Manga readers don't spoil what this new key visual for
My Hero Academia season 3 reveals to those who are anime-only watchers and want to go in blind. Apparently, the image below confirms a key plot point of the School Trip arc that has manga readers quite excited.
In an examination of the poster, it sure seems as if Tomura Shigaraki has gathered a rather intriguing group of villains to fill out the ranks of the League of Villains. Will Deku and the rest of his U.A. High School freshmen be up to the task of taking them down?
The third season is scheduled to kick off this April. The franchise's first film is also confirmed for release later in 2018.
