Summary
The Hero Killer Stain arc ofMy Hero Academiasaw some of the students fight on their own for the first time against a lethal opposition , which sow the seeds for a miscellany of future outcome in the serial , to the point where this may be one of the most important arc of all .
The arc ostensibly focuses on week - tenacious internships for the students , but it soon becomes dominate by Iida ’s pursuance for vengeance against the Hero Killer , who attacked and paralyzed his crony , the grinder Ingenium . Stain is shown to be a rightful rabid , devoted to pass over out heroes he believes to be unworthy of the claim – and his high-pitched bar intend that everyone unretentive of All Might is a target . This arc also reveals some major secrets about One for All , as well as the being of All for One , All Might ’s doomed curse .
The Hero Killer Stain electric discharge covers chapter 45 - 59 of the manga , and episodes 26 - 33 of the anime .

Stain is a Fascinating Character Who’s Hard to Pin Down
As the villain of the arc , Stain obviously holds a post of major importance throughout these chapter / episodes . He was first teased during the Sports Festival discharge , when he attacked Iida ’s sidekick in an surface area known as Hosu City . Stain is say to have killed numerous heroes already , and left others , like Ingenium , ineffective to perform hero body of work . Stain stands out from Shigarakiby deliver a open political theory that he adheres to ; whereas Shigaraki seems to only delight in chaos at this stage , Stain believe that false torpedo are vitiate their world and has devote himself to killing them .
This political orientation makes Stain very interesting , because he does have something of a point . There are many unheroic pro heroes , like Endeavor , whose personal life would be more fitting of a scoundrel , or those who use their hero status as a way of becoming a fame , like Mount Lady . Even the upstanding immature Iida is n’t immune , as Stain call him out on his desire for vengeance over protecting the sprightliness of the bruise champion , Native . alas for any Iida fans out there , though , this is moderately much the peak of his relevance to the tarradiddle .
Deku is capable to prove Stain means what he articulate , too , as his selfless defence mechanism of Iida and Native earns Stain ’s esteem , to the point where Stain in reality save up Deku from the rampaging Nomu . Stain ’s ideology continues to come up and play a use in the story long after Stain is defeated , and Stain himself does eventually number back , though not untilafter the Paranormal Liberation War arc . Without him , the League would ’ve continue to flounder as an planless mathematical group , and all their natural action that espouse would ’ve been impossible to pull off .

While Hero Killer Stain ’s function in My Hero Academia was brief , he set many events in motion . Spinoff series Vigilantes offers circumstance for his insaneness .
The Internships Offer Spotlights to Various Characters
away from Stain , the arc also center on the internships students are doing with pro heroes for a week . While not everyone get focus , the chronicle check in with many , include Kirishima , Bakugo , Uraraka , Yaoyorozu , and Asui . The anime really expands the internship element a mo , with an entirely original episode dedicate to Asui ’s internship , which involved battling against drug smugglers at sea . It ’s precisely the sort of thing that an anime adaptation should be boom on , and the instalment does n’t come across as makeweight at all .
Most important , of course , is Deku ’s internship with All Might ’s former instructor , Gran Torino , who uses a Yoda - like personality to fuddle the shoot for new Cuban sandwich and force him to fancy things out for himself . Gran Torino ’s direction proves to be all-important , facilitate Deku to figure out how to use One for All throughout his whole body rather than concentrating it in one body part , his " Full Cowling " mode . It ’s a major turning point for Deku , as he no longer has to break his own bone to set on .
The internships do also underscore the Stain story arc ; Iida take his internship with Manual specifically to get to Hosu and look for Stain . Yaoyorozu ’s internship with Uwabami seems to subsist solely to establish that therereally are heroes undeserving of the title , as Stain exact , since she fritter commercial and performs interviews all week without ever lifting a fingerbreadth to aid . Bakugo ’s internship with Best Jeanist also ends up being very important to his persona , as Best Jeanist attempts to set the son on the right route .

The Hero Killer Arc Sets Up Everything that Comes After
Among the most authoritative element of this spark is the fact that All Might is prompt to reveal the accuracy of One for All to Deku ( and the audience ) . This necessitate informing Midoriya about the existence of All for One , a awful villain who All Might conceive he had kill many geezerhood prior , and that One for All exist specifically to brook against All for One . Midoriya did n’t just inherit power ; he inherit a responsibility to oppose against All for One , in whatever grade that may take .
All for One apparently ends up becoming a huge element of the story , the Palpatine to Shigaraki ’s Vader . It ’s only a mention , of course , but All for One ’s interpreter has been hear at this power point on a few occasions , speaking to Shigaraki and Kurogiri . All for One would n’t go on to look for a while still , but the specter of this grave villain ( who managed to seriously wound even All Might ) immediately fall in cause to dread for Deku ’s safety .
Stain ’s licking and affiliation with the League also lead off a swell of anti - hero sentiment among the public , something which would only get worse over time as the villains successfully come across again and again . This leads to more criminal offence and vigilantism , which make the kind of chaos All for One fly high in . It ’s also only thanks to Stain ’s political theory that Shigaraki is capable to enter his staunchest allies like Dabi and Toga , and it ’s hard to opine the series without them . It also reveals there ’s more than one Nomu , andthe Nomu would go on to be some of the biggest threats in the serial publication .

Overall , the Hero Killer Stain arc features some important training and character present moment for Deku , reveals All for One ’s existence , has some incredible fight scenes , and put the groundwork for many story arcs that would soon occur to define the serial publication . The events of this arc remain relevant all the path to the manga ’s final electric arc , making it one of the most essential to take / watch . Aside from its importance to the greater narration , though , it ’s just a playfulness arc to experience , and showcases exactly what would makeMy Hero Academiaa freak bang .
