As for what’s up this time? Well, if the latest chapter says anything, the spark will be a war.
Recently, My Hero Academia put out a new chapter, and it was there fans met a special novel. Readers saw a newcomer reference an autobiographical book titled the Meta Liberation War, and it bodes poorly for Pro Heroes.
For those who need a breakdown of the book, it was written by an infamous villain known as Destro. The baddie wrote the manifesto while he was in prison, and it exposes his strong feelings against the government’s control over quirks. Not long after the book was finished, Destro killed himself, but its influence lives on.
As it turns out, the leader of a powerful company in Japan is subscribing to all things Meta Liberation War. The unnamed baddie spends his days leading Deternat, but his evenings are spent with a mysterious group of villains. The newbie went so far as to murder his assistant when the man unknowingly insulted Destro’s controversial manifesto, and readers are thinking the Deternat CEO will try to wage the war his predecessor never got to see through.
So, do you think this war will come to fruition? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!
My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he’s eventually scouted by the world’s best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
