Synopsis
After surviving the attack on the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, Izuku Midoriya and his classmates enter the U.A. Sports Festival, a nationally televised competition where aspiring heroes demonstrate their Quirks to professional agencies. The tournament gives Izuku an opportunity to prove himself while bringing him into direct competition with Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, and talented students from U.A.'s other courses.
The season subsequently follows the students through professional internships, during which Tenya Iida's search for the Hero Killer Stain draws several young heroes into a genuine crisis in Hosu City. Its final arc pairs Class 1-A students against their teachers in practical examinations. Covering the Sports Festival, Hero Killer, and Final Exams arcs, the season substantially expands the supporting cast and examines the motivations underlying professional heroism.
