The Hero League Baseball is introduced in one of the new OVA episodes bridging the gap between seasons five and six of My Hero Academia.

These two episodes, titled “HLB” and “Laugh! As If You Are In Hell,” showcase the series’ incredible versatility and ability to oscillate between light-hearted, Quirk-powered baseball games and more conventional, intense villain-fighting adventures.

In the HLB episode, My Hero Academia combines America’s favorite pastime with the world of superheroes.

Baseball has long been a celebrated sport in the anime realm, with iconic series like Dragon Ball Super and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure featuring baseball-centric episodes.

Now, My Hero Academia joins this elite club, presenting a unique twist on the classic game.

The HLB episode is a comedic gem, prioritizing the show’s quirky humor with hilarious moments like Present Mic and Eraser Head’s dry, deadpan commentary and the almost absurd umpire robot that screeches “Strike!” after every missed ball.

But it’s not just about the laughs; this episode also allows lesser-known characters to shine.

Fan favorites like Bakugo and Todoroki take a back seat as supporting characters like Gang Orca, Shishido, Minoru Mineta, and Mashirao Ojiro get their moment in the spotlight.

The episode demonstrates the strategic possibilities of Quirks in the context of baseball.

For example, Mt. Lady’s gigantification allows her to easily cover the field, while Mezo Shoji’s Dupli-Arms make him a versatile and formidable player.

The animation in this episode is a visual treat, as the characters’ Quirks come to life in vibrant, awe-inspiring displays on the field.

In contrast, “Laugh! As If You Are In Hell” presents a more familiar My Hero Academia scenario, with Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki taking on a graffiti villain named Smiley.

While Smiley’s Quirk—triggering uncontrollable laughter—poses a unique challenge for the heroes, the episode ultimately centers around the power of empathy and understanding.

Deku’s ability to connect with Smiley personally is a heartwarming reminder that compassion can be the most powerful Quirk of all.

In conclusion, the two OVA episodes “HLB” and “Laugh! As If You Are In Hell” brilliantly showcase the diverse storytelling capabilities of My Hero Academia.

They offer a delightful mix of humor, action, and heart while highlighting lesser-known characters and the boundless potential of a world brimming with Quirks.

These episodes were the perfect prelude to the next season, leaving fans eager for more adventures in the extraordinary universe of My Hero Academia.
