My Hero Academia continues to be one of the most popular series in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and as an anime, the show has done exceedingly well too. With each passing arc, the story seems to be getting more gripping
As confirmed by the author, My Hero Academia is in its final arc now and, as such, the battles are getting more grand and the stakes are higher than ever before. This also means a lot of character deaths could potentially occur before the conflict between the Heroes and the Villains wraps up for good. With villains such as All For One and Shigaraki lurking and the Hero Society on the verge of crumbling, it is no surprise that quite a lot of characters in the story will be pushed to the edge, with only a few of them being able to make it out alive.
7 Mirko
Mirko is an extremely powerful Hero who currently holds the Number 5 rank in Japan. She possesses the power of the Rabbit Quirk and her capabilities have been seen in two wars already. Mirko has suffered tremendously in both the wars, losing her limbs in them.
Before the series ends, it is possible that she will die as she is a fighter who always throws her life on the line whenever she heads out into battle. If Mirko does die, fans can rest assured that her death would be quite iconic.
6 Best Jeanist
Best Jeanist is the current Number Three Hero in Japan and, just like Mirko, has had a few close calls with death already. In the past, he has suffered serious injuries from All For One which severely crippled them.
In the current arc, he is on his last legs in the fight against Shigaraki Tomura. Jeanist has a special relationship with Bakugo and it is possible that he could end up giving his life to save the young Hero aspirant if a situation like that ever arises.
5 Dabi
Dabi, formerly known as Touya Todoroki, is Endeavor's son. Currently, he serves as a Lieutenant of the Paranormal Liberation Front and is one of the biggest villains in the story of My Hero Academia.
Dabi has been completely consumed by hatred for his father and to quite an extent, his brother as well. While the Todoroki family is certainly doing everything to save him, in the end, Dabi dying an unfulfilled death by being fully consumed by his hatred is quite possible.
4 Endeavor
Endeavor is the current Number One Hero and carries a massive burden on his shoulders, just like All Might once did. While he's quite strong, he isn't the strongest, yet he's expected to throw his life on the line against the greatest of threats every single time.
Endeavor has already suffered a few close encounters with death in the past and before the series ends, he could very well end up dying. This could also be tied to his redemption arc which, although it sees Endeavor try his best to make amends, could close with him sacrificing his life for his family and the Hero Society.
3 Hawks
Hawks is certainly one of the most intriguing characters in My Hero Academia. From the very beginning of his story arc, he was revealed to be living quite a dangerous life by spying on the villains. Hawks has, since then, been in quite a few dangerous situations, such as when he nearly died at Dabi's hands during the Paranormal Liberation War arc.
Hawks' role is also more of a supporting character. This was evident when he aided Endeavor in his fight against Hood and, currently, is stalling All For One for the Number One Hero. Having had quite a few near-death encounters already, Hawks could very well die in the Final Saga.
2 All For One
All For One is a character who will certainly die before the end of the series. He is the ultimate evil in My Hero Academia that cannot be left alive. After being defeated by All Might, he has managed to return and continue his villainous actions.
In fact, recently, he even managed to return to his prime state which makes him a massive threat to the Hero Society. All For One has to be dealt with permanently in one way or another, as the fact that he is a threat even when in prison was proven in the past. As such, he needs to die in order for the Hero society to be at peace.
1 All Might
All Might is a character whose death certainly splits opinion. It goes without saying that his death would be quite sad, however, it has already been foreshadowed in the past. Sir Nighteye has foreseen his death and concluded that he would die a gruesome death.
At the same time, his Hero instinct could well see him sacrifice his life for the greater good. All Might has had death flags over him from the very beginning and that certainly isn't going to stop now that the series is entering its most intense arc with the greatest battles of all.
