Synopsis
Setting
My Hero Academiais set in a world where about 80% of the human population has gained superpowers called "Quirks"(Cá tính,Kosei).Quirks vary widely and can be inherited. Among the Quirk-enhanced individuals, a few of them earn the title ofHeroes,who cooperate with authorities in rescue operations and apprehending criminals who abuse their Quirks, commonly known asVillains.In addition, Heroes who excel on their duties gain celebrity status and are recognized as "Pro Heroes"(プロヒーロー,Puro Hīrō).Heroes are ranked in popularity, with higher ranking heroes receiving public appeal, although it is not uncommon for rookie heroes to gain popularity as well.
Initially the people who volunteered to do their heroic duties without permission were recognized as "Vigilantes"(ヴィジランテ,Vijirante).Students who have acted as vigilantes are not allowed to work as heroes due to Quirk restriction laws managed by the Hero Public Safety Commission(ヒーロー công an ủy ban,Hīrō Kōan Iinkai).While the act of vigilantism is inherently illegal, the vigilantes themselves represent agray area.The Hero Public Safety Commission originally enlisted vigilantes to do their dirty work until they became too organized for the vigilantes to properly deal with, so they abandoned the idea and instead focused on recruiting Pro Heroes. Some vigilantes wear costumes, but since they do not have access to support companies like heroes do, they are made out of regular clothes and everyday items.
There are two types ofinternshipsthat offer the opportunity to become a Pro Hero. The first type is the Hero Agency Internships in which the Pro Heroes can send a request to students whom wish to work under them, such as in the aftermath of the Sports Festival. It involves a student shadowing a Pro Hero, listening to their advice, and watching them in action for a week. Since the students are unlicensed, they cannot legally work as heroes. The second type is the Hero Work-Study, where, after a student acquires a Hero License after passing the Provisional Hero License Exam, they are treated as realsidekicks,which allows them to participate in relief efforts during emergency situations. This also allows them to gain experience and can help them get noticed by other Pro Heroes who might hire them as full-time sidekicks once they graduate.
Plot
Izuku "Deku" Midoriyais a teenage boy who dreams of becoming aHero,despite being bullied by his childhood friendKatsuki "Kacchan" Bakugofor lacking a Quirk. After an encounter with his idol,All Might,who is the world's greatest hero, Midoriya is chosen by All Might to inherit his Quirk "One For All" —which gives him the ability to stockpile his raw power and pass it on to others—and become his successor, as All Might was severely injured by his arch-nemesisAll For One,whose Quirk allows him to steal other Quirks for his use and pass them over to others at his will. Midoriya passes the entrance exam to U.A. High School, a school for heroes, by savingOchaco Uraraka.Midoriya, Bakugo, and Uraraka are among the twenty students placed inClass 1-A.During one of their classes, Class 1-A encounters theLeague of Villains,led by All For One's apprenticeTomura Shigaraki.
Midoriya and his classmatesShoto TodorokiandTenya Idadefeat the villainStain,who believes most heroes only desire fame. Stain's ideology spreads, and many of his believers join the League of Villains, includingDabiandHimiko Toga.The League of Villains' recruits ambush Classes 1-A and1-B,and kidnap Bakugo. All Might leads several heroes in locating the League of Villains' hideout, where All For One reveals himself. Midoriya and some of his friends rescue Bakugo as All Might battles All For One. All For One is defeated and imprisoned, while All Might exhausts the last of One For All's power and retires.
Midoriya begins an internship with All Might's former sidekickSir Nighteye.After Sir Nighteye is killed during a raid on theShie Hassaikaiyakuzagroup, Midoriya continues his internship under Todoroki's estranged fatherEndeavor,who assumed All Might's position as Japan's top hero following his retirement. Midoriya later awakens all of the Quirks initially used by theprevious users of One For All.
The League of Villains defeats and merges with another villain group, theMeta Liberation Army,forming the Paranormal Liberation Front. The pro and training heroes attempt to arrest the Paranormal Liberation Front, but most of its top members escape, including Shigaraki, who now inherits All For One's Quirk and is possessed by him. Uraraka develops sympathy for Toga after witnessing the latter cry. Dabi reveals himself as the presumed-dead son of Endeavor, whose abuse led him to villainy, shattering the public's trust in heroes. Thousands of imprisoned Villains break out, including the original All For One, descending Japan into chaos. Midoriya leaves U.A. to hunt for All For One with Japan's top heroes. However, his single-minded focus drives him to physical ruin. Midoriya's classmates bring him back to U.A., which is now a refugee camp. Civilians protest Midoriya's return until Uraraka pleads that heroes need protection too.
Midoriya's classmateYuga Aoyamareveals himself to be a spy for All For One, but uses that connection to lure the Paranormal Liberation Front into a trap. Its remaining members are defeated by the heroes and a handful of reformed villains; Toga reciprocates Uraraka's sympathy before dying while saving the latter's life, as the Todoroki family subdues Dabi. All For One battles many heroes, including All Might using apowered suit,and his body is eventually destroyed by Bakugo. Shigaraki battles Midoriya and breaks free from All For One's control. Unable to defeat him physically, Midoriya transfers One For All to Shigaraki to damage him from within. All For One regains control, but is defeated by hero reinforcements; as the remnants of the past One For All wielders and Shigaraki rebel against him, Midoriya strikes the killing blow.
Eight years later, Midoriya has lost the power of One For All completely and become a teacher at U.A., while all of his former classmates have become Pro Heroes. All Might gives Midoriya a powered suit of his own, funded by his former classmates, which he uses to become a hero again.
Production
Development
Horikoshi stated that after his previous seriesBarragewas canceled after just two volumes, he was sad and out of ideas.[5]In order to get more ideas, he revisited aone-shothe previously published inAkamaru Jump,titledMy Hero(Phó の ヒーロー,Boku no Hīrō).This would end up being the basis for the series.[6]Horikoshi was also a big fan of American films and comics, likeSpider-Man[broken anchor]directed bySam Raimi,Star Wars,andX-Men,which he used for inspiration.[7][6]Horikoshi citesMasashi Kishimoto'sNarutoas being the main influence for his art, specifically stating it gave him a love for drawing hands.[8]Horikoshi has also citedDragon Ball,Ultraman,andKamen Rideras sources of inspiration.[7][6]Additionally, Horikoshi noted that he likesGameraandGodzillafranchises and made references to thesekaijumedia and mentioned about them in several comments.[9][10]
Hitoshi Koike, the editor ofMy Hero Academia,said that Horikoshi already had a general story in mind for the manga. However, he also noted there were many rejected story ideas, and that Horikoshi dismissed some ideas himself. Koike also stated that Horikoshi liked to use his inspirations.[6]Koike also notedMy Hero Academia's first three chapters took longer to complete than many other new serialized works. Koike and Horikoshi worked on concepts about the characters' designs while finishing the storyboards; Koike felt excited about the characters' designs despite not knowing their role in the plot.[6]
Kengo Monji, the second editor of the manga, said Horikoshi had a difficult time writing chapters at first. Monji felt that mi xing the flair of Japan'sshōnenmangawith "heroes", a concept that he felt was understandable to a wide audience. Monji also complimented Horikoshi's artwork, noting itscartoon-style.[6]
Conclusion
Horikoshi originally stated thatMy Hero Academiawould not be as long asOne Piecesince he felt he did not have enough stamina; instead preferring to keep it concise in comparison to othershōnenmanga series.[7]In April 2021, Horikoshi stated that the series had continued for longer than expected, but that it is still leading toward the ending that he had decided upon before the series began.[11]In December 2021, he stated during the interview atJump Festa '22that "if things go smoothly, the manga will meet its goal to end in one year. If it doesn't go smoothly, I think [Izuku's voice actor] Yamashita will be reading out the exact same letter from me at next year's Jump Festa." He also teased thatKatsuki Bakugowould soon get a "big scene".[12]Horikoshi wrote in the 34th volume of the manga that "I feel like I can finally see the goal in sight. It's a rather strange feeling getting to this point. In the past, I would just be drawing without a single care [for the future], but now I wonder just how many more times can I draw these characters? Change is scary as you grow older. Well, I really shouldn't dwell on that! Until next volume then!".[13]In October 2022, the author rescinded the statement he made during Jump Festa '22, opting to take longer to complete the manga's final arc than initially expected.[14]
In December 2022, although Horikoshi stated that his estimations were wrong, he said that the ending of the manga is "very close".[15]In December 2023, he reiterated on what he said in the previous year's event. However, he added that there were still many things he wanted to draw beyond the battle that was currently ongoing in the manga. The author also jokingly said that "if the series continues until next year's Jump Festa, we will hold a Dogeza Festival on the stage."[16]In June 2024,Shueishaannounced in the year's 27th issue ofWeekly Shōnen Jumpthat the manga entered its "epilogue" with the 424th chapter. Horikoshi stated in his comment that while usually the conclusion of a story is short, it isn't the kind of manga to end immediately after defeating the villain, and so it'll go on "a little longer," while he added that the manga would "return to its title."[17]Later in the same month, it was announced that the series would end in five chapters after a ten-year run on August 5, 2024. The author felt thankful for the fans who support him and made it possible to drawDekuand the others for the past ten years.[18]
Anime adaptation
My Hero Academiaproducer Wakana Okamura, who previously worked withBonesonBlood Blockade Battlefront,stated in an interview that he chose to work with Bones on adapting the series because Okamura felt they would make it a "high-quality production" with a "wide reach [both] internationally and domestically". Okamura also stated the production staff, especially the character designerYoshihiko Umakoshi,were fans of the manga.[19]DirectorKenji Nagasakisaid Bones wanted to "make [the series] with a strong core and backbones".[19]Yōsuke Kurodasaid he was a fan of the series prior to its anime adaptation, so he quickly accepted when offered to do thescreenwriting.[20]
For the casting, theWeekly Shōnen Jumpmagazine was first announced that the anime starringDaiki Yamashitaas Izuku Midoriya,Kenta Miyakeas All Might,Nobuhiko Okamotoas Katsuki Bakugō,Ayane Sakuraas Ochako Uraraka,Kaito Ishikawaas Tenya Iida,Aoi Yūkias Tsuyu Asui,Ryō Hirohashias Minoru Mineta,Marina Inoueas Momo Yaoyorozu, andYoshimasa Hosoyaas Fumikage Tokoyami.[21]In February 2016,Tasuku Hatanaka,Toshiki MasudaandYuki Kajijoined the cast as Denki Kaminari, Eijirō Kirishima andShōto Todorokirespectively.[22]In an interview withJustin BrinerandChristopher Sabat,they expressed interest about the broadcastdubinFunimation.Briner, the voice of Izuku, said the broadcast dubbing process was more consistent, but also said it felt strange to do it on a regular home video release. Sabat, who voices All Might, felt that even the actors and director were making the show without knowing the full story because they had not yet been told what the story was.[19]
During the production for the anime'ssecond season,Umakoshi felt impressed that Horikoshi's designs were very suited for animation. He also stated that in terms of giving the characters more life and movement, all they basically did was simplify the dialogue. He believes that the manga already had a lot of movement before animating. Regarding the fight between Todoroki and Izuku, Umakoshi believes that he was able to develop a story that could not fail, by considering which part of the story would be handled by which key animation, and by choosing someone with a high level of skill. He identified certain things and collated who would work best in other parts of the scene. After the airing of an episode, Umakoshi felt that the anime had a great response not only from the manga fans but also from the Japanese viewers.[23]
Umakoshi was also looking forward not only the development of the relationship between Deku and All Might, but also between Deku and Bakugo as the future material from the manga which has not been animated yet. Unlike the otherShonen Jumpadaptation titles such asNarutoandOne Piecewhere the staff worked throughout the year, Umakoshi said the production cycle ofMy Hero Academiais best suited to continuous work throughout the year. He also said: "In reality, sometimes it doesn't work out that way, due to different aspects of business and things. But in reality, the schedule did line up so that we worked on the second season right after the first season ended, so I have been working on it somewhat continuously, even if the delivery of the product comes in batches."[23]
Themes and analysis
Horikoshi has stated that the main theme he focuses on is "what makes a hero".[24]He also stated that he likes stories with bad endings, as well as horror stories. However, he finds these difficult to draw since his mood when he draws is the same in the story. In order to combat this, he puts in more silly-looking characters likeFat Gum,in order to keep the mood up.[24]
The series explores themes such as the nature of heroism, the importance of perseverance and determination, and the power of friendship and teamwork. Horikoshi said that he was inspired by the idea of creating a world where anyone, regardless of their background or abilities, could become a hero. He wanted to show that even those without powers could still make a difference and achieve their dreams through hard work and determination.[25]That vision results in heroes in the series not being egotistical, but passionate and dedicated individuals with clear goals to work towards.[26]The series also explores on Izuku, who idolized heroes from a young age, and his enthusiasm. In a world where superheroes are not just regulated, but commercialized brands, he still sees something inspiring in their actions.[26]
My Hero Academiahas been noted for its positive view of heroes. Cramer wrote that "in the modern world, we often challenge heroic ideals, and the motivations of the people who pursue them", noting how in American media the optimism of theSilver Age of Comic Bookslead to post-Watchmenambiguity. He also noted that, even in Japan, unquestioned heroism is often challenged in modern revisions of older series, such as inYattermanandGatchaman.[26]

He also compared the series to the other superhero works likeTiger & BunnyandOne-Punch Man,stating thatMy Hero Academiaproves that "manga can do superhero comic books that are every bit as imaginative as American superhero comics".[295]Manga Bookshelf praised the first volume for its art, saying that it demonstrated Horikoshi's skill very well, though criticizing it for having too much narration at some points.[296]Reviewing volumes 1 to 19, Michelle Smith fromSoliloquy in Bluecalled the plot "very good", but also stated that the main reason she liked the series was the characters, specifically praising most of the main cast.

He stated that its cast of characters is what makes it stand out more than anything.

He concluded that "the first season ofMy Hero Academiadelivers thirteen episodes of fantastic action, elevated by a heartfelt story that's wrapped around a core cast of memorable and relatable characters ".[340]In his review for the second season, Osborn praised it as "truly something special", complimenting the animation, character developments, and emotions. He called it as "one of the best TV shows" he had ever watched.[341]Tom Speelman ofPolygonpraised the anime for its animation, action and characters.

He said that despite it being a long running series, it manages to not feel directionless and has several great moments.[343]
Nick Creamer ofAnime News Networkalso praised the adaptation.

That bloodied-up All Might is striking in either form, and you can tell they pulled out all the stops in making the big hits as intense and crazy as possible. From a pacing perspective, I'm really pleased with how this Bakugo Rescue arc played out." He concluded: "This isMy Hero Academia's proudest moment in the spotlight. Not only does it continue to be the darling of modernShonen Jumpwith one of the mostly perfectly tuned anime adaptations a long-running series has ever received, this is an accomplishment of storytelling across the board. "[346]Marina Garrow fromAnime Feministpraised the way the plot handles damsel-in-distress elements, especially when compared to othershōnenseries, stating that the female characters are not the only characters that need saving, and when they do need saving, the situations are realistic and not overexaggerated.[347]

Unit 731 controversy
In early 2020, the series caused a controversy in South Korea and China for a character's name allegedly referencingUnit 731,[397]an infamous Imperial Japanese army unit known forvivisectingcaptured Chinese, Korean, and Russian individuals. In response, it has been removed from digital platforms in China, and the character's name was changed to no longer reference Unit 731.[398]A day prior, bothWeekly Shōnen Jumpmanga magazine publisherShueishaand the manga's author Kōhei Horikoshi issued an individual apology statements on Twitter.[399]
In the aftermath of the manga's removal from its services in China, the English-language news service Abacus reached out tobilibiliandTencentfor its request. The former stated that the removal was "in accordance with China's policies" but declined to comment further, while the latter did not respond to Abacus' request for comment.[399]The character's name was changed again by the digital version ofWeekly Shōnen Jumpfollowing the backlash. Shueisha promised that "going forward, we intend to devote our energies toward deepening our understanding of a variety of historical and cultural matters." Both the publisher and manga's creator reiterated that the reference towar crimeswithin the character's name was wholly unintentional.[400]
