My Hero Academia’s Replacement for Deku Feels More Perfect Than Ever

A standout quality of Deku is how he’s continually improved and personalized his quirk, growing with each challenge. He’s learned to minimize the physical strain it causes, and now his successor is showing similar growth. That successor is Koichi Haimawari, the main character from the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes prequel series. From the start, Koichi felt familiar thanks to his intelligence and admiration for All Might. Like Izuku, he dreamed of becoming a hero despite not having a naturally strong quirk. And the newest episode reveals another parallel, making him feel even more like Deku than before.
