"Do not fear! Why? Because I am here!" All Might, in his prime, is undoubtedly the most powerful hero on the show My Hero Academia. The shonen anime follows Izuku Midoriya, a quirkless boy who just wants to save people with a smile, like his idol, All Might. Unfortunately for Izuku, he has no superpowers. All Might sees the potential in Izuku and takes him under his wing, giving him the power - One For All. In the world filled with quirks and heroes, All Might is the number one. He fights crime, always with a huge smile on his face to bring people a sense of joy and peace. To celebrate Season 4 we are going to take a look at some of the most heroic All Might cosplays.
Cosplayers skillfully bring our favorite comic book, anime, and fictional characters to life. Cosplaying is an art form that takes a tremendous amount of work to master. These fans take cosplay to the next level and could very well be live-action versions of our favorite Symbol of Peace. Let's admire the work of these Plus Ultra cosplayers.
