My Hero Academia: 10 Best Episodes

8. Lemillion

My Hero has a real knack for constantly bringing in new characters. The already large cast seems to be ever-expanding, with most of the fresh faces being nice additions, but nothing too special. Lemillion (Mirio Togata), however, is someone who instantly comes across as an essential part of the series from the moment he appears on screen, and this episode proves it.

Taking place in the Shie Hissaikai arc, "Lemillion" shows at Mirio catches up to Overhaul, Chronostasis and Eri, fighting to free the poor girl from her terrible life. Alongside this, Twice and Toga betray the Shie Hassaikai, and Deku finally finds Mimic's body.

There's a lot to love about this episode's multiple plotlines, with Deku and the League of Villains having some great action. But, the heart and soul is Lemillion, as he battles against overwhelming forces, all for the sake of protecting Eri.

It's exciting and emotional, as watching Lemillion continue to fight after losing his quirk proves just how heroic he is. There's perhaps no better way to develop a character in My Hero than seeing how they react in battle, and this one went above and beyond to prove just how special this character is.
