The results for this year’s My Hero Academia poll was recently published in issue #52 of the Weekly Shonen Jump.
When we thought our favorite hero-in-training Izuku “Deku” Midoriya is going to be number on the rankings, sadly he’s only ranked at number 3 this year. He was at number 2 last year but was taken over by Shoto Todoroki. The hothead Katsuki Bakugo is still number one. Another fan favorite, the Pro Hero Hawks, has entered into the poll ranks this year at 4.
