One of the biggest anime this spring is My Hero Academia, returning for its third season from animation studio Bones (Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater, Space Dandy, Mob Psycho 100).

What makes the powers in my Hero Academia unique?
The powers in My Hero Academia are unique because they’re, in a word, balanced; they have drawbacks, stats, weaknesses and/or side effects on the users’ bodies. This is to say that even powerful Quirks, like Shoto Todoroki’s Half-Cold Half-Hot abilities, have limitations and issues that prevent them from being all-powerful.
Where did my Hero Academia get its inspiration from?
