My Hero Academia Season Six Gives Fans a Depressing Cliffhanger

By Evan Valentine

My Hero Academia's sixth season landed in a rich fall anime season but created some serious shockwaves thanks to adapting the War Arc. With Shigaraki uniting both the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army to create the Paranormal Liberation Front, the heroes were barely able to squeak out a victory but are now dealing with the horrendous casualties that came about as a result. With the series set to return next month, the latest installment sees Hero Society show off the damage that was done by this latest confrontation.          

Unfortunately for Deku and his friends, they were unable to capture Shigaraki and the League of Villains, as a sacrifice play by Mr. Compress, whose origin story was revealed in this latest episode, gave the current wielder of All For One and his allies the chance to escape thanks to a much-needed hand from the High-End Nomu. While this latest episode brought the first cours of My Hero Academia's sixth season to a close, fans luckily won't have to wait that long to see UA Academy continue to pick up the pieces following the War Arc, as Studio Bones has confirmed that the series will return to the small screen on January 7th of next year.

My Hero Casualties

In the final moments of the episode, along with the preview for season six's fourteenth episode, Deku lays out the damage that has taken place as countless civilians died as a result of the chaos caused by both the individual battles along with Shigaraki's decaying awakening. With the heroes losing several top-tier heroes such as Crush and X-Less, those following the manga know that UA Academy specifically has yet to realize that a major member of their roster has also perished.

On top of the large-scale deaths, even more injuries have taken place as the likes of Bakugo, Endeavor, Eraserhead, Mirko, Gran Torino, Mirio, and more are either hospital bound or reeling from the fights that took place as a part of the Paranormal Liberation War. Needless to say, Hero Society will be a very different place when the anime adaptation returns next month.
