Kirishima and His Unbreakable Spirit
Kirishima Becomes More Admirable When His Past Is Recognized
Kirishima is known for his tenacity, dedication to self-improvement, and his loyalty to his friends. His hardening quirk may not be the most impressive, however, it does mirror his inner strength and matches his personality.

Even so, this revelation only further proves Kirishima’s courage as he can openly express his weaknesses and work to overcome them.
Kirishima is driven by his desire to protect and defend, even if it means recklessly rushing into dangerous situations. His mindset is grounded in ideas of chivalry and heroic ideals, inspired by his favorite hero, Crimson Riot, who gives him the strength to rebuild himself into the hero fans know and love. Kirishima is one of My Hero Academia’s most relatable and admirable characters due to his unbreakable spirit and steadfast resolve to continuously be the best that he can be.

In My Hero Academia, some humans have superpowers called quirks. Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is not one of them. Deku has always idolized heroes like the number one hero, All Might, and since he was a child, he has always wanted to be a hero. However, his lack of a quirk has always held him back, but a chance encounter with All Might after discovering a classmate in danger sets Deku on the path to becoming a true hero. My Hero Academia centers around Deku and a class of heroes-in-training at UA. This school shapes young quirk users into future heroes through fake rescue missions, combat training, and other hero-tempering tasks. With young Deku inheriting the "One-For-All" quirk, he will learn what it means to be a true hero while facing off with dastardly supervillains.
