This event brings four popular characters from My Hero Academia, another popular battle shonen manga series from Shonen Jump, to the iconic battle royal game: the main protagonist Izuku Midoriya, his rival Bakugo Katsuki, Izuku’s friend Ochako Uraraka, and mentor All Might. Like all previous crossover characters, each character outfit has its specific abilities that can be used to come out on top on the battlefield.
