In addition to character designs, the synopsis for the 2nd My Hero Academia OVA of the summer is now available:
Winter break. A series of graffiti incidents throughout the city occur, and the Endeavor Office, where Deku, Bakugou, and Todoroki are interns, receives a call for assistance. The culprit is a self-proclaimed artist named Mr. Smiley, whose quirk has made it difficult for the police to arrest him. Endeavor’s attitude changes when he sees graffiti on the wall of his house, and he sets out to arrest him, but Mr. Smiley is a much tougher opponent than he imagined…!
Along with the synopsis, My Hero Academia revealed some preview images for the episode. A key visual for it was revealed only a few days ago.
The first OVA will focus on a hero baseball league that allows participants to use their quirks while playing.
