The Timeline in WhichMy Hero AcademiaTakes Place

While there islittle to no infoon when the events ofMy Hero Academiahappen, there is a way to find the average timeline with the help of some math work.

Including Deku and All Might, One For All has received nine users. The power has been passed down from one generation to the next, not after death. Since each generation is of 30 years on average, you can easily calculate the number of years that One For All and All For One have been in existence.

Why Didn’t Kohei Horikoshi Feature A Futuristic Scenario in MyHero Academia?

My Hero Academiatakes place almost 300 years ahead in the future, yet, there is no technological developments in the series, when compared to the real world. Of course, there are new technologies that can help quirk users and developments that help in battles. But in day to day life, there aren’t as many advancements.

Humankind would be already enjoying interstellar travel if the appearance of quirks didn’t put technology development in a standstill because of all the conflicts it caused.

Thus, theemergence of quirksnot only made people more dependent on them, they also created a divide between humans. It is only natural for people to fear unwarranted powers, and some bad people are bound to use itto their advantage.

The fund required for this effort must have sucked dry the funds required for the development of the state.
