My Hero Academia has come a long way since Season 1.
The chirpy chill style has grown into a much darker place with much more serious content. Well after the insane chaos of the battle in Season 6 Part 1, instead of a break it gets even more intense in Part 2.
Season 6 Part 2 starts off with a quick recap of the situation. After capturing Gigantomachia the heroes don’t have the energy to celebrate. Instead the ones standing are left mourning the loss of some of their friends. This scene is dark as hell and prepares you for what is to come.
After the sheer destruction and lives lost in the battle, the population has started turning on the heroes. This includes protesting outside the hospital as a bunch of the UA students and heroes like Endeavour are trying to recover from the brink of death. Knowing the situation is favourable for the villains, they jump on the chaos to break into the prison that contains all the captured villains. This is a prison that is mostly under the sea with all for one’s body right at the bottom. They are successful and so a lot of strong villains are unleashed again.
This part of the series touches on a whole lot of different things. We see heroes retiring from the negativity caused by the public’s distrust. We see some dark histories of heroes, and we see some good histories of villains. The whole series has become gray, well gray with the exception of two. All for one is a consistently bad baddie, and no matter what happens Deku is pure and wants to do everything for good.
I really don’t want to spoil it more than this, but my god. Since its inception MHA has gone from strength to strength and has continued to strengthen in the stories, depth, and themes. Added to this is the usual exceptional animation and voice acting and my god. Season 6 Part 2 is the best MHA I have seen yet. I can’t wait for Season 7 to see how this storyline concludes!
This DVD / Bluray package includes two OVA’s.
The best of these is a silly baseball game which is overpowered thanks to their quirks. It’s over the top, and funny. Most importantly after such an intense season, these OVA’s are a nice palette cleanser.
The Limited Edition box is fantastic.
It comes with the usual hardcover box to store both halves of the season, which I always love. Then inside is a nice softcover art box with some interviews, a sticker sheet, two awesome foil art cards, and an acrylic standee. The shiny art cards have Deku and Shigaraki and look dope as hell, and the standee has a bunch of heroes with Endeavour standing at the front. It’s a very cool Limited Edition!
My Hero Academia – Season 6 is the strongest yet, and while Part 2 doesn’t wrap up this storyline, it’s an incredible watch. The bonuses in the Limited Edition makes this a fantastic addition to your shelf!
