That time of year again! Welcome to the My Hero Academia Season 5 OT!
Let's jump in!
Let's jump in!
DO NOT SPOIL ANYTHING FROM THE MANGA. THAT INCLUDES HINTING AT THINGS TO COME.
If you must discuss the manga, we have an excellent general OT for My Hero Academia where you can talk spoilers to your heart's content.
Other than that, just try to be friendly and respectful to all your fellow posters. Play nice.
In a world where 80% of the population is born with a superpower known as a Quirk, society has adjusted accordingly leading to a plethora of superheroes and supervillains around the world. The heroes save people, chase fame and glory, while the villains savor chaos, destruction, and upending the status quo. My Hero Academia follows the story of Izuku Midoriya, a previously quirkless teen who now has a chance to become the #1 hero in the world like his idol and mentor, All Might. Enrolling in U.A. to make his dreams come true, Midoriya now walks the path of a hero.
