Bokuno Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) Also known as BNHA is an anime that started airing in japan on April 3rd of 2016 and it instantly blew up with people cosplaying and its plot is also very interesting.

In a world where currently most of the human population possess superpowers, labeled as ‘Quirks’ following the transitional period, Izuku Midoriya dreamt of becoming a Hero despite being bullied by his violent childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo for lacking a Quirk. Both youths idolize one of the world’s greatest heroes All Might, who they both met with Izuku being one of few to know of an critical injury All Might has been concealing from the public eye to maintain morale. All Might also reveals the nature of his Quirk ‘One for All’ and passes it down to Izuku to succeed him after seeing the youth’s determination in the face of danger. As Izuku begins his path to becoming a hero in attending U.A. High School alongside Bakugo and the friends they make in Class 1-A, a nemesis to the ‘One For All’ users named All For One conditions his apprentice Tomura Shigaraki to destroy the current society and its heroes..

The first season of the My Hero Academia anime series was produced by Bones and MBS and directed by Kenji Nagasaki. It adapts Kōhei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia manga from the beginning of the first to shortly after the third volume over 13 episodes, following the first adventures of Izuku Midoriya.

The season initially ran from April 3 to June 26, 2016,] on MBS in Japan, and was released on DVD and Blu-ray in five compilations, each containing two to three episodes, by Toho between June 29 and October 12, 2016. Funimation licensed the series for an English dubbed release in North America and released the episodes in a single DVD and Blu-Ray compilation on April 18, 2017. Eventually, their adaptation ran from May 5 to August 4, 2018, on Adult Swim as part of their Toonami block.

The second season of the My Hero Academia anime series was produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki. Like the first season, it adapts Kōhei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia manga from the rest of the third volume through the end of the eighth volume over 25 episodes, and follows the adventures of Izuku Midoriya.

The season originally ran from April 1 to September 30, 2017, on ytv in Japan, and Toho released the season on DVD and Blu-Ray in eight compilations, each containing two to four episodes, between July 19, 2017, and February 14, 2018. Funimation licensed the season for an English-language release in North America and released it in two compilations on April 3 and June 5, 2018. Season 2 was also supported on a sports festival for all the freshman or year 9 grade every one in class 1-A goes against the other class class 1-B and they fight and show off their quirk.

During the sports festival we learn Shoto Todoroki’s Past and found out why todoroki does not use his left side and where he got his scar on the left side of his face is from his mom because Endeavor (dad) was a “harmful being” as she said We also found out that Shoto had three siblings and one dissapeared out of nowhere and there are theories that Dabi (a villain) is Touya Todoroki (missing brother).

Izuku Midoriya helped Shoto Todoroki Realize It is his quirk not his fathers.

This is the season Deku (midoriya) breaks all his bones because of his quirk and we meet the villains again. After the sports festival class 1-a goes to a training camp but then there was an attack planned by villains we meet the Wild Wild Pussycats and a little boy named kota izumi whose parents were heros and sadly passed when he was a little boy. Later on the villains storm the and kota runs off and finds the villain who killed his parents and deku finds kota trying to run away from the villain muscular. Deku starts to fight muscular and has to use one for all 100% and breaks all his bones episode 2 On the day of the forest lodge trip, Class 1-A and 1-B prepare to board buses.

An hour later, Class 1-A’s bus stops for a restroom break. Suddenly, two women wearing cat-like costumes and a small boy appear. The women introduce themselves as the professional Hero Team, The Pussycats, while the boy is revealed to be Kota, an orphan in their care who despises heroes. Mandalay tells class 1-A that they must reach the training camp at the base of the mountain by midday or they will miss lunch. Despite their best efforts, class 1-A’s progress is inhibited by earthen beasts throughout the forest, controlled by Pixie-Bob with her Quirk, and the students miss their deadline by hours. Episode 3: Class 1-A and 1-B continues training as the villains prepare to attack. Despite Kota’s hatred for heroes, and the superhuman society in general, Midoriya tries to convince Kota by telling his own tales as his friend’s story. The villains attack when the students are participating in a training exercise and catch them unaware.

Episode 4 and 5: The villains continue their attack, working in teams or alone to target different groups of students and teachers. Muscular, one of the villains chances upon Kota at his secret hideout and tries to kill him, but is stopped by Midoriya. Midoriya is pushed to his limit in the fight but manages to defeat Muscular with a 1,000,000% Delaware Detroit Smash and saves Kota. Kota finally overcomes his prejudices due to Midoriya‘s selflessness and calls him ‘My Hero’.

After defeating Muscular, Midoriya carries Kota back to the camp and runs into Aizawa. Midoriya passes Kota over to him, as he has a message to deliver to everyone through Mandalay’s telepathy. The teacher asks Midoriya to deliver a message from him as well. Mandalay delivers both messages: That Bakugo is one of the villains’ targets and the students have permission to use their Quirks to defend themselves. Meanwhile, Tetsutetsu and Kendo find the source of a poisonous gas that is filling part of the forest: a villain named Mustard. The two work together to defeat Mustard and this results in the gas dissipating. Midoriya runs into Shoji while searching for Bakugou and learns that Tokoyami Quirk, Dark Shadow, is out of control.

My hero academia season 4 is the most amazing season i’ve seen yet season 4 has heros has deku achieving his dream, villains working together, heros saving a little girl named Eri. Eri is a small girl with bluish, off-white hair, messy and unkempt, which is parted in the middle of her forehead, almost reaching down to her waist. She has very wide, innocent-looking eyes, which are bright red in color. Poking out from the right side of her forehead is a small, brown horn, which grows larger when her Quirk is activated. In her first appearance, she’s wearing a plain, short-sleeved dress, which is a dirty, pale tan color. Bandages are wrapped around both her arms and legs, stopping at her wrists and ankles, underneath which she is shown to have numerous scars.

After she’s taken in by U.A., Eri’s outfit is changed to a white dress shirt with a frilled collar and a plain red pinafore with two large, golden buttons on either side of her chest. Under this, she wears gray tights and a large set of tan boots, and a small dark red messenger bag with the trap sitting over her right shoulder, a little floral pattern decorating one of its sides. Her hair also looks to be better cared for, appearing straighter and neater than it was during her time with the Shie Hassaikai. Because her mother disowned her after she accidentally made her father disappear with her Quirk and the experiments she was subjected to by Kai Chisaki, Eri became a fearful and secluded girl, without anyone showing affection to her in her life.

Apparently, Izuku Midoriya’s touch was the first time she ever felt kindness, which overwhelmed her. When murderous intentions are directed at her, she does not scream, nor cry and simply remains silent, because she knows she has no choice but to accept whatever is to happen to her. Eri is, however, willing to let herself go with Kai in order to protect those that help her. She feels guilt over other people being hurt in order to rescue her. Unfortunately, after her rescue, Eri still psychologically suffers from Kai’s influence, as she is unable to smile and has no experience of happiness. However, this changes thanks to the events of the U.A. School Festival, and Eri finally smiles and laughs for the first time.

Eri’s Quirk allows her to reverse a living individual’s body back to a previous state, allowing her to heal injuries and undo bodily modifications. She has even shown the ability to rewind someone’s body to a point before they existed. As a result of her Quirk mutating her body, Eri’s blood is able to attack an individual’s Quirk and stop its activation. The source of her Quirk’s power is located in the horn on her head, and the size of the horn dictates the strength of her power. It is also an accumulation-type Quirk, which means the power it emits has to build up over a period of time before becoming usable. And in the The fourth season will more than likely cover the next three volumes of the manga, comprised of the Overhaul, Fighting Fate, and Red Riot arcs.

These see an alliance between the Eight Precepts, a conglomeration of Yakuza members, and the League of Villains, as they strike against the heroes with a superpowered young captive. The passing students will also shadow Pro Heroes, with Izuku working with another of All Might’s former allies, Sir Nighteye. The action-packed trailer gives viewers a first glimpse at some of what’s to come, but given the show’s propensity for introducing anime exclusive stories, fans will have to wait a few weeks to fully experience what’s in store for the heroes. Season 4 of my hero academia is still going on and they have 2 movies and 2 games. First I will start with the movies.

Movie 1: Two Heroes

All Might is invited to a summer trip at ‘I-Island’, a man-made island where the scientists of the world reside and perform research on Quirks, superpowers that 80% of the world’s population has. He takes Izuku Midoriya as his guest and reminds him not to reveal to his good friend, former partner, and top scientist Professor David Shield the secret about their shared Quirk: One for All. After they arrive, they are greeted by Melissa Shield, David’s daughter and a student of the island’s academy hoping to be a scientist just like her father. After a reunion with David, All Might transforms back into his depowered form. By running tests, David realizes that All Might’s Quirk is nearly depleted.

Meanwhile, Melissa shows Midoriya around the island, and they run into Momo Yaoyorozu, who had been invited to the island and has brought Ochako Uraraka and Kyoka Jirō as her guests. The students later run into Tenya Iida, Shōto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugō, and Eijiro Kirishima, with the former three having been invited too and Kirishima being brought by Bakugō. Minoru Mineta and Denki Kaminari are also revealed to be on the island working as waiters. After spending the day enjoying the island’s various events, Melissa invites the waiters to join them at a formal party that everyone else was invited to. Before the party, Melissa reveals to Midoriya that she is born Quirkless like he once was.

She also realizes his Quirk is similar to All Might’s, and gives him a gauntlet she had designed that allows him to not get hurt when using his powers at 100%. Meanwhile, Wolfram, a mysterious villain who secretly arrived on the island prior, takes control of the island’s security system during the party and threatens to kill its residents. He also restrains all of the pro-heroes attending, including All Might, and takes David and his assistant Sam hostage in order to break into the island’s vault. As they were running late, Midoriya, Melissa, Iida, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, Jirō, Mineta, and Kaminari are not restrained alongside the pro-heroes at the party.

To take back control of the security system, they decide to access it by reaching the 200th floor of the building the party is hosted at. At the same time, Bakugō and Kirishima become lost on their way to the party and begin wandering the building without realizing the security breach. After the students reach the 80th floor, Wolfram and his team become aware of their plan and attempt to apprehend them. While hiding in a plant room, the group attempts to escape from two of the villains until Bakugō and Kirishima accidentally cross paths with them and engage in battle. Todoroki helps the others escape to a higher floor and joins Bakugō and Kirishima in their fight. Mineta uses his Quirk to climb up the tower and lower a ladder to allow the others to climb up with him. Wolfram’s men send an army of sentry robots after both groups of students, which incapacitate Kaminari.

Iida, Yaoyorozu, Jirō, and Mineta defend against the robots while Midoriya, Uraraka, and Melissa make their way to the top of the tower. Attempting to reach the very top, Uraraka uses her Quirk to float Midoriya and Melissa closer to the security room. Just as Uraraka is about to be attacked by more robots, Bakugō, Todoroki, and Kirishima arrive to save her. The four of them fight the robots as Midoriya and Melissa fight their way to the very top. At the top of the tower, they discover David and Sam in the vault as they unlock a suitcase. It is revealed that David and Sam orchestrated the night’s events with actors in order to steal back their greatest invention – a headset that maximizes the power of a person’s Quirk.

I-Island’s top men decided that it was too dangerous, took their invention and research away, and locked it up so it wouldn’t end up in the wrong hands. Deciding that All Might needed it to remain a hero and keep the world safe, David decided to get his invention back. Wolfram arrives, restrains Midoriya, and reveals that he is a true villain and not an actor. Sam then betrays David and gives Wolfram the suitcase, revealing that he worked with Wolfram to make sure he could sell the invention to other villains and achieve fame. However, Wolfram shoots Sam after getting the suitcase, and David jumps in the way of another bullet in order to save his life. Before Wolfram can kill Melissa, Midoriya breaks free in order to fight him.

Wolfram uses his Quirk to hold off Midoriya and escapes to the rooftop, having kidnapped David so he can make more copies of said invention. Midoriya races to the top and attempts to stop Wolfram from taking off in a helicopter with David, but fails and falls from the helicopter. Melissa also takes back control of the security system, freeing the pro heroes and disabling the robots. All Might, now freed, races to the roof and stops the helicopter from taking off. Wolfram, in a last attempt, uses the invention to amplify his power and starts to overcome an already tired All Might, creating a giant body made up of metal parts and debris that traps David inside it. He overpowers All Might further with multiple Quirks and reveals that he is in league with All For One, who gave Wolfram additional Quirks and helped fuel David’s fall from grace in an attempt to demoralize All Might.

The rest of the students soon arrive on the roof to help All Might and Midoriya who work together to finish the fight. The two throw a smash together that is ultimately strong enough to defeat Wolfram and free David. As the sun rises, David and All Might reflect on how Melissa and Midoriya are the next generation of heroes and how the world will be in good hands even after All Might’s Quirk is gone. During the credits, scenes are shown of the students and All Might enjoying a barbecue on the island after their victory with the rest of the students from their class Class 1-A, who were also on I-Island when the events of the film happened. Melissa also visits David, who is now in the hospital recovering while the police watch over him.

Movie 2: Heroes Rising

On a lone highway, the League of Villains is escaping pursuit in an armored truck while transporting a man in a life support. The truck is eventually destroyed by the No. 1 hero Endeavor, but the League members escape while the man, Nine, regroups with his team of super-powered followers. Meanwhile, U.A. High’s Class 1-A has been sent to the remote Nabu Island as part of a safety exercise, which amounts to minor deeds for the islanders as the island is virtually crime-free. One resident, Mahoro Shimano, requests help when her little brother, Katsuma, is missing; provisional heroes Izuku ‘Deku’ Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka, and Kyōka Jirō conduct the search.

However, it turns out Mahoro was with Katsuma the entire time, as the girl berates Deku for taking too long to find Karsuma while using the event as an example to show her brother that heroes aren’t as useful as they’re claimed to be. Back on the mainland, Mahoro and Katsuma’s father is attacked by Nine and his party. It is revealed that Nine has the ability to steal and possess a maximum of 9 quirks, an ability granted to him by the doctor in service to the villain All-For-One. He then tries to use the stolen Quirk to cure an illness in his body brought about by overuse of his artificial Quirk, but realizes it is incompatible with his blood type. Frustrated, Nine learns about the children and, surmising their genetics would have produced a more useful variant, sets his sights on Nabu Island.

Later on, as Deku trains with his powers, his classmate, childhood friend/rival, Katsuki ‘Kacchan’ Bakugou, confronts him about Deku’s quirk, One-For-All, an ability of immense strength passed onto him by the legendary hero All Might; they both agree to continue chasing their shared dream of being the greatest hero in the world. The conversation is interrupted by Katsuma, who claims a villain is on the island. Bakugo quickly moves to the island’s remote peninsula, with Deku chasing behind. He discerns that the ‘villain’ is just a harmless illusion brought on by Mahoro’s Quirk, who was trying to show her brother how ineffective heroes could be. Bakugo proudly declares his intent to be the top hero before storming off.

By next morning, Midoriya finds Katsuma outside the class’ hero agency, who apologizes for their actions the night before. The hero realizes that Mahoro is merely trying to discourage her brother from becoming a hero himself due to how dangerous the line of work can be. Katsuma notes how ineffective his Quirk is in combat, but still wants to be a hero that can save people; Deku encourages him with the same words spoken to him by his mentor, All Might.

Nine and his gang crash a ferry onto the island and proceed to destroy all the ships and communication towers as Nine begins his search for the children. Class 1-A learn of the invasion and split up to stop the villains and escort the islanders to safety. Bakugou and his group of classmates are able to incapacitate Mummy, a man whose bandages allows him to ensnare and control anything that gets caught in them.

10 Criticisms of My Hero Academia That Are Completely Valid

My Hero Academia  is one of the most popular series to appear in the last decade, and there's a lot to love about it. The story is engaging, the art and animation is top notch, and the characters are lovable and interesting. 

But as good as  MHA  is, it isn't perfect. There are actually some valid critiques of My Hero Academia  to be made. Everyone has different things that bother them about the show. For some people, it's the excessive fan service that feels totally out of place. For others, it's the fact that the story set up an amazing world that it hasn't even come close to fully exploring. Maybe you feel like the side characters are underutilized, or have problems with how the quirks function.

The series isn't done yet, so it's hard to judge it completely - but viewers don't wait until a series is over to form their opinions. We can love a series and still acknowledge its flaws, so let's do that for  MHA.  Vote up the  My Hero Academia criticisms that you think are totally valid, and vote down the ones you think are unfair. 

Minoru Mineta Is A Hot Button Issue

Minoru Mineta is probably one of the most controversial things about the series. He's a pervert who does things like grope his female classmates, try to spy on them while they're changing, and make inappropriate comments about them. For some viewers, this is funny and relatable . For others, it's gross, offensive, or even deeply upsetting. 

Regardless of how you personally feel about Mineta, his existence creates two problems. The first is outside the series: Mineta's behavior potentially sends a negative message to the show's intended audience, teenagers with developing brains. Recently, Manabu Sekiguchi created a petition that went viral, which asked Shonen Jump to provide warnings about content that depicts a lack of consent. Arguably,  My Hero Academia  should also be published with those type of warnings. 

The second problem is within the series itself. The fact that Mineta is allowed to continue behaving that way with little consequence makes his teachers look incompetent. Considering how strict Aizawa is supposed to be, it's confusing that he lets him get away with it. 

Some Plot Points Seem To Have Been Dropped...And It's Not Clear If They'll Be Picked Up Again

You guys remember the 'traitor' who was introduced earlier in the series? Well, it doesn't seem like Horikoshi does. Despite multiple arcs concluding since it came up, there hasn't been a peep about it since. 

This one might be kind of unfair, since the series isn't actually over, and it's entirely possible that Horikoshi  will  pick up the thread he dropped. But by this point, so many other events have taken center stage that it seems unlikely that the story will ever loop back around to it. In fact, so much has happened that it hardly even seems relevant, even though it was a major hint when it dropped. It feels like the creator is not in control of the narrative, which makes the 'reading as it comes out' experience a frustrating one.

This isn't the only time it felt like it took way too long to get across key information: as of September 2020 they've been teasing information about Dabi for months, and we still don't really know what happened to Best Jeanist. These are newer plot points that seem more likely to be resolved, but it can be kind of hard to trust the series to actually do that when so many threads have been dropped in the past. 

It Doesn't Fully Explore Its World

The world of  My Hero Academia  is one with boundless potential. Unfortunately, it doesn't spend much time exploring it. The explanation for how quirks came to be is addressed in like, five seconds. There are so many unanswered questions! What happened in between the time when quirks were first discovered and when they proliferated? What conflicts arose? 

The story doesn't have to go into as much detail about how power development impacted the world as say,  From The New World,  does, but it'd be nice if we had a greater sense of history since literally 1,000 years have passed. 

And it's not just the past, either - it's also the present. We know very little about the world outside of Izuku Midoriya's field of vision - and he doesn't seem to be learning much about it. Again, there are so many questions: is there any variation between quirks in different countries? How does that impact international relations? Do different countries have different laws about quirks usage? Does hero society exist everywhere? We need to know! 

We're getting new information all the time, so it's totally possible that the end result will feel full, but right now, it feels like an oversight.

Characters Don't Experience Realistic Consequences

It's irritatingly common for characters in  MHA  to get away with things that should bear major consequences . For example, when Tenya Iida attacks Stain, his hands are injured, but he never actually experiences any physical limitations as a result. During the Class A vs B arc, he removes the engines from his legs so that he can grow newer, faster, more efficient ones - but we don't get to see him getting by without them. For a character whose major character flaw involves a lack of patience, this would have been an excellent chance for character development. Iida isn't the only character that this applies to - Todoroki and Bakugo should probably have struggled a bit more to stay afloat when taking remedial classes at the same time as their regular classes. 

There's also the fact that most characters experience repeated traumatic events and bounce back with little consequence to their mental well-being. It's not like we want to see characters be completely destroyed by their experiences - not every show has to be Neon Genesis Evangion -  but it'd be nice if a little more attention was paid to the young protagonist's mental health. They're literally at war on a daily basis, so maybe UA should have a counselor instead of just a school nurse? 

The Series 'Tells' When It Should 'Show'

Over on Reddit,  u/mmm1928  had a lot to say about their issues with  My Hero Academia.  They brought up an interesting point about the series' failure to "show" important story moments, often opting to "tell" instead. While all good stories use both methods,  MHA  isn't necessarily choosing the right technique at the right time. Here's what they had to say:

"We heard from Endeavor during the Remedial Course Arc that people are becoming more scared, more anxious, that they don’t trust heroes without All Might, but we never have seen this. A perfect showing of this would have been during the Red Riot introduction, where after Kirishima gives his all to defeat the villain, but Fatgum has to intervene due to him not being strong enough yet. Here we could have the civilians show they are not pleased with this outcome because of their fears. Instead of seeing this kids potential, they just see how things are now To continue from my previous point, and going back to my last point in "Balance" we have not seen much real Pro vs Villain action. I wish we got to see Endeavor process his change more. By the time he comes to All Might, the person he hates most, for advice, a lot of that processing has been done. Would have loved to see him try to reach out to his family. Fuyumi mentions he’s starting to come around more, but we only ever see this in Chapter 192."

Side Characters Get Sidelined

My Hero Academia  has hundreds of characters with unique quirks and fascinating personalities. That's not a problem. What is a problem is that far too many of them are introduced, only to serve no purpose whatsoever in the narrative. 

It's not that every single character needs their own individual arc - that would be excessive and impossible to keep track of. But what's the point in having 20 students in Class 1-A if only 3/4s of them ever do anything? What's the point of also having Class 1-B, if only a few of them are ever going to end up being relevant? That's not to mention all other characters who appear in the series!

Minor characters should serve a purpose. Sometimes, that purpose is to reveal something about the wider world, sometimes it's to help develop a more important character, and sometimes it's to further the plot. While some side characters in  MHA  do exactly that, others simply show up, introduce their quirks, and then stagnate. 

The World Hasn't Changed Enough 

It's easy to forget that  My Hero Academia  is supposed to take place 1,000 years in the future. Why? Because the only thing that's changed in any meaningful way is the evolution of quirks. Technology is exactly the same - people use smartphones that look like they're from the year the series came out, personal computers and cars are no different, and everyone dresses like they're in modern-day Japan when they aren't wearing superhero costumes. 

1,000 years is a long time. In the year 1020, we did not know what germ theory was. We did not have the Internet. We did not have cars. The United States wasn't an established country. Thousands of species that no longer exist today were flourishing. The climate was completely different. There's no reason why the world would stagnate for an entire millennium.

The result is that the setting is not just implausible, but also boring. They just go to school and live in a regular city. It's sad, because it could be so much more. 

The Male/Female Ratio Is Way Off

In the world of  My Hero Academia,  male characters are far better represented than female ones. Let's lay out some numbers. In Class 1-A, there are 15 male students, and 5 female. Class 1-B only does slightly better, with 6 out of 20 students being female. 

Few of the characters with plot-crucial arcs are female. While many are powerful, none except Nana Shimura have the kind of transcendent powers that many of the male ones do. And Nana Shimura is a figure of the past, not a major character. 

Some might argue that this is acceptable because it's a shounen anime, which means that it's aimed at boys. First of all, at least 50%  of shounen manga readers are female, so by this point new creators should probably be working with that figure in mind. Second of all, even if 100% of readers were male, boys and men still need to see girls and women in their media who don't play second fiddle to their male counterparts. 

Bakugo's Parents Are Kind Of Awful

Katsuki Bakugo's parents are not good parents. Not at all .

His mother hits him and berates him constantly, even going so far as to  blame him for being kidnapped.  She claims that she's worried he's too full of himself, and she's glad that his teachers are strict enough to keep his ego in check. This shows that she cares about him, but it also shows that she's oblivious to the fact that her verbal assaults are causing him to overcompensate, and her physical aggression is teaching him to be aggressive too. Meanwhile, his dad is just kind of there, meekly trying to calm things down without taking responsibility for raising his child. 

It's not that parents have to be good for the story to be good - Shoto Todoroki's father is explicitly abusive, and the problem is treated with the gravity it deserves. Bakugo's mother's poor treatment of him is written off as a joke. What's more, there's very little exploration about how his parents might have contributed to his less pleasant behavior.

If the series actually took their own content seriously, the Bakugos could behave in  exactly  the same way, and it wouldn't be worthy of criticism. As is, the series turns a very serious subject into a joke. 

Some Quirks Are Annoyingly Unrealistic

While it's totally possible to enjoy  My Hero Academia  without thinking too hard about how each individual quirk functions, it can be hard to unnotice it when you notice that a particular quirk doesn't make sense. 

Everyone has different quirks that stand out to them. You might wonder how Tenya Iida can possibly be born with inorganic body parts, or how Katsuki Bakugo managed to get through his childhood without accidentally blasting off his own hands. You might wonder why Recovery Girl's quirk, which harnasses the target's immune system to accelerate healing, doesn't trigger health problems like allergies and auto-immune diseases that can result from an immune system that's repeatedly pushed into overdrive. You might not understand how animal DNA got into the cat people and dog people and frog people who populate the Earth. You might want to know how Hawks' wings can support his human body when he likely has marrow-filled bones. 

Illogical quirks don't make the series itself bad - it can actually be kind of fun to try and think up explanations that Horikoshi and Studio Bones don't provide. But many of them are, in fact, illogical.

Katsuki is a young man of average height, with a slim, muscular build, and a fair skin tone. He has short, spiky, sandy blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and bright red in color.

At school, he wears the standard U.A. uniform without the customary red tie. Underneath his blazer, he wears a white collared shirt with the top few buttons undone. His pants are worn loosely, causing them to sag at his ankles, despite him wearing a belt with them. After the Paranormal Liberation War , Katsuki's school uniform is worn in a much neater fashion and includes the red tie he previously forgone.

His hero costume is composed of a tight, black, sleeveless tank top, with an orange "X" across the middle, forming a V-neck. There are two dots along the left line of his collar, indicating the support company that designed his costume. [4] His costume also has a metallic neck brace worn with rectangular ends that have three holes on each side. His sleeves reach from within his large grenade-like gauntlets to his biceps. His belt, which also carries grenades, holds up his baggy pants with knee guards, below which he sports black, knee-high combat boots with orange soles and eyelets. His mask is jagged and black, and as it goes around his eyes, a large, orange-rimmed flare shape protrudes from each side.

In the winter months, he wears a large jacket with a high collar, rather than the usual tank top, although it does have the same orange "X" design, so he can still sweat a sufficient amount, which is how his Quirk works.

While interning under Best Jeanist , the Fiber Hero attempted to teach Katsuki the importance of maintaining a positive appearance. To that end, he took the liberty of making some changes to Katsuki's outward appearance to make him look less intimidating. During this tenure, his wild spiky hair was combed into a neat side part. Best Jeanist also made changes to Katsuki's Hero costume; he got rid of Katsuki's mask and grenade gauntlets and had him wear a pair of smart blue denim jeans in place of his usual baggy pants.

During Mission: Humarise , Katsuki and his fellow internees at the Endeavor Agency are given special advanced stealth costumes by the World Heroes Association for their mission to Otheon . Based on the winter variant of his costume, Katsuki designed his stealth costume to be all neoprene black with the exception of orange "X", the soles of his boots, and his gloves while retaining the metal kneepads and his metallic neck brace has two holes on each side instead of three. The Grenadier Bracers were redesigned to be shaped like flashbang grenades rather than frag grenades. He also has two silver plates on his shoulders with the letters "WHA" and two straps coming down from his neck brace with a red button on the left.

Due to the injuries, he sustained during the Paranormal Liberation War, Katsuki has two scars on his body: one on his left shoulder and one on his lower stomach area. Furthermore, during his final battle against Tomura Shigaraki , his right arm was badly crushed by the villain and the right side of his face has been heavily scarred.

Personality

Katsuki showcasing his overconfidence.

Katsuki is a crude, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive person, especially at the beginning of the series. Katsuki tends to come off as unheroic; this problematic behavior going all the way back to his early childhood days when he was known to bully a young, Quirkless , Izuku Midoriya . He showed to be extremely arrogant and condescending to those around him, often bragging of his Explosion Quirk's power, and even boasting that he would take on his entire middle school class. He showed open hostility towards Izuku, mainly because of his former Quirkless status, and would frequently put down his dream of becoming a Hero, despite lacking a Quirk, and also gave him the insulting nickname "Deku" (meaning useless and unable to achieve anything). He even threatened Izuku not to apply to U.A. High School and became angry upon both of them passing the Entrance Exam, wanting to be the only person from his middle school to make it there.

However, after being accepted into U.A. and experiencing several personal defeats, one of them even coming from Izuku, Katsuki has gradually changed into a less antagonistic person, albeit still retaining a lot of his unpleasant traits. While often portrayed negatively, Katsuki's fierce character and competitive drive have actually granted him an important role among Class 1-A, as a sort of inspirational mood-maker. [5]

Katsuki's usual fighting expression.

Determined and thirsty for victory, Katsuki smiles eerily when in the middle of a battle. He is incredibly focused on achieving his own authentic victories and has learned to never underestimate his opponents. Katsuki is not only very athletic and talented at fighting, but also very intelligent and extremely perceptive, capable of strategic planning and improvisation. Moreover, Katsuki's grades are among the highest of his class and he already knew how to read perfectly by the age of four, evidence that he treats studying seriously. [6] [2] Katsuki also possesses surprising talent in other areas, such as cooking and music, even though he doesn't show a particular interest in them. [7] [8] Overall, Katsuki is considered a natural-born genius with the potential to be one of the best Pro Heroes around.

Eijiro's first impression of Katsuki.

While a rather volatile hero-in-training, Katsuki is smart enough to discern who his enemies and allies are. He is not particularly nice or open with people who are on his side, or anyone else for that matter, but will act less unfriendly and sometimes even kind to those that manage to earn his respect. Because of his attitude and vulgar language, Katsuki's U.A. classmates often react negatively to him, although they have come to appreciate his skills and warm up to his personality. [9] Katsuki matures slowly through his time at U.A., coming to befriend some of his classmates and willingly engaging in social interaction with them, though remaining solitary for the most part.

Like with Izuku, Katsuki has a habit of bestowing insulting nicknames upon others, such as calling Tenya Ida "Four Eyes" because of his glasses, Denki Kaminari "Dunce-Face" because of how his Electrification Quirk dulls his thinking, Shoto Todoroki "Half and Half" or "Icy-Hot" because of his dual Quirk and appearance, and so on. He also refers to people he doesn't know as "Extras" treating them as little more than fodder or stepping stones to his victory until he faces them head-on. Despite this, he can address others properly when it matters, such as when he's serious or in the heat of battle.

Katsuki trying to intimidate Shoto with Explosion.

Katsuki tends to disregard the notion that Quirks shouldn't be used in public and will activate his Quirk for a number of reasons, such as to intimidate someone, to punctuate a point, out of frustration, or even if he just feels like showing off. Overall, Katsuki doesn't seem to care very much about what others think of him, barely containing himself from violent behavior (although he avoids other typical delinquent practices like underage smoking). [10] Katsuki values honesty highly and never lies to the point his brash candor is seen by some as rude and insensitive. He is never afraid of speaking his mind and will notice when people are not being truthful to him. This shows that, despite his anti-social habits, Katsuki is an excellent judge of character, making it hard to deceive him.

Katsuki unhappy with his first place at the Sports Festival.

Due to the constant praise of his abilities and powerful Quirk, Katsuki has developed a superiority complex, and because of that, he desires to be the first and best at everything. As pointed out by many people, Katsuki loves to win above all else and cannot stand it when he doesn't, leading him to lose his already short temper or, less often, sulk. He is fiercely competitive and will never settle for less than the number one spot, having a compulsive need to always strive for victory and also prove people who doubt him wrong. However, Katsuki also values hard work and fair play, to the point of refusing to acknowledge a winning result if he feels that his victory was not earned by actual merit. Along with that, he detests being pitied or looked down on by others, and will hold contempt towards those that don't take him seriously, while recognizing the effort of those that manage to put up a challenge against him, like, for example, Ochaco Uraraka and Eijiro Kirishima .

Because of his Quirk and talents, Katsuki is very confident and brave to where he is willing to go against anyone who challenges him. He never backs down from a fight and will go out when facing such a powerful opponent. From taking on several villains at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint , Katsuki knows when dealing with someone that is out of his league, as he let All Might face off against Nomu . During the First Term Final Exam , Katsuki wasn't afraid to go up against All Might, even though he knew he had a low chance of taking him down head on.

Katsuki saving his allies from danger.

Katsuki is immensely prideful and prefers to act alone, as he hates the idea of being protected or having to rely on other people to assist him unless, in the latter's case, he is recognized as the unquestionable leading figure within a team. At the beginning of the series, Katsuki's cooperativeness was nothing short of atrocious, often ignoring his partners' ideas and suggestions for his own very direct approaches. His teamwork skills gradually improve as the series progresses, even if Katsuki keeps coming off as condescending through his usual tone. However, it's clear he now acknowledges their importance, protecting them from harm while expecting them to do the same for him in return. As a leader, Katsuki is a merciless perfectionist, and will only become satisfied with complete, indisputable victories.

Katsuki refusing Izuku's help once more, reflecting their childhood.

Katsuki often has difficulty accepting his mistakes and shortcomings, and will fiercely deny them whenever they are pointed out by others, regardless of who does it. That doesn't mean, however, that Katsuki doesn't listen to advice, having come to realize his faults and how to somewhat improve on them thanks to the words and actions of other people like All Might and Best Jeanist, but he will never outright admit due to his pride. He prefers to self-reflect in silence and solitude, becoming a bit more brooding during those periods. Katsuki's unchecked pride and aggression has cost him victories on numerous occasions, like the Battle Trial or the Provisional Hero License Exam , and it tends to worsen whenever Izuku is involved. Both characters share a sensitive history with each other, with Katsuki, in particular, being unable to completely overcome his issues with Izuku, although this has not stopped them from working together many times. [11]

Katsuki's wounded pride.

Katsuki has a more vulnerable side, having been led to tears due to damaged pride a few times. After the Battle Trial, Katsuki admitted that when he saw Shoto Todoroki's power, he couldn't beat him head on and called out how Momo Yaoyorozu was right about how reckless he was during his fight with Izuku. Katsuki has also shown moments of fear and guilt, the latter due to viewing himself and his own weakness as the cause of All Might losing his remaining power and retiring as a hero. Still, due to years of misunderstandings, tension, and pride, Katsuki has difficulty doing the same thing towards Izuku.

By the time of the Remedial Course, Katsuki had started to mature enough to the point that he was able to advise a kid, who acted similarly to him, that if he continued to look down on others then he would not realize his own mistakes. Despite this growth, he has certain personality traits that he doesn't immediately get over, like joining the Class 1-A band during the U.A. School Festival under the pretense of "beating the other classes through music", or calling his classmates in the Joint Training Battle "underlings". During his internship at the Endeavor Agency, he also berates Burnin for speaking so loudly in the morning, despite having been scolded by his mother for doing the very same thing.

Katsuki also has an honorable side to him. While he didn't believe about Izuku's Quirk belonging to someone else as well as falsely assuming that Izuku had been hiding it from him the entire time, when he learned of All For One and his Quirk , he started to believe Izuku's words and pieced it together after seeing All Might's true form, confronting the former about his assumption. After All Might confirmed his deduction, Katsuki vowed to keep One For All a secret, being one of the initial few people to know about the true power of the Quirk.

While his inspiration for becoming a hero was the same as Izuku's, the Symbol of Peace, All Might, their beliefs differ: Katsuki feels a hero should never stop fighting or give up, regardless of the threat they face, and that always winning is the mark of a true hero. Furthermore, various heroes, civilians, and even villains have commented on his arrogance and conceit. However, Katsuki is unwavering in his aspirations of heroism, having outright refused Tomura Shigaraki's proposal for him to join the League of Villains because he views the villains as people who lose and not win like heroes.

It is later revealed that Katsuki decided to help Izuku train One For All to atone for his actions. During Katsuki's discussion with All Might about his connections to Izuku, Katsuki admitted that he bullied Izuku as an outlet for his own insecurities and how he couldn't understand why Izuku would put others before himself. In truth, Katsuki really cares for Izuku despite how he acts, and wishes for him to continue improving his strength and Quirks, unlike before where he ridiculed Izuku's efforts and told him how he wouldn't amount to anything. His caring and protective side is further proven when he heard that Tomura was targeting One For All, immediately realizing that the villain leader would be going after Izuku and made attempts to keep Tomura away from him.

After Izuku left U.A. in order to face All For One alone, as well as to protect his friends and family from danger, Katsuki, along with his classmates, departed from the school in order to bring him back. Following a battle to get Izuku to come to his senses, Katsuki genuinely apologizes to the former for his actions while calling Izuku by his first name, displaying his regret over trying to usurp Izuku's strengths by putting him down and for bullying him in the past. This proves that Katsuki is repentant over his own faults, with him willing to face them in order to atone for his past actions, and now seeing Izuku as a true ally, friend, and rival figure.

Katsuki's combat prowess.

Overall Abilities : Katsuki has proven to be one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, earning third place in the Quirk Apprehension Test , while placing first in both the U.A. Entrance Exam , having the most villain points, and the U.A. Sports Festival . Katsuki's fighting style is an all-out offense, using his Quirk's propulsive abilities to close the distance between him and his opponents, followed by a bombardment of close-range attacks that often start with a powerful right hook. Katsuki is able to use his Explosion to propel himself through mid-air, blind opponents, and release long-range blasts, among other applications. Explosion is a versatile Quirk, especially for battle situations, as the recoil caused by the blasts can be exploited by Katsuki for mobility purposes.

During the U.S.J. Incident , Katsuki was able to single-handedly overpower and immobilize Kurogiri , a highly capable villain. At the U.A. Sports Festival, he defeated Fumikage Tokoyami and Shoto Todoroki, who were considered the two other strongest students in Class 1-A at that point. Many notable Pro Heroes, such as Shota Aizawa and All Might, have praised Katsuki's prowess, noting the sheer amount of potential he carries. The League of Villains also took notice of Katsuki's strength and went as far as trying to kidnap him so he could be converted to their cause, even if it meant sacrificing members of the Vanguard Action Squad as his potential membership would have far exceeded the risk.

Pushing pass his limits, Katsuki successfully defeats the Trigger-enhanced Serpenters.

Katsuki is strong enough to fight toe-to-toe and even overpower Izuku when he's using 5% of One For All, though was pressured and nearly defeated once Izuku began using 8%. During the Joint Training Battle, Katsuki displayed that he can still fight efficiently despite his Quirk being weakened by the cold weather conditions of the winter season. Katsuki also became less insubordinate when paired with people and developed exceptional camaraderie, as he utilizes his abilities to repel opponents that overpower his comrades. When Katsuki discards his pride, his comradeship proves pivotal against any formidable adversaries they face.

Not willing to let Izuku get ahead of him and never taking his intended goal of surpassing All Might lightly, Katsuki is always building up his power, improving his technique, and looking forward to knowing what he is currently unable to do, with the intent of being able to do so in the future. Katsuki's unstoppable drive to win is perhaps his biggest strength, with all of his classmates, including Izuku, having faith in his ability to earn victories.

By the time of the Paranormal Liberation War, Katsuki's overall abilities and proficiency have significantly increased, evidenced by him singlehandedly defeating the Trigger -enhanced Serpenters after a drawn-out battle, and even matching the speed of Izuku using One For All at 30%. Like Izuku, Katsuki has also grown to the point he can fight side-by-side with world class pros, such as Endeavor , Gran Torino , Best Jeanist, Mirko , and Edgeshot .

• Enhanced Strength : Katsuki possesses a high-caliber physical strength, confirmed by his ability to use his Grenade Bracers without sustaining effects from recoil, whereas Izuku nearly dislocated his arm trying to do so. He's also strong enough to casually pick up and throw people of Izuku's size considerable distance with one arm. His physical power is even enough to draw blood from Izuku at 5% of One For All with a kick.
• Enhanced Reflexes : Perhaps Katsuki's greatest physical trait is his fantastic reflexes and reaction time. He's shown on several occasions overwhelming his foes with his speed or completely evading all their attacks while striking back such as in his battles with Ochaco, Cider House, and Izuku (even when the latter was at 5% of One For All). Once Izuku began utilizing 8% of his true power, Katsuki was quickly pushed back and nearly unable to keep up at all. His superb reflexes even allow him to evade a jet of carbonated water strong enough to cleave a streetlamp in two. Evading such high-speed water attacks is an impressive feat on Katsuki's part, as jets of water can cut through metal when travelling at 760 m/s (1700 mph), which is over twice the speed of sound.
• Enhanced Durability : Katsuki is shown to possess above average endurance and durability. He's tough enough to withstand the blowback of his explosions regularly with only moderate pain. He blocked an 8% kick from Izuku without his arm breaking as well, though received a major scratch because of it. He was even proven to withstand attacks from All Might (while restraining himself), Nine, and the Serpenters, but not without large amounts of pain.
• Enhanced Stamina : Katsuki has conditioned himself to fight on for long periods of time even when heavily injured. When inflicted with sword wounds by the Serpenters' (before and after becoming Trigger-enhanced) Sword Kill Quirks, Katsuki continued to fight on par with them, and only collapsed from his injuries after defeating the twin duo. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Katsuki suffered stab wounds from a 75% augmented Tomura Shigaraki's Rivet Stab Quirk but could still hold his own against several Near High-End Nomu with aid from other heroes.

Keen Intellect : Katsuki has proven to be extremely intelligent and strategic, but his short temper often gets the best on him, causing him to overlook crucial details and commit mistakes. While he occasionally doesn't have preemptive strategies like most people, he does analyze his opponent's weaknesses such as when he realized Fumikage's weakness to light during the U.A. Sports Festival in the midst of battle and can anticipate worst-case scenarios. Even when fighting the weaker villains during the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, Katsuki quickly assessed which of the attacking villains were the most dangerous threat in the long term, and eventually figured out a way to incapacitate Kurogiri, one of the invasion's leaders. Katsuki also identified that Kurogiri's neck armor as weak point and bound the mist villain's body to hinder his escape, effectively trapping the League of Villains in the U.S.J. until Nomu intervened. When being warned of a monster attack by Katsuma Shimano , Katsuki was able to deduce that it was merely an illusion cast by Mahoro Shimano because it lacked a shadow. On the first day of the Remedial Exam, Katsuki realized that one of Masegaki Primary School students was secretly acting as the mastermind behind the children's misconduct, and soon identifies the perpetrating student towards the end of the day.

Even outside of battle, Katsuki is incredibly perceptive, having deducted the truth about One For All by just piecing together comments and interactions surrounding Izuku, All Might, and even All For One . Katsuki can seemingly detect when people are lying to him by just reading into their behaviors and expressions, such as discerning Yo Shindo 's congenial facade.

• Leadership Skills : Katsuki has always been criticized for his lack of cooperativeness, usually as a result of his overwhelming ego that prevents him from following the lead of others. However, thanks to Katsuki's very own determination, perfectionism, and intelligence, he is a capable leader should others decide to follow him instead. During round four of the Joint Training Battle, Setsuna Tokage admitted that even if her team had attacked him all at once, they stood no chance of victory. In the end, despite Class 1-B's exceptional teamwork and Setsuna's strategic planning, they failed to capture a single member of Class 1-A, mostly thanks to Katsuki's efforts, adaptability, and superior skills. More impressively, Katsuki's judicious forethought, allowed his team to secure victory in less than 5 minutes. Though he may not realize it, Katsuki is one of the main motivators of Class 1-A alongside Izuku, thanks to his power and indomitable drive to win. [5]
• Cooking Skill : Katsuki is surprisingly adept in culinary practice, being able to cut vegetables very quickly and with ease, as well as spotting how Shoto hadn't cut chives properly and scolding him for it.
• Musical Talent : Katsuki is highly skilled at playing the drums, having gone through classes in the past.
• Technical Skill : Katsuki possesses some degree of technical skill. He pinpointed the location of the Humarise base by combining the two digital world maps of Trigger Bombs and narrowing it down to a location that wasn't specified by Humarise, as well as finding the Trigger Bomb control system.

Katsuki employing his Quirk's versatility in his fighting style.

Explosion ( 爆 ( ばく ) 破 ( は ) , Bakuha ? ) : Katsuki's Quirk allows him to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms of his hands and ignite it on command, allowing him to create strong explosions. [2] The more Katsuki sweats, the stronger his explosions become. [12] If Katsuki overuses this power, his forearms will start to ache.

Katsuki has a strong grasp on the applications of his Quirk, something that was acknowledged by Best Jeanist, a top Pro Hero; not only can Katsuki use the explosions for attacking, he can also use them to propel himself and navigate through the air at high speeds, allowing him to fly at his opponents without giving them time to react, [13] as well as evade incoming attacks, even while in the air. [14] [15] The shockwave from an explosion can even be used as a shield.

Katsuki can keep up his explosions continuously, long enough to break through Eijiro's hardening Quirk [14] and negate Shoto's "Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall" for a short while before being overwhelmed. [15]

As part of his training, Katsuki submerged his hands into boiling water to expand his sweat glands, then created chain explosions toward the sky to increase the scale of his attacks.

Temporary Quirk

Katsuki and Izuku using One For All.

One For All ( ワン・フォー・オール , Wan Fō Ōru ? ) : Transferred to him by Izuku, One For All allowed Katsuki to stockpile an enormous amount of raw power, allowing him to significantly enhance all of his physical abilities to a superhuman level. This resulted in unbelievable levels of strength, speed, agility, and durability. It also provided an exceptional strength boost to his given Quirk, Explosion. [16]

At the end of his and Izuku's fight against Nine, Katsuki lost One For All and the Quirk remained in Izuku's body. Toshinori initially suspected that Izuku kept One For All because Katsuki lost consciousness prior to the transfer's completion, but later theorized that the Quirk kept itself inside of Izuku due to his willingness to protect others, even if it meant losing One For All.

Ultimate Moves

• Explosive Speed ( 爆 ( ばく ) 速 ( そく ) ターボ , Bakusoku Tābo ? ) : Katsuki throws his hands back and uses explosions to propel himself. He uses this both on the ground to increase his speed and through the air to achieve a pseudo form of flight. He first used this technique on the ground during the Quirk Apprehension Test. [17] The first time he used it to fly was during the Obstacle Race. [18]
• Point-Blank Stun Grenade ( ゼロ 距 ( きょ ) 離 ( り ) 閃光弾 ( スタングレネード ) , Zero Kyori Sutan Gurenēdo ? ) : A variation where Katsuki fires off his Stun Grenade at point-blank range of the opponent to immediately stun and immobilize them with little lasting damage. [20] This variation was first used against Setsuna in the fourth round of the Joint Training Battle .

Howitzer Impact.

• AP Machine-Gun ( 徹甲機銃 ( A・P・マシンガン ) , Ē-Pī Mashingan ? ) : A stronger version of his AP Shot: Auto-Cannon where Katsuki fires larger, rapid-fire explosions. [23] This technique was first used against Tomura in the Paranormal Liberation War Arc.
• Explode-A-Pult ( 爆破式 ( エクス ) カタパルト , Ekusu Kataparuto ? ) : While in mid-air, Katsuki grabs an opponent with one of his arms, then propels himself in a spinning motion by firing explosions with his free arm. Once he gains enough momentum, Katsuki forcefully throws his opponent with the aid of another explosion. He first used this technique against Togaru Kamakiri in the fourth round of the Joint Training Battle. [20]
• Land Mine Blast ( 爆 ( ばく ) 風 ( ふう ) 地 ( じ ) 雷 ( らい ) , Bakufū Jirai ? ) : Katsuki places his Grenadier Bracer on the ground and lets of a massive explosion into the ground, blowing back any obstacles surrounding him. This technique was first used to dissipate Mahoro Shimano 's Hologram . [16]

Katsuki using Cluster.

• Explosive Speed: Cluster ( 爆 ( ばく ) 速 ( そく ) ターボ クラスター , Bakusoku Tābo Kurasutā ? ) : Katsuki employs the Cluster technique to propel himself forward in a similar fashion to his Explosive Speed, but at a much faster rate, allowing him to catch up with extremely fast targets. [24] [25]
• Howitzer Impact: Cluster ( ハウザーインパクト クラスター , Hauzā Inpakuto Kurasutā ? ) : Katsuki employs the Cluster technique and the Strafe Panzer support item to empower his Howitzer Impact by creating larger explosions to propel himself with, as well as launching explosions in all directions. [26]
• Full Cowl - 100% ( フルカウル 100 % ( パーセント ) , Furu Kauru 100 Pāsento ? ) : Katsuki activates One For All to its fullest extent throughout Full Cowl, granting him a tremendous boost in speed and strength. Katsuki's first and only use of this technique was against Nine to defend Nabu Island . The power increase caused orange energy to trail out of Katsuki's eyes and his pupils and irises to distort. His hair also became spikier, and his entire body glowed a yellowish hue with orange electricity crackling around it. When fused with Explosion, Katsuki's original Quirk became so powerful that standard blasts from it could create enormous craters. The temperature of the explosions also increased to the point where it could melt through solid rock in a similar manner to lava as Katsuki came into close proximity to it. [16]

Katsuki using Detroit Smash in tandem with Izuku.

• Ultra Archive
• Ultra Analysis

Grenadier Bracers ( 籠 ( こ ) 手 ( て ) , Kote ? ) : A pair of arm mounted storage tanks added to Katsuki's hero costume that stores his nitroglycerin-like sweat. Once filled, he can pull the grenade pin in order to release a large focused blast, as shown when he fought Izuku in All Might's Heroes vs. Villains test. It has enough explosive power to destroy all parts of the building within its blast radius. This equipment was first used during the Battle Trial. [2]

Improvised Grenades : Around the belt of his Hero costume are several containers made to look like hand grenades. These can store Katsuki's nitroglycerin-like sweat and may be used as regular grenades at a later time. These were first used during the Provisional Hero License Exam by Denki.

Knee Pads : These are very blunt metallic attachments to Katsuki's knees. They are designed so that he can "kill with his knees," but he has not yet displayed any such use for them.

Suppressive Heavy Mobile Unit: Strafe Panzer ( 面 ( めん ) 制 ( せい ) 圧 ( あつ ) 重 ( じゅう ) 装 ( そう ) 機 ( き ) 動 ( どう ) ストレイフパンツァー , Men Seiatsu Jūsō Kidō Sutoreifu Pantsā ? ) : A number of retractable machine guns that can extend from the back of his hero costume and mount over his shoulders. Like his Grenadier Bracers, they use his nitroglycerin-like sweat as ammunition.

It has been seven years since Izuku Midoriya joined the prestigious U.A High , a school for gifted youngsters seeking to become professional heroes in the future. However, life was not a bed of roses for young Midoriya. Ever since he was a child, he only dreamed about one thing, to be a superhero like his idol, All Might. Born quirkless, Midoriya was one of the few unfortunate ones who seemed to be “abnormal” in a world full of people with X-Men-like powers.

Kōhei Horikoshi ’s wildly popular manga, My Hero Academia , showed the world with the help of Izuku Midoriya’s story how hope, hard work, persistence, and a positive outlook can overcome even the biggest obstacles. How much having a kind heart influences your life and the people around you, and how friends can become your biggest asset. My Hero Academia is the perfect example of the unwavering spirit of heroism even in the face of insurmountable odds, packing a significant punch with adrenaline-fueled battles and making you smile with the light-hearted interactions among the characters simultaneously.

Deku and his classmates are set to make their return to face the evil forces of All For One once again. But before we gear up to go Plus Ultra , let’s look at everything we know about My Hero Academia Season 7 .

Editor's Note: This article was updated on March 1.

‘My Hero Academia: You’re Next’: Trailer, Release Date, and Everything We Know So Far

An official statement was made after the Season 6 finale on March 25, 2023, confirming that the eagerly awaited Season 7 of My Hero Academia is currently in production. Season 7 is set to begin on May 4, 2024 . However, the hit show will be available a little as My Hero Academia will have four bonus episodes titled My Hero Academia Memories , airing weekly starting on April 6. These episodes will serve as a recap of all the events leading to Season 7.

My Hero Academia

A superhero-admiring boy enrolls in a prestigious hero academy and learns what it really means to be a hero, after the strongest superhero grants him his own powers.

All six seasons of My Hero Academia are available to stream on Hulu, Crunchyroll, and FUNimation. You can also buy all six anime seasons on Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime.

Watch on Crunchyroll

Right after the Season 6 finale aired with Series-high ratings , a teaser for the next season was released that hinted at the upcoming events and characters without revealing much about the plot. However, we can expect Season 7 to begin right where it left off. Midoriya, with his classmates in 1-A, as well as all the pro heroes and the residents of U.A High, are on the mend, and a possible giant-sized confrontation between the number one USA hero 'Star and Stripe' and All For One.

During Jump Festa 2024, we received our first look at My Hero Academia Season 7. While the trailer does not have English subtitles, it does feature iconic imagery from the manga as we head into one of the show's biggest arcs yet.

On March 24, a new trailer was released for My Hero Academia Season 7. In this trailer, we get a small sample of the new intro by TK from Ling Tosite. The artist is best known for performing the intro for Tokyo Ghoul .

With the vast variety of heroes and villains fighting for their ideals in Season 7, we can be sure the cast will be humongous. Though not all voice actors have been confirmed yet, we can assume the following members will be returning in My Hero Academia Season 7:

After being chosen as a successor to Japan’s former top hero All Might, young Izuku Midoriya’s life goes from 0 to 11 when he receives his mentor and idol’s powers, the One For All. Though his dream to be a superhero might be within his reach, he still has a lot to learn about the nature of his powers and the foes he is going to face.

Gradually, with the help of his friends, teachers, and of course, All Might, Midoriya (Deku) learns to hone his skills to the utmost perfection, so much so that he begins to regularly tangle with really powerful villains, eventually coming out on top. In Season 6, all the pro heroes and students of the U.A. High went toe to toe with the Paranormal Liberation Front, and even though they were successful in stopping their advance, the heroes and the city suffered high casualties, and the villains were still able to achieve their objective of liberating All For One.

Following the mass destruction, Deku goes through an emo phase when he takes all the blame upon himself, as the owner of One For All, and goes on his own to do some solo leveling up. However, his friends and teachers at U.A. High manage to get him out of it and convince him to return to his cheerful and hopeful nature.

Towards the end of Season 6, we see All Might find hope again through encouragement from an unlikely source. While All Might can't fight alone, he can still use his connections to help. The retired hero requests aid from the United Nation, meaning the arrival of North America's best, Star and Stripe.

Season 7 of My Hero Academia will pick up exactly where Season 6 left off. North America's top hero, Star and Stripe is set tot arrive and aid Deku in his fight against All for One. The Star and Stripe arc will be quickly followed up by the U.A. Traitor arc as Deku discovers that there might be someone leaking information to his greatest enemy.

Black Clover (2017-present)

If My Hero Academia were set in the magical world of Clover Kingdom, Asta would be its Izuku Midoriya. Just as the world in MHA has above 80% population born with some “quirk,” most people in the Clover Kingdom are born with magical abilities. Except for poor Asta, who dreams of becoming the Wizard King someday. He is humiliated for not getting his magical grimoire when he turns 15 and is mocked for having lofty dreams. However, one fine night, while trying to protect his best friend Yuno, Asta unlocks a power that will potentially turn the magical world upside down. And we will see more about it in the upcoming film Black Clover: Sword of The Wizard King .

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (2019- present)

Demon Slayer tells the story of young Tanjiro Kamado, whose entire family was cruelly slain by a demon while he was away. His younger sister Nezuko was the only member of his family still alive, but sadly she too was transformed into a demon. Tanjiro spends years training to become a demon hunter and defend those who are unable to protect themselves in order to purge the world of monsters and in the hope of possibly finding a cure for his sister.

Akame ga Kill! (2014)

Tatsumi, a simple-minded village boy, sets out on a journey to fulfill his dream of joining the country army; however, he accidentally becomes captive of a group of rebels known as The Night Raid. He eventually befriends them after learning the truth about the corruption and oppression under the current monarchy and decides to join their cause, playing a double agent for them. Though initially born without special powers, Tatsumi gains a suit of armor that aids him on his journey.

My hero academia season 7 unveils action-packed new teaser trailer ahead of its may release.

My Hero Academia season 7 is set to premiere in the Spring 2024 anime season, and has unveiled a new teaser trailer to build excitement.

• My Hero Academia unveils a new teaser trailer for both season 7 and its recap specials ahead of the new season's release in May 2024.
• The teaser trailer hypes up Todoroki and Dabi's intense fight in the upcoming season, as well as other key moments from the next story arc.
• The rest of the recap specials will likely focus on other major fights set to be covered in season 7.

My Hero Academia season 7 is set to premiere as part of the Spring 2024 season, about one year after the conclusion of season 6. While season 7 technically starts on April 6, the first four weeks of the anime 's return will be devoted to recap specials called Memories , and new content won’t officially start until May 4.

There’s still a somewhat long wait for the premiere of My Hero Academia season 7 , but a new teaser trailer for the series has been released. As part of the lead-up to season 7’s premiere, My Hero Academia recently unveiled a teaser trailer for one of its Memories recap specials, specifically one focused on Todoroki and Dabi’s relationship .

The teaser trailer also showed off some new footage for the main part of season 7 , and all in all, it does a great job of hyping up the events to come.

The Dawn of Modern Shonen – How My Hero Academia Revolutionized Shonen Anime With One Bold Choice

My hero academia’s new trailer teases todoroki & dabi’s big fight, produced by studio bones; based on the original manga by kohei horikoshi.

The biggest takeaway from My Hero Academia ’s new teaser trailer is yet another fight between Todoroki and Dabi. The biggest moment of season 6 was the confirmation that Dabi is Todoroki’s previously presumed deceased older brother, Toya, and with Dabi willing to kill anyone to make Endeavor suffer, Todoroki has taken it upon himself to put a stop to him. The teaser trailer didn’t show much, but it did show that My Hero Academia season 7 will depict Todoroki and Dabi’s fight with plenty of flair and quality direction , so it’s sure to be great to watch.

Todoroki and Dabi’s upcoming fight is going to be a big one, and the Memories recap specials will sell that even further. The new teaser trailer was more for the Memories recap specials than season 7, as a whole, with the recap special focused on Todoroki and Dabi, specifically, being highlighted. That means that My Hero Academia is going to give viewers a complete refresher on Todoroki and Dabi’s characters and their relationship with each other , and having that happen will do a lot to sell the impact of their battle.

What Will My Hero Academia’s Other Recap Specials Be About?

As the anime adaptation rapidly catches up to the manga, studio bones is revisiting key moments to build excitement.

With one of My Hero Academia ’s recap specials revolving around Todoroki and Dabi, that invites the question of what the other Memories specials will be about. Considering how important Todoroki and Dabi’s fight will be, the rest of My Hero Academia ’s recap specials are likely to tie into the biggest fights of season 7 , all of which will include Ochaco and Himiko, Endeavor and All for One, as well as Izuku and Shigaraki . Trailers for the rest of My Hero Academia ’s recap specials are sure to be released soon, and with any luck, they’ll be just as action-packed as Todoroki and Dabi’s.

My Hero Academia

In My Hero Academia, some humans have superpowers called quirks. Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is not one of them. Deku has always idolized heroes like the number one hero, All Might, and since he was a child, he has always wanted to be a hero. However, his lack of a quirk has always held him back, but a chance encounter with All Might after discovering a classmate in danger sets Deku on the path to becoming a true hero. My Hero Academia centers around Deku and a class of heroes-in-training at UA. This school shapes young quirk users into future heroes through fake rescue missions, combat training, and other hero-tempering tasks. With young Deku inheriting the "One-For-All" quirk, he will learn what it means to be a true hero while facing off with dastardly supervillains.

The new trailer, which was shared via the anime's official X (formerly Twitter) account, sets the suspenseful tone for the upcoming game-changing season.

These specials will begin on April 6, 2024, airing weekly until the season's brand-new episodes begin in May.

My Hero Academia Season 7 will once again run for 25 episodes, which will cover some of the manga’s most exciting story arcs.

Footage from the new trailer focuses primarily on the latter as the heroes’ battle against Shigaraki and All For One reaches its dangerous apex.

Fans will have double the dose of My Hero Academia to look forward to in 2024, as the series' fourth feature film, My Hero Academia: You're Next , will be released in Japan on Aug. 2, 2024. The movie -- which features heavier involvement from series creator Kohei Horikoshi -- is set between My Hero Academia 's sixth and seventh seasons and focuses on a misguided All Might doppelganger . In the meantime, the first six seasons of My Hero Academia are available to stream on Crunchyroll, Hulu and Prime Video.

My Hero Academia

Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
