My Hero Academia dominates world popularity poll with one character Kohei Horikoshi\/BonesThe midterm results of My Hero Academia\u2019s global popularity poll are out, and one character has managed to sweep the top spot in every category. Though Deku is the protagonist of My Hero Academia, Bakugo has always been its most popular character. Thanks to his well-written redemption arc and intense dynamic with Deku, he\u2019s stolen the hearts of the entire fan base. It becomes most apparent in the manga\u2019s popularity polls. Except for the first one where Deku won, Bakugo has retained the top spot in every other for almost a decade, leaving behind popular characters like All Might, Shoto, and Ochako. He\u2019s showing his influence over fans once again in the new My Hero Academia world popularity poll. The poll was announced after the manga\u2019s ending on August 5, 2024. It\u2019s the first global voting for the series, and so far, it has received an incredible reception from fans. The series released the midterm results of the poll on September 5, to give everyone an idea of who\u2019s leading \u2013 and Bakugo is the clear victor. The Explosion user is now leading the poll, followed by Deku, Shoto, Aizawa, and Kirishima, respectively. Hawks and Dabi are the sixth and seventh entries, with Shigaraki, Endeavor, and Ochako filling the last three spots on the ranking. While Bakugo\u2019s top spot should\u2019ve been expected at this point, there are some unexpected results, too. For starters, All Might is out of the top 10, and so is Iida, despite both being major characters. Fans are still happy to see their favorite character on the top. One such X user posted, \u201cI\u2019m f**king laughing. Bakugo is always number 1. His antis are crying for sure.\u201d \u201cBAKUGOU NUMBER ONE AND KIRISHIMA TOP 5. YUPPP WE BACK IN BUSINESS,\u201d tweeted another. \u201cBakugo is by far my favorite character but it also feels like people upset about the ending are shooting down Deku\u2019s chances,\u201d pointed out a Reddit user. \u201cI suspect a lot of the most upset people for better or for worse are big fans of Deku and that may harm him in the polls.\u201d While the voting for the popularity poll continues, check out our review of My Hero Academia\u2019s ending.
