Synopsis

The appearance of "quirks," newly discovered super powers, has been steadily increasing over the years, with 80 percent of humanity possessing various abilities from manipulation of elements to shapeshifting. This leaves the remainder of the world completely powerless, and Izuku Midoriya is one such individual.

Since he was a child, the ambitious middle schooler has wanted nothing more than to be a hero. Izuku's unfair fate leaves him admiring heroes and taking notes on them whenever he can. But it seems that his persistence has borne some fruit: Izuku meets the number one hero and his personal idol, All Might. All Might's quirk is a unique ability that can be inherited, and he has chosen Izuku to be his successor!

Enduring many months of grueling training, Izuku enrolls in UA High, a prestigious high school famous for its excellent hero training program, and this year's freshmen look especially promising. With his bizarre but talented classmates and the looming threat of a villainous organization, Izuku will soon learn what it really means to be a hero.

PLUS ULTRA BEGINNINGS: The Plushie Crew’s First Dive into Anime with My Hero Academia Season 1 (9/10)

After spending countless evenings watching movies and TV series together, The Plushie Crew finally decided it was time to explore the vast universe of anime. With little experience beyond scattered clips of Pokémon, Dragon Ball, and Naruto, choosing a starting point felt overwhelming. Thankfully, Tails—being the techie and superhero fan he is—suggested My Hero Academia, and honestly, it turned out to be the perfect pick.

Season 1 of My Hero Academia was an emotional and energetic ride that struck a surprising chord with all of us. The show quickly pulled ...

Mixed Feelings
If you want to watch My Hero Academia, don't start with season 1. Go and watch season 4 or 5 first, then come back to get that "backstory" you missed out on.

My Hero Academia fluctuated a lot in terms of quality over its course, and sadly, the first season is a very mixed bag that is still controversially discussed, even within the fandom.

While it introduced various interesting concepts, such as being a normal teenager in a world oversaturated with heroes, the effect the wide-spread occurrence of superpowers had on society, or the story of a top tier hero struggling with the loss of his power, ...

When it comes to raw power and magnetic charm, Minoru Mineta stands alone as the undisputed heavyweight champ of My Hero Academia. His quirk? Those unforgettable, outrageously sticky balls—spheres of strength and dominance so potent they could hold down a villain faster than any punch. If One For All had a crown, Mineta would wear it proudly atop his glorious head (and, of course, alongside his legendary sticky balls).

Mineta’s balls aren’t just sticky—they are living symbols of his virile power and heroic spirit. Each ball is a perfectly crafted orb of adhesive might, carrying the weight of his confidence and unshakable resolve. These balls embody ...
