I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!



SEASON 2!! Last year's adaptation of the hit Jump series My Hero Academia is returning for a second season! Set in a world where almost everyone has superpowers, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, a formerly powerless boy, has inherited the superpower of the greatest hero in the world and has enrolled in the country's leading hero academy. Last season found Deku trying to control his incredible power without ripping his body apart, a slew of new friends, and the first appearance of a group of villains with a mysterious agenda! Exciting! This season so far finds Deku and the rest of his class participating in the school sports festival, a series of athletic competitions meant to showcase the students of U.A. to the world at large. However, this season is looking to be 2 cour rather than 1, so we'll likely go further than that.

Characters


Izuku Midoriya (Daiki Yamashita)
Quirk: One For All
Deku here used to have no powers at all. Zilch, nada. But thanks to a chance encounter with All Might, he's gained the power he needs to start on the road to becoming a hero. However, his body isn't used to the enormous power he holds, and learning to control this power might be harder than he imagined.


All Might (Kenta Miyake)
Quirk: One For All
The top hero in the world with amazing strength and Izuku's biggest role model. He and Izuku meet when All Might saves him from an attacking villain. After an encounter with a villain, his powers have been steadily weakening. Moved by Izuku's heroism, he has decided to pass on the ability One For All onto him.


Katsuki Bakugo (Nobuhiko Okamoto)
Quirk: Explosion
Izuku's classmate and bully, and the front-runner in his class to be accepted into U.A. He was gifted with a pretty powerful quirk, which has given him an inflated ego. He's trying to come to terms with the formerly pathetic Deku becoming an actual peer, and like most things in his life, channels that through rage.


Ochaco Uraraka (Ayane Sakura)
Quirk: Zero Gravity
Izuku's best friend, a kind young girl who can control gravity. She may or may not have a bit of a crush on Deku.


Tenya Iida (Kaito Ishikawa)
Quirk: Engine
Deku's other friend. A hot-blooded young man who is strict about the rules. He's the representative of U.A.'s class 1-A.


Shoto Todoroki (Yūki Kaji)
Quirk: Half-Hot Half-Cold
A classmate of Deku's, who probably has the most powerful quirk in the class. He's a real...cool guy!


Tsuyu Asui (Aoi Yūki)
Quirk: Frog Form
Call her Tsuyu, please. Can do whatever a frog can. I put her here over the rest of the class because she's low-key the best character and I love her.


Tomura Shigaraki (Kōki Uchiyama)
Quirk: Disintegration
The mysterious leader of the League of Villains who has dedicated himself to killing All Might.



My Hero Academia season 2 will be streaming on both Funimation and Crunchyroll, with the latter adding the first season to their catalog shortly before the premiere of S2 on April 1.

All we have to go on for the episode count is a French home video listing, but that's the same kinda source that got us the episode count for Diamond is Unbreakable, so I'm trusting it.

The series is basically officially translated to the current chapter (Current as in when it actually comes out, not your naughty naughty leaks) in Weekly Shonen Jump, but the collected volumes are a bit behind, yeah.

Also yeah, this pacing is fine. It could stand to be a bit faster, but it's hardly glacial.

Yeah, I think it's mostly that the anime is balancing the manga's uniquely quick pace with not wanting to run out of content too fast.

I'm still disappointed that Midnight's outfit is colored white, which ruins the illusion, but I also understand that it's running in a family-oriented timeslot.

Sonny Strait is sick so this week's dubbed episode will have an understudy for Present Mic, which is maybe a problem inherent in this way of doing it.

I feel like maybe there's some ethical issues with Shinso's Quirk that UA should really address.

E: Also I think that may have been the quickest episode we've had so far. We got a lot done.

In the one-shot that would eventually become My Hero Academia, originally titled simply "My Hero," the main character was Jack Midoriya, a hero fan who worked at a support company selling gadgets to heroes. He was still Quirkless and still wanted to become a hero himself.
