My Hero Academia: Hero Notebook

Hero Notebook is a recap special of My Hero Academia that aired one week before the start of the second season, summarizing the events of the first season for viewers about to continue the story.

In a world where most people are born with superpowers known as Quirks, Izuku Midoriya is one of the rare few born without one, yet he still dreams of becoming a hero like his idol, All Might, the Symbol of Peace. A fateful encounter changes everything when All Might recognizes the boy's heroic spirit and chooses him as the successor to his power, One For All. The recap revisits Izuku's grueling training, his entrance into the elite U.A. High School, his first days among the students of Class 1-A, including his explosive childhood rival Katsuki Bakugo, and the attack by the League of Villains that gives the young heroes their first taste of real danger, setting the stage for the U.A. Sports Festival in the second season.
