My Hero Academia Fans, Get Ready to Make Your Voice Heard!
Hey there, fellow gamers and manga enthusiasts! If you’re a fan of My Hero Academia, you’re in for a treat. Kohei Horikoshi, the mastermind behind this beloved series, has dropped a bombshell announcement that’s got fans buzzing with excitement. No, it’s not a new game or movie adaptation (we wish!), but it’s something that’s still pretty epic – a worldwide popularity poll!
Now, I know what you might be thinking – “A popularity poll? Meh.” But hold on a sec, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill poll. If you’ve been following other big Shonen Jump titles like Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, you’ll know that character popularity polls are a big deal in the manga world. The only downside for us international readers is that these polls are usually Japan-exclusive. However, Shonen Jump has thrown us a bone this time – for the first time ever, we get to have our say in My Hero Academia’s popularity contest!
The Main Stage: Cast Your Vote and Shape the Destiny of Your Favorite Heroes
The first round, aptly named Main Stage, has already kicked off and will be running until September 30. This is your chance to show some love to your favorite characters by voting for them on the official poll website. You can cast one vote per day, so make sure you stay on top of it to ensure your hero climbs to the top spot. The winner of the Main Stage will be crowned the World Best Hero and will be revealed on Shonen Jump’s YouTube channel on December 2, along with a special video.
But wait, there’s more! Round two, known as the Plus Ultra Stage, will commence on December 2 at 8pm JST and will last for 24 hours only. The top three winners from the Main Stage will battle it out for the ultimate title. In this round, you can vote once every hour, up to 12 times in total over the 24-hour period. The winner will be announced on December 3 at 9:30pm JST and will be crowned The MHA, receiving a special illustration from Horikoshi and a statue based on that illustration in the future. So, choose your votes wisely – nobody wants a statue of Mineta, right?
A New Chapter Begins: Exciting Updates and Events for My Hero Academia Fans
As My Hero Academia comes to a close with its 430th chapter after a decade-long journey, fans have more to look forward to than just the popularity poll. Get ready for a fan book arriving in January 2025, an art book in February 2025, and a manga art exhibition happening in Japan next summer. The legacy of this incredible series continues to grow, and you can be a part of it by participating in the polls and celebrating the heroes you love.
Unleash Your Inner Hero and Make Your Voice Heard!

Get your votes in, spread the word, and let the world know who deserves the title of World Best Hero and The MHA.
