Episode 19 Recap
In My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 19, fans met a former U.A. student who everyone thought had died during AFO’s attack in the past.
However, after analyzing the captured Nomu, the university learned it was the modified version of the U.A . heroes on the verge of dying.
As it turned out, the last Nomu in the school’s custody was Aizawa and Present Mic’s friend, Oboro.
Fortunately, there was still a little part of the hero left within the Nomu they used to find Tomura’s location.
From here, the Meta Liberation war would officially begin, OtakuKart News noted.
Tomura is in the hospital, undergoing surgical improvements. So before he becomes fully upgraded, the U.A. may have started an attack.
He is still at his weakest point, so the university still has a chance to stop this upgrade.
Fans are about to see these and more when My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 20 drops on Sunday, Aug. 22.
