My Hero 8 Academia Characters Who Beat the Odds”
High stakes are common in the My Hero Academia universe. The boundary between life and death is more blurred than ever before, especially for heroes in training, as villains drive society to the verge of collapse and pupils are thrown into actual conflicts. However, the series has frequently retreated from significant character deaths in spite of all this tension. It’s difficult to avoid wondering what would have occurred if these characters had died, even though we’re not saying we wanted them to. In what ways may their passing have altered the plot, the characters, or the tone? Let’s examine eight individuals whose deaths, if they had occurred, may have completely upended My Hero Academia.
Bakugo Katsuki: The Wave of Emotion
Why it would have been so crazy:
During the Paranormal Liberation War arc, Bakugo came dangerously close to death, and for a brief time, it appeared like he might. His unexpected act of selflessness in defending Deku was a unique example of self-transformation for someone who had previously been viewed as a bully. What may have been different: His passing would have been a devastating emotional blow to Class 1-A and might have been the catalyst for Deku’s development. Additionally, eliminating one of the most well-liked characters from the series would have been a bold narrative decision. However, it would have solidified the price of war in a manner that no speech could
A Redemption Encased in Sacrifice: An Endeavour
Why it would have been so crazy: One of MHA’s most intricate storylines is Endeavour’s path to atonement. A damaged man attempting to make amends, he was once a violent, power-hungry hero. His storyline might have ended on a note of well-deserved atonement if he had perished in his conflict with Hood or later in the conflict. What would have been different: His passing would have created a vacuum in the professional hero community and compelled his family, particularly Shoto, to come to terms with his legacy sooner. Additionally, it would have emphasised the idea that heroes don’t always survive to witness the results of their transformation.
Anime to Kickstart
Mirio Togata (Lemillion): The Heroic Symbol
Why it would have been so crazy: The epitome of a bright light in a dark world is Mirio. Peak gallantry was displayed during his battle against Overhaul, in which he lost his Quirk yet persisted in fighting. It would have been one of the most devastating and impactful sequences in anime if he had passed away during that arc—powerless yet unafraid. What would have been different: the fan base would still be in tears, Eri’s remorse would have been heightened, and Deku might have had more difficulty assuming Mirio’s “rightful” power. It would have conveyed the idea that anyone, even the most capable of us, may be killed while performing their duties.
The Last Lesson from the Teacher in Aizawa Shota (Eraserhead)
Why it would have been so crazy:
The glue that keeps Class 1-A together is Aizawa. He is one of the most adored mentors on the show because to his sarcasm, level-headedness, and covert concern for his kids. During the conflict, he even lost a leg and came dangerously near to death. What would have been different: His passing would have represented the move from pupils to heroes as there would have been no more teacher or safety net to keep them safe. It might have been the last impetus for Class 1-A to assume complete accountability for the planet they would soon inherit.
All Might: The Last Chapter of the Legend
Why it would have been so crazy:
Alright, we all anticipated this. Fans believed All Might had died when he defeated All For One with his remaining might. But what if he hadn’t survived? What may have been different: His passing would have signalled a clear handoff to Deku. Without its former icon, the world would have been forced to deal with the growing threat of villains, echoing the belief that heroes inspire long after they are gone. It would have had a huge psychological influence on both heroes and villains.
