My Hero Academia has become one of Japan's biggest franchises since Naruto, and its worldwide appeal has preemptively put it into a category shared by some of the best Shonen anime ever. Aside from the manga that started it all, the franchise has grown to have two movies, 4 seasons of an anime, merchandise, and two video games!
Since season 4, there has been very little news on what is coming for the show, aside from early confirmation that the fifth season will be releasing next Spring. However, with at least three Twitter accounts covering various facets of the franchise, the three have recently come together to tease the future of the series.
While it hasn't been announced whether or not this tease is for a new film or the anime, the manga, film, and anime Twitters have released fragments of a sentence that come together to form a sentence, "He will meet the three musketeers." The photo features Deku, Bakugo, and a third character wearing all black gear and the number three hovering over them. There is no confirmation on what it could mean, but it seems like a tease to the third film, which has not been announced yet.
There is a lot of mystery surrounding this tease, and a link that takes readers to the official site of the manga leads to more questions rather than answers. We would love to hear your thoughts and theories of the image in the comments below!
Izuku Midoriya dreams of becoming a Hero despite being bullied by his violent childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo for lacking a Quirk. Both youths idolize one of the world's greatest heroes All Might, who they both met with Izuku being one of few to know of an critical injury All Might has been concealing from the public eye to maintain morale. All Might also reveals the nature of his Quirk "One For All" and passes it down to Izuku to succeed him after seeing the youth's determination in the face of danger.
My Hero Academia season 5 will premiere in Spring 2021!
