Synopsis:

At UA Academy, not even a violent attack can disrupt their most prestigious event: the school sports festival. Renowned across Japan, this festival is an opportunity for aspiring heroes to showcase their abilities, both to the public and potential recruiters.

However, the path to glory is never easy, especially for Izuku Midoriya—whose quirk possesses great raw power but is also cripplingly inefficient. Pitted against his talented classmates, such as the fire and ice wielding Shouto Todoroki, Izuku must utilize his sharp wits and master his surroundings to achieve victory and prove to the world his worth.

Characters and Voice Actors:

- Main:

All Might "Toshinori Yagi"

Birthday: June 10

Height: 220 cm (7'2")

Affiliation: Yuuei

Quirk: One for All

All Might is the No. 1 Hero and the "Symbol of Peace." He is famous for routinely saving the day with a smile on his face.

In his hero form, All Might is a very tall and muscular man whose design resembles classic American superhero comics. His whole body has more shadows than a normal human being.

Spoiler:

However, in his true form, he appears to be grossly underweight. During an encounter with a villain five years ago, he suffered life threatening injuries; the medical procedures that saved his life left him with an extremely frail physique. Now he can only serve as a hero for three hours a day, as his body cannot handle any more exertion.

Birthday: April 20

Height: 172 cm (5'7")

Affiliation: Yuuei

Quirk: Explosion

Katsuki is a very aggressive person and bullies Izuku Midoriya, who he also treats in some ways as a rival. He has a superiority complex and wants to be first, to be the best at everything. He doesn't like when people look down on him, as if they were superior to him, and gets mad easily. He is extremely arrogant, but also very smart and capable. He also thinks of people such as Izuku Midoriya as an obstacle on his path to becoming the greatest hero.
