My Hero Academia: 6 Character Deaths Fans Can’t Get Over

Sir Nighteye (Mirai Sasaki) 

Many devoted fans of My Hero Academia were dismayed upon learning of Sir Nighteye’s demise. This esteemed pro-hero and former sidekick to All Might possessed the unique Quirk, known as foresight, which enabled him to glimpse into the future when he touched someone. In his final moments, Nighteye offered a reassuring smile and urged those around him to do the same, believing that a world lacking in joy and merriment holds little promise for a prosperous tomorrow.

Twice (Jin Bubaigawara) 

Among the primary villains in the show, he was likely one of the few whose demise left fans feeling a profound emotional response. Despite his wicked deeds, his deep-rooted affection and concern for his companions made him more complex than just a typical antagonist. His special ability involved producing clones, leading him to the brink of madness and a crisis of identity. One particularly touching scene occurred when he put aside his past wounds to protect Himiko Toga.

Jin devoted his life to shielding the league, and the Hawks, who ended his life, came to recognize the essential goodness within him. In the show, it comes to light that Jin created the clones as a means to deal with his solitude. It was once he began misusing his power for criminal activities that he lost all feeling.

Star and Stripe (Cathleen Bate)

As an obsessed fan of My Hero Academia, I was absolutely stunned and heartbroken when I heard the shocking news that the No. 1 Pro Hero of the United States of America, Cathleen Bate, had passed away. Her spirit embodied the very essence of American heroism, with her unique Quirk, New Order, allowing her to establish rules for her surroundings.

Midnight (Nemuri Kayama)

At U.A. High School, one cherished character, Nemuri Kayama, or the adult star named Midnight, was a fan-favorite from the series. She dedicated her time to educating the young minds. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Midnight bravely faced Gigantomachia to shield her pupils. Tragically, she met her end at the hands of the wicked, leaving an immense impact on the community, particularly Class 1-A students. The students were deeply connected to Midnight, who constantly encouraged them to exceed their abilities. Amidst the anime community, many fans shared in the sorrow for the demise of this inspiring and beloved character.

Tomura Shigaraki (Tenko Shimura)

One version of paraphrasing could be: The head of the Villain League, a major adversary in the series, had a tragically unfortunate past. In the storyline, it’s disclosed that Tomura inadvertently slaughtered his loved ones due to an unchecked Quirk, Decay, causing him great harm. He is subsequently saved by All For One, who then exploits him, leading us into the events of the Paranormal Liberation War storyline.

The wicked character in the story ultimately finds redemption, as Izuku successfully rescues his salvageable side before his demise. His final moments were tranquil, during which he motivated Izuku and their companions to keep striving. Each of these deaths left a significant mark on the narrative. As My Hero Academia progresses, these poignant scenes will forever be engraved in fans’ minds. Keep an eye out for upcoming developments!
