BnHA: Favorite Characters


Boku no Hero Academia has a bunch of interesting and likeable characters. The mangaka, Horikoshi Kohei really put tons of effort to make characters stand on their own whether its about their quirk or personality or both. Every character is unique from their design, mannerisms and personality.

If I will enumerate all my favorite characters, I'd definitely mention most of them and explain why. However, that will be most unchallenging so I decided to choose the four characters I like the most. Choosing characters for only four slots proved to be so difficult.

Why four? Because top 5 is too mainstream.

Here it is, the Milo Mango: Top Four Favorite BnHA Characters



4. All Might - I always enjoy his over-the-top mannerisms when he's in buff form and spewing blood in his true form. He always have the most memorable lines.


3. Ochako Uraraka - she always have such a sunny disposition. Her reason for wanting to become a hero made me love her character. She also proved to be a capable fighter when she fought in the tournament during Yuuei's sports festival.


2. Izuku Midoriya - he's different from other MCs out there. He does not have a loud personality, he does not require huge amount of food, he does not have to be cute. He's actually smart and a nerdlord. Most important factor for me, he did not come from a legendary race/legendary place/legendary bloodline/legendary clan/legendary parents. His power was given to him because he deserved it not because he was fortunate to be born with it.


1. Aizawa-sensei - the moment he appeared in that sleeping bag drinking orange juice, I immediately liked the character. I won't even discuss how awesome he is as a hero. He's just cool.



Honorable Mentions:


Here is a list of characters I love but did not made it to the top four. In no particular order:


Iida Tenya - because of his unique way of delivering speech with added gesticulations. He's someone who looks serious but is really comical.



Kirishima Eijirou - everybody's friend. Definitely the nicest guy in the class.



Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu - nuff said.



Fumikage Tokoyami - this guy deserves more screen time. I think his character design (falcon head) is unique. And he's got Dark Shadow, too.



Todoroki Shouto - born with ice and fire as quirks, he's also smart and obviously very powerful. Though his quiet demeanor is a bit generic type of character for me, his character design is not. Besides, who doesn't like the quiet-smart-badass character?


In terms of character design I'm going with only two:



Bakugou Katsuki - his appearance, his hero costume reflects his explosive personality, figuratively and literally speaking.


Shigaraki Tomura - never saw any character that resembles him. The hand in his face and those that support his seemingly fragile body. I mean, just look at him.

This list is subject to change.
