Connections to the main series
The new key visual highlights not only the vigilantes, but also younger versions of well-known heroes like All Might, Best Jeanist, and Edgeshot. However, what has caught the attention of fans the most is the appearance of Shota Aizawa (Eraserhead) and Hizashi Yamada (Present Mic) with their classmate, Oboro Shirakumo, anticipating that we will see the emotional arc of their school past.
