The manga for My Hero Academia is quite a long way ahead of where the anime is. There are so many action-packed story arcs, new and departing characters, and incredible plot twists that anime-only fans have to wait for. With the start of the fifth season of My Hero Academia being released this March, there are plenty of new quirk-wielders about to be introduced to those who haven't read the manga.

The season 5 trailer revealed that the stories of the students of UA's class 1-B will be expanded on, however, so many more incredible new heroes, villains, and supporting characters have yet to be brought to life in animation. Without revealing any spoilers, here is a sneak peek at some My Hero characters who have yet to appear in the anime.
10 Re-Destro
Rikiya Yotsubashi, or alias Re-Destro, is a major character who will be introduced into the anime very soon. To the public eye, he is the President and CEO of the Detnerat Company, a large business that creates lifestyle support items. Ever since he was young, he always wore suits and continues to do so to keep up his impressive appearance. He has incredibly strong ideals and will go to the ends of the earth to make sure his goals and dreams are brought to fruition.
9 Trumpet
A loyal follower of Re-Destro, Koku Hanabata, or Trumpet, shares the same demeanor of his fellow businessman friend. He sports a sleek, black suit and slicked back hair. He is the leader of a large political party, named the Hearts and Mind party. Trumpet has influence in the Japanese government and boasts fantastic leadership skills. His quirk is powerful and can be used in a variety of ways to help further his cause.
8 Lion Hero: Shishido
The Lion Hero is the No. 13 top pro-hero. Shishido has a quirk that gives him strong lion-like abilities, and his hero costume portrays that with tons of furs, spikes, and artificial fangs. He takes in Sato, Ojiro, and two Class 1-B students for their work studies during the upcoming Endeavor Agency arc.

Shishido gets more time in the story when he teams up with other well-known heroes to protect his country against the rise of the manga's villains.
7 Slidin' Go
Tatsuyuki Tokoname, or Slidin' Go, is a former pro hero. He wears a very classic purple and black hero costume, and is always sporting a smile. He is incredibly loyal and respectful to his superiors. This multi-faced former superhero will be introduced in the Meta Liberation Army Arc that will hopefully be animated following the upcoming season 5.
6 Magic Hero: Majestic
Enma Kannagi, or Majestic, takes on a very similar role as the Lion Hero in the manga. He takes in Momo Yaoyorozu for her work study and also plays a big part in an upcoming action arc involving many new and recognizable heroes. Majestic's Quirk involves summoning magic ring-shaped platforms that can levitate himself and other heroes. He wears a flamboyant wizard costume, topped with a pointy witch hat.
5 Former One-For-All Wielders
Though anime watchers have been fully introduced to the two most recent wielders of One-For-All, Nana Shimura and All Might, there are six others that have yet to reveal themselves to Izuku Midoriya. In the manga, more information is uncovered about these mysterious and incredible heroes, including their names, powerful quirks, life stories, and personalities.

Their connection to Izuku has been shown in the anime already, with Deku being able to see and feel their figures, or souls, in times of need, and that connection will only be getting stronger and stronger.
4 Burnin'
This fiery sidekick works alongside Endeavor at his agency. Her full name is Moe Kamaji and her hero name is Burnin', which has something to do with her fire-type quirk. Though her quirk isn't clearly identified, it causes her hair to burn as bright, green flames. She is very loud spoken, enthusiastic, and has a burning hot personality. She tends to clash with people who are just as wild and brash as she is, but she is a great help to Endeavor and his team.
3 Oboro Shirakumo
Shirakumo was once a close friend of Shota Aizawa and Hizashi Yamada, as he was in their hero course at UA alongside them. He shared a bright, cheery, and loud personality with Yamada and was a great influence on both he and Aizawa. His hero costume resembles a martial arts Gi, and is topped with a brown aviator jacket. He has light blue hair and a bandage over his nose, likely caused by some of the boyish trouble he would get into. His storyline will be revealed in future seasons of the anime, and possibly first introduced at the end of season 5. More of his story is shown in the spin-off manga, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.
2 Cider House
Cider House is a ragtag team of petty thieves who wear similar horned masks and cause chaos under the noses of the area's heroes. They have connections with the black market in order to get unlicensed quirk gear to amplify their powers.

This villain group's leader has a quirk that can control carbonated water and he uses black market gear to turn water into powerful gatling shots. These guys are always up to no good and don't care about the civilians around them.
1 Shield Hero: Crust
Though he did make a very brief appearance at the very end of Season 4, the Shield Hero: Crust, becomes a more important character in the future arcs in the manga. He is the No. 6 Pro Hero whose quirk is "Shield", meaning he can create stone-like shields from his body to protect himself and others. He can use the strong shields as weapons on the offense, as well. Crust is a strong, built hero with a long white streak in his slicked-back hair and Spartan-looking armor. He is emotional, honorable, loyal, and overall a well-loved and respected pro hero.
