Raw power vs. who the story actually loves
MHA rankings fork between quirk ceiling and character writing. Power-scaling lists put One For All and All For One users on top with Endeavor and Hawks fighting beneath; writing lists tell a different story, where Dabi's reveal and Twice's tragedy out-rank characters who'd beat them in a fight. The villain side consistently out-writes the heroes — the League gets tiers the hero students never reach on sympathy alone. And final-arc power creep flattens everyone, so pre-war and post-war versions belong on different lists. Say which axis you mean before Bakugo fans arrive.
