Time to get quirky excited!
At the end of the fourth season which aired on Saturday, April 4th, it was revealed through a new promo video that My Hero Academia will get a fifth television anime season! We don’t know when the fifth season will air, but we will keep you posted on further details as they are released in the coming weeks and months.
My Hero Academia is a manga series created by Kohei Horikoshi that began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump starting June 2014 and has 26 compiled volumes as of this year. The anime adaptation began airing its first season in April 2016 with new seasons appearing yearly ever since. A theatrical movie, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, was released in August 2018 and another theatrical movie, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, was released in December 2019.
The story takes place in a world where superheroes exist thanks to special powers called “quirks”. One young man named Izuku was born without a quirk but still desperately wanted to grow up to become a hero like his idol All Might. After a couple of chance encounters between the two, Izuku is scouted by All Might to inherit his power and also helps him enroll in a very special school for heroes in training. All three seasons of the anime have focused squarely on Izuku’s training but the first half of the fourth season focused on the intern arc which saw the introduction of a new character while the second half focused on the school festival arc.
This is obviously fantastic news for fans of My Hero Academia (and it probably means that I should go back and finish season four at some point in the near future). This series has been wildly popular since it first premiered and I see absolutely no signs of the momentum dropping as we enter the new decade!
