The anime will be a baseball-themed special, and the franchise’s official Twitter account has revealed an exciting visual for the same. It includes UA students and some pro-heroes in blue and red baseball jerseys.

The storyline centers around pro-heroes from the Hero League Baseball (HLB) with two teams: Orcas led by Gang Orca and Lionels led by Shishido. To secure victory, both teams turn to UA students for help.
