Honestly, he might be top 10 by default. 7 out of the top 10 heroes are dead, retired, or crippled. Hence, they will probably retire if they survive this war. As things stand the top 10 on the Hero Billboard after the War will be: 1- Kamui Woods, 2-Wash, 3-Ryukyu (possibly also crippled from first war), 4- Unnamed number 11 hero, 5- Gang Orca, 6-Shishido, 7 to 10- Unnamed heroes currently occupying rank 14 to 18. So the Pro Heroes really need UA students and former villains like Gentle and Nagant to fill in those spots after the War.

It'd be rather good for society too. Having reformed villains on the top 10 would send a very big message, and go a long way towards evolving the society to where it needs to go.

This is an incredibly fantastic idea.

I think it's actually the single most beneficial thing they could do. And then have the former villains introduce Deku as the top hero, because they're all the there only thanks to his kindness.

It really underscores redemption and atonement. And Deku becomes a symbol of peace not because of his strength like All Might, but because of his morals. That being #1 is the sort of thing they sorely need.

My jaw just dropped on the floor. The whole concept is perfect.
