My hero academia

"The plan to engage the villains on the heroes' terms has mostly succeeded. Now in different locations around Japan, the heroes and U.A. students take on the villains in all-out battles! First, Todoroki squares off against Dabi with terrifying intensity. Elsewhere, Endeavor and Hawks hope to turn the tables on All For One, but the villain mastermind has one last trick up his sleeve. Finally, it's Tomura's new and improved body versus the crew at the airborne U.A., where the youngest heroes have critical roles to play!"--Back cover.

Battle flame

The ultimate war between heroes and villains looms in the near future as both sides regroup. Japan's heroes weave their plans in the lead-up, but will spies within U.A. give it all away? The Hero Course students will have their parts to play as well, and Midoriya himself will have a major role. If things work out, the heroes hope to divide and conquer, but even the best-laid plans rarely survive contact with the enemy.

Hopes

"In the desperate battle with All For One and his minions, the U.A. students are pushing themselves to their absolute limits. Everywhere, the villains have the upper hand. As the floating U.A. island falls out of the sky, Ochaco and Asui fight Himiko Toga, and Midoriya squares off with Tomura. All For One's new form appears all but unstoppable, and if he reaches Tomura, all is lost. But one hero stands in his way"--Page [4] of cover.
