My Hero Academia: 10 Best Episodes

1. One For All

All Might One For All My Hero Academia
Viz Media

Izuku Midoriya is a fantastic protagonist and, without a doubt, the face of My Hero Academia. But, despite that, when you think about the show, the first character you'll probably imagine is the former number one hero, All Might. He's a phenomenal mentor, a loveable character, and one hell of a hero. Thus, it's no surprise that his last hurrah as the symbol of peace was a barnstormer of an episode.

In this one, you watch as All For One and All Might put on an awe-inspiring fight. As the world watches and All Might reverts to his regular form, the façade of the world's greatest hero comes to the brink of collapse. But, he is willed on by the memories of his mentor and the public's cries of support, finally defeating his arch-nemesis.

It's essentially impossible not to get goosebumps when watching All Might hit the United States of Smash and raise his arm in victory. The following moment which sees him pass the torch down to Midoriya through that iconic line "your turn next," is also the perfect way to end this flawless episode.

Seeing All Might's ability to wield One For All come to an end is devastating, but watching him go out as the greatest hero ever seen is inspiring.
