Synopsis

Continues the story of My Hero Academia Season 4

Following the completion of his Provisional Hero License exam, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya begins seeking an extracurricular internship at a professional hero agency. Under the guidance of his mentor All Might, he obtains a position with Sir Nighteye, All Might's former partner who has established his own significant reputation. As Deku's classmates refine their abilities through various internships, the emerging criminal Kai Chisaki, known as Overhaul, leverages his powerful Quirk to accumulate influence within the underworld. His activities place him in direct conflict with the League of Villains, which is led by Tomura Shigaraki. During his internship under Sir Nighteye, Deku exposes Overhaul's criminal organization and discovers the villain's perilous connection to a young girl named Eri. Worried about Eri's safety, Deku joins forces with his senior, Mirio Togata, to dismantle Overhaul's oppressive rule.

In this installment

Following a string of villain attacks in the prior academic year, Class 1-A of UA Academy has garnered significant public attention. This spotlight ignites envy within their rivals, Class 1-B, who are keen to showcase their own prowess through a series of mock battles between the two classes. The competition splits each class into teams of four, with the objective of capturing all members of the opposing squad; the first team to achieve total capture claims victory. However, the event takes an unexpected twist with the addition of General Course student Hitoshi Shinsou, who seeks to transfer into the Hero Course. Although Shinsou has been training under Class 1-A's homeroom teacher, Shouta "Eraserhead" Aizawa, to demonstrate his potential as a true hero, his relative inexperience places him at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, he remains resolute in his determination to succeed. The stage is now set for an intense rivalry as Class 1-A and Class 1-B clash to prove their supremacy.
