My Hero Academia ‘More Of A Hero Than Anyone’ Review

Released this week, episode 107 of My Hero Academia premiered titled ‘More Of A Hero Than Anyone.’ After Endeavor and his work-study heroes rescue Natsu, Class 1-A has returned to school. They’re all pumped to demonstrate what they’ve learn. Shota Aizawa is called to see Nezu. Class 1-A talk about various gossip and improvements as All Might makes a joke with his catchphrase and cotton candy. All Might explains to the students regarding Aizawa’s absence that something important came up. On the road, Aizawa and Hizashi (Present Mic) are en-route to Tartarus and appear increasingly nervous as they get closer. The two arrive with Naomasa and Gran Torino explaining about their Nomu findings that they’re corpses reanimated to hold multiple quirks with no will of their own. Naomasa and Gran Torino tell them that Kurogiri is a Nomu, whose corpse is likely to be extremely familiar to them. An old classmate who got killed during their work study, Oboro Shirakumo who possessed a cloud quirk. A brief flashback of the three young students show them closely bonded with dreams of starting their own hero agency. Aizawa and Hizashi now arrive to speak to Kurogiri and see if anything might trigger him and prove the hypothesis. At first, the two still don’t believe it could be possible. However, Aizawa notices several things about Kurogiri that slowly begins to prove it which causes Hizashi to face reality too. Oboro briefly appears, crying out to them and says ‘Hospital.’ Which to Naomasa and Gran Torino is evidence in their on-going investigation. As the episode ends, we learn that Hawks receives the code message as things begin to narrow in his search regarding the Meta Liberation Army. A doctor appears onscreen as Shigaraki is undergoing an extreme procedure. ‘More of a Hero Than Anyone’ is an intense episode that puts Eraser Head and Present Mic on point as they learn something truly dear and grim to them. We are pressed to learn more about our young heroes at UA but also the on-going investigation regarding the Meta Liberation Army. Cue My Villain Academia.

It earns a 4 out of 5.
