The final war between the Heroes and All for One in My Hero Academia has come to an end. Kohei Horikoshi’s masterpiece has brought the conclusion in the most unique way possible, and fans couldn’t have hoped for anything else. Chapter 423 showcased the final moments of the battle as Izuku landed his last punch on All for One.

While the ending of the series was spot on, many fans believed that My Hero Academia might follow the path of Naruto and make the antagonist of the series, Shigaraki Tomura, switch sides and help the heroes take down the main villain. This would have made My Hero Academia a copy of Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto.
Fortunately, Horikoshi knew what he was doing, and he gave his story the perfect ending that did justice to the characters of Shigaraki, Izuku,...

In season 6 of My Hero Academia, Dabi lets loose the biggest family secret of Endeavor. Fans immediately began to doubt the sense of justice of the top heroes and the hero association itself. How can they be trusted with serving justice when they oppress their own families?
Additionally, Kohei Horikoshi shared a sketch of Dabi, which looked inspired by Joaquin Phoenix’s take on the Joker. The viral “Dabi dance,” along with Horikoshi’s sketch, made fans compare Dabi with the Joker even more.
Why is Kohei Horikoshi’s Dabi Similar to the Joker?

Some anime characters leave a deep impression despite a short appearance in the series. Star and Stripe was one such character in Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia, who wrapped fans around her pinky in the span of a few chapters/episodes.
Yet, the powerful lady could not survive the threat posed by Shigaraki and died a heroic death just as suddenly as she was introduced. In fact her sudden and forced exit from My Hero Academia led fans to doubt Kohei Horikoshi’s skills as a writer.

My Hero Academia is reaching its climax, with Izuku Midoriya currently busy fighting Tomura Shigaraki and All for One. It has been one of the most stand-out anime of the modern generation, with the story improving with every arc. Izuku Midoriya’s journey from being quirkless to inheriting the most powerful quirk and fighting the evils has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride.
Kohei Horikoshi has etched his name as one of the most popular manga artists of the modern generation. One of the best things about him is that he does not bind himself to the Japanese culture and often explores Western culture. He takes inspiration from American superheroes. During an interview, he mentioned a web-crawler who reminds him of Son Goku.

This article contains spoilers for My Hero Academia season 7 episode 1.
My Hero Academia is an entertaining shonen anime that cleverly riffs on the superhero genre. This means that epic superpowered showdowns are par for the course where grandiose villains threaten to reshape the world through malevolent means. However, the anime’s most recent storyline that concludes season 6 and kicks off the seventh season descends hero society into all-out war. All For One, society’s most evil and dangerous villain, has triggered a parasitic relationship with Tomura Shigaraki that’s blended their consciousness to become the ultimate antagonist. Japan’s Pro Heroes have proven to be useless against Shigaraki’s powerful awakening and season six ends on a suspenseful cliffhanger that recruits international reinforcements to take on this apocalyptic threat.

Before diving into My Hero Academia Season 7 we kicked things off with four recap episodes ( My Hero Academia: Memories ). This has allowed us to reminisce about everything that’s happened so far. Thinking about the early days of Izuku Midoriya doing everything he could to prove that “Deku is the name of the hero” got me thinking about all the anime openings from the series and how they’re the perfect way to show the shift from “kid with a dream” to “kid facing the harsh realities of that dream.” To me, anime openings tell a story, working as a preview of what to expect from the series you’re about to watch. Whether it’s through the visuals or the lyrics (whether we realize it or not when we first watch it), anime openings are a big component of the anime-watching experience.

In most anime and manga series, Katsuki Bakugo would be the protagonist — he’s hot-blooded, hot-tempered and hot-headed (and technically hot-handed too). Bakugo is stubborn and headstrong and doesn’t let anything get in the way of his goals, using his natural talent to push his way through obstacles that attempt to block his path. He’s also kind of lacking in social skills and manners, being seen as rude (for good reason) by his friends and peers. On paper, all of this would make Bakugo the protagonist of My Hero Academia , but he’s not, and it's one of the series’ genius subversions.

The battle between Deku and Shigaraki in My Hero Academia has shifted tremendously with All for One appearing as a vestige in Shigaraki’s mental realm and essentially taking over the body of the antagonist. This changed the whole storyline as All for One was supposed to be dead and Deku was supposed to change the mind of Shigaraki and bring him to the good side.

All for One appearing in Shigaraki’s mind although may bring a lot of trouble for the heroes, does make the story interesting.

Deku, the quirkless protagonist of My Hero Academia, sets a prime example of an underdog’s tale. His lack of a quirk is what made him a prime recipient of One For All, and set the stage for his conquests. Yet, a recent theory that has the power to topple everything you know suggests that Deku’s original quirk was stolen.
As you know, 80% of the population in My Hero Academia has quirks, and the other 20% don’t. A fan theory suggests that 20% of people might have a minor quirk or something that they never had to use.
Someone could have the quirk of breathing in space, but they will never know their quirk because they have never been to space. They might be immune to poisons, or they can converse with alligators, but they have never encountered one. All For One, for example, seemed quirkless but could transfer quirks.

Kohei Horikoshi is one of the best mangaka of the modern generation. His magnum opus, My Hero Academia, has sold millions of copies. Since the manga was adapted into an anime, it gained worldwide popularity, and subsequently, its viewership also increased with each season. The mangaka is pretty popular among the fans, and they love to watch Deku getting closer to his dreams.
Even though Horikoshi’s magic hands created one of the greatest pieces of fiction, there is a particular character that he would not like to be friends with. Fans found it shocking after knowing that he felt like that towards his creation. The character who made Kohei Horikoshi made him feel that way is none other than Bakugo Katsuri.

My Hero Academia chapter 417 was recently released and it has shaken the My Hero Academia fans. A significant portion of the chapter focused on the Shimura family, as Shigaraki was subjected to abuse by his father for the mere desire to model himself after a hero. Deku witnessed all of this, with Nana Shimura supporting him throughout.

At last, Nana has the opportunity to apologize to her son Kotaro, which culminates in a heartwarming moment of atonement. That was not, however, the chapter’s most fascinating point. In the same chapter, Deku ultimately defeats Shigaraki’s defenses, but in the process, the last traces of the One For All users are taken away.

Among the countless new-gen anime series, the ones that reign over their competitors are Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and My Hero Academia. Fans of My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer often debate who the better protagonist is between Deku and Tanjiro.
Inko Midoriya, Deku’s Mom from My Hero Academia
Although they both are well-written characters, a few of Izuku Midoriya’s traits will always help him reign over Tanjiro while proving why Deku is a better protagonist than him. The traits are his perseverance and ability to crawl back up despite how difficult life is and how many odds are against him. Deku would always bounce back, not giving up.

My Hero Academia is one of the most well-known and globally acclaimed anime and manga franchises in the world and has a gigantic fanbase scattered all around the globe. It has seen a sharp increase in viewership in the past few decades, and since Covid, has become a hub of entertainment for millions.
My Hero Academia, season 7
Anime has changed a lot over the years, and one of the foremost reasons for its popularity is the anime adaptation of My Hero Academia. The series was widely popular in the US, and since the announcement of its anime, many popular publishers, such as Crunchyroll, applied for its distributing rights, which managed to drop piracy around the world. However, despite this, Kohei Horikoshi’s series’s 6th season is the 5th most pirated in the world.

As I have also mentioned in the past, after the first two seasons, the quality of “My Hero Academia” decreased significantly, with the fifth one, which was essentially a preparatory one for the big clash that was about to follow, being probably the worst. Thankfully, and although a number of the issues the series faces are still present, the sixth one signifies a return to form for Kenji Nagasaki and the whole crew behind the title.

My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 25
“The soul of a hero exists only for the sake of others.”
My Hero Academia has always been about the respectful bond and surrogate father-son relationship between Toshinori “All Might” Yagi and Izuku “Deku” Midoriya. “Izuku Midoriya: Origin,” the anime’s very first episode, beautifully establishes this dynamic, which has beautifully blossomed over the course of six seasons. All Might and Deku haven’t always been side-by-side and one of the strongest aspects of My Hero Academia’s sixth season is how it explores the stresses and failures between these two.
All Might and Deku both head down isolating paths while they consider if they’ve let the other down, all while this season bolsters a bizarro version of these two–Tomura Shigaraki and All For One–who seemingly thrive through their perversion of the surrogate guardian and student dynamic.

“And you call yourselves heroes?”
Any series with a cast as big as My Hero Academia is going to face balancing issues where certain characters get underserviced or completely abandoned. Ochaco Uraraka is one of the first friends that Midoriya makes in My Hero Academia. The anime’s first season implies big things for this budding hero, but she’s been significantly sidelined and Uraraka fans are lucky to get two episodes a season that put her in the spotlight. Uraraka’s Zero Gravity is on the stronger side of abilities, yet she’s seldomly involved in any of the show’s big villain brawls.
Audiences have accepted that it’s unlikely that Uraraka will use her Quirk to defeat Shigaraki, but in “A Young Woman’s Declaration” she makes use of an even greater power–empathy–to...

“People who experience setbacks in life are called villains.”
There’s no clear roadmap on how to become a hero and there are endless paths that lead to the same goal. My Hero Academia features a diverse cast of heroes with eclectic backstories and motivations, but it’s a series that always celebrates teamwork, celebration, and how people are strongest when they work together rather than isolate themselves. Some of My Hero Academia’s most powerful moments are battle climaxes where two characters deliver the finishing blow in tandem. There’s no victory in My Hero Academia that’s not stronger when shared with a friend. Deku continues to head down a dark and dangerous path, but “Friend” is an emotional installment that attempts to remind the hero about what’s important before it’s too late.

“Do you really think that it will all end with that boy?”
My Hero Academia perpetually praises the heroes who safeguard society. However, there have also been striking occasions where heroic individuals lose their way and the series highlights how easy it is for misplaced morals to forever change someone’s life. These unfortunate victims of circumstance have popped up throughout the course of My Hero Academia’s run, but “Hired Gun” unites multiple characters on this front, whether it’s All For One, Shigaraki, Lady Nagant, and possibly even Deku as he wobbles on the precipice of darkness through the season’s final arc. “Hired Gun” marks the start of some big decisions on Deku’s part that will forever change his future, but also society as a whole.

“I want to save that kid.”
There’s always been a fascinating symmetry between Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigaraki, but the past two seasons of My Hero Academia have really embraced the complicated, symbiotic relationship between this apex hero and villain. There’s a rejuvenated energy after the near-fatal feud between Midoriya and Shigaraki. However, the holding pattern that both sides of the war have found themselves in trigger major revelations that hit just as hard as their impassioned punches in battle.
“Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigaraki” is the perfect time to look inward since Midoriya is literally bed-ridden and confined to his own thoughts. Only, as he’s learned before, the voices in his head no longer belong to just him. These existential tete-a-tetes have previously been selective with the past One For All bearers who break through to Deku.

While this encounter wasn’t technically a victory for either side, it’s the villains who are able to move freely and continue to realize their dreams while U.A.

Rest is necessary, but “Tartarus” illuminates just how important it is for the heroes to jump back in action as Shigaraki pulls off the villains’ greatest coup to date.

This denim-clad defender of justice has been an anomaly throughout My Hero Academia’s run, but he’s continued to show audiences that he’s not someone to underestimate. A lot of “Threads of Fate’s” success is dependent upon the viewer’s opinion of Best Jeanist.

My Hero Academia is an anime that’s rich in history and worldbuilding and several episodes are devoted to explaining how certain iconic characters came to be the individuals that they are today. My Hero Academia has turned to the running device of “Origin” episodes as a way to reveal backstory and character development, whether it’s been for Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, or even Tomura Shigaraki.
These are all revelatory episodes of the anime, but My Hero Academia has also increasingly adopted a similar approach with the suffix, “Rising,” as a way to celebrate these characters’ milestones and their evolution into new echelons of power and insight. There’s been the “All Might: Rising” Ova, season two’s “Yaoyorozu: Rising,” and even the series’ second feature film,...

At the time, these training exercises were criticized as filler–albeit entertaining filler–that allow the characters to show off their skills, but still reset the slate by the time that the credits roll. “League of Villains vs. U.A.

Superhero stories are saturating the market, there is no denying it. While this is mostly an American thing, it also impacts Japan, where one of the biggest manga and anime franchises today centers around superheroes: "My Hero Academia." The show is essentially "Sky High" the anime, as it takes place in a world of superheroes and focuses on a group of young students at an academy for future heroes. From the onset, "My Hero Academia" stands out because it doesn't make powers special but commonplace, with 80 of the global population having some sort of "quirk" or power. Here, a hero is not an outlaw, but a profession you need to study for, a police force-like government-sanctioned organization with rules and limitations.
While the show is generally very entertaining, it sometimes suffers from being a bit repetitive in its following of classic shōnen tropes, as it spends most of its runtime on school stuff — exams,...

“The Pros that you admire so much play dirtier than guys like me.”
“Don’t reject me anymore” is a sentiment that’s shared by Shigaraki in the previous episode of My Hero Academia, yet it becomes the mantra for several characters–Dabi, Fumikage, Dr. Garaki, even the many Nomu–in “Thrill of Destruction.” The Shigaraki-centric installment features the character’s highly anticipated rebirth, but it’s also full of characters who prove that they belong and are beyond rejection before they’re pushed to dangerous, new places.
The beginning of My Hero Academia’s sixth season has been deeply immersed in battle with very little time for reprieve. “The Thrill of Destruction” focuses on three central clashes, all of which become irrelevant after the Paranormal Liberation Front releases their secret weapon: Tomura Shigaraki. There’s genuine tension that surrounds this moment.

My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 4
“The world can change because of the single obsession of one person.”
My Hero Academia loves to have its villains wax poetic. The above quotation about the domino effect that can be triggered by one person’s radical thinking is uttered by Dabi during a moment of cleansing triumph, but it’s a mantra that’s also applicable to All For One, Overhaul, Stain, and even All Might. My Hero Academia is very much a show that celebrates powerful teamwork, but it’s frequently those that stray from the pack that make the greatest impact. There are multiple “single obsessions” that are at odds in “Inheritance,” but it’s the clash between Hawks and Dabi that’s the most volatile. These two are both students of Endeavor in their own ways, yet one is honored to be associated...

My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 3
“You were just unlucky.”
My Hero Academia has always asked compelling questions about what it takes to be a hero. Lately there’s been just as much examination over what makes a villain. Dire stakes lead to difficult decisions and slipping moral compasses. Bitter showdowns can be dangerous places to learn someone’s true values and what they’re willing to do when there are no other options. There’s a lot of death and destruction in “One’s Justice,” but audiences might be surprised over which team is responsible for this carnage and if it might be time to reassess who the real heroes are in this war.
“One’s Justice” benefits from how it swings its perspective back over to the villains to highlight how they’re dealing with this well-orchestrated attack. It’s an appreciated...

My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 1
“It’s finally starting…”
Seasoned My Hero Academia fans have pretty much learned to write off any season’s premiere episode since they’ve routinely been remedial recap installments that are meant to cater towards the casual audiences. Six seasons in and after more than 100 episodes, these playful recaps become increasingly difficult to cover all of the pivotal events from the series. Simultaneously, season five of My Hero Academia ended on the peak of excitement and the prospect of another premiere that begins with, “This is a superhuman society, with 80 of the population possessing some uncanny ability or power called a Quirk,” would be borderline insulting to the dedicated fans.
Thankfully, for the first time ever, “A Quiet Beginning” is a premiere that kicks off with zero recap or filler material, which means that it can dive right into the action.

The path the franchise of “My Hero Academia” seems to be taking is not exactly ideal. As I was writing in my review of the fourth season, “Kenji Nagasaki introduces new characters almost constantly, to the point that some have to die if he is to keep the story compact and coherent, something that does actually happen in this season”. This tendency continues in the fifth even more intently, with Nagasaki introducing a whole new army of super villains, with the plethora of new individuals essentially having taken the place of the intricacy of the first seasons. Let us take things from the beginning, though.

In a distinct sign that context has given its place to impression, the season falls head-on in the action almost immediately, with class A-1 receiving “real-life” training against other heroes posing as villains, before they get into a tournament of sorts against Class B.

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 24
“I wonder if this itch would have stopped…”
Hey, remember when this was a show about plucky heroes?
Picking up on the powerful revelations and themes that the previous episode “Tenko Shimura: Origin” establishes, “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” continues that chilling story in order to tell the grander narrative of the Symbol of Fear’s birth. This episode is a heartbreaking look into Shigaraki’s first steps as a villain that’s contrasted with his current destructive war against the Meta Liberation Army. In the previous episode, Re-Destro teases that Shigaraki was experiencing an awakening and “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” brings it to fruition.
My Hero Academia’s previous “Tenko Shimura: Origin” told one of the series’ darkest stories that already casts the series’ major villain in a new light. However, “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” hits equal levels of nihilism as...
