This phenomenon is precisely due to the fact that the franchise has an ever-increasing popularity, I found it necessary to shape this article in which review everything you need to know exactly what “My Hero Academia” is about.

What is the story of My Hero Academia?

• The plot of My Hero Academia is actually divided into two clear narratives: the story of Izuku ‘Deku’ Midoriya in which he becomes a hero, and the story of One For All, the gift created for the sole purpose of ending All For One.
• My Hero Academia thus represents a war between good and evilthe heroes and villains of a world of superheroes, spanning decades and culminating in Izuku Midoriya as the heir of One For All and with Tomura Shigaraki as the heir, for his part, of the legacy of All For One.

• All could he is also a key figure in all events of My Hero Academia. As the former bearer of One For All, All Might becomes teacher and kind of father figure of Izuku Midoriyawho in turn idolizes him for his days as a hero which earned him the title “Symbol of Justice”.
• The My Hero Academia universe is also made up of dozens of additional heroes and villains, including spotlights heroes from UA Academy and villains from The League of Villains. Other organizations like hero academies and villain institutions appear and come into play as the story progresses.

Who are the main characters in My Hero Academia?

• Izuku Midoriya: This teenager, nicknamed Deku by his friend and rival Bakugo as a mockery since he assures that he is incapable of doing anything by himself, is the great protagonist of My Hero Academia. He will go from being one of the rare cases where he was born without a Gift to inheriting the One For All, the most powerful of all the Gifts with which he must definitively end the threat of the All For One.
• All could: Real name Toshinori Yagi, All Might is one of the heirs of One For All, and in turn the one who got the most out of the Gift. He’s pretty much the only one so far who’s been able to directly stand up to All For One and enforce a time of peace and quiet for years that evil can never respond to.

• All for one: This name belongs not only to the Don who represents the maximum exponent of evil, but also to the villain himself who bears it. All For One is about someone who lived for decades and battled the multiple wielders of One For All, forcing his various heirs into constant battles of life and death.
• Katsuki Bakugo: Deku’s childhood best friend, who despite everything has always treated the protagonist with great contempt. Bakugo is someone with a capricious character who has a Gift that suits him like a glove: the one that allows him to create explosions of all kinds and categories. Although he doesn’t seem to have the character of a hero, his heart is much more upright than he lets on.

• Tomura Shigaraki: Shigaraki is chosen by All For One as his successor on the evil side. This villain had a childhood that changed his mind forever, and he has a Quirk that accurately reflects his mindset. Shigaraki’s superpower is one that allows him to corrupt anything he touches; What does that mean? Well, with the mere touch of his hands he is able to cause everything to rot and crumble, whether the recipient of the touch is inanimate material or a living person.
• Shoto Todoroki: Shoto Todoroki is the son of Endeavour, the hero who followed for many years (unsuccessfully) the wake of All Might in order to try to become the number 1 hero. His father’s ambitions had a strong impact on Shoto’s family life, which he has to deal with bit by bit over time. His Quirk, the one that allows him to create both ice and flame, is the living embodiment of his father’s “experiments”.
