The English Dub for My Hero Academia has had some trouble as a result of the pandemic, with the original Japanese version having already completed the fourth season weeks ago. With several installments left in the fourth season for the creative minds and voice actors behind the English version to go, we’re crossing our fingers that we are able to see these released for those following along via this version. Gentle Criminal and La Brava, the recent villains of the fourth season, may not be as terrifying in the face of antagonists such as Overhaul and All For One, but it’s clear that they are added some much needed levity to the season that has been a deadly serious one so far.
Funimation shared the news that the next English Dub episode of My Hero Academia, episode 85, would be released on Sunday, April 26th, to fans that have been following along with the Cultural Festival Arc that has featured the hilarious villains of Gentle Criminal and La Brava as they stand toe to toe with Midoriya:
