My Hero Academia

MY HERO ACADEMIA

Izuku Midoriya is born without a Quirk in a world where superpowers are the norm. His lifelong dream of becoming a hero seems impossible — until a chance encounter with the greatest hero, All Might, sets everything in motion.

Izuku begins his first day at U.A. High School — the top hero academy in Japan. Under the brutal instruction of Shota Aizawa, Class 1-A faces a Quirk Assessment Test that immediately separates the gifted from those who must work harder.

The U.S.J. Incident unfolds as the League of Villains invades the training facility. Izuku and his classmates face real villains for the first time. All Might arrives to battle Nomu — a monster engineered to kill the Symbol of Peace.

The U.A. Sports Festival begins, the most-watched event in hero society. Izuku vows to show the world his power and draws the attention of the flame hero Shoto Todoroki, who challenges him personally.

The Sports Festival tournament reaches its climax. Izuku faces Todoroki and urges him to use his full power — both sides of his dual Quirk. Bakugo wins the championship but refuses to be celebrated after beating a weakened opponent.

Hero Internships begin as students choose agencies. Izuku trains under Gran Torino and struggles to use One For All more freely. Meanwhile, the Hero Killer Stain cuts a bloody path through Hosu City.

Izuku, Iida, and Todoroki confront Stain in Hosu City to save Manual's sidekick — and Iida's brother's attacker. The battle reveals Stain's terrifying Quirk and his warped but captivating ideology about heroism.

The fallout from the Stain incident reverberates across hero society, inadvertently boosting the League of Villains' notoriety. The Final Exams arc begins as the students of Class 1-A face off against their own teachers in combat tests.

Izuku and Bakugo are paired against All Might in the most grueling final exam matchup. The two rivals must fight together for the first time — and Izuku and Bakugo's complex dynamic reaches a new stage.

The Forest Training Camp arc begins as Class 1-A heads to the woods for intensive Quirk training under the Wild Wild Pussycats. The League of Villains launches a coordinated attack on the camp — targeting Bakugo for capture.

The attack on the training camp escalates. Dabi, Toga, and the League's recruits strike across the forest. Izuku breaks his arms using One For All at full power to save classmates, and Bakugo is taken by the League of Villains.

The heroes launch a rescue mission to retrieve Bakugo from the League of Villains' hideout. All Might faces his nemesis All For One in a nationally broadcast battle that shakes Japan — and All Might reaches his limit.

All Might defeats All For One in a devastating final clash — but burns out his last reserves of power in the process. He raises a finger to the watching world and declares Izuku the next symbol, ending his era as a hero.

Following All Might's retirement, a new threat looms as U.A. becomes a boarding school for added security. The License Exam arc begins, testing provisional hero licenses for the students of Class 1-A and 1-B.

Izuku and Todoroki take the Provisional Hero License Exam. Izuku develops a new technique — Shoot Style — using his legs to compensate for his damaged arms. The exam tests not just power but rescue ability and judgment.

Izuku, Iida, and Todoroki visit the injured Overhaul in the hospital — and encounter Eri, a young girl with a heartbreaking Quirk. The Shie Hassaikai arc begins as the heroes investigate the villain Overhaul's Quirk-destroying bullets.

The raid on the Shie Hassaikai begins. Class 1-A students join pro heroes in a strike on Overhaul's underground base. Izuku fights through the complex, encountering Overhaul's deadly Quirk and his lieutenants.

Izuku breaks through the final barrier and confronts Overhaul directly. With Eri clinging to his back and her Rewind Quirk allowing him to push One For All to 100% without self-destruction, he unleashes his full power for the first time.

The Pro Hero arc reveals public opinion turning on heroes through a journalist's expose. Endeavor assumes the mantle of the new Number One hero — and faces the first High-End Nomu in a public battle on live television.

The Joint Training arc begins as Class 1-A and Class 1-B engage in a series of mock battles. Izuku awakens new manifestations of One For All — the abilities of past wielders begin flowing into him, including Blackwhip.

The Joint Training battles conclude. Izuku's connection to the vestige world inside One For All deepens, and a dark revelation unfolds: the first wielder of One For All may be linked to All For One in a way no one anticipated.

The Meta Liberation Army arc begins as the League of Villains faces a massive hostile faction led by Re-Destro. Toga and Twice are pushed to their absolute limits, while Shigaraki undergoes a brutal awakening of his true power.

Shigaraki unlocks his fully awakened Decay Quirk during the Meta Liberation Army battle, destroying an entire city as his power spirals out of control. The League of Villains becomes the Paranormal Liberation Front.

The Paranormal Liberation War arc begins with a massive coordinated hero raid on the PLF's two main strongholds. Mirko invades the lab where Shigaraki is being enhanced, losing her arm but destroying most of the High-Ends.

The Liberation War reaches its catastrophic peak. Shigaraki awakens mid-surgery with a near-complete All For One. Izuku accesses the Quirks of all previous One For All holders in a desperate fight against an unstoppable enemy.

The war ends in devastating losses. Heroes are hospitalized across the country. Villain attacks spread. Izuku, reading a letter from All For One written to Shigaraki, leaves U.A. alone to act as bait — and protect those he loves.

Izuku operates alone as a vigilante, taking on villains and resisting All For One's hunt across Japan. Worn down, injured, and emotionally broken, he refuses help until his classmates from Class 1-A find him and bring him back.

The Star and Stripe arc sees America's Number One hero enter Japan to help against Shigaraki. Her titanic battle against All For One is both inspiring and heartbreaking — ending in a sacrifice that shakes the entire world.

The final war arc begins. U.A. launches its last stand strategy: Izuku and his allies split into teams to take on All For One, Shigaraki, and the Nomu army simultaneously across multiple battlefields.

The battles of the Final War rage across Japan. Izuku faces Shigaraki — who is increasingly losing himself to All For One — while All Might is drawn into danger in a fight he physically cannot win anymore.

The Final War continues with massive casualties on both sides. Bakugo enters a near-death experience during his fight against Shigaraki, and the bonds between Class 1-A are pushed to their absolute breaking point.

Bakugo is revived through a miracle tied to his Quirk's evolution. Izuku and Shigaraki's battle becomes a struggle for Tomura's soul — as Izuku refuses to give up on the child Shigaraki once was.

The final confrontation between Izuku and Shigaraki reaches its emotional climax. The vestiges of One For All lend their strength for a last stand. The fate of hero society hangs on a single, defining moment.

The aftermath of the Final War. Heroes and civilians alike begin rebuilding what was shattered. Izuku reflects on the journey that brought him here — and what it truly means to be the greatest hero.

Epilogue and final chapters: Izuku, now working alongside recovered friends and new allies, takes his first steps as a fully fledged pro hero. The dream he has chased since childhood has become reality.

Post-war recovery continues as the hero society restructures in the aftermath of All For One's defeat. Endeavor's family begins its long road to healing, and the next generation of heroes prepares to carry the torch.

The joys and hardships of new hero life begin for Izuku and his classmates. Bonds forged through fire and loss prove unbreakable as Class 1-A embarks on life beyond U.A.'s walls.

New challenges emerge as the world without the Symbol of Peace finds its footing. Izuku takes on cases alongside seasoned pros, learning what heroism looks like without All Might's shadow — and discovering his own answer.

Izuku faces a villain case that tests his convictions about saving people who reject help. The value of understanding versus judgment — a theme at the heart of his heroism — is explored through action and consequence.

As society slowly heals, the scars left by the war resurface in unexpected ways. Former villains and heroes must find common ground in a world where fear and hope fight for the same space.

Izuku's growth as a hero is tested in increasingly complex situations that require wisdom over raw power. The responsibilities of carrying One For All come into sharp focus as he steps fully into the role All Might chose him for.

The final volume brings Izuku Midoriya's story full circle. From a boy who wept at being told he could never be a hero, to the man standing at the top — his journey is a testament to what it means to never give up.
