My Hero Academia is a hot shonen anime series that combines the superhero anime genre with the high school genre, depicting a future where talented youths can get accepted into hero schools such as U.A., Shiketsu, and Ketsubutsu to learn to become pro heroes. Talented teenagers with good Quirks and noble personalities can find themselves in class 1-B or class 1-A, which is a real honor.
Class 1-A already has twenty of Japan’s most promising boys and girls, from Momo Yaoyorozu and Shoto Todoroki to Izuku Midoriya himself, but if possible, U.A. would also accept talented youths from other anime series, and these characters could earn a spot in class 1-A. These trainee heroes all have the heart of a hero and superpowers to rival any Quirk.
10 Princess Shuna Uses Devastating Holy Magic (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime)
Princess Shuna is a kind-hearted and sweet ogre who is also an expert at hospitality and tea ceremonies. She doesn’t often fight in person, preferring to let her brother Benimaru and his allies do the fighting instead. But if she must, Shuna will confront Rimuru’s enemies and obliterate them with her magic.
In battle, Shuna can use holy magic to block enemy attacks, and she can also use the Disintegration spell to vaporize any foe who gets in her way. This is easily on par with any Quirk in class 1-A, and Shuna has the noble, brave soul of a hero to back it up.
9 Uryu Ishida Is A Quincy Prodigy (Bleach)
Uryu Ishida is a Quincy archer, and he is capable of remarkable feats for his age. He is the same age as hero Ichigo Kurosaki and is a first-year in high school, so he’s the perfect age to apply to U.A. and get into class 1-A.
Uryu is a smart and analytical fighter, and he can also summon Quincy bows to destroy Hollows from afar. He can also use Hirenkyaku to move rapidly across the battlefield, giving him an edge on defense. These two “Quirks” and his intelligence would make him a star in class 1-A for sure.
8 Yuji Itadori Is A Mighty Sorcerer In Training (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Yuji Itadori is a recent shonen star who became a jujutsu sorcerer when he ate one of Sukuna’s twenty fingers, and now, there is no going back. Yuji can call upon Sukuna’s power in emergencies, and he can also rely on his formidable martial arts to demolish curses or even rival students in combat.
Yuji’s curse energy serves as a Quirk, and he could join Rikido Sato and Tenya Iida as a melee-oriented hero. He’s also exactly the right age, being a first-year student at high school and the Tokyo sorcerer school, along with Nobara Kugisaki and Megumi Fushiguro.
7 Mako Is A Talented Firebender (The Legend Of Korra)
Mako is a skilled Firebender who grew up on the mean streets of Republic City with his brother Bolin, and Mako was also the captain of the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team. On top of that, he has experience as a police officer, and he has fought many powerful villains and survived.
All this experience would make Mako an excellent prospective pro hero, and U.A. would gladly accept him as a student in class 1-A, where he can put his firebending “Quirk” to good use. He has the fire of Shoto Todoroki and the lightning of Denki Kaminari, making him two students in one.
6 Touka Kirishima Has A Ghoulish Quirk (Tokyo Ghoul)
Touka Kirishima is a ghoul and she knows it, but unlike her ferocious brother Ayato, Touka sees no need to reject humanity. She does her best to live like an ordinary human 17-year-old, including going to school and taking it seriously. She’ll actually feel bad about failing tests, even though ghouls don’t need an education.
Touka’s “Quirk” is her ghoulish nature, which allows her to rapidly regenerate her flesh and fight with superhuman strength and speed. She also has an ukaku-type kagune, manifesting as a single fleshy wing in battle. She could go pretty far in class 1-A if U.A. accepted her.
5 Edward Elric Has The Gift Of Alchemy (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
Edward Elric is a hotheaded but brilliant state alchemist, and he has been practicing alchemy since he was just a boy, along with his brother Alphonse. Both brothers have the mind of a scientist to augment their alchemy, and they also practiced martial arts with their teacher, Izumi Curtis.
Edward already has the heroic personality, intelligence, and martial arts to make it in U.A.’s heroics department, and his alchemy “Quirk” is the last piece of the puzzle. Izuku has seen what Overhaul is capable of with such a power, and he’d be glad to have a classmate rather than an enemy who can reshape matter at will.
4 Azazel Ameri Is A Model Demon Student (Welcome To Demon School, Iruma-Kun!)
In many ways, Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-Kun! is similar to My Hero Academia, and their respective heroes, Izuku and Iruma, can be easily compared. Among Babyls’ demon students, though, it’s more likely that Azazel Ameri would make it into U.A. than Iruma.
Unlike Iruma Suzuki, Azazel Ameri is good in a fight and is confident in her physical prowess and bloodline trait. She is also a smart and responsible student council president, making her a serious rival for Momo Yaoyorozu and Tenya Iida in class 1-A.
3 Josuke Higashikata Has A Hard-Hitting Stand (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
Josuke Higashikata is a Stand user, and in the eyes of class 1-A’s students, a Stand user can be compared to Fumikage Tokoyami’s Dark Shadow Quirk, which is like a Stand in its own right. Josuke is a high schooler, making him the right age to apply to U.A. He’s bound to get into class 1-A.
Josuke may be an obnoxious punk at times, but he has the heart of a hero, and he won’t tolerate any villain. Josuke’s Stand, Crazy Diamond, is a devastating melee fighter that can also fix things and heal people, making it flexible and effective as a Quirk. Josuke would also have a lot of fun designing and wearing his own hero costume.
2 Shikamaru Is A Tactical Leader With A Shadow Quirk (Naruto)
Shikamaru Nara is one of the Leaf Village’s smartest ninja and is usually chosen to lead a team to complete dangerous missions. Shikamaru treats everything like a game of shogi, and he is incredibly insightful when it comes to enemy ninjutsu of all types. He also has his own jutsu to back up his allies in mortal combat.
Shikamaru’s shadow-based jutsu is effectively a shadow possession Quirk, which forces the target to mimic Shikamaru’s movements and prevents them from moving on their own. This could be immensely helpful for any pro hero agency or U.A. training exercise.
1 Levy McGarden Loves Books & Magic (Fairy Tail)
Levy McGarden is a support wizard in the Fairy Tail guild, and she is a highly accomplished and well-educated wizard for being only 17 years of age. Levy loves books, and she has enchanted glasses that accelerate her reading even more, allowing her to quickly research a topic even in the middle of a mission or battle.
Levy then uses her newfound knowledge and Solid Script magic to create a wide variety of tricky magical effects to enhance her allies and slow down her enemies, and class 1-A could absolutely use a student like her. Levy’s vast knowledge and magical Quirk make her just as flexible and intelligent as Momo, and that’s saying a lot.
