My Hero Academia Exclusive 2-Part OVA to Stream in August

My Hero Academia concluded the anime’s season 4 in March this year, and it has left fans hungry for more. The last episode of season 4 portrayed all kinds of emotional confusion inside the characters of MHA.

Unlike the neat endings where an arc is seen off, My Hero Academia chose an ending that riles up fans and serves as a foreboding to the upcoming conflicts.
