My Hero Academia Producer Teases Season 6 in New Interview

My Hero Academia will return this October, making a comeback in a crowded anime season which includes Mob Psycho 100, Mobile Suit: Gundam, Spy x Family, and Bleach. The Shonen series featuring UA Academy’s students might be the biggest in the bunch thanks to the War Arc, the storyline that will take the world by storm in season six. Prior to the battle between the heroes and villains, a producer at Studio Bones is getting fans prepped for the major moments that are set to take place in the Paranormal Liberation War.

Not only will the next phase of My Hero Academia see the likes of Deku, Bakugo, Shoto, Uravity, Froppy, and the other young heroes of Class 1-A teaming up against the massive forces of Shigaraki, several professional heroes will play pivotal roles in attempting to save Hero Society. As Oyabu explains in a recent interview in the publication Animedia, he distinguishes the rabbit hero Mirko and the duplication villain Twice as being two primary figures to keep an eye on. Those who have been following along with the manga know the important role that these two standouts will play, with Yoshihiro taking the opportunity to emphasize the actions performed by the rabbit hero and the tragedy of Twice.

The last time we saw Twice in the anime adaptation, the “My Villain Academia Arc” saw him gain a massive boost for his Quirk, allowing him to create thousands, if not tens of thousands, of duplicates, allowing the League of Villains to overwhelm the Meta Liberation Army and score a major victory. Twice has been something of a cheerleader for the League, definitely not appearing as evil as the likes of Dabi, Shigaraki, and Toga, though this might change in season six.

Oyabu also took the opportunity to state that every episode will have a major “highlight scene” and every character will have their moment in the Paranormal Liberation War, though anime fans should ready themselves as not every hero and villain will make it out of season six alive. 

Which character are you most looking forward to seeing in My Hero Academia’s sixth season? Will you be sad to see the Shonen series coming to an end as the Final Arc continues in the pages of its manga? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of UA Academy.
