The cover for Volume 18 features a color version of the final battle of the Internship arc in which Izuku (clinging tight to Eri as she's erasing the damaging effects of Midoriya's 100% strength) fought a completely overpowered Overhaul, the main villain of the arc.

The Internship arc of the series is a highly regarded by fans as the arc contains plenty of darker moments of death, villains and heroes clashing with one another, and Izuku had his greatest fight in the series to date. The final battle somehow even tops the previous big battle of the series, All Might vs. All For One.

Suddenly, the League of Villains attacks in order to kidnap one of the students and Midoriya and the others must think quickly on their feet in order to survive. But recent clues from the most recent poster of the season teases that it could beyond this into the Hideout Raid arc.

My Hero Academia's first movie, My Hero Academia: The Movie - The Two Heroes, is set to open August 3.

The film also previously revealed its first key visual depicting a character fans have never seen before.

Funimation has also unannounced an unprecedented distribution in the West as they have partnered with the series to release the English dub of the series at the same time the Japanese language release of the episode becomes available.
