My Hero Academia Season 5

My Hero Academia Season 5 is a twenty-five episode action series that aired in spring 2021. This season shifts focus to an intensive training battle between Class 1-A and Class 1-B, offering a fresh dynamic as the two hero course classes compete directly against one another rather than pursuing individual villain-focused narratives. The rivalry takes an unexpected turn with the involvement of Shinso, a brainwashing-type student determined to prove his place in the hero course despite his unconventional quirk.
