My Hero Academia Releases First Look at New Baseball OVA

By Megan Peters

My Hero Academia will not bring out its new season until the fall, but the series has the perfect plant to keep fans engaged until then. After all, the team at Bones Inc. has been working on some new OVAs to tide netizens over. And now, we have been given a first look at the anime's upcoming baseball special.

The stills came courtesy of the official My Hero Academia website, and they made their way around social media fast. You can check the images out for yourself below before warming up for whatever this sports-centric special throws our way.

As you can tell, two of the stills show off the characters preparing to play ball. The hero-student players are split into teams as Fatgum and Amajiki cover the yellow squad. They are joined by others like Kirishima, Satou, Ojiro, and more. And for the blue squad, Gang Orca is leading the team with Mount Lady plus Kaminari, Jirou, Mineta, Kamui Woods, and more.

The other stills shared focus on specific match-ups during the baseball competition. It seems Hound Dog and Gang Orca get into a spat at some point during their match. The other moves towards the outfield, and it shows Kaminari setting up some sort of distraction for Juota Shishida from Class 1-B.

This special OVA is set to go live in Japan shortly, and My Hero Academia fans in the United States will get to see it in July if they attend Anime Expo. Crunchyroll will screen the special for attendees live before adding the OVA to its catalog at some unknown date.
