My Hero Academia has officially kicked off the final act of Kohei Horikoshi’s original story with the latest installment of the series, and the latest season 6 trailer teases what’s to come with the first major look at the Dark Hero arc! The first half of the season saw Izuku Midoriya and the other heroes take great losses from the villains during the events of the psychic liberation front war, and the second half of the season explored the first few episodes of the immediate consequences of such a massive status quo shifting battle for the series ahead.

Now that the anime is fully kicking off the Tartarus Escapees arc with the latest installment, it’s time for the anime to move onto the Final Act of the series. This begins with the “Dark Hero” arc, which has been labeled by fans as the “Dark Deku” arc, as fans see the young hero get a very intense look as he single-handedly traverses the streets of Japan to be seen as many of the escaped villains as he can, while using the full range of One For All’s abilities. Check out the new trailer for the Season 6 version of this arc below:
