My Hero Academia knows how to tug on our emotions, and season six proves the anime hasn’t lost its touch. In just a few episodes, all of our heroes are back on the podium, and fans are as eager as they are scared to see how they do in their brewing war. War is on the way, and in its most recent episode, My Hero Academia acknowledged a budding Class 1-A romance in the anime.

After being pulled for the frontlines, Kaminari is understandably terrified to go to battle, and he is seen struggling to find motivation.

And as this latest episode goes on, Kaminari makes that clear when a flashback goes live. It shows the boy practicing guitar even when his fingers hurt just to make Jirou happy. And if that isn’t a sign of a smitten boy, what is?
