But after her quirk to be labeled as not a threat for now, she, Mirio, and Midoriya were finally reunited and had the cutest conversation imaginable.
When Mirio and Midoriya meet with Eri in her hostpital room, after she requests to meet with them, she reveals Midoriya never told her his name. After doing so, she says she’s been feeling guilty over their getting hurt (and they haven’t told her about Nighteye’s death) but Mirio tells her not to worry and to smile.
She cries a bit and says she doesn’t know how to smile and Midoriya realizes that she’s still in the psychological grasp of her father Chisaki. Wanting to help save her somehow, Midoriya asks Aizawa if she can come to their culture festival now that her quirk erasing power has subsided for now.
Mirio finally convinces her to come by saying there might be candy apples (as apples are her favorite fruit) that would be even sweeter than apples. She finally agrees, and it’s the cutest exchange ever.
Unfortunately, right after this, Chapter 170 continues on to reveal the newest villain of the series, Gentle.
If you are eagerly waiting for season 3 of the series, it recently revealed a new trailer teasing the season as well as an image teasing the season during its official announcement. Then, of course, is the currently running manga series that has just wrapped the arc beyond this, the “Internship” arc. If that’s not enough, why not lookup Horikoshi’s original one-shot Barrage?
Along with season 3 of the anime series, a film adaptation will also open in 2018. The film will cover a story not seen in the original manga with series creator Horikoshi noting that, “Of course the movie will be filled with Class A’s great efforts, that character’s past that hasn’t been in the manga yet, flashy action scenes, and much more.” The film also revealed its first key visualdepicting a character fans have never seen before.
For those unfamiliar with My Hero Academia, the series was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers but he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he’s eventually scouted by the world’s best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
