CLASS B-1

Jurota Shishida (Physical Destruction) is rough and straightforward. He doesn't like complicated plans and prefers to just break everything in his path. But at the same time, he is loyal to his friends and will never betray.

Kojiro Bondo (Metal Decay) - Introverted and cautious. His power is dangerous to himself, so he tries not to come into contact with metal. In class, he stays away but is always willing to help if it does not require physical contact.

Ren Hoshi (Light Decay) - Silent and mysterious. Its light kills everything it touches, so it tries to stay in the shadows. In class, he is almost invisible, but if something goes wrong, he appears suddenly and solves the problem with one blow.

Takashi Yamamoto (Magnetic Destruction) is a pragmatist. He likes to disassemble mechanisms and watch them break. Neither evil nor good - he is just interested in how everything works. In the team, he is the one who is the first to notice the enemy's weaknesses.

Mitsuki Kagamine (Chaos Teleportation) - Chaotic and fun. He likes to appear in unexpected places and scare people. Sometimes she does it just for laughs, but in battle, her unpredictability becomes an advantage.

Yuki Aoi (Levitation of Destruction) is calm and balanced. Its gravitational waves require concentration, so it is always collected. In class, she often acts as the voice of reason when others are ready to break down.

Akihiro Hayashi (Sonic Decay) - Serious and responsible. Believes that his power is too dangerous to use unnecessarily. He tries to control every sound he makes, and often trains in soundproof rooms.

Kazuo Sakurai (Sand Apocalypse) is energetic and outgoing. He likes to arrange sandstorms at the training ground and laugh when everyone is trying to shake himself off. He is not evil, just too carried away by his power.

Nipengiki Shoda (Barrier Breaker) is reserved and attentive. He always notices when someone is trying to put up a defense, and he knows how to break it. In class, he is the one who helps others understand how to bypass the enemy's defenses.

Yosetsu Awase (Shadow Manipulation) is cunning and cautious. He prefers to act from the shadows and not attract attention to himself. It is difficult to catch him in a lie, because he knows how to hide even in his own reflection.

Itsuka Kendi (Big Fist of Destruction) is straightforward and honest. She does not like cunning and prefers to solve problems by force. In the classroom, she often acts as a defender of the weak and does not tolerate injustice.

Goraji Onishi (Titanic Explosion) - Gruff, straightforward, but not evil. He likes to break the walls at the training ground and sincerely gets upset if the target is too weak. You can have a normal conversation with him, if you do not hurt his "explosive pride".

Kaito Hitsuji (Measuring Chaos) is a bit of a philosopher. He likes to reason how chaos can be a form of order and sometimes confuses everyone with long phrases. Not evil, not good, but rather curious. In battle, he is the most unpredictable: he can accidentally confuse even his own people, but if he realizes that you are one of his own, he will cover you.

Rindo Kuroki (Shadow Apocalypse) is quiet and withdrawn. His army of clones frightens even teachers. Rindo himself hardly speaks, but his clones can whisper phrases that he would never say out loud. Because of this, many people think that he has multiple personalities.

Miho Amano (Mind of Destruction) is cunning and sarcastic. He loves to play on other people's fears, but he does it not for the sake of cruelty, but to "check what you are made of." Sometimes she is the only one who can calm Renzo down with a couple of caustic phrases.

Yukihiro Katayama (Chaos Freeze) is calm and collected. His quirk requires complete control of his emotions: the slightest outburst of anger will freeze himself. Therefore, he always tries to speak in an even tone and not get involved in arguments. In class, he is considered the most "normal" of all.

Aoi Tokiwa (Destroyer of Worlds) is ambitious and stubborn. She dreams of proving that her power is not a curse, but a gift. He often argues with teachers and arranges his own tests. Her energy is contagious, but sometimes she goes too far.

Sakura Hayabusa (Wings of Destruction) - Proud and a bit arrogant. She believes that her wings make her special, and does not like it when anyone doubts her strength. At the same time, she protects those who are dear to her to the last.

Kaito Ryū (Dimension Destroyer) - The cold king of the class. He speaks little, moves accurately, never raises his voice. If someone climbs without queuing, Kaito just takes a step, and the space next to him slightly "floats". Everyone immediately understands: it is better not to interfere. He is respected even by those who hate the whole class.

Miyabi Himejima (Soul Eater) is the most frightening. Calm, polite, but in her presence, everyone involuntarily takes a step back. She doesn't get angry, she doesn't scream, she just looks as if she's already calculated how much life force she can take. In class, they almost do not touch her: they are afraid to accidentally provoke her.

Renzo Kuroi (Poisonous Darkness) is frankly crazy. He loves when smoke fills the corridors, and laughs if someone starts coughing. Sometimes he arranges "training" in closed rooms without warning. No one is friends with him, but everyone knows that if a mess starts, Renzo will be the first to get into the thick of it - and not because he is brave, but because he has fun.

Asuka Tokiwa (Time Decay) - Calculating and a bit distant. She keeps a notebook, where she writes down how many seconds she "aged" the mannequins on the training ground. He does not get angry and does not rejoice, he just records the results. For her, everything is an experiment. Sometimes her coldness infuriates even Kaito.

Yuma Tanaka (Matter Destroyer) - A grim loner. He hardly speaks, but if someone from the lower grades accidentally gets in his way, Yuma quietly says: "Stand aside" - and that's enough. He does not want to be a villain, but he does not consider himself a hero either. He just wants to be left alone.

Sakura Izumi (Blood Storm) - Impulsive and short-tempered. If someone looks askance at her, the tentacles are already stretching forward. But she cools down quickly and then she can bring tea to someone she almost killed. In the classroom, it is treated like a natural disaster: unpredictable, but honest in its own way.

Class 1-B "Ultimate Villains" are not just strong, but truly dangerous. In U.A., they were held as a "containment project": if there was an all-for-one threat, these 24 would be the last argument. But the stronger they became, the clearer it became: it was impossible to keep them under control.

Kaito Kaito (Ryuuga Kaito) - Dimensional Destroyer - is able to distort the space around him, creating gaps in reality.
Himejima Miyabi - The Soul Eater - Drains the life force from his opponents, empowering himself.
Renzo Kuroi - Poisonous Darkness - His body creates toxic smoke that paralyzes enemies.

Tanaka Yuma - The Matter Destroyer - can split any material to the atomic level.
Sakura Izumi (Blood Storm) controls bloody tentacles that attack enemies.

Rindo Kuroki Rindo - Shadow Apocalypse - Creates an army of shadow clones.
Miho Amano (Mind of Destruction) reads the minds of enemies and uses their fears against them.

In short: this is a story about the fact that heroism is not about superpowers. Deku starts out as a "weak dreamer" and ends as a man who saved someone who couldn't be saved. In the Moscow State Academy, the villains are not cardboard — they are snowflakes of the same society, and the heroes are not gods, but teenagers with exams and burnout. Plus the OST "You Say Run", which inserts wings into the back even through the screen.

In the final battle, All Might defeats All For One with the help of Bakugou, but he manages to transport into Shigaraki's body. Deku realizes that he can't do it alone, and directs the quirks of the past bearers of the One for All at him - this is how he sees Tomura's difficult childhood and "defeats" him in the only sense that makes sense: salvation. Deku loses his Quirk forever, the remaining strength is only enough to finish his studies in U.A. The final episodes are the graduation and epilogue eight years later: the fates of all the characters in the class are shown.

The reaction to the ending of the manga was mixed: many people found the denouement strained, because Shigaraki had grown into such a strong antagonist that it was impossible to remove him in the "usual way". But the anime version actually exonerated this finale: all 11 episodes of the eighth season are above 9 points on IMDb, and MAL gives it 8.9 out of 10.

A "soft" pair of villains, in the end forgiven by the government.

an ideological killer, a "cleaner" of fake heroes. A short but iconic arc that defined the philosophy of the MGA villains.

A clown double, one of the most tragic deaths in the entire title. Some fans believe that he is similar in character to Detpool from Marvel

blood-loving Quirk Transformation: Takes the form of anyone whose blood it has drunk. Not a villainess in the classical sense - a girl whom society decided to "break" rather than understand

eldest son of Endeabor. A living torch with blue flames that burns itself more than enemies. His "disclosure" is one of the main plot bombs of the seventh season

the "young lord" of the League. His real name is Tenko Shimura, the great-grandson of the hero Nana Shimura, the first bearer of One for All. The Decay Quirk - Scatters everything it touches. His story is about how society, "saved" by heroes, created a villain itself: a child in trouble asked for help - and everyone passed by. In the final battle, Deku defeats him not with his fist, but with understanding: he literally enters his memories and lives through his childhood. Shigaraki crumbles to dust, but is defeated morally, not physically.

The "demon lord" of the era of the origin of fads. He gathers other people's forces, lives for centuries, is obsessed with the destruction of ideals. In the finale, he fights a weakened All Might and loses, but manages to transfer his soul to Shigaraki.

sentimental giant-light.

All Might's old mentor, dies in the sixth season (one of the heaviest scenes).

a child swordswoman, Todoroki and Bakugou's trainer.

A fast hero, feather wings, a "save all" philosophy - including villains. One of the most morally difficult characters.

Hero No 2 after All Might. Tough, ambitious, in the past he broke his own family for the sake of an ideal heir. His arc is a rare shonen honest analysis of the theme of guilt and forgiveness.

Supervisor 1-A. A Quirk allows you to erase other people's quirks with a glance. Always sleepy, in a sleeping bag with ketchup for breakfast, but the most astute teacher in the history of anime: he saved his students more often than any other adult.

A symbol of peace, a hero No 1 for all time. The One for All Quirk that he passed on to Deku. After being badly wounded, he is only in weakened form, where he is thin and constantly coughing up blood, but in "prime" he is a muscular giant with a smile that calms the cities in itself. His phrase — "I'm here" — has become a meme for an entire generation. In the finale, already exhausted, he fights on an exoskeleton suit against All for One.

Does not speak in words (trauma), communicates through gestures; His quirk is animal control.

Strength grows from sugar. A calm strongman and confectioner.

A raven's head (yes, literally a bird's head). Quirk Dark Shadow is a shadow creature that lives apart from it and is strong in the dark. Gothic-philosophical character, speaks like a character in an ancient poem.

Electricity. He looks cool, often loses consciousness from an overdose of discharges. The personality arc is featured in the movie and the Paranormal Front arc.

Acid from the skin and dancing. A cheerful "queen of the party".

An invisible girl – yes, really invisible from birth. In the final season, it suddenly gains a storyline and becomes visible.

The Quirk is an elbow ribbon, in fact, the "Spider-Man" of Japan. Funny, humorous.

Quirk Creation - Produces any inanimate object from the fat of its own body, if it knows its composition and structure. The vice-headman, super-talented, but struggling with impostor syndrome - and this is what her arc is built on.

The Earpiece's Jack Quirk is the connector lobes through which she directs sound waves. Musical, ironic, she considers herself "not heroic", but in battle she is irreplaceable.

A frog-girl. The quirk allows you to jump, stick to the walls and lick your tongue to a length of 20 meters (yes, it sounds strange, it works with a bang). He speaks directly and calmly, "kero" at the end of the phrase. The embodiment "looks strange, but the most reliable in the team."

"Red Fighter", Quirk Hardening - the skin becomes like a stone. A symbol of the mani contrast with Bakugou: the only one who calmly tolerates his antics, because she sincerely admires him.

The class prefect wears armor in the style of a medieval knight. Quirk Engine - Engines in the calves that accelerate it to the speed of a car. The hero-brother Ingenium died at the hands of Stein, the assassin of heroes, and Iida almost veered off the path of revenge if Deku hadn't rescued him.

Zero Gravity Quirk - Makes objects (and yourself) weightless. Deku's first friend is cheerful, purposeful, but with a very realistic motivation: she wants to become a hero in order to earn money and help her parents, whose construction company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Her scene in the final arc ("I want to see your smile") is one of the most moved in the manga.

Todoroki
is the Son of the All Devourer (Endevor), hero No 1 after All Might leaves. Half-Half Quirk: the left half of the body is fire, the right half is ice. At first, he used only ice, because fire is the "father's" part, and the father was a tyrant. Brilliant, but emotionally closed. His line is about family, trauma and reconciliation with it, not about strength. The most popular "calm" couple in fandom are Todoroki and Momo Yaorozu.

A bosom childhood friend of Deku and his eternal "rival". Explosive both externally and literally: The Explosion Quirk is the sweat that he detonates with his palms. Proud, rude, shouts "Die!" with the same intonation as "thank you", but honest to the point of impossibility: his main principle is to win at any cost, but only at an honest price. The Bakugou arc is one of the strongest in the shonen genre: from a little tyrant to a hero who is able to die for others (in the seventh season, by the way, he is really killed and revived). In the final poll of World Best Hero fans, it was he who took first place.

The protagonist, green curls, freckles, all scarred - and so on until the end, because he is eager to fight to the detriment of his health. Quirk: One for All is the accumulated power of the previous eight hosts, which eventually "come to life" within Deku. Kind, self-critical to the point of morbidity, an analyst by nature: his strength is not in his muscles, but in the ability to analyze other people's abilities in flight. Emotionally, he grows the most: in the end, he understands that it is necessary to save not only bodies, but also souls.

Izuku Midoriya was born without a quirk, which means that the hero's path is closed to him. But he did not give up: he wrote down everything about the heroes in a notebook, dreamed and one day met his idol - the Almighty, a symbol of peace and the strongest hero. He chose him as his successor and passed on his quirk "One for all" - a power that is transmitted along the chain of carriers and accumulates their power.

Then there are ten years of history: admission to U.A., battles, tournaments, internships, disillusionment with the system, and the Final War. The League of Villains, led by Tomura Shigaraki (who, as it turns out, is also a victim of the system, and not just a "bad" one) and All for One, the eternal enemy of One for All, face off against the heroes in a final, decisive battle.

The action takes place in Japan in the near future (approximately 2100 according to unofficial fan counts). Once in Cincinnati, a child was born, glowing like a torch - so humanity received Quirks: individual superpowers that 80% of the population has. The world quickly rebuilt: there were professional heroes with official licenses, agencies, popularity ratings and, of course, villains.

Quirk is a unique ability, usually "thematic": fire, invisibility, frog body, palm explosions. He develops and trains, but is adopted only from his parents.
Hero Society: Licenses are issued by the Public Safety Commission, and heroes work for agencies under the patronage of sponsors. The best are at the top of the rating.
U.A. High School is an elite high school for heroes, the alma mater of almost all key characters.
The League of Villains and later the Paranormal Liberation Front are the main anti-system of history, the harbinger of a new era where the ideal of "heroes" collapses.

The author is manga artist Koei Horikoshi, a big fan of American Marvel and DC comics. Before MGA, he had two manga projects (Oumagadoki Zoo and Barrage), which the magazine canceled, and Horikoshi almost gave up - "finished with the manga". He was pulled out by editor Hitoshi Koike: "Don't give up. Do everything in your power." So in July 2014, the first chapter about a guy without quirks appeared.

Fun fact: the plot was influenced by... Spider-Man 2. Horikoshi said that the scene where the train passengers cheer Peter Parker on taught him what he wants heroes to be: "A hero is a person who helps ordinary people, and ordinary people help him in return, and nothing else."

The manga was released in 430 chapters and ended on August 5, 2024, exactly ten years after its launch. The total circulation exceeded 100 million copies - one of the most successful titles of our time.
