Two of the most popular and well-known fandoms have collided when the director of My Hero Academia, Kenji Nagasaki, recently expressed his thoughts on how All Might, the iconic hero of the Japanese animated series, would fare in a battle against one of the strongest MCU superheroes, The Hulk. In the recent interview, the director confidently stated that All Might would likely come out on top in such a confrontation.
What is My Hero Academia based On
My Hero Academia, a popular anime and manga series, centers around a world where nearly everyone has superpowers, known as Quirks. All Might is a central character of the series. He is very well-known for his immense strength and heroic spirit. Due to his strength, he is often compared to American comic book superheroes.
With Whom Does the My Hero Academia Director Compare All Might With
One question asked in the interview sparked discussions among both fandoms. When asked which Marvel character in particular he would like All Might to fight with, he replied, “The Hulk. I would think that All Might probably wins.”
Nagasaki’s comments reflect the high regard he has for All Might’s character and powers. He noted that while Marvel superheroes are powerful and formidable, All Might’s combination of power, experience, and sheer determination would give him an edge in an one-on-one battle. The assertion has sparked quite a few discussions and debates among the fans.
Fans Reactions to the Comment
Many fans have stated that the only time All Might would be able to defeat MCU Hulk would be in 2009, with The Incredible Hulk. Hulk has impressive healing qualities and because he will get stronger the more All Might hits him, Hulk is undefeatable. Although most fans believe that Hulk can’t be defeated, few of them have mentioned how comparing characters from different fictional universes can be challenging.
The hypothetical battle between All Might and a Marvel hero, while unlikely to ever occur officially, serves as an interesting point of comparison between Western and Japanese superhero archetypes. All Might embodies the values of hope, perseverance, and justice, much like many Marvel heroes, yet his unique abilities and story set him apart.
Nagasaki’s confidence in All Might’s victory underscores the strength and appeal of My Hero Academia’s characters. As the series continues to gain popularity worldwide, these kinds of cross-universe comparisons highlight the universal themes of heroism and the enduring fascination with superhero stories.
