On January 12, 2023, preview photos for episode 15 of the sixth season of the anime series My Hero Academia were posted on the official website, revealing how battered the Pro Heroes had become. In addition, the article hinted at some exciting developments for the baddies in the next episode. Episode 15 of season 6 of My Hero Academia is titled “Tartarus,” and it will officially launch the Tartarus Escapees arc (also known as the Vigilante arc) in full force. Even though we don’t know how far into the story the pilot episode will go, the sneak peeks visuals are interesting.
The promo photos for episode 15 of My Hero Academia’s sixth season show the Heroes resting while the baddies run amok. The official site for My Hero Academia revealed eight teaser photos for episode 15 of season 6. Roughly half of the pictures show the Pro Heroes making up for the losses they sustained in the Paranormal Liberation War. The second part teases the villains’ plans for the next episode, including a startling comeback. Images of the heroes show them at various stages of rehabilitation after the war. These include Shoto Todoroki, Shota Aizawa, Katsuki Bakugo, and Izuku Midoriya. Toshinori Yagi, formerly known as All Might, may be seen in the pictures as well, sitting at Deku’s bedside. Probably through overuse of his Quirks in battle, Shoto is covered in bandages.
Aizawa wears a bandage over his right eye and on the top right side of his face from where he was touched by Tomura Shigaraki’s Decay Quirk. Bakugo’s injuries were apparently limited to his upper body, as most of the bandages in the collection were applied to his legs and feet. Additionally, it would appear that Izuku Midoriya has been cast completely after using One For All 100%. Viewers can see that he has sustained a further injury to his arms, necessitating complete casts, in this particular image. It should be noted that Midoriya is the only one who appears to be sleeping, which may be a sign that the young hero is in a vegetative state.
Episode 15 of My Hero Academia’s sixth season has the baddies seemingly preparing for their next big move. In the preview for next week’s episode, All For One may be seen grinning under a cloudless sky, suggesting that he has successfully escaped Tartarus. Shigaraki appears to still remain under All For One’s control, which may indicate that the latter is receiving assistance from the outside during their escape. Against a suburban setting, we also see the fan-favourite villain Muscular. The last picture shows a group of people who appear to be jail guards yelling and looking anxious inside a control room. This seems to verify that the villains will be unleashed while the Heroes are gone in episode 15 of My Hero Academia season 6.
