At the end of the finale episode of My Hero Academia season five, Izuku Midoriya discusses an impending battle against the Paranormal Liberation Front. Midoriya explains that he believes the war will be a "major incident that will shake superhuman society." This line calls back the events of the manga series and confirms the topics of the upcoming sixth season.
In the manga, the Paranormal Liberation War is a worldwide conflict between all heroes and villains, and as Midoriya predicts, it is a dramatically significant event that marks many changes in the series. Manga readers know the chaos that will ensue in season six, as the whole world is in a dangerous situation. My Hero Academia's upcoming film World Heroes' Mission may be a catalyst for introducing the sixth season in a better context. The film, which is premiering on October 29, follows a deadly chemical attack that requires the best heroes from all over the world to step in and take down the mastermind of the horrific event.
My Hero Academia is based on a manga of the same name by Kohei Horikoshi. The franchise takes place in a brutal world full of people that are sometimes born with "quirks." These quirks change a person's body and mind, making them have powers. The person may become a hero or a villain, both of which are in a constant battle to save society.
The main character Izuku Midoriya attends UA High School, a school that is made specifically to train heroes. The anime first debuted in 2016 and has been running strong ever since, with 113 episodes to its name.
My Hero Academia can be watched on Funimation.
