Boku no Hero Academia Synopsis
The emergence of “Quirks,” newly discovered superpowers,
has steadily increased over the years, with 80 percent of humanity possessing
various abilities, from element manipulation to shapeshifting. This leaves the
rest of the world completely powerless, and Izuku Midoriya is one of those
individuals. Since he was a child, the ambitious high school student has wanted
nothing more than to be a hero. Izuku's unjust fate leaves him admiring heroes
and taking notes on them whenever he can. But it seems that his persistence has
borne some fruit: Izuku meets the number one hero and his personal idol, All
Might. All Might's Quirk is a unique ability that can be inherited, and he has
chosen Izuku as his successor!
After enduring many months of grueling training, Izuku
enrolls in UA Academy, a prestigious prep school famous for its excellent hero
training program, and this year's freshmen look especially promising. With his
strange but talented classmates and the looming threat of an evil organization,
Izuku will soon learn what it truly means to be a hero.
