For Izuku Midoriya, UA Academy’s sports festival offers a chance to prove his worth to the world. His quirk has tremendous raw power, but its severe inefficiency leaves him relying on more than strength. To win against gifted classmates, including Shouto Todoroki, who wields both fire and ice, Izuku must put his sharp thinking and his surroundings to use.
The festival is UA’s most prestigious event, and even a violent attack has not stopped it from going ahead. With attention from across Japan, it gives aspiring heroes a public stage to demonstrate their abilities—and an opportunity to catch the eyes of potential recruiters.
