The latest from Shueisha’s Jump Festa ’22 event has revealed information regarding the newest installment of the incredibly anticipated sixth season of My Hero Academia. The newest season of the anime was revealed via a brand new trailer, which also revealed that season six will premiere Fall 2022.
The sixth season of My Hero Academia will adapt the “Paranormal Liberation War” arc of Kōhei Horikoshi‘s original manga. This features an all-out war between heroes and villains. The arc centers around the titular Paranormal Liberation Front, which is a large, powerful villain organization formed from the union of the League of Villains and the remnants of the Meta Liberation Army. It is led by the Grand Commander, Tomura Shigaraki. After a tip from Hawks and a new source of intel in Tartarus, the Heroes have assembled all the information they need to confront the Paranormal Liberation Front head-on.
