Warning. If you have yet to watch the latest episode of My Hero Academia, we’ll be diving into major spoiler territory while also revealing the identity of the hero who was killed thanks to the War Arc.
While civilians caught up in the battle call out for help, a teacher at UA Academy fell fighting against a number of villains that followed the lead of Shigaraki and the League of Villains. While not featured on the small screen, Midnight was one of the fallen heroes who died, with several Class 1-A students, unfortunately, finding her body and having little time to mourn before they need to get back into the task of saving innocent bystanders.

Kohei Horikoshi, the mangaka who has continued the story of My Hero Academia to this day, shared a new sketch of Mina Ashido, aka Alien Queen, as she was the one to discover Midnight’s torn mask and body as the young heroes grapple with the after-effects of the terrible war:
For the rest of season six, the War might be done, but Deku is going to have a rough road ahead of him as the ramifications of said battle are now going to create a major problem for the Shonen heroes. Realizing that his fight is far from over, Midoriya will have to go to some extremes when it comes to holding together Hero Society, as is seen in the latest opening theme for the anime adaptation as Shonen fans have finally seen Dark Deku in animation.
