5TH CHARACTER VISUAL - IZUKU MIDORIYA (DEKU)
Daiki Yamashita Comments:
"I'm sure there are a lot of things that are of interest to you... What did you pay attention to? As a performer, I was very impressed by his eyes. I wondered what he was looking at and what was reflected in his eyes. I felt that he is prepared to fight and carry everything by himself from now on. This is the kind of visual that makes me feel strongly that I want to fight alongside Deku, no matter what happens to me."
"Looking back on the "Paranormal Liberation War Arc," I think that the story was centered on One for All and All for One. The sparks created by that fateful relationship grew and became a battle that involved the world. For Deku, his mission as the heir to One for All became even clearer. Through the battles in the "Paranormal Liberation War Arc" and in talking with the successive successors, I think Deku's desire and sense of mission that "only I can do it" became stronger. Therefore, he made up his mind and left UA alone, saying that he could not involve the people around him. His classmates may have wondered why he didn't tell them, but Deku is stubborn, so I think he took the path he thought was best."

"I don't know the synopsis ahead of time, and I dare to read the script for each recording to know how the story will unfold, but I think the story after this will really involve a lot of things. If you miss one episode, the story will go on so fast that you won't know what's happening, so don't miss even one episode. It's the most enjoyable way to watch the show (laughs). I'll be with Deku and do my best to play out his feelings at each and every moment of the story."

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.
