The cast of the second season of My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) appeared on stage at AnimeJapan 2017! They talked about the upcoming season and reminisced on what happened during the first. The anime airs its first episode on 1 April 2017.

The featured cast members were Daiki Yamashita (Izuku Midoriya), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Katsuki Bakuro), Ayane Sakura (Ochaco Uraka), Kaito Ishikawa (Tenya Iida), Yuki Kaji (Shoto Todoroki), Aoi Yuki (Tsuyu Asui), Junichi Suwabe (Shota Aizawa), and Kenta Miyata (All Might).

The cast members were asked to give a keyword with which to describe the series:

Yamashita: Proof

Okamoto: Seriousness

Sakura: Family

Ishikawa: Assignment

Kaji: Blood

Aoi: Pride

Miyake: Brand new fertilized eggs!

You will understand why they chose these words when the season starts next week!

The event shared the no-credits opening that features the characters and their Quirks. Near the end of the event, they also played the PV for the upcoming OVA, Training of the Dead. It will be bundled with Volume 14 (on sale 2 June) and looks like a Hollywood horror movie!
