Deku Heads Into His Dark Arc With Brand New My Hero Academia Anime Character Art

 

My Hero Academia has entered its Dark Hero Arc in its sixth season, casting a wide shadow over the hero world and that has hit our Deku most of all. To coincide with the darker tone in the story, Midoriya has donned a darker-themed suit, complete with a more aggressive hood and claws.

 

The official website for the anime series released the character sheet showcasing all sides of the new suit.

The sixth season of My Hero Academia premiered in Japan on October 1 with Crunchyroll streaming the newest season as it airs. This season comes in two parts that are aired consecutively over the last anime season and this current one. Here’s how Crunchyroll describes the series:

 

Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
