Season 5 is heading into its second cours, which adapts the Endeavor’s Agency arc from the original manga. Its new opening theme, titled “Merry-Go-Round,” is performed by MAN WITH A MISSION. The ending theme, titled “Uso ja nai,” will be performed by Soushi Sakiyama.
The first part of My Hero Academia season 5 made its debut in Japan back in March. It adapts the Joint Training arc of the manga in which class 1A and class 1B go against each other. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll and Funimation in Japanese with English subtitles; the latter also has the English dub available. The fifth season also began airing on Toonami in May.
