What Chapter Does My Hero Academia Season 5 Start

Okay, let’s talk My Hero Academia Season 5! Specifically, where it actually starts. This is a topic that can get heated.

The Obvious Answer (Or Is It?)

Most people will tell you Season 5 kicks off right after the Provisional Hero License Exam Remedial Course arc. You know, the one with the adorable Kota Izumi and all the training.

Following this logic, Season 5 supposedly starts around Chapter 191 of the manga. Seems straightforward, right? Prepare for some serious debate, folks.

Here's My Hot Take

Here's my spicy, possibly unpopular opinion: Season 5 REALLY begins at Chapter 194. Hear me out before you grab your pitchforks!

Yes, I know. Chapter 191 is technically the beginning of the Joint Training arc, but really consider the content of those first few chapters. We have a small wrap up of the previous arc, leading into a somewhat meandering introduction to Class 1-B. Is that truly the beginning of a season?

It feels more like a lingering epilogue to Season 4, doesn't it? You're still riding the high of Eri's smile. The real story is in 194 when the epic battles begin!

The Joint Training Arc: The Core of Season 5

The Joint Training Arc is arguably the meat of Season 5. The battles, the quirk awakenings, the strategic thinking...it's all there!

Chapter 194 is where things truly start cooking. It's where we get to see all of our favorite characters pushed to their limits. Deku's Blackwhip goes wild!

Also, the introduction of Shinso! If that doesn't constitute the beginning of the season, what does?

But Wait, There's More... The Controversy!

I can already hear some of you screaming, "But what about the build-up?"

I get it. Build-up is important. But those first few chapters just don't scream "season premiere" to me.

It's like when you order a pizza, and they give you breadsticks first. Are breadsticks the pizza? No! They're a delicious prelude.

So, What's the "Right" Answer?

Honestly? There is no definitively "right" answer. It's all a matter of perspective and what you consider to be the true starting point of the narrative.

Some people will swear by Chapter 191. Others might even argue for a different chapter altogether. It is subjective. But the argument should be made!

It's all about where you feel the season truly kicks into high gear. And in my humble opinion, it’s Chapter 194.

Let the Debates Begin!

Ultimately, does it matter if the season truly started at Chapter 191 or Chapter 194? Maybe not. But that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun debating it!
