Warning: Spoilers for the Finale of My Hero Academia. The manga series My Hero Academia concluded with protagonist Deku sporting an innovative new power suit, a collaborative effort funded and crafted by his former classmates to help him return to the world of pro heroes. While the manga itself leaves much about the suit’s abilities under wraps, a recently published databook promises to provide fans with a more comprehensive look at Deku’s enhanced capabilities.
In the concluding chapters, Deku finds fulfillment in his role as a teacher at UA, yet he grapples with nostalgia for his adventures as a pro hero. Due to the absence of the One for All Quirk, Deku’s return to heroism seemed impossible. However, the arrival of his new suit, developed with the guidance of All Might and made possible through contributions from his classmates—especially Bakugo—signals a significant change. The suit has been likened to the Armored All Might ensemble from the final confrontation, though its specific functionalities were initially shrouded in mystery, even within the bonus epilogue chapter.
Insights from My Hero Academia’s Final Databook on Deku’s Power Suit
A Prominent Display of the New Suit on the Front Cover
The official My Hero Academia X (formerly Twitter) account unveiled the cover of the upcoming databook, titled Ultra Age. This edition prominently features Deku in his new power suit, surrounded by illustrations of many of his classmates. Set for release on May 2, 2025, the databook is expected to include detailed breakdowns of character abilities, similar to previous releases, providing a closer look at Deku’s capabilities with his new gear. This release is highly anticipated by fans eager to understand what his power suit entails.
The intricate design on the cover suggests several features of the suit. It appears to utilize technology that mimics various Quirks from One for All, including a Blackwhip launcher and the ability to perform Deku’s signature Air Force technique by utilizing his fingers to unleash blasts of air. The suit also seems equipped with knives and possibly small-scale cannons. While the full extent of its abilities will only be revealed upon the book’s publication, it’s already clear that facing Deku in this suit could be a daunting challenge for any adversary.
