The winner takes it all.

When you first become the No. 1 hero and tell Izuku at the after party, “I don’t feel like a winner at all,” he doesn’t understand. Then him and Uraraka break up(on good terms). He isn’t as sad as he thought he’d be. Now he’s standing in your spot, as the No. 1 hero, receiving the award. and you’re not there. You’re on a mission abroad. He finally understands what you mean.
