Network:ytv, NTV

The sixth season of the My Hero Academia anime television series was produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki (chief director) and Masahiro Mukai, following the story of Kōhei Horikoshi's original manga series of the same name from the final chapter of the 26th volume through the end of the 33rd volume. It covers the "Paranormal Liberation War" (chapters 258–306) and "Dark Hero" arcs (chapters 307–328); the first episode partially covers the rest of last season's chapter, while the rest was the remaining chapters in the former arc. Like the previous four, the season ran in two consecutive cours and aired from October 1, 2022, to March 25, 2023, on ytv and NTV.[1] [2] [3]

The season follows the climactic battle between the Heroes with the students of U.A. High School, including Izuku Midoriya, and the villains of the Paranormal Liberation Front led by Tomura Shigaraki. With information gathered by Hawks, while undercover at the merged-villain group, the Heroes confront them which leads to an all-out war that could change the superhuman society. The second half of the season depicts the aftermath of the war; the Heroes continue to save civilians and capture villains while dealing with their casualties resulting from the loss of the public's trust. When All For One escapes from Tartarus and the secrets of "One For All" begin to be revealed to the public, Izuku realizes his powers make him a special target for the at-large villains and therefore his presence at school endangers his classmates. Izuku decides to leave the school in order to assist the Pro Heroes as they attempt to lure the villains out of hiding.

Crunchyroll has licensed the season outside of Asia and is streaming it along with an English dub two weeks after the original airing on its streaming service of the same name.[4] [5] However, the English dub of episode 129 was delayed due to inclement weather delays in the Dallas area where the series is dubbed.[6] Medialink licensed the season in Asia-Pacific.[7] The season's English dub aired on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block from December 4, 2022, to April 23, 2023.[8]

For the sixth season: the first opening theme song is performed by Super Beaver, while the first ending theme song is "Sketch" performed by Kiro Akiyama.[9] [10] The second opening theme song is performed by Eve, while the second ending theme song is performed by Six Lounge.[11] [12] __TOC__
