My Hero Academia, Vol. 2 cover

Midoriya's journey continues as he learns to control his inherited powers while facing fierce competition and the challenges of being Quirkless in My Hero Academia, Vol. 2.

In My Hero Academia, Vol. 2, the journey of Midoriya continues as he grapples with the overwhelming expectations of inheriting the powers of the world’s greatest hero, All Might. With 80 percent of the population possessing unique abilities known as 'Quirks', the landscape of heroism is both thrilling and perilous. Midoriya, however, faces the daunting challenge of being one of the 20 percent born Quirkless, which adds to his struggles as he strives to prove his worth among peers who possess incredible powers.

As Midoriya navigates the rigorous training at U.A. High School, he quickly realizes that merely having All Might's abilities is not enough. His journey is filled with intense competition, as first-year students must demonstrate their skills to avoid expulsion. The stakes are high, and the pressure mounts as he learns to harness his newfound powers while competing against classmates who are already adept at using their Quirks. This volume delves deep into the trials and tribulations of aspiring heroes, showcasing their determination and resilience.

Throughout My Hero Academia, Vol. 2, the themes of friendship, perseverance, and the true meaning of heroism are explored. Midoriya’s character development is at the forefront, as he learns that greatness is not just about power but also about heart, courage, and the willingness to stand up for others. The story captures the essence of what it means to be a hero in a world filled with challenges and adversaries.
