Under Endeavor’s tutelage, Bakugo and Todoroki continue their internship while Deku works to master Blackwhip, his Quirk’s new ability.

Gabimaru reigns as the strongest and most ruthless assassin in his village. But now finds himself on death row—with only one way out: retrieve the Elixir of Life from a sinister island. Longing for freedom, he accepts the challenge. But with fellow convicts vying for the same prize and demonic beasts lurking, how will Gabimaru survive this harrowing quest?
Hell's Paradise, an anime adaptation of the Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuji Kaku, aired from April to July 2023 and was met with a warm reception.
