In a world where superpowers are considered normal, superheroes are commonplace and the streets are excerpts from comic book pages, Izuku Midoriya yearns to be just like his idol and number one hero, All Might. But being born without any powers may put a damper on his dreams.
The protagonist of My Hero Academia is a high school student named Izuku Midoriya. Midoriya is a member of the powerless population in a world where 80% of people are born with unique powers known as "Quirks," yet she still harbours aspirations of becoming a superhero. Midoriya persists despite being routinely harassed by his classmate Katsuki Bakugou, just like a real underdog. As he continues to watch, analyse, and take constant notes on his favourite superheroes, the fanboy in him never gives up. Midoriya meets his superhero hero, All Might, when a villain strikes and he intervenes to save Katsuki. All Might recognises Midoriya's potential and grants him the quirk "One for All," which gives Midoriya temporary access to superhuman power at levels capable of destruction.
Midoriya has the capacity to wield "One For All" after undergoing rigorous training that is only rivalled by Saitama's own programme, but because he is unable to fully control it, he is vulnerable to violent recoil and self-injury to the body part he chooses to channel the power through. He enrols in the famous superhero high school U.A. High with his newly discovered Quirk and under the direction of All Might.
Although it is modelled after American comic book superheroes, the Zero to Hero story undoubtedly appeals to younger audiences, as it should. The story is simple, and it contains all the hallmarks of a Shnen film: fast-paced action, a young protagonist with an intense drive to succeed, and copious amounts of hype. The bouts that occur as the season comes to a close are among the best parts of the programme. There are hardly any boring parts since the tale progresses at a tremendous pace. Even though it occasionally becomes a little too formulaic, the experience is still delightful.
My Hero Academia would undoubtedly appeal to you if you enjoy the shonen anime subgenre in general. The combat scenes, setting, and characters more than hold the audience's attention. Even with such a straightforward idea, the story has complexity that you might not initially anticipate. The fundamental theme of the series is Midoriya's quest to become the Symbol of Peace, coupled with the incorporation of the concepts of cooperation and friendship with the enormous variety of radically different characters.
