While waiting for the return of the flagship anime scheduled for this fall, we invite you to test your knowledge of the characters and their aliases! So who is who? It’s your turn !
My Hero Academia takes us into a world where 80% of human beings have a power called “alter”. However, some unlucky people are born without any special abilities. A complicated state of affairs to assume if you are weak and whiny. And even more so if, despite all that, you have the ambition to become a great superhero. This is the case of Izuku Midoriya, a 14-year-old schoolboy, marginal and without alter. And while he dreams of joining Yuei, an academy intended to train the heroic elite of the country, he meets All Might, symbol of peace, who chooses him to become his successor.
Still being published and already cult, My Hero Academia is one of his works that have left a lasting mark on pop culture! Its some 60 million copies sold and its animated series currently renewed for a sixth season, fuel the success of this unique and intergenerational shônen.
With a return of the series scheduled for October 2022, it’s a good time to refresh your memory on the famous second-A students of Yuei! Can you find the code names of these apprentices of today, but heroes of tomorrow? Test your knowledge beyond the limits: PLUS ULTRA!
By the way, did you know that most of these characters created by Kohei Horikoshi are inspired by iconic figures from Marvel and DC Comics? As an undisputed fan of pop culture, the author has drawn a few elements from these universes to bring his own heroes to life! For example: the mask of the young psychopath Himiko Toga is very similar to that of a villain from the Batman saga: Bane.
