My Hero Academia: Deku’s Final Fight With Shigaraki Comes to Life in New Short

My Hero Academia’s sixth season was one of the biggest events in the anime world for 2022, as the War Arc pushed Deku and his friends to their limit in an effort to take down Shigaraki and his legions of villains. While the heroes of Hero Society are set to pick up the pieces, the Final Arc in the manga has presented them with an even bigger challenge and one fan animator has tried their hand at animating one of the storyline’s biggest battles.

The latest episode of My Hero Academia’s sixth anime season gave the heroes of UA Academy a major win against the Paranormal Liberation Front, defeating Shigaraki and the League of Villains as they tore a swath of destruction through Hero Society. While Deku and his friends have won, they can hardly celebrate the victory as numerous heroes have been hospitalized due to the injuries they received and there are more casualties than anyone can count at present. When the anime does return next month, expect the ramifications of this war to have long-lasting implications on Hero Society’s future, and Izuku Midoriya will have some extremely difficult decisions to make when it comes to protecting his friends in Class 1-A.

The remainder of season six won’t just focus on Hero Society picking up the pieces following the conclusion of the War Arc, but it will give us a very different Deku as a result of needing to take steps he deems appropriate to save his friends. With the Final Arc underway in the manga, it will be interesting to see how many more seasons and movies Studio BONES has planned for Deku and company to wrap up the hard-hitting series once and for all.
