The Rabbit Hero Mirko is a popular professional crime fighter in My Hero Academia, and while she hasn’t had many moments to shine in the anime adaptation so far, this will change in the upcoming sixth season. As the Final Arc continues in the shonen’s manga, Mirko has suffered greatly thanks to her battle against the Paranormal Liberation Front and their Nomus, and an official assistant to creator Kohei Horikoshi has shown just how much battle damage the top hero has sustained.

When Mirko first appeared in My Hero Academia, she was made one of the “Top Ten” of Hero Society, following the retirement of All Might from the crime-fighting scene. While she doesn’t have the ability to beckon flame or manipulate feathers ala Endeavor and Hawks, Mirko’s Quirk gives her the strength, speed, and agility of a hare, while her tenacity makes her one of the fiercest fighters in the Shonen heroes’ roster. During the War Arc, Mirko lays everything on the line and suffers some serious injuries as a result, which plays a factor during the current Final Arc taking place in the manga as All For One and his minions are looking to take down Hero Society once and for all.

The assistant to creator Kohei Horikoshi, Shota Noguchi, took the opportunity to show off the scars that Mirko suffered as a result of the War Arc and her fight against Dr. Garaki’s nightmarish Nomu, some of the most terrifying creations that are a part of the Paranormal Liberation Front:

In the Final Arc of the manga, Mirko has found herself teaming up with Bakugo to fight against Shigaraki, who currently has the wild power of All For One at his disposal. With Bakugo recently running into quite the troubling scenario, Mirko has found herself unleashed and the latest chapter of the Shonen sees her giving her all once again against All For One’s heir, despite missing quite a few appendages. 

Do you think Mirko will survive the Final Arc of My Hero Academia? Are you hyped for her high-flying action in the War Arc this fall? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of UA Academy.
