9 Horror Movie References You Never Noticed In Anime

9. My Hero Academia

Sometimes referred to as “this generation's Naruto”, My Hero Academia is the story of a High Schooler who wants to be a Super Hero in a society where almost everyone has a super power – called a quirk. The twist is that said kid is one of the, like 5% of society, who does not have a super-powered quirk.

Some quirks are as simple as being able to gently levitate items toward you, others are as bombastic as sweating out nitroglycerin and being able to ignite it on command. But one hero candidate in particular has the ability to emit a gas from his body that turns anyone who breathes said gas into a zombie.

Said zombies are nigh-indestructible, have super-strength, and spread their zombie-ism via biting others.

This student, training to be a hero with a quirk known as 'Zombie Virus' is named Fujimi Romero – that's right, much like the dog from Zombie Land Saga he is named after the infamous director who basically created the modern zombie trope, George A. Romero.
