While I realize that the real series that everyone is looking forward to in the fall is Chihayafuru Season 3 until that day arrives we’re just going to have to settle for season four of My Hero Academia. I know, heartbreaking.
All jokes aside, on August 31 a brand new promotional video was posted to YouTube to get fans hyped for the latest season of one of the biggest shonen series of the last few years. Lasting a full 163 seconds, this is the perfect hype trailer that shows off everything: story highlights, a new character, a brand new theme song, action, drama, the works!
The new theme song you hear in that promotional video is entitled “Polaris” by the band Blue Encount. Meanwhile, the new silver-haired character you saw a few times is a girl named Eri who will be played by Seiran Kobayashi and plays a major role in the story for this season. The new season is set to begin on October 12.
My Hero Academia is a manga series created by Kohei Horikoshi that began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump starting June 2014 and has 24 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, is set to release during 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 fourth season is set to cover the Intern arc which began in the manga’s 14th volume.
