My Hero Academia

My Hero Academia

TV Show • 2016

This is the story of how we all became the greatest heroes.

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.

Content Safety Breakdown

Detailed breakdown of potentially concerning content

Sex & Nudity

1/5

The show contains some character designs that are form-fitting and occasional mild romantic blushing or awkward school-age crushes. There is no explicit sexual content, but some character outfits are designed to be intentionally revealing.

Violence & Gore

3/5

The series revolves around superpowered combat, which includes punching, explosions, and injuries that occasionally feature blood. While intense and frequent, it generally avoids excessive or lingering gore.

Profanity

2/5

The dialogue uses mild insults and expletives such as d*mn (frequent) and cr*p (occasional), usually delivered during moments of character frustration or aggression. Other terms like b*stard also appear periodically during aggressive confrontations.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

1/5

There are very rare instances of adult characters drinking in a social setting or minor references to substance use, but it is not a focus of the story. It is not depicted in a way that promotes or glamorizes youth usage.

Frightening Scenes

3/5

The show features high-stakes battles, scenes of physical peril, and characters facing traumatic backstories or villainous threats. These elements create a tense atmosphere that may be distressing for younger or more sensitive viewers.
