With the fifth season of My Hero Academia hitting the air in just four weeks, there’s a lot for fans in Japan to celebrate according to a special web site and social media posts.
My Hero Academia was first broadcast on April 3rd, 2016 and has spanned five seasons with two movies, with a third coming later this summer. The anime is an adaptation of the manga by Kohei Horikoshi.
A post on Twitter links to the series’ official web site and includes special image by artist Hitomi Odashima who works on the show. Tenya Iida, Ochako Ururaka, Izuku Midoria, Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki stand with raised hands displaying all five fingers (a nod to the anniversary) in front of pro-hero All Might.
Viewers will also get to vote for their favourite battle from the previous four seasons as part of the celebrations in the “TV Anime Best Bout” using a special hashtag on social media (#ヒロアカアニメベストバウト) . Once the voting is over on Sunday, March 14th, 2021, a video of the top five battles picked by fans will be released.
The fifth season of My Hero Academia will broadcast every Saturday starting on March 27th, 2021 at 5:30 pm JST (that’s 12:30 am PST/3:30 am EST on Friday) on Yomiuri TV and NTV in Japan. Both Funimation and Crunchyroll are expected to stream these new episodes on their platforms.
