My Hero Academia keeps getting bigger and more stressful with each season, and the “Liberation War” arc is some of the series’ biggest, most stressful stuff to date. This season looks to be like the third act to superhero movies released within the last decade, and with double the destruction, given all of the superpowers and other weirdness on hand. But in those movies, it’s been very easy for the plot to get lost amidst the explosions. My Hero’s anime adaptation has generally been pretty good about keeping the characters in the center, even at its most bombastic. With how critical this arc is for multiple characters on an emotional level, here’s hoping the season doesn’t lose its way.
