(upbeat music) - [Narrator] My Hero Academia
is back for season four and Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki,
and the rest of the students of U.A. are facing some very real challenges. You may have noticed that
we're trying something sorta new on Channel Frederator, anime! And I know, we usually
go in depth on anime over on our sister
channel Get in The Robot, check it out if you haven't, but only Channel Frederator
will you get 107 facts and this is 107 Facts
About My Hero Academia. Number one, Deku made
his very first appearance in Horikoshi's one-shot which
was aptly named My Hero. It debuted six years before
the My Hero Academia we know in the winter 2008 Akamaru
Jump, now known as Jump Next! Number two, there are few
notable differences between Izuku Midoriya from the My Hero one-shot and the Deku we know and love. For example, in the one-shot, his name isn't Izuku at all, it's Jack! He's also older, and a salary
man instead of a student. I don't know who they
were, what demographic they were going for but
it's definitely not Shonen, that's for sure. Number three, the name
Jack has hidden meaning. It sounds similar to
(speaking foreign language), a Japanese word that can mean weak. Number four, Deku, on the other hand, can be translated as useless. But if you're Uraraka, you
might see the bright side and interpret it as
(speaking foreign language) which roughly translates to can do. Number five, according to Horikoshi, the My Hero one-shot wasn't
really suited to appear in a Shonen magazine,
because the main character was fully-grown at the time. Number six, creating Hero
Academy was the natural evolution of Horikoshi's ideas,
especially because Shonen Jump readers are usually students, so school would be the
most relatable setting which is why lots of anime
take place in school. I just want more adult anime. Give me more adult anime. Number seven, the other
reason Horikoshi picked a school setting is because
he loves origin stories, discovering how the hero became the hero, when they were still learning. However, he does admit that it limits the scope of the series. Number eight, When
Horikoshi redesigned Deku for My Hero Academia, he tried to give him a
more complicated look, with longer hair covering one eye. However, it just made Deku
look like he needed a haircut and so, Horikoshi then figured that the simpler Deku's design, the better. You know, less is more. Less is more. Number nine, the design of Deku's costume has changed over the course of the series. His very first hero costume, known as his alpha costume,
was made by his Mom, Inko. Number 10, maybe Inko's
such an attentive mom because Deku's dad isn't around much. Yeah, Deku does have a
dad, believe it or not. But he travels a lot as
per, you know, anime trope but Horikoshi has said
he wants Deku's father to make an appearance later in the story. Number 11, Back to Deku's costume. After his alpha costume
is destroyed by Bakugo, because, of course, Bakugo
destroyed his costume, Deku gets a hero support company to tailor his costumes from then on. This costume maintains
his original aesthetic, but alters the jumpsuit
to have a darker green, with more padding for his legs. He also swaps out his original respirator for a sturdier metal one. Number 12, more changes
are made when Deku upgrades to his Gamma Costume. Many of these changes are to support his new leg-centric shoot style. You know, when Deku
discovered he has legs. Deku, you've had those the entire time, why didn't you just use them? He also adds arm braces which
help prevent One for All from further injuring
his already damaged arms. Number 13, additionally, he
adds Iron Soles to the bottom of his shoes to enhance his kicking power. They absorb the kinetic energy
from the impact of his kicks and then redistributes the energy outward via a spring located in
the sole of his shoes. Number 14, it's not just
the Support Course students who work on these costumes. There are a few agencies that specialize in designing costumes for heroes. Bakugo and Uraraka share
a costume designer. You can see the designer's signature, those two black dots, on
both of their costumes. And they're not the only
ones among their classmates to share a designer. Number 15, Sero and Kirishima also have the same costume designer. Then there's Momo's designer which definitely was busy
because they made costumes for Tsuyu, Mina, Mineta, Kaminari, and Jiro. And the best boys Deku and Todoroki share a costume designer, too. In the comments, list down similarities between all the costumes
because, you know, you can kind of tell they were
designed by the same people. Number 16, now that we're on Todoroki, depending on his body temperature, Todoroki's costume fluctuates
between hot and cold, which counteracts the negative effects of using his Icy-Hot abilities. He also has cleated shoes to keep him from slipping on his own ice. Number 17, Todoroki's
birthday is on January 11th, his favorite food is also cold soba. I don't know if you've had cold soba but it is really good, especially if you dip it in the sauce. Number 18, Todoroki's father, Endeavor, was almost a teacher at U.A., but Horikoshi decided that
would make the hero team too OP, so he decided against it to keep the scales of justice balanced. Number 19, Classrooms at U.A.
are only supposed to have 18 students but class 1-A has 20. This is because Shouto
Todoroki and Momo Yaoyourozu were enrolled via recommendation
so they didn't count. Number 20, Speaking of Yaoyorozu, when her creation quirk
was originally explained in the manga, Horikoshi said
that she could produce anything except for organic substances
but he meant to say that she could create
anything except living things. If she wasn't able to
create organic substances, then she wouldn't be able
to create insulator sheets or clothing. Horikoshi corrected this slip up in a later volume of the manga. Number 21, According to Horikoshi, both Momo and Iida were
originally going to be Pro Heroes. They might not be pros in the anime but they do have very,
very powerful Quirks, so it's only a matter of time. Number 22, in fact, Iida
comes from a long line of Pro Heroes, starting
with his grandfather. All three generations of the Iidas have a version of the Engine quirk. Number 23, Iida's grandfather discovered that he could improve his Engine Quirk if he surgically removed the
exhaust pipes from his body. They would grow back even stronger, but it's a painful process
so it's done sparingly. What are these engines made out of it? Is it bone? Kinda gross. Number 24, Iida's birthday is August 22nd and his favorite food is beef stew. He's also Horikoshi's
favorite character to draw. Number 25, Iida was one of the
last characters to be created during the home stretch of
the serialization meeting. Honestly, I can't imagine
My Hero without Iida. It's like the main
three that I think about is Deku, Ochaco, and Iida. Number 26, Deku isn't the
only character to have changed as Horikoshi was planning the series. Uraraka, which I will be calling Ochaco because it's so much easier to say, was originally going to have Mt. Lady's Gigantification Quirk but Horikoshi thought that the amount of
stress she would be under from standing out would
make the character too dark. Number 27, Horikoshi was
also really proud to think of a name that fit her so perfectly. Uraraka means clear and bright. Her given game is a play
on the Japanese phrase (speaking foreign language)
which means piece of cake. It's also is similar to
(speaking foreign language) which means chatterbox girl which is like a super clever ship name. Speaking about ships, on Get in The Robot, we have this whole series
called Making Babies. I know it sounds wrong but
we make powerful quirk babies from My Hero ships and
we kind of imagine how they'd look like, so check that out, that's really, I don't know,
it's one of my favorite videos. We have like eight of them. Number 28, Ochaco's name
also contains the word ocha which means tea in Japanese. Combine that with
(speaking foreign language) which means green and is from
Deku's family name Midoriya and you get a popular name
for their ship: GreenTea! Number 29, Bakugo originally going to be a natural born genius and an airhead who inadvertently hurt others
without any malicious intent but Horikoshi decided that that was boring and made him the explosive,
rotten, nasty boy we all know today. Honestly, good choice. Horikoshi said that his face was built for that kind of character. Number 30, Bakugo wasn't
always Katsuki's last name. Originally, he was going
to be called Gougou. The Baku part is an allusion
to the Japanese word for Explosion so the new
name captures his powers and personality. Number 31, Katsuki isn't the only one in the Bakugo family to be explosive. His mom, Mitsuki Bakugo, is known to get into screaming
matches with her son. But unlike her son she
knows how to be calm when the moment calls for it. She just kind of like punched his head, that was great. Number 32, Mitsuki has a
mutant-class quirk called Glycerin which allows her to
secrete actual glycerin from her pores. Number 33, Katsuki's dad, Masaru, is the polar opposite of his family with a calm and timid demeanor. His Quirk is called Acid
Sweat and it allows him to sweat acid. If he claps his hands together and rubs them he can create an explosion. Number 34, Red Riot
otherwise known as Kirishima has gotten a lot of screen time lately. He developed his hardening
Quirk when he was rubbing his eye as a child
giving him a small scar above his right eye. A scar that Horikoshi admits
forgets to draw often. Honestly, I rub the top
of my left eye a lot but I don't think that's a Quirk, I think that's just dry skin. Number 35, At the end of season three, we're introduced to The Big Three: Nejire Hado, Tamaki
Amajiki, and Mirio Togata. They are third year U.A. students
at the top of their game. And these three make a
big splash in season four. Number 36, Nejire's Emitter-class quirk, Wave Motion is amazing. She can turn vitality into
massive energy blasts, eviscerating any foe! She emits the energy from
either her hands or her feet, allowing her to fly or
float with her Quirk. Number 37, having a Quirk
that relies on vitality has forced Nejire to
work on her endurance. Thanks to her training, stamina draining Quirks
affect her less than others. Which is not a bad side
effect of training at all. Number 38, Nejire participated in U.A.'s annual beauty pageant. Though she did very
well, she was bested by support course student Bibimi
Kenranzaki two years in a row. Number 39, Nejire's best friend Yuyu Haya encouraged her to enter the beauty contest in her freshman year. They are the best of friends
and Yuyu once said that Nejire is the cutest thing in the Galaxy. Number 40, Nejire interns
with the Pro Hero Ryukyu, who's Quirk allows her to
transform into a dragon! Number 41, Tamaki Amajiki's
transformation class quirk, Manifest is pretty much a horror show. It allows him to replicate
the physical traits of anything he's eaten recently,
or on any part of his body. It's important for Tamaki
to consume a lot of whatever he wants to manifest; the more he eats, the
better the trait manifests. Number 42, Tamaki works
at a top hero agency run by the Pro Hero Fatgum, who also relies on eating for his Quirk. Number 43, Mirio decided to become a hero after he fell into the river
as a boy, and was rescued by a nearby Pro Hero. That experience stuck with him, inspiring Mirio to become a hero himself. Number 44, Mirio's quirk, Permeation, gives his body an intangible quality, allowing him to pass
through all physical matter. He can activate it in specific limbs or through his entire body. Number 45, If he chooses to activate it throughout his whole body, he'll fall through the ground and stay there until he
deactivates the Quirk, which then shoots him out of the ground. Number 46, when Mirio's Quirk is activated he loses the ability to breath, use most of his senses, and his clothes fall off. Number 47, don't worry though, when dressed as the hero Lemillion, his uniform is immune to
the effects of his Quirk. And the reason why? Well it's woven with his own hair. Number 48, his hero name
Lemillion comes from his goal to rescue at least one million people throughout his hero career. He also thinks it sounds
like, and forgive me if I butcher this name, Remioromen, a Japanese rock band. Number 49, Mirio's birthday is July 15th. He shares it with Deku,
making them both Cancers. They also both train under
the Pro Hero Sir Nighteye. So, I don't think this was a coincidence. I think it was fate. I am also cancer because
my birthday's July 7th, not that you needed to know but I thought it was cool that all this was like, you know, we're all part of the
same Zodiac, you know? Number 50, Sir Nighteye
is a pretty big deal, because back in the day he used
to be All Might's sidekick! Number 51, I know we just
said that Sir Nighteye was All Might's sidekick but All might did turn
him down several times. But, you know, when All
Might finally did cave, Sir Nighteye single handedly completed all of All
Might's hero paperwork. Number 52, Sir and All Might ended the professional relationship after five years of working together after Sir read All Might's future, saw his demise and begged him to retire. Number 53, but how did Sir
Nighteye see the future? Well, he used his Quirk! Sir Nighteye's Quirk
is known as Foresight. After touching and making
eye contact with a target, Sir is able to see into their future. He retains access to
that future for an hour. However, he can't determine how or when these events will occur. Number 54, Sir loves a good laugh. In fact, he requires
heroes to make him laugh before he'll formally acknowledge them. Number 55, even though Deku
couldn't make Sir laugh, he fights Deku and is impressed
with his ability to avoid damaging any of Sir Nighteye's
sweet All Might merch, and agrees to bring him
on board as an intern. Well, and also to find out
why All Might picked him for One for All as opposed to Mirio, who also interns with him. Number 56, along with his
two pro-heroes in training, Sir Nigheye also has two side-kicks, Bubble Girl and Centipeder. Number 57, both Bubble Girl and Centipeder were fan made designs that won a Shonen Jump
character design contest! Number 58, Bubble Girl's Quirk is Bubble. It allows her to create a bubble filled with any smell that
she's experienced before. Number 59, Centipeder's Quirk is Centipede and he's pretty much a centipede. So, he can use his insect-like limbs to attack or ensnare foes from afar. Number 60, the big bad for season four is Kai Chisaki or Overhaul, who leads the Eight Precepts of Death, one of the few Yakuza
groups remaining in Japan following All-Might's near
eradication of the Yakuza in years prior. Number 61, Overhaul's Quirk
allows him to take apart then recombine anything he touches. When Overhaul reconstitutes
something he's taken apart, he can fuse his victim
with something else. If that occurs, he
creates a type of chimera. His power also allows
him to combine quirks. Number 62, Overhaul developed
a Quirk-erasing drug by experimenting on Eri and
modifying the power of her extremely rare quirk, Rewind. Number 63, Rewind allows Eri
to revert a living being's body back to a previous state,
such as before an injury or even before they existed. Number 64, Eri's horn
is related to her Quirk. Her horn grows seemingly in
relation to her Quirk's power. Number 65, Deku may look up to All Might, but Horikoshi's colleagues
didn't really feel the same way. They all felt that All
Might just looked like some cheesy old guy, who
no one would ever idolize. That just pushed Horikoshi
to draw him even better! Number 66, when All Might is
in his true from as Toshinori, the whites of his eyes are black because he has, and I quote, wasted away into the shadows
but his pupils still shine with pride at being the Symbol of Peace. Number 67, when All
Might's in his hero form, his eyes are normal
because his entire body represents pride. Number 68, one of the
kanji in Izuku's name is homophonous to the kanji for nine which could allude to him being
the ninth One for All user. Likewise, All Might's real name includes the kanji for eight, a reference to him as the eighth user. Number 69, All Might's
birthday is June 10th, he loves films and has a red
phone with his catchphrase I am here as his ringtone. Number 70, Kenta Miyake, All
Might's Japanese voice actor, made a touching observation
about All Might's character. When he gives Deku the One
for All power at the beach, he does so in his muscular form, even though Deku knows
about his true form, and there's no one around to impress. Miyake interprets this as
All Might showing respect to Deku by passing the torch as a hero. Number 71, All Might's
influences as a character seem to be a mixed bag. He definitely has American
influence, with his moves named after American states and his transformation giving
him more of an American style. But Horikoshi has said that he
simply based him off of Goku. Number 72, All Might was the
most popular Pro Hero with fans until he was surpassed by
Eraser Head aka Aizawa Shouta. Number 73, With Aizawa, Horikoshi wanted to create a character who thought logically, but
let the rest just happen. So his personal style
isn't quite as organized as his thoughts. Horikoshi felt that Aizawa wouldn't care what he looked like and thinks
he has a minimalist room. Number 74, Aizawa got his
hero name from Present Mic when they were in school together. Number 75, Present Mic was originally going to be a stereotypical older fat man but Horikoshi
decided a super high energy younger guy would be way more fun. Number 76, The word
(speaking foreign language) on Present Mic's headphones
is the Japanese word for baldness which was meant to be a nod to the original design. Now it's just an in-universe brand. Number 77, Present Mic's
birthday is July 7th, his favorite food is fried chicken, he has his own Friday
night radio show called Put Your Hands Up Radio and he
is extremely afraid of bugs. Number 78, Present Mic's
first english voice actor, Sonny Strait, had to hand
the role over to David Trosko because his voice couldn't
handle the strain. Number 79, After receiving
countless letters about how the hell Mineta
passed the entrance exam, Horikoshi explained that the
rules of the Entrance Exam were to immobilize the robots, not destroy them. Mineta's Quirk is actually great for this. He was able to trap them against a wall or stick them to the ground,
or even plug their muzzles to earn points. Number 80, the term Quirk
is nowhere to be found in the original release
of My Hero Academia. In Japan, instead of saying Quirk, they say (speaking foreign language) which roughly translates to individuality. Fans believe Quirk came into
vogue because before VIZ, HeroAca American publisher,
picked up the series, a scanlation group
called Fallen Angel Scans translated every chapter and
their translator, Gliblord, used Quirk instead of individuality. Number 81, VIZ initially
used individuality in their translation, but the fandom was very attached to Quirk, so they pushed back. Quirk has since become the canon term to describe abilities in My Hero Academia for most countries outside of Japan. Number 82, Quirk users often manifest their Quirk by age four. However, users can manifest
their Quirks as early as birth. For example, when Present Mic was born, he famously damaged the
eardrums of the doctor and his parents with his
uncontrolled, Quirk-powered crying. Number 83, in a similar fashion, the first person with a Quirk was the Luminous Baby,
a baby in China who had light radiate from him
like a little Jesus. Number 84, although Quirks
were initially rare, around 80% of the planet
now has some form of Quirk. Of those 80%, children will
usually inherit either one or a mix of their parent's Quirk. Number 85, emitter type
Quirks are the most common. They can change the state
of things around them, Like Eraser Head's Erasure Quirk. They can also allow the
user to create substances from their bodies, Like Mina's Acid or Momo's Creation Quirk. Number 86, One for All is also considered an emitter class Quirk and may be the only emitter
class Quirk that can physically alter the user
as shown through All Might's hero form and his normal form. Number 87, emitter Quirks
are the only Quirk type to experiences overuse backlash. Like when Aoyama gets stomach
aches if he fires his laser too much or how Uraraka
gets nauseous if she makes her whole body weightless. 88, Transformation is the
least common type of Quirk. Users must focus to activate their Quirk and can only use it for
a limited amount of time. Take Kirishima's hardening
Quirk for example or the horrible, horrible
Quirk Blade Tooth that Moonfish has. Number 98, Mutant class
Quirks stick out in a crowd because they permanently
alter the way the user looks. Their Quirks don't need to be activated and are immune to erasure and
other Quirk nullification. Froppy, Iida, Ojiro, Sero, they all have mutant class Quirks. Number 90, clothing
for mutant-class Quirks can sometimes be an issue. Ojiro needs a specially
tailored hole in his pants for his tail. It's standard for new clothing
stores to have tailors to accommodate people's Quirks. Which is actually kind of nice, that's like a nice world-building aspect I didn't know about until now. Number 91, sometimes children
can be born with a combo of their parents' Quirk,
like Bakugo's explosion Quirk and Todoroki's Icy-Hot Quirk. However perfect combinations
are pretty rare. Which is why Endeavor
only recognized Todoroki as his potential successor, since he considers Todoroki's
Quirk to be a perfect blend. Number 92, it seems as though Quirks can be dominant or recessive, just like genes, and determine what Quirk a child will inherit from their parent. If you want to learn more about this, we did a whole Cartoon
Conspiracy video about it! Honestly, really good. Really entertaining. Jacob did a really good job. Number 93, in extremely rare
cases, like Eri's Rewind, the Quirk can manifest
completely independent of the original parent's
Quirk, and evolve so rapidly that their strength multiplies. These Quirks are typically
powerful, highly sought after, and can be really dangerous for the user. Number 94, all Quirk users have only one joint in their pinky toe. Humans that are born Quirkless like Deku have two joints in their pinky toe. Number 95, now that Deku has One for All, his Quirk is listed as Super-Power in order to protect the
secrecy of One for All. Number 96, a parent isn't
supposed to play favorites but Horikoshi still
does with his creations. He admits that he probably
likes Bakugo more than Deku. Even Bakugo's costume is still one of his favorites in the series. Number 97, Horikoshi may like Bakugo more, Iida may be his favorite
character to draw, but Sero's Quirk is his favorite. Horikoshi said that he
wants to make more use of the Taping Hero in the future. Number 98, Horikoshi has been
seen in interviews wearing an elaborate gas mask. No, he's not trying to
dress like a super villain; he just gets self-conscious
showing his face on TV! I get it. That's why my voice is just a voice. Number 99, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes was released on July 5th 2018. Horikoshi supervised the overall movie, and also contributed to the characters, story, and the script. Number 100, In this movie, there's an expo that completely focuses on Support Item technology. This convention takes place on a manmade island in
international waters. Number 101, David Shield
is not only one of All Might's old sidekicks but is also the designer
of All Might's hero suit and the brains behind
the Support Item Expo. Number 102, Shield's daughter Melissa gives Deku the Full Gauntlet, a rechargeable glove that lessens
the damage on Deku's arms. Number 103, in most parts of the world, people are required to have a hero's license to use
their Quirk in public. However at I-Island people are allowed to use their Quirks publicly. Number 104, if you're not on the island, and not a registered hero and you use your Quirk in public, you're placed in your own,
very illegal category. This is where the HeroAca spin off, Vigilantes comes into play. Number 105, this spin off is
written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court. It takes place mostly as a prequel, with some tie ins to the main series. Number 106, the series centers
around Koichi Haimawari, AKA The Crawler, as he serves
justice from the shadows with the aid of his allies, a crusty older dude named Knuckleduster and a sassy high schooler called Pop Step. And lastly, number 107, the big difference is that no one in this trio is a licensed hero, they're all doing hero work
illegally as vigilantes. Their work largely revolves
around taking care of villains who spontaneously appear
due to a Quirk-enhancing drug called Trigger. To get the whole story, you're just gonna have to read Vigilantes! And with all that being said, it seems like My Hero
Academia's here to stay. Honestly, with season four
going the way it's going, I wouldn't be surprised
if season five's announced really, really soon,
probably after it's aired, honestly, that's probably what they do. Anyway, if you can't get
enough My Hero Academia, you can check out our sister
channel, Get in The Robot. Where I am the cameraman slash
producer slash the guy who did the voice in the background
that talks to the hosts. We go in depth on all sorts of things My Hero Academia related and also just stuff
that's anime in general. I'm Adrian, thanks for
watching Channel Frederator, and remember, Frederator loves you. (upbeat music)
