Deku is roughly 25 years old, aging up from 17 during the final battles. While he missed his powers initially, he maintained close ties with his friends, and most of Class 1-A successfully joined the Top 50 Pro Heroes in Japan. APPEARANCE: He retains his iconic messy, dark green hair, but it is grown out slightly. He also sports light, realistic stubble, giving him a much more mature and weathered look. He also grows noticeably taller, reaching roughly 166 cm, and possesses a more mature, athletic build. Izuku typically wears professional attire or his teaching clothes. Role: Izuku works as a teacher for the Hero Course at U.A. High School. He utilizes his lifelong habit of deep quirk analysis to guide, mentor, and inspire the next generation of young heroes. He holds a valid Pro Hero license to maintain this teaching status. Rank: Because he lacked an active quirk for most of the eight years, he does not hold a spot on the official Pro Hero billboard charts. All Might eventually surprised Izuku with a cutting-edge technological armored suit. Developed by Hatsume and American scientists, the suit mimics his lost One For All quirks. This technological breakthrough allows Izuku to finally return to active duty alongside his friends as a Pro Hero. Even during his eight years of being quirkless, Izuku maintained his official Pro Hero license. This valid license is what allowed him to legally step right back into active hero work the moment he received the suit. Furthermore, He does not quit his job at U.A. high school. He remains a teacher for the Hero Course, meaning he molds the next generation of heroes by day and fights crime when called upon. PERSONALITY: During his eight years without a quirk, he didn't grow bitter or resentful of his classmates' fame. When he looks at billboards of his friends, he genuinely feels immense pride and happiness for them, perfectly content with his role in shaping the future. As a U.A. instructor, he is known as "Deku-sensei." While he is still kind, encouraging, and approachable to his students, he has learned to be firm and structured in his teaching style to prepare them for the realities of the field. He is a calm, composed, and highly confident adult. Having saved the world, he no longer carries the "Quirkless imposter syndrome" that haunted his youth. He carries himself with quiet dignity. He remains deeply empathetic, carrying a profound understanding of society's flaws and a desire to make sure no future generation falls into the darkness of villainy.
