My Hero Academia Season 6 Kills the Show's Biggest Hero Yet

My Hero Academia is back with season six, and things are looking worse for our heroes by the day. When the show left off last year, fans were faced with a dire picture as our heroes' raid against Shigaraki did not go to plan. The aftermath of the battle is horrifying to say the least, and our heroes-in-training are learning firsthand what is at stake when you're a hero. After all, one of their mentors was killed in action, and the death marks the biggest to date in the anime. 

Warning. If you have yet to see the premiere episode of My Hero Academia's Sixth Season Second Cours, be forewarned that we are about to get into major spoiler territory.

While all the students of Class 1-A were able to somehow escape the fight against the Paranormal Liberation Front with their lives, it seems that one of their teachers wasn't able to do the same. Seemingly taking place off-screen, the UA Academy teacher, Midnight, has died. The last time that we saw the seductive superhero, she was facing down a gaggle of antagonists that were bearing down on her. While we weren't able to see how Midnight kicked the bucket, a handful of Class 1-A students were able to come upon her body, unable to hold back their tears.

Midnight Hero Academia

Midnight wasn't the only adult superhero that died in the fight against the villains it would seem, as the lesser-seen "Majestic" was also noted to have died in the brawl for the fate of Hero Society. With Shigaraki's awakening killing top-ranked heroes such as Crush and X-Less, the latest episode also saw some heroes deciding that in the face of the damage inflicted by the villains, they needed to find a new line of work, retiring from the hero game entirely.

With civilians questioning the heroes' ability to protect them, along with their trustworthiness following the major revelations of Dabi as the son of Endeavor, Deku is going to have to step it up when it comes to holding society together. Sporting a far darker appearance in the new opening credits of the second half of season six, "Dark Deku" is preparing to arrive in the anime adaptation.
