    My Hero Academia Season 4 Trailer

    -- Spoilers Ahead! --


    As with most new seasons, the episode began with a quick introduction to the BokuAca universe—quirks and such—by Deku and a very quick recap of where Season 3 left off. Class 1-A got provisional licences—except Todoroki as he technically broke the rules—and the top 3 spoke to them about hero internships after Mirio thoroughly kicked all their butts. All Might is out of commission after facing All for One—who was arrested—and both the League of Villains and the Heroes are without a leader.

    After the brief intro, Deku is set on taking advantage of the hero work-study program so he decides to visit All Might to get a referral for his internship as he knows he will grow much stronger if he does so. But All Might isn’t necessarily on board considering it will hurt Deku’s studies—and he’s clearly worried about him in general in a fatherly way.

    The story then shifts over to the League of Villains’ lair where the leaderless motley crew is suddenly joined by Twice and a guest he’s just brought in to speak to Shigaraki. Their guest, Overhaul—who looks like a Yakuza boss—makes an offer to team up as he thinks he knows how to finally take down the heroes since neither side has a leader and the Greatest Hero is out of the picture. Of course, Shigaraki doesn’t think he needs assistance nor to team up with anyone. And that’s when things get dicey, much to Twice’s surprise who thought this would be a peaceful meeting of evil minds—because that’s what bad guys do, right? Talk peacefully? Of course not. Without spoiling anything, things get surprisingly violent and extreme really, really fast. A quick but intense battle ensues and, afterward, the League of Villains is left in even more disarray than before, though the new bad guy’s team didn’t leave unscathed. To say Shigaraki is pissed off is an understatement and this new guy looks like BIG trouble.

    Meanwhile, Deku continues to beg his mentor for an introduction with Sir Nighteye so he can intern with him since, as All Might’s old partner, Sir Nighteye is familiar with Deku’s powers. After much discussion, All Might finally agrees to help Deku out, but he refuses to personally call Sir Nighteye on the phone for some reason. Instead, he tells Deku he will have Sir Nighteye’s current sidekick/intern introduce them.

    When the mystery senpai shows up at All Might’s office, it’s none other than Mirio! Yes, the same dorky, super genki Mirio that pummelled class 1-A when the Top 3 talked to them about the work-study program. He’s—of course—super excited to introduce Deku to Sir Nighteye because, well… he’s Mirio and he’s excited about everything all the time, but also because he could see potential in Deku when they fought and he thinks he’d be a good fit in Sir Nigtheye’s team.

    On their way to see Sir Nighteye, Deku asks his senpai what would give him an edge when meeting his potential new mentor to which Mirio replies, “make him laugh”. “What?” is basically Deku’s reaction and he thinks hard about how to complete the seemingly simple task. Deku gets even more nervous when the two students show up at Sir Nighteye’s office and he has one of his students tied up while he tickles her silly for failing to make him laugh. *gulp* It looks like fighting ability alone won’t be enough to secure this position!

    After being introduced, Deku decides to try his best at making Sir Nighteye laugh and fails miserably, worrying Mirio. But then, Deku notices something about Sir Nighteye’s office and decides to use that knowledge to impress All Might’s old partner and goes all out, as he always does, to become part of Sir Nighteye’s agency and become the strong, full-fledged hero he’s been aiming to be since childhood—especially after finding out that there were other students in the running to inherit All Might’s power. The pressure is on!

    We won’t go any further so as to avoid spoiling any of the hilarious, surprising, and exciting moments we think are best enjoyed first-hand so that’s as far as we’ll go here.

    An otaku as far as I can remember. I grew up playing video games, watching anime in Spanish in Mexico where I grew up, and then was a member of both anime clubs at UTEP for my entire university life when I moved to Texas. I love going to cons, I used to cosplay (always hoping to get back into it), and I got to live in Japan for 2 years and be an otaku there! It was literally a dream come true! Now back in the US, I love being a writer and editor for Honey’s. It’s a great chance to keep up with all the latest anime each season and up to date with all otaku news. And without our readers, that wouldn’t be possible so, thank you for being a part of our hive!!
