My Hero Academia: Watch season 5 in HD

Horikoshi stated that after his previous series Barrage was cancelled after just two volumes, he was sad and out of ideas.[5] In order to get more ideas, he revisited a one-shot he previously published in Akamaru Jump, titled My Hero (僕のヒーロー, Boku no Hīrō). This would end up being the basis for the series.[6] Horikoshi was also a big fan of American films and comics, like Spider-Man directed by Sam Raimi, Star Wars, and X-Men, which he used for inspiration.[7][6] Horikoshi cites Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto as being the main influence for his art, specifically stating it gave him a love for drawing hands.[8] Horikoshi has also cited Dragon Ball, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider as sources of inspiration.

 The main theme of My Hero Academia is "What makes a hero?",[9] but, like many other Shōnen manga, it also incorporates a lot of action and comedy. Horikoshi has stated that he likes horror stories and dark stories in general,[7] his favorite features are the ones with bad endings.[10]

Kōhei Horikoshi originally stated that the main theme of My Hero Academia is "what makes a hero," but has since stated it is "to be a hero."[9] Horikoshi says it is not important to outline what qualities make up a hero, but rather what people who wish to be heroes do in order to accomplish their goals.[10] The series started out as a one-shot published in the third issue of Shueisha's monthly magazine Shuiesha's seasonal Jump NEXT! magazine published in July 2014.[11] It became a serialized series starting in the first issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump for the January 2015 weekly releases. Shueisha eventually moved the series for its first tankōbon volume release to their popular digital publication Weekly Shōnen Jump GIGA, which features longer manga chapters than Weekly Shōnen Jump for their first volume release before moving it back over to regular Weekly Shōnen Jump beginning from the second volume onwards.

Despite being set in a "Dystopian superenvironmental society," the series features highly detailed depictions of superheroic action and high fantasy-inspired villains like Shigaraki, who is a samurai-obsessed cyborg made of rotting flesh. Horikoshi has also stated that although he likes stories with bad endings, My Hero Academia's plot will lead to a good ending.[13] The series' name was decided by Horikoshi as an homage to his idol Stan Lee, whose works were known for their emphasis on the importance of the individual and whose characters were strongly individualistic people.[8]
