The premiere date for My Hero Academia’s sixth season has been unveiled.

At today’s Hero Fes 2022 event, it was announced that the sixth season would premiere on October 1. The sixth season was announced following the finale of season five, which arrived last year.

On August 1, two new season five OVAs will be released on Crunchyroll, which is also streaming previous seasons of the beloved anime series. A synopsis for both OVAs read:

Episode 1: HLB

HLB stands for “Hero League of Baseball” – it is a baseball league founded by pro-heroes who love baseball!

It’s game day! The last game of HLB championship is between Gang Orca and Shishido’s two rival agencies. They form a team (“Orcas” and “Lionels”) to compete. In the world of HLB, there is no rule – using their Quirks is of course accepted. However, just when the game is about to finish, they are interrupted by a villain. Who will be the winner of HLB!?

Episode 2: Laugh! As if you are in hell

Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki participate in an internship under the No.1 hero, Endeavor’s agency.

One of their tasks these days is to find a villain (“Smiley”) who draws doodles in the city. However, since the urgency is so low, they let other pro-heroes solve this case.

One day, Smiley draws a doodle on Endeavor’s house! Being furious, Endeavor himself and the 1-A trio go out to get the villain. However, Smiley’s Quirk turns out to be something ridiculous but powerful… It is to make anyone who looks into his eyes laugh hysterically!

Can the team capture the villain and stop laughing!?

Outside of the season six premiere, a free-to-play battle royale game titled My Hero Ultra Rumble is slated to be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, NIntendo Switch, and PC (via Steam). Sign ups for the PlayStation 4 closed beta test can be made here. A My Hero Academia live-action film adaptation is currently in the works with Shinsuke Sato (Kingdom) as director.
