The season follows the climactic battle between the Heroes with the students of U.A. High School, including Izuku Midoriya, and the villains of the Paranormal Liberation Front led by Tomura Shigaraki. With information gathered by Hawks, while undercover at the merged-villain group, the Heroes confront them which leads to an all-out war that could change the superhuman society. The second half of the season depicts the aftermath of the war; the Heroes continue to save civilians and capture villains while dealing with their casualties resulting from the loss of the public's trust. When All For One escapes from Tartarus and the secrets of "One For All" begin to be revealed to the public, Izuku realizes his powers make him a special target for the at-large villains and therefore his presence at school endangers his classmates. Izuku decides to leave the school in order to assist the Pro Heroes as they attempt to lure the villains out of hiding.
Crunchyroll has licensed the season outside of Asia and is streaming it along with an English dub two weeks after the original airing on its streaming service of the same name.[4][5] However, the English dub of episode 129 was delayed due to inclement weather delays in the Dallas area where the series is dubbed.[6] Medialink licensed the season in Asia-Pacific.[7] The season's English dub aired on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block from December 4, 2022, to April 23, 2023.[8]
