100 free My Hero Academia trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
57 free My Hero Academia trivia questions with answers. My Hero Academia trivia for fans who have read all 42 volumes and for anyone who just binged the anime. This quiz covers the whole of Kohei Horikoshi's world: how One For All passes from user to user, why Izuku reclaimed the name Deku, what makes Bakugo's palms explode, which classmate can only see her clothes, and the real name behind Tomura Shigaraki's severed hands. It also digs into the production side: the studio behind the anime, the opening theme of season one, how many chapters ran in Weekly Shonen Jump, and where the four films took Class 1-A, from I-Island to Otheon. Questions run from easy warm-ups about Quirks and hero names to genuinely hard ones about Horikoshi's earlier cancelled series and the first user of One For All. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia and the primary sources it cites, and each explanation adds one more thing worth knowing.

Q 01What is the motto of U.A. High School in My Hero Academia, shouted by All Might and his students alike?
Plus Ultra
Plus Ultra, Latin for 'further beyond', was not coined for the series: the emperor Charles V took it as his motto five centuries ago, and it still stands on the pillars of Spain's coat of arms.
Q 02In which magazine was My Hero Academia serialized from July 2014 to August 2024?
Weekly Shonen Jump
Weekly Shonen Jump had run two earlier series by the manga's author, the second cut short, and he doubted he would get another chance; encouraged by his editor, he reworked an old one-shot, and the result ran for ten years.
Q 03What bonus did My Hero Academia's final manga volume add?
New epilogue
A new epilogue: 38 pages set after the original ending close the 42nd volume, and the anime later adapted them as a bonus episode of its own.
Q 04Who had the first reported Quirk in My Hero Academia?
A glowing newborn
A glowing newborn in China is where the record begins; by Izuku's day about 80% of people have Quirks, and it is the Quirkless fifth, the hero included, who stand out.
Q 05Which animation studio produced the My Hero Academia anime?
Bones
Bones was founded in 1998 by three staff who left Sunrise, the studio behind Cowboy Bebop, and one of the breakaway's first projects was making the Cowboy Bebop film together with their old company.
Q 06At the end of My Hero Academia, eight years after the final war, what job is Izuku Midoriya doing?
Teaching at U.A.
Teaching at U.A. is the Quirkless Izuku's job eight years on, when All Might hands him an armoured suit, paid for by his old classmates, that lets him be a hero again.
Q 07Who makes Izuku Midoriya's first hero costume, working from a sketch he once drew?
His mother
His mother, Inko, makes it as a present for getting into U.A.; the homemade suit does not last, and by the second season it has been rebuilt as a darker, more battle-ready costume.
Q 08What passes One For All from All Might to Izuku?
A hair
A hair: One For All passes through its holder's DNA, so after ten months of training All Might plucks a strand and tells the boy, its ninth holder, to eat it.
Q 09In My Hero Academia, Izuku reclaims the nickname 'Deku' after Ochaco says it sounds like a Japanese word meaning what?
You can do it
"You can do it" is what Ochaco hears, because Deku sounds like dekiru; Bakugo had coined the name years before as an insult meaning 'useless', and Izuku makes it his hero name anyway.
Q 10Who voices Izuku Midoriya in the North American dub?
Justin Briner
Justin Briner read for nearly every boy in Class 1-A, Bakugo and Todoroki included, and says he tried not to get his hopes up about the lead he ended up landing.
Q 11Katsuki Bakugo's Explosion Quirk works because his palms sweat a substance resembling what?
Nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin-like sweat is his fuel, and it has a price: repeated big blasts leave Bakugo's arms and shoulders throbbing with pain.
Q 12What childhood nickname does Izuku use for Katsuki Bakugo?
Kacchan
Kacchan goes back to when the two were small; Bakugo's name for Izuku was the put-down 'Deku', and years later he gives him a full apology for the bullying.
Q 13Which pro hero was once All Might's sidekick?
Sir Nighteye
Sir Nighteye's Quirk, Foresight, showed him All Might meeting a horrible death, and he pleaded with his old boss to retire and find a successor; the hero carried on regardless.
Q 21Minoru Mineta's Pop Off Quirk grows sticky grape-like balls on which part of his body?
His head
His head grows them, and because his own body bounces off instead of sticking he uses them as trampolines; pluck too many too fast, though, and his scalp bleeds.
Q 22Which student's Quirk, Hardening, lets him turn his body rock-solid, under the hero name Red Riot?
Eijiro Kirishima
Eijiro Kirishima once froze when a villain threatened his classmates; a speech by his idol, the old-school hero Crimson Riot, gave him back his nerve, and the name is his tribute.
Q 23Which Class 1-A student's Quirk lets him fire a laser from his belly button?
Yuga Aoyama
Q 14Who gave Shoto Todoroki the scar on his face by pouring boiling water on him?
His mother Rei
His mother Rei snapped after years of her husband's abuse and was sent to a hospital; Shoto only goes to see her again after the U.A. Sports Festival.
Q 15Ochaco Uraraka's Zero Gravity Quirk activates when she touches something with what?
Her fingertip pads
Her fingertip pads switch gravity off, and pressing them together switches it back on; overdo it and Ochaco ends up badly nauseous.
Q 16Tenya Iida's Engine Quirk gives him super speed thanks to jet engines located where on his body?
His calves
His calves hold the engines, which is why Iida fights with kicks: the thrust that makes him so fast also puts superhuman force behind each one.
Q 17Which Class 1-A student uses the hero name Froppy?
Tsuyu Asui
Tsuyu Asui was first drawn up as a boy; the author turned the frog hero into a girl because Class 1-A was short of them.
Q 18Momo Yaoyorozu's Creation Quirk builds non-living objects out of what stored in her body?
Lipids
Lipids are her raw material, so big creations burn through body fat and she has to eat heavily; she must also know an object's molecular structure to make it.
Q 19What gesture does Denki Kaminari make when overusing his Quirk short-circuits his brain?
A thumbs-up
A thumbs-up is all he can manage once he goes past his wattage limit: his brain shorts out, and the gesture is how the giggling Kaminari tells friends he is fine.
Q 20Fumikage Tokoyami's Quirk lets him manifest and control what?
A sentient shadow monster
A sentient shadow monster called Dark Shadow: it grows stronger in the dark, and in a forest at night it breaks loose from Tokoyami until two classmates' fire and blasts tame it.
Yuga Aoyama can't keep the beam going for long: overusing it gives him a bellyache, a flaw that makes him feel a kinship with Izuku, whose own power wrecks his body.
Q 24Hanta Sero's Tape Quirk shoots tape from dispenser-like organs on which body part?
His elbows
His elbows end in tape-dispenser organs, and he swings between buildings on the tape much as Spider-Man does on webs; the author dreamed him up on a trip to a convenience store.
Q 25All Might names his signature Smash attacks after what?
U.S. states and cities
U.S. states and cities, from Texas Smash to Detroit Smash; his strongest, the United States of Smash, is the punch that floors All For One and leaves All Might himself entirely spent.
Q 26The injury that limits All Might's hero form to a few hours a day cost him which organ?
His stomach
His stomach went, along with part of his lungs, in his first fight with All For One, and the wound is what set the top hero looking for a successor.
Q 27My Hero Academia's creator credits which manga for his love of drawing hands?
Naruto
Naruto, as he told its creator Masashi Kishimoto face to face in a 2015 magazine conversation; Kishimoto later sent public congratulations when the anime was about to begin.
Q 28Who voices All Might in the North American dub of My Hero Academia?
Christopher Sabat
Christopher Sabat, also the dub's Vegeta in Dragon Ball, has said the series flips the Western formula: its hero gets all his power at once and must learn to use it in tiny doses.
Q 29Shota Aizawa's Erasure Quirk stops working on a target the moment he does what?
Blinks
Blinks break the hold, a cruel limit for a man with chronic dry eye; it is why Aizawa carries eye drops everywhere and always looks worn out.
Q 30Nezu, the principal of U.A. High School, has a Quirk called High Spec that gives him what?
Genius intellect
Genius intellect, beyond any human's, is what High Spec gives him; experiments people once ran on him also left the polite principal with a sadistic streak that shows when he fights.
