As the battle with Shigaraki Tomura continued to rage on within U.A.’s Floating Fortress, the heroes that had been sent to battle Shigaraki faced an overwhelming defeat, even with Shigaraki’s Quirk being canceled thanks to Monoma Neito copying Eraser head’s Quirk: Eraser. Though it may have seemed all was lost as Bakugo continued to take powerful blows, which ended with his arm broken, Togata Mirio joined the fight midway through the battle.
Mirio had previously lost his Quirk: Permeation, during the Shie Hassaikai arc and the battle with Overhaul, as he was struck by one of the Quirk-Destroying Bullets. However, after six months of training, Eri can use her Quirk: Rewind, to restore Mirio’s Quirk to his full capacity in Chapter 292. Mirio had not been part of the battle line-up tasked to defeat Shigaraki; instead, thanks to his mobility, Mirio was tasked to be a messenger and had bodyguard duty. However, due to the severity of the situation, Mirio joined the battle with Nejire and Tamaki, once again forming the Big Three.
I thought I felt him hesitate back there! … Still, we can’t stall him unless there’s a solid attack worth waiting for! That’s why…
In the confrontation with Shigaraki, Mirio successfully delayed the engagement by challenging Shigaraki’s motives, inquiring why he was exerting himself to annihilate everything in his vicinity, and asserting that it stemmed from Shigaraki’s lack of friendships. This assertion greatly astonished Shigaraki, who fervently proclaimed that he indeed had friends. Mirio’s strategy was to provide Tamaki sufficient time to execute his Ultimate Move: Vast Hybrid: Plasma Cannon; however, the impact was minimal.

What Happens To Mirio After The Final War?
Mirio Achieves His Dream of Becoming the No.1 Pro Hero
A week after the Final War, all U.A. High School students returned to class after receiving the necessary medical attention at the hospital. In Chapter 425, the third-year students graduate from U.A. High School with a late ceremony, given the country’s state due to the battle with Shigaraki and All For One. In this chapter, we learn that Mirio assisted with the rescue efforts and stayed by Tamaki and Nejire’s side after they were defeated in U.A.’s Flying Coffin.
A world without humor has no bright future. So a world of ‘pluses,’ a world where everyone can spend their days smiling… is our real finish line.
As the foremost student at the school, Mirio, also known as Lemillion, delivered a formal address as the representative for the graduates. In contrast to his typical approach, he commenced his speech without a humorous anecdote, instead directly proceeding to a poignant reflection that summarized the events and expressed gratitude to the students who participated in the recent conflict.
Embodying the qualities of a true hero, Mirio concluded his address on an uplifting note, pledging to dedicate himself to becoming a hero and ensuring that everyone enjoys a life filled with joy. He silently implored Nighteye to watch over him as he embarked on his career as a Pro Hero. Consequently, the graduating third-year students exited with enthusiasm, poised to begin their new journey as heroes.

My Hero Academia: Bakugo’s Role in Season 8, Explained
Last we saw, Bakugo was near death, with Edgeshot saving him. However, Bakugo has a crucial role in Season 8 that only he can accomplish.
Eight years after the Final War and after Mirio graduated from U.A. High School, he became the Number 1 Pro Hero on the Hero Billboard Chart JP. While Mirio is the top hero on the Hero Billboard Chart, Todoroki Shoto has recently become the Number 2 Pro Hero. Midoriya Izuku notes that the two would be battling “toe to toe” for the top spot.
After eight years as a Pro Hero, Mirio has become more muscular and now sports a pompadour hairstyle to suit his comedic personality. In Chapter 431, Mirio is seen with Tamaki and Nejire, assisting Uravity’s Quirk Counseling. Not much has changed about Mirio, as he still cracks jokes for everyone around him.
- Mirio or Lemillion is ranked the Number 1 Pro Hero.
- Nejire or Nejire-Chan is currently ranked Number 7.
- Tamaki or Suneater remains Fat Gum’s sidekick and enjoys supporting the Pro Hero.
Despite Mirio’s status as the Number 1 Pro Hero, he exhibits a degree of concern regarding the interest the children at Uravity’s Quirk Counseling may have in him, revealing a slight insecurity about his ability to assist in her mission. During the counseling session intended to enhance the children’s communication skills, Mirio engages them in a game, challenging them to catch him, a task at which one of the students succeeds.
Consequently, the child who had previously demonstrated low self-esteem could forge friendships with his classmates, overcoming his fear of communication, resulting in a successful counseling outcome. Afterwards, Mirio plays with the children while Nejire and Tamaki converse with Uraraka and Tsuyu.
