. Of course, he wasn't as strong as him, but he definitely did a lot of damage to him and, at the same time, pushed him to the back foot. Of course, a lot depends on the fact that everyone knew what triggered everyone and what his biggest weakness was. But, one cannot take away the fact that he was incredibly dominant in this fight and took many powerful blows from one of the greatest villains of all time.

The armor Deku wears is much better than everyone else's. Furthermore, it's probably all based on one's Quirk strength and all the other abilities he possesses. It should also be noted that Deku has been using his weapon a lot, giving it time to adapt, record and improve its efficiency. The armor that Deku wears should be strong enough to fight any top villain and hold his own. Still, Deku cannot be said to be the strongest character in My Hero Academia. That title probably belongs to the top three strongest, which are Mirio Togata, who is the number one hero, Shoto, who is the number two hero, and of course, Bakugou, who, despite being number 15, may be the strongest of all. . But, Deku should still be in the top five, at the very least, and if his one-for-all power is fully replicated, he could surprise fans and even take the top spot.
