My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi promised a big announcement following the series’ final chapter and it’s… a worldwide popularity poll!
OK, that’s probably not the kind of announcement a lot of you were hoping for, but it’s not insignificant. For those that are unaware, character popularity polls are a pretty common occurrence for the bigger Shonen Jump titles, across series like Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and yes, My Hero Academia. The only problem for international readers is that these polls are Japan-only, meaning you can’t vote for your favourite character to help them take the top spot in the popularity contest. Except, as announced by Shonen Jump, for the first time in My Hero Academia’s serialisation, you can! In fact, there’s a couple of polls you’ll be able to vote in.
The first round is called Main Stage, and it kicked off yesterday, running until September 30. You can actually place one vote a date on the poll’s official website, so if there’s a character you’re desperate to see come out on top, make sure you keep on it for the next couple of months. Then, in December, the winner of the Main Stage round will be announced on Shonen Jump’s official YouTube channel on December 2, receiving the title World Best Hero, alongside a special video.
