IN what is the final part of Season Two, the class of U.A. High School have a lot to learn when they have to train hard, though as for them their work experience goes horribly wrong. A serial killer is on the trail of the kids, which leaves Class 1A students running scared as this killer has a bloodlust and Deku Midoriya is the main target as he is the only one born without a "quirk" power.

Whereas Season 1 focused on the general plot and getting viewers used to the characters, Season 2 Part 2 has successfully made these characters more three-dimensional and believable to us as ones we can also understand on a more personal level; take Deku for instance and the struggles he has with being a non "quirk" user. The sports festival and grueling exams are only a few of the problems the kids of Class 1A have to deal with, but the biggest by far is the Hero Killer who is what I would call an improvement on the villain in the previous series. The story is fun, engaging and gives us more info on the characters than we could have expected. Couple that with cool animation and we have a winning combination for anime fans worldwide.
