When My Hero Academia ended and fans found out that all the students had now become Pro Heroes, they were sure that Shoto Todoroki would’ve made great advancements as well. In the final chapter, it was officially revealed to the fans that Shoto and Bakugo were going head-to-head with each other and with Mirio Togata, suggesting that they both had become plenty powerful, and at the same time, had attained a very high rank on the Hero Billboard Charts.

In the first one-shot of My Hero Academia, Horikoshi took things one step further by essentially confirming to the fans that Shoto Todoroki had gained the Number 2 Hero rank in Japan, and that he was just slightly behind Mirio Togata. Shoto is now officially in the running for becoming Japan’s Top Hero. In fact, he is already worthy of this position, which is why many fans are absolutely certain that he will go on to achieve this rank at some point in the future.

He Should Be As Strong As Bakugo
Shoto was recently given the rank of #2 Hero in Japan. So, it would be reasonable to assume that he won’t rise to the top immediately after. Shoto will likely maintain the Number 2 rank for a while, but eventually, he will likely rise to the top, especially since Izuku Midoriya and Bakugo are now on his shoulders, meaning he will likely work extra hard.

That aside, fans know very well that Shoto Todoroki is incredibly powerful already. He possesses strength greater than Endeavor, thanks to his Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk, and he is a determined man who will go to any lengths to save those in need. Shoto Todoroki is the perfect Hero, and certainly one who can be called one of the very strongest as well.
The My Hero Academia manga was concluded by the mangaka, Horikoshi, and features 431 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters can be found on Manga Plus. As for the anime, My Hero Academia Season 8 will be released on October 4, 2025. The series can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
