The Theory of Quirks
It all began in China, in Qingqing city. There was news that a baby that gave off light was born. Ever since then, superpowers were discovered in various places, and time passed without the cause being identified. Before they knew, the supernatural became the new normal.
Their world has become a superhuman society and about 80% of the world population now has some kind of a special trait. These traits or powers were called ‘Quirks’ and they varied from person to person. This is a story of students who want to use their quirks for good and be a hero.
Season Review
The season begins with a villain whose quirk got out of control and heroes reaching the scene to engage and protect the public. Among this public was a fanboy Izuku Midoriya, who had no power but wanted to be a hero. He wishes to go into the top academy UA, which takes only 0.01 % of all applicants.
His childhood friend, well ya, let's call them friends, Katsuki Bakugo is also in his school, who is in the same school also aims for UA. The hero they aim to be, and they want to top is the number one hero All Might.
In the beginning, Midoriya gets in trouble with a villain and is saved by All Might, and he asks if he can be a hero to which he says it's not possible without power.
Later, Bakugo gets in trouble and when Midoriya tries to save him from being quirk-less, All Might gets motivated and saves him and considers him worthy of his power. Thus begins his and Bakugo’s journey of becoming a top hero and how they meet others who change their life.
