3RD CHARACTER VISUAL - KATSUKI BAKUGO
Nobuhiko Okamoto Comments:
"From the expression and gaze, you can see the growth from a child to an adult, and the change in emotions... With a single delicate expression like this, it makes me think of various stories, so I think it's a deep character. I think. There is a tendency to see him as a symbolic character because of his violent words and actions, but I think that the visuals show that this is not the case at all. The visuals make even me, who plays the character, think. You might think of more things."
"Bakugo Katsuki: Rising" will finally be broadcast. For me, it will be the most difficult episode in playing Katsuki Bakugo. I have to show a new side of Bakugo, so I have to make the viewers think, "It doesn't look like Bakugo,'' but I have to make them think, "This is Bakugo.'' It was difficult to establish. I would be happy if the viewers and listeners felt a sense of 'discomfort', and I hope that everyone will enjoy that 'discomfort'. "

Crunchyroll streams the series and describes it as:
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
