The fifth season of My Hero Academia’s anime is set to launch on March 27, and with the new installments comes a new challenge for Class 1-A students, beating their competitors in 1-B, and Shonen’s franchise has unveiled a new trailer as we await the return of the Midoriya and his fellow students at UA Academy. After an exciting end to season four that saw Deku learn more about the power of One For All, it’s clear that the return of the anime poses big things for the crime cheats created by Kohei Horikoshi.
Things have certainly not been easy for Midoriya since he inherited the Quirk of One For All from his idol, All Might. With the former Symbol of Peace retiring from fighting crime after his titanic battle against All For One, Deku had to push things forward a bit, proving himself in the last season by fighting the villainous Revival and the viral villain in Gentle Criminal. Needless to say, there will be plenty of challenges for both Izuku and his classmates in this new exercise that will pit 1-A against 1-B and at the same time strengthen their skills.
In addition to this huge brute, the season also seems to take the opportunity to dive further into the nefarious errors of the Villains League, with Shigaraki origins on the longer study. Like so many other characters in the franchise, the young director of the villainous band had a difficult upbringing at the moment, and Shigaraki’s stories during this time in the manga are certainly the longest times from fans who franchise.
This year will not be a big hit due to the return of the anime series but it is also getting fans ready for a truly new film My Hero Academia. Arriving as the third film of the series, the franchise hasn’t revealed much detail on what we might expect for our favorite heroes. As the first poster shows Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki wearing some new clothes, it’s clear that the next film of the franchise plans to introduce some changes to the myth.
