On July 7, 2019, the largest Ultra event in the history of Hiroakai, "HERO FES." will be held at Pacifico Yokohama (National Grand Hall). The event attracted a total of 8,500 fans during the day and night, with 14 members of the cast performing, the largest number in the history of Heroacai events. The event was welcomed with loud cheers.

HERO FES." featured three acts of original readings, including a live recording of the anime. In addition, a special music video featuring the theme songs from the first, second, and third seasons of the TV anime, as well as a special video featuring the early episodes from the fourth season of the TV anime, which will begin airing in October, were shown to fully express the world view of "Heroaca.

The event started with the music video of "THE DAY," the opening theme song of the first season by Porno Graffitti, which was full of a sense of speed. The big screen displayed a series of famous scenes from the first season of the series, in which the "impersonal" Deku meets the No. 1 hero All Might and aspires to become a hero. From there, the audience was taken into the first act of the reading play. The story took place on the day after the members of Class 1A had a hand-to-hand combat with Milio Michigata, one of the Big 3 heroes in the third and final episode of the TV anime series. The audience laughed at the students' comical and lively daily interactions. During the performance, the audience was treated to live dubbing of famous scenes from each character, which were accompanied by animation footage looking back on the main story of the show. The cast members gave powerful and passionate performances to recreate the confrontation scene between Deku and Todoroki at the gymnastic festival, and the scene in which Deku and Bakugo team up to challenge All Might in the final examination exercise test. The audience was mesmerized to the point of tears at times.

The second act started with the music video of the second season opening theme "Peace Sign" by Yonezu Genji, featuring Ochako, Todoroki, and Iida, who showed their growth in the second season. The reading resumed from the lunch break scene. During the reading, live recording of the famous scenes depicting the activities of each character were performed, including the final exam of the duo of Yaomann and Todoroki vs. Aizawa in the second season, Iida's battle with Deku and Todoroki against his brother's avenger, Stain, and the scene in the third season when Kaminari faced Shiketsu High School and Nekkura Seiji in the provisional license exam.

The story of the reading was followed by a scene depicting a class kicking cans with drums using the collapsed zone of USJ, a disaster training facility. In the midst of this, a powerful game unfolded, making full use of the "personalities" and strategies of each player. The tension-filled interactions between the students were so intense that one could almost see the images in their eyes. The live recording of the famous episode at the end of the third season, the battle between Deku and Bakugou, was also shown. The audience was gobsmacked by the passionate exchange between Daiki Yamashita and Nobuhiko Okamoto, and Kenta Miyake's performance as All Might calling out to the two.

The third and final act was the music video of "Longhope Philia" by Masaki Sugata, the theme song of the movie version released in the summer of 2006. The music video was composed to depict the synchronization between the battle of Deku vs. Masculine in the third season and the battle between All Might and his nemesis, All for One, interwoven with the confrontation between Deku and Bakugou, reminding us of the "inheritance" from All Might to the next generation of heroes. In the reading play, we see the exchange that took place that night in the dormitory between the 1st year A class, All Might, Aizawa, and the three members of the BIG3. The reading depicted the positive attitude of the students as they prepare for their internship activities that will be depicted in the fourth season of the TV anime. Finally, the entire cast performed "Further to the other side!　Pulls Ultra! echoed through the hall, bringing the reading play to a close with high expectations for the next season.

After the reading, a specially edited video of the first half of the fourth season of the TV anime, which will start on October 12 (Sat.), was shown. The 25-minute video, which featured not only Deku and other 1-A characters, but also professional hero Sir Night Eye (CV: Shinichiro Miki), who will appear in the fourth season, and new enemy "villain" Overhaul (CV: Kenjiro Tsuda), drew loud applause from the audience, who were excited about the fourth season. The audience, whose anticipation for the fourth season had grown even more heightened, applauded the 25-minute video.

After the special video, the entire cast appeared on stage again. Yusho Kamimura, who played the role of Tamaki Amagui and Kiyono Anno, who played the role of Namihito, two of the Big 3 Yuei characters who made their first appearance in the third season, said, "This is my first time attending a "Heroaca" event, so I was very nervous. They commented, "The recording studio is really hot, and we are giving our all to the recording. The warm applause from the audience made him look relieved. Marina Inoue, who plays Momo Yaumani, was also asked about her impressions of the event. "There was a live recording part in the middle of the recording, and of course we had to perform our own important scenes, but I was also moved to see the other cast members' performances live with the same passion as during the recording. I was very moved to see the performance of the other cast members live, with the same passion they had during the post recording.

Immediately after that, there was a surprise for the assembled fans! Yamashita-san announced that the latest movie "My Hero Academia The Movie Heroes: Rising" would be released this winter, and that the release date had been set for December 20 (Friday). A key visual of the movie version, featuring the silhouettes of Deku, Bakugo, and All Might, was also unveiled, drawing loud cheers and applause from the audience.

At the end of the event, where the latest information was revealed one after another, each of the speakers gave a message to the fans.

Yamashita: "I feel that "Hiroaca" is becoming a bigger and bigger work. It was tough to perform in the reading play because I had a lot of memories and a lot of passion, but I felt that there are more scenes like this waiting for me in the future (such as the fourth season of the TV anime) and it really fired me up. Let's keep supporting them together!"

Miyake: "I came to Pacifico!　In the story, All Might has effectively retired from being a hero, but "My Hero Academia" will continue with the fourth season, the movie version, and the comics. And ...... "You're Next!"

Yamashita-san, Miyake-san, and Okamoto-san then called out to the audience together in a call that has become familiar at "Hero Academia" events. Go further out there!　Pulls Ultra! the cast and audience all shouted together, bringing the event to a close on a high note.

The story takes place in a world where about 80% of the total population has some kind of supernatural ability called "individuality. The story of the growth, battles, and friendship of Midoriya Izuhisa, a high school student at the Yuuei School, and his classmates unfolds as they aim to become heroes, a profession that protects people and society from accidents, disasters, and criminals or "villains" who misuse their "individuality". The story is about the growth, battles, and friendship of Midoriya Izuhisa and his classmates.

In a world where people with supernatural "personalities" are the norm. The boy with no personality, Midoriya Izuhisa, a.k.a. "Deku," meets the No. 1 hero, All Might, whom he admires, and sees the qualities of a hero hidden within him. One for All. Deku enrolls in Yuei High School, a prestigious school that produces heroes, and spends his days testing himself and his classmates to become the best hero who can save people with a smile.
During a forest camp, All Might clashes with his arch-enemy, All for One, following an attack by the Villain Alliance. Although All Might defeats All for One, he runs out of power and retires as a professional hero. Deku decides once again to succeed All Might's will and become the best hero he can be. Having mastered new special moves, Deku takes on the difficult "professional hero temporary license" test. Facing rivals from all over the country, Deku passes the test with flying colors and moves one step closer to becoming the "best hero.
