My Hero Academia Heroes Rising English Dub
Ever wondered what happens when Class 1-A from My Hero Academia gets a taste of being real, honest-to-goodness heroes without pro supervision? Well, Heroes Rising answers that question with a resounding "chaos, heart, and a whole lot of punching!" And the English dub? Oh boy, it's a wild ride.
Imagine all your favorite characters, but this time they're stranded on a peaceful island, responsible for everything from rescuing cats to preventing natural disasters. It’s basically summer vacation with a side of supervillain showdowns.
The Dub That Delivered
The English voice actors absolutely crushed it. You could practically hear the genuine panic in Justin Briner’s voice as Deku when things go sideways (which is often). It's not just about mimicking Japanese inflections, it’s about injecting the characters with a real sense of personality.

And let's talk about Clifford Chapin as Bakugo. His explosive delivery of every single line is pure, unadulterated Bakugo energy. You can practically see the spiky hair and hear the explosions just from the voice acting alone.
But the real magic happens when the characters have to confront some serious emotional stuff. The dub managed to capture all the vulnerability and heart from the original Japanese, proving that a great dub is more than just translation, it's interpretation.
Unexpected Laughs and Heartfelt Moments
One of the most fun aspects of Heroes Rising is watching the kids of Class 1-A try to navigate everyday life. Picture them trying to keep order amongst a bunch of rowdy island kids while simultaneously preparing for a potential villain attack. Hilarity ensues.
There's a scene where Mineta, voiced by Ricco Fajardo, tries to be helpful and ends up accidentally creating a massive sticky situation. It's comedic gold, and the English dub makes it even funnier with perfectly timed delivery.
But amidst the chaos, there are genuinely touching moments. Deku and Bakugo's complex relationship takes center stage, pushing them to confront their deepest insecurities and ultimately grow together. The voice acting during these scenes is particularly moving, conveying the raw emotion with impressive subtlety.
"I'm not gonna lose to you, Deku!" – Bakugo, probably every five minutes
It’s these shifts between lighthearted comedy and heavy emotional drama that makes Heroes Rising so engaging. The English dub nails every beat, ensuring that both the laughs and the tears feel authentic.
Why You Should Give It a Watch (or Re-Watch)
If you're a die-hard My Hero Academia fan, you've probably already seen Heroes Rising. But have you watched it in English?
The English dub offers a fresh perspective on familiar characters, bringing them to life with nuanced performances and perfectly timed comedic delivery. It's a chance to experience the story in a whole new way, appreciating the humor and heart all over again.
Whether you're a seasoned anime veteran or just dipping your toes into the world of heroes and quirks, the English dub of Heroes Rising is a fantastic way to spend a few hours. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and prepare to be transported to a world where teenagers save the day (and maybe learn a thing or two about responsibility along the way).
Plus Ultra!
