The first season of the My Hero Academia anime television series was produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki, with Yōsuke Kuroda handling series composition, Yoshihiko Umakoshi providing character designs and Yuki Hayashi composed the music. [1] [2] The season adapts Kōhei Horikoshi's original manga series of the same name from the beginning of the 1st volume to shortly after the 3rd volume over 13 episodes. It covers the first story arcs (chapters 1–21) of the series and aired from April 3 to June 26, 2016, on MBS in Japan. [3]

My Hero Academia is set in a world where about 80% of the human population has gained the ability to develop superpowers called "Quirks" (個性, Kosei). The story follows the adventures of Izuku Midoriya, a boy who dreams of becoming a superhero himself despite being Quirkless. He is scouted by the world's greatest hero, All Might, who bestows his Quirk to Midoriya after recognizing his potential, and helps to enroll him in a prestigious high school for superheroes in training.

[4] Funimation licensed the series for an English dubbed release in North America and released the episodes in a single DVD and Blu-Ray compilation on April 18, 2017.

In a world where most of the population is gifted with special powers known as "Quirks", Izuku Midoriya is a young boy who always dreamed of becoming a hero, despite not having a Quirk himself, until one day he is attacked by a villain made of sludge and is rescued by none other than All Might, the best hero in the world and his idol since childhood.

All Might tells Izuku that he should give up on being a hero and focus on a more realistic dream. Disheartened, Izuku makes his way home, only to see his classmate and bully Katsuki Bakugo attacked by the same sludge villain that All Might captured, who escaped when Izuku latched onto All Might. With no heroes around able to fight the villain, Izuku rushes in to help Bakugo by instinct. The Sludge Villain recovers and attempts to attack Izuku, but All Might saves him and Bakugo then destroying the villain with only a singular powerful attack.

While All Might believes Izuku to be worthy of his Quirk, bestowing it to him right away would ruin his untrained body. All Might then designs a ten-month training regimen to ensure that Izuku can become a vessel that can carry it. After ten months of intense training, Izuku's body becomes more refined and muscular, with All Might now deeming him a worthy successor for One for All. All Might gives Izuku a piece of his hair to eat, to transfer his Quirk to Izuku through his DNA.

Izuku's lack of experience causes him to quickly fall behind the others until one of his fellow examinees, Ochaco Uraraka, finds herself in serious danger and he runs to her rescue. He manages to use One For All to unleash a powerful punch that instantly destroys the giant machine, but the sheer power of the attack also breaks his arm in the process. One week later, Izuku receives his examination results from All Might, who will be the new teacher in U.A. High. The latter showing the video of Uraraka asking one of the teachers, Present Mic, to give her points to Izuku because he saved her.

The homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa, holds a physical test to evaluate how the students use their Quirks, threatening to expel the worst ranked student. Unable to use his Quirk more than once without breaking his bones again, Izuku only has one shot to get a good score during the pitching test.

The next day, Class 1-A undergoes their Hero Basic Training class where All Might is the teacher. Now donning their own hero costumes, the students are assigned to a mock battle between teams of two to test their combat abilities.

A flashback shows that "Deku" and "Kacchan" grew up in the same neighborhood and have known each other since they were little kids. Bakugo was always surrounded by praise for his innately powerful explosion Quirk, causing him to always feel superior to everyone around him. However Izuku still never treated Bakugo like he was better, and even tried to help him after he fell into a river. Bakugo only took this as an insult, like Izuku, despite being Quirkless, was looking down on him. That same anger has carried over years later into the Battle Trial. The mock battle continues with Izuku barely holding against Bakugo's devastating attacks, leaving Uraraka to face Ida by herself. Unable to win against Bakugo, Izuku uses his quirk to redirect one of Bakugo's explosions to destroy the area Ida is in, incapacitating him and allowing Uraraka to win the battle by capturing the bomb.

Before storming off, he warns Izuku that he is just getting started, and will not lose again.

As the leftover villains are captured and the students are rescued, All Might thanks Izuku for saving his life but warns that fighting past his limit has reduced his power limit to only an hour a day. Shigaraki confers with his master, implying that their feud against the Heroes is just the beginning. Later at night, Izuku has been recovered and released from Recovery Girl's infirmary with his wounds treated. He finds Uraraka and Ida waiting outside the school and walks with them. Elsewhere, an unidentified figure standing on a rooftop stares down at the city.
