My Hero Academia started as a strong and unique series, but as it has gone on it has only gotten better.
At the end of Season 5 we discovered that Hawks was undercover with the Paranormal Liberation Front trying to gather information from our heroes. What he discovered, a battle was coming and soon. Bring on Season 6 Part 1.
Season 6 Part 1 doesn’t take long to start building up. We quickly spend some time with Hawks as he preps the heroes for the upcoming battle. Then we are knee deep in the battle. Here we are introduced to the doctor responsible for Nomu’s, who is making our old Shigaraki much stronger. A battle takes place at the hospital and all chaos breaks loose.
This part of the series is absolutely chaos.
As part of the assault we have a few different battles. There are a bunch of heroes fighting smaller fights, but then we get Gigantomachia who has awakened. He is running quite a distance towards the major battle so we have a bunch odd heroes who are trying to slow him down. This makes each episode so much more tense with the knowledge that if the heroes fail, the main battle is going to get so much more worse.
I won’t spoil the story more here, but I will say that it’s much better than I expected. We see the biggest bad in All For One, and even bigger we get a shocking twist in regards to one of our villains. Added to this are slices of backstory for a few characters which add depth, but don’t waste time making their points. A bunch of our heroes achieve milestones, and the season ends on an insane point that has me chomping at the bit for Part 2.
The Bluray also comes with a couple of OVA’s.
These tell a two part mini story where Class 1-A do a training test where they need to enter a building and save the fake civilians. The building has some unexpected collapses and so they need to work together to get out of it. After the seriousness of the main series, this was a nice fun little story to enjoy.
My Hero Academia – Season 6 Part 1 is a cracking season of MHA.
The show keeps going from strength to strength, and I cannot wait for Part 2. Pick it up and watch it now. Seriously, it’s so damn good.
