Review of My Hero Academia Season 6

It's no secret to my friends that I have liked this show and have been a fan for a while. This is a show that I've pretty much grown with out of high school and into college, so trust me when I say that this season is a true a return to form. After two seasons of inconsistency and arcs that may have felt tedious at best we have reached a season that I think not only meets some earlier entries but can exceed them. This is a return to the emotions, the themes, and the moments of the early MHA that I watched duringmy last few years in high school. What I think MHA had been missing for a while was introspection, the intricate and deeper moments that made up a lot of the earlier seasons. Whether it was All Might's final stand and realizing that he was passing on his will to his successor or Deku and Bakugo's fight embroiled in the complicated childhood trauma shared between them. While we saw flashes of that in the fourth and fifth season, I really don't think that other than Endeavor's moment in the fourth season we get that deep, even relatable introspection for a character. But we do here, not only is both halves of the season filled with reflection and introspection from multiple characters, but there are character moments that have been building up for seasons now that finally hit their stride and it's amazing to see. There's actual internal conflict for Deku that results in possibly one of my favorite episodes of the season yet.

There's so much I can talk about, but I do not want to spoil the plot or any other intracies. Instead I want to let anyone who reads this, MHA is back, it's back and it's finally as good as it was before.
