My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 continues to shine a strong light on the franchise’s most important hero.
anime, the franchise isn’t completely over, as the Winter 2026 season is seeing the weekly release of its replacement, which continues to improve upon the original’s elements. There is no denying that the series’s most important hero has always been the Symbol of Peace, All Might, who brought an end to All For One’s decades-long tyranny in Japan, something the previous successors of One For All couldn’t achieve.
The original anime begins with the end of All Might’s era as he passes down his Quirk to Izuku Midoriya.However, the series has clearly established that All Might is one of the most significant heroes to have ever existed, yet it didn’t fully showcase how he achieved that status.

Meanwhile, later in the same episode, even Knuckleduster mentions that humanity is lucky All Might is selfless, as he holds the power to either completely destroy or protect the world. This is a notion the original series never emphasized, as it featured All Might at the end of his hero days, passing on the torch. In contrast,, which depicts events after his first major injuries that led to his downfall, makes it clear that All Might became the Symbol of Peace because he was essentially a god even among heroes.
