Announced as in production at the conclusion of the fifth season’s final episode, the sixth season of Studio Bones’ adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi’s best-selling manga received its latest trailer on June 19th.
Focused on highlighting the three assault force whose combined hero-and-police memberships will aim to bring down the Paranormal Liberation Front, the trailer opens with a shot of Deku Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro looking into the distance and declaring that their fight against the villain organization is “finally starting”.
The trailer goes on to show Endeavor (CV: Tetsu Inada, Jūzō Kadokura, Tomodachi Game) officially kicking off a raid on Jaku General Hospital, where hidden within is the the ‘Quirkless’ Dr. Kyoudai’s (CV: Minoru Inaba, Dale, Disney) Nomu-producing villain factory, wherein Shigaraki is currently slumbering.

It next cuts to show Hawk, (CV: Yuichi Nakamura, Satoru Gojō, Jujutsu Kaisen) who at this point in his undercover mission into the Paranormal Liberation Front has already befriended Twice, apologizing for his deception of the villain.
“Forgive me, Devil’s pawns,” says Hawks in reference to Twice, feeling bad about his inevitable betrayal of someone who he believes is a genuinely good person.

Eraser is also seen getting ready to avenge all those who were experimented on by Dr. Kyoudai, raising his googles in vengeance of all the people whose lives and bodies were tinkered with and ultimately tossed aside.

While the unit’s first wave rushes forward, the rear Villa Backup Team, whose membership consists primarily of students from Class 1-A, sits in wait of any villain who happens to get past the front line.

Then the trailer shifts to present the series’ core villains, most notably Dabi (CV: Hiro Shimono, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Demon Slayer), who unleashes an attack after being shaken by the fact that Hawks knows his real name:

Eventually, we also see the man of the hour himself, Hawks, enter the fray to fight Twice – though while still holding out the slight hope that he can convince him to switch sides.
Leaving his emotions at the door, Hawks bluntly tells his friend, “I’ve made it this far, and I’m not going to make the mistake.”
