My Hero Academia#Video games

My Hero Academia is set in a world where about 80% of the human population has gained superpowers called {{nihongo4|"Quirks"|個性|Kosei}}. Quirks vary widely and can be inherited. Among the Quirk-enhanced individuals, a few of them earn the title of Heroes, who cooperate with authorities in rescue operations and apprehending criminals who abuse their Quirks, commonly known as Villains. In addition, Heroes who excel on their duties gain celebrity status and are recognized as {{nihongo4|"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 {{nihongo4|"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 {{nihongo|Hero Public Safety Commission|ヒーロー公安委員会|Hīrō Kōan Iinkai}}. While the act of vigilantism is inherently illegal, the vigilantes themselves represent a gray 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 of internships that 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 real sidekicks, 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.

Izuku "Deku" Midoriya is a teenage boy who dreams of becoming a Hero, despite being bullied by his childhood friend Katsuki "Kacchan" Bakugo for 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-nemesis All 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 saving Ochaco Uraraka. Midoriya, Bakugo, and Uraraka are among the twenty students placed in Class 1-A. During one of their classes, Class 1-A encounters the League of Villains, led by All For One's apprentice Tomura Shigaraki.

Midoriya and his classmates Shoto Todoroki and Tenya Ida defeat the villain Stain, who believes most heroes only desire fame. Stain's ideology spreads, and many of his believers join the League of Villains, including Dabi and Himiko Toga. The League of Villains' recruits ambush Classes 1-A and 1-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 sidekick Sir Nighteye. After Sir Nighteye is killed during a raid on the Shie Hassaikai yakuza group, Midoriya continues his internship under Todoroki's estranged father Endeavor, who assumed All Might's position as Japan's top hero following his retirement. Midoriya later awakens all of the Quirks initially used by the previous users of One For All.

The League of Villains defeats and merges with another villain group, the Meta 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 classmate Yuga Aoyama reveals 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 a powered 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 is a hero course teacher at U.A., while his former classmates work as pro heroes. All Might gives Midoriya a powered suit of his own, funded by his former classmates, which he uses to return to hero work while continuing to teach at U.A.

Horikoshi stated that after his previous series Barrage was canceled after just two volumes, he was sad and out of ideas.{{cite web|script-title=ja:「ヒーローのかっこよさは、戦闘じゃなくて人を救うこと」 『僕のヒーローアカデミア』堀越耕平インタビュー|url=https://ddnavi.com/news/226937/a/|website=Da Vinci News|date=February 20, 2015|access-date=April 5, 2021|language=ja|archive-date=December 5, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201205093352/https://ddnavi.com/news/226937/a/|url-status=live}} In order to get more ideas, he revisited a one-shot he previously published in Akamaru Jump, titled {{Nihongo|My Hero|僕のヒーロー|Boku no Hīrō}}.

Hitoshi Koike, the editor of My 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. Koike also noted My 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.

Kengo Monji, the second editor of the manga, said Horikoshi had a difficult time writing chapters at first. Monji felt that mixing the flair of Japan's Shōnen manga with "heroes", a concept that he felt was understandable to a wide audience. Monji also complimented Horikoshi's artwork, noting its cartoon-style.

Horikoshi originally stated that My Hero Academia would not be as long as One Piece since he felt he did not have enough stamina; instead preferring to keep it concise in comparison to other {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} manga series. 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.{{cite web|last=Mateo|first=Alex|title=Kōhei Horikoshi Confirms My Hero Academia Manga Still Heading Toward His Planned Ending|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-04-30/kohei-horikoshi-confirms-my-hero-academia-manga-still-heading-toward-his-planned-ending/.172271|website=Anime News Network|date=April 30, 2021|access-date=May 1, 2021|archive-date=January 11, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220111022510/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-04-30/kohei-horikoshi-confirms-my-hero-academia-manga-still-heading-toward-his-planned-ending/.172271|url-status=live}} In December 2021, he stated during the interview at Jump Festa '22 that "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 that Katsuki Bakugo would soon get a "big scene".{{cite web|last=Hodgkins|first=Crystalyn|title=Kohei Horikoshi: 'If Things Go Smoothly My Hero Academia Will Meet Its Goal in 1 Year'|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-12-19/kohei-horikoshi-if-things-go-smoothly-my-hero-academia-will-meet-its-goal-in-1-year/.180767|website=Anime News Network|date=December 19, 2021|access-date=December 20, 2021|archive-date=January 29, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220129040626/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-12-19/kohei-horikoshi-if-things-go-smoothly-my-hero-academia-will-meet-its-goal-in-1-year/.180767|url-status=live}} 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.

In December 2022, although Horikoshi stated that his estimations were wrong, he said that the ending of the manga is "very close".{{cite web|last=Madillo|first=A.R.|title=My Hero Academia Manga's Ending Is 'Very Close', Horikoshi Says At Jump Festa 2023|url=https://animehunch.com/my-hero-academia-mangas-ending-is-very-close-horikoshi-says-at-jump-festa-2023/|website=Animehunch|date=December 17, 2022|access-date=March 31, 2024|archive-date=January 27, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230127070515/https://animehunch.com/my-hero-academia-mangas-ending-is-very-close-horikoshi-says-at-jump-festa-2023/|url-status=live}} 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."{{cite web|last=Madillo|first=A.R.|title=Will Do Dogeza On Stage If MHA Continues Till Next Jump Festa, Says Kohei Horikoshi|url=https://animehunch.com/will-do-dogeza-on-stage-if-mha-continues-till-next-jump-festa-says-kohei-horikoshi/|website=Animehunch|date=December 16, 2023|access-date=March 31, 2024|archive-date=March 31, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240331111506/https://animehunch.com/will-do-dogeza-on-stage-if-mha-continues-till-next-jump-festa-says-kohei-horikoshi/|url-status=live}} In June 2024, Shueisha announced in the year's 27th issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump that the manga entered its "epilogue" with the 424th chapter. Horikoshi stated in his comment that although the conclusion of a story is usually short, it is not the kind of manga to end immediately after defeating the villain, and so it will go on "a little longer," and he added that the manga would "return to its title."{{cite web|last=Hodgkins|first=Crystalyn|title=My Hero Academia Enters 'Epilogue;' Author States Manga Will Continue for 'A While' as it 'Returns to its Title' (Updated)|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-06-03/my-hero-academia-enters-epilogue-author-states-manga-will-continue-for-a-while-as-it-returns-to-its-/.211432|website=Anime News Network|date=June 3, 2024|access-date=June 7, 2024|archive-date=June 7, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240607010422/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-06-03/my-hero-academia-enters-epilogue-author-states-manga-will-continue-for-a-while-as-it-returns-to-its-/.211432|url-status=live}} 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 draw Deku and the others for the past ten years.

My Hero Academia producer Wakana Okamura, who previously worked with Bones on Blood 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 designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, were fans of the manga.{{cite web|last=Chapman|first=Jacob|title=Interview: The Cast and Crew of My Hero Academia|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-07-27/interview-the-cast-and-crew-of-my-hero-academia/.104588|website=Anime News Network|date=July 27, 2016|access-date=April 21, 2023|archive-date=December 25, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221225053150/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-07-27/interview-the-cast-and-crew-of-my-hero-academia/.104588|url-status=live}} Director Kenji Nagasaki said Bones wanted to "make [the series] with a strong core and backbones".

For the casting, the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine was first announced that the anime starring Daiki Yamashita as Izuku Midoriya, Kenta Miyake as All Might, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Katsuki Bakugō, Ayane Sakura as Ochako Uraraka, Kaito Ishikawa as Tenya Iida, Aoi Yūki as Tsuyu Asui, Ryō Hirohashi as Minoru Mineta, Marina Inoue as Momo Yaoyorozu, and Yoshimasa Hosoya as Fumikage Tokoyami.{{cite web|last=Blyden|first=Jabulani|title=Marina Inoue, Yoshimasa Hosoya Join My Hero Academia Anime's Cast|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-01-28/marina-inoue-yoshimasa-hosoya-join-my-hero-academia-anime-cast/.98062|website=Anime News Network|date=January 28, 2016|access-date=February 1, 2020|archive-date=February 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200201202048/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-01-28/marina-inoue-yoshimasa-hosoya-join-my-hero-academia-anime-cast/.98062|url-status=live}} In February 2016, Tasuku Hatanaka, Toshiki Masuda and Yuki Kaji joined the cast as Denki Kaminari, Eijirō Kirishima and Shōto Todoroki respectively.{{cite web|last=Pineda|first=Rafael Antonio|title=My Hero Academia Anime Casts Yuuki Kaji as Shōto Todoroki|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-02-10/my-hero-academia-anime-casts-yuuki-kaji-as-shoto-todoroki/.98527|website=Anime News Network|date=February 10, 2016|access-date=October 31, 2023|archive-date=September 29, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929161647/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-02-10/my-hero-academia-anime-casts-yuuki-kaji-as-shoto-todoroki/.98527|url-status=live}} In an interview with Justin Briner and Christopher Sabat, they expressed interest about the broadcast dub in Funimation. 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.

During the production for the anime's second 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.{{cite web|last=Chapman|first=Jacob|title=Interview: My Hero Academia's Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Chris Sabat|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-08-07/interview-my-hero-academia-yoshihiko-umakoshi-and-chris-sabat/.119811|website=Anime News Network|date=August 7, 2017|access-date=October 31, 2023|archive-date=June 24, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230624111900/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-08-07/interview-my-hero-academia-yoshihiko-umakoshi-and-chris-sabat/.119811|url-status=live}}

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 other Shonen Jump adaptation titles such as Naruto and One Piece where the staff worked throughout the year, Umakoshi said the production cycle of My Hero Academia is 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."

Horikoshi has stated that the main theme he focuses on is "what makes a hero".{{cite web|script-title=ja:堀越耕平インタビュー|url=https://natalie.mu/comic/pp/heroaca|website=Comic Natalie|publisher=Natasha, Inc|date=July 4, 2018|access-date=April 5, 2021|language=ja|archive-date=November 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201117103535/https://natalie.mu/comic/pp/heroaca|url-status=live}} 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 like Fat Gum, in order to keep the mood up.

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.{{cite web|title=Kōhei Horikoshi: The Mastermind Behind the Phenomenal Success of My Hero Academia|url=https://mangaka.info/kohei-horikoshi/|website=Mangaka.info|access-date=February 29, 2024|archive-date=September 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230930100129/https://mangaka.info/kohei-horikoshi/|url-status=dead}} That vision results in heroes in the series not being egotistical, but passionate and dedicated individuals with clear goals to work towards.{{cite web|last=Creamer|first=Nick|title=The Heroic Spirit of My Hero Academia|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-05-20/the-heroic-spirit-of-my-hero-academia/.101961|website=Anime News Network|date=May 20, 2016|access-date=April 21, 2023|archive-date=November 14, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201114235556/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-05-20/the-heroic-spirit-of-my-hero-academia/.101961|url-status=live}} 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.

My Hero Academia has 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 the Silver Age of Comic Books lead to post-Watchmen ambiguity. He also noted that, even in Japan, unquestioned heroism is often challenged in modern revisions of older series, such as in Yatterman and Gatchaman.

In the aftermath of the manga's removal from its services in China, the English-language news service Abacus reached out to bilibili and Tencent for 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. The character's name was changed again by the digital version of Weekly Shōnen Jump following 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 to war crimes within the character's name was wholly unintentional.{{cite web|last=Loveridge|first=Lynzee|title=My Hero Academia Manga Updated With Villain's New Name|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-02-10/my-hero-academia-manga-updated-with-villain-new-name/.156305|website=Anime News Network|date=February 10, 2020|access-date=February 11, 2020|quote=The character's real name was changed to Kyudai Garaki in the update.
