My Hero Academia 10th Anniversary Video Released: Return to the Journey of Becoming a Hero
My Hero Academia (BNHA) released an emotional video to celebrate its 10th anniversary. According to Anime News Network, the video offers viewers the chance to relive Izuku Midoriya's (Deku) ten-year journey toward becoming the 'Number One Hero'. The clip takes fans back in time with a collage of the series' most iconic moments.
Created by Kohei Horikoshi, My Hero Academia first began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 2014. The manga quickly became a worldwide phenomenon and reached a wider audience with the anime adaptation by studio Bones in 2016. Over ten years, the anime has reached its 7th season and expanded the universe with numerous films and spin-offs. Horikoshi's detailed character designs and power system (Quirks) have made the series a modern classic of the shonen genre.
The released 10th anniversary video presents fans' favorite scenes in chronological order: Deku's meeting with All Might, his training at UA High School, the bonds he forms with his friends, and the epic battles of the Final War Arc. The video highlights the characters' growth process while bringing to the forefront the series' central theme that 'anyone can be a hero'. Additionally, it includes unforgettable moments of characters such as All Might, Bakugo, and Todoroki.
This special video may not only be a commemoration but also carry hints about the series' future. Although the manga concluded last year, the anime adaptation is still ongoing. Rumors that Horikoshi is working on a new project and the popularity of spin-offs indicate that the My Hero Academia universe will remain alive for many years. Fans speculate that there might be a new film or OVA project announced soon after the anniversary video.
Starting with the story of a powerless boy 10 years ago, the series has now reached millions of fans. This video offers both a wave of nostalgia for old fans and an opportunity for new viewers to enter the series. If you too want to witness Deku's incredible journey, you can watch the video on the official My Hero Academia YouTube channel.
