My Hero Academia features several canonically LGBTQ+ characters, including Himiko Toga (confirmed bisexual by creator Kohei Horikoshi) and two transgender characters: Magne (transgender woman) and Tiger (transgender man) from the Wild, Wild Pussycats, who have received official confirmation and in-story representation.
Yes, My Hero Academia (MHA) officially ended its main anime series with the finale of its eighth and final season on December 13, 2025, concluding its run that began in 2016, but a special bonus episode adapting the manga's final chapter is scheduled for May 2, 2026. The "Final Season" (Season 8) aired in late 2025, covering the manga's conclusion, with a bonus TV special planned to wrap up the story in 2026, marking the true end of the anime.
January 29th (1/29) is "Izuku Day" for fans of My Hero Academia because the numbers 1-2-9 can be read as "I-zu-ku" in Japanese (1=Ichi/I, 2=Ni/Zu, 9=Kyū/Ku), creating a playful phonetic pun for the protagonist, Izuku Midoriya (Deku). It's an unofficial fan-created celebration, similar to December 9th (12/9), based on Japanese number-reading traditions.
While many recommend it for children aged 12 and up due to minor swearing and character behaviors, others caution that some scenes may be inappropriate for the really young.
With Deku losing his Quirk, that shared dream and dynamic was shattered. And Kohei Horikoshi the creator of MHA, commented that Bakugo was crying in place of Deku because Deku, in his selfless nature, wasn't outwardly sad about his own loss, prioritizing others' feelings and the situation at hand.
Shoto Todoroki: Origin (轟 焦凍:オリジン, Todoroki Shōto: Orijin?) is the twenty-third episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the tenth episode of the second season.
Shoto Todoroki (Japanese: 轟 焦凍, Hepburn: Todoroki Shōto), also known by the mononym Shoto (ショート, Shōto), is a superhero and one of the main protagonists of the manga series My Hero Academia, created by Kōhei Horikoshi.
Though Deku is the titular protagonist of My Hero Academia, it isn't without his numerous rivals. Among these rivals, Shoto Todoroki makes an interesting claim as the strongest hero in Class 1-A. Not only has Todoroki bested Deku previously, but he is also the most popular character in the fanbase.
In My Hero Academia, Ochaco Uraraka is canonically confirmed as Izuku "Deku" Midoriya's romantic partner and future wife, with the series epilogue (Chapter 431) showing them start a relationship after the final war, where Deku acknowledges her as his personal hero and they openly commit to each other. While other characters like Melissa Shield were potential love interests in movies, Ochaco is the main character who shares a mutual, evolving romantic journey with Deku, culminating in their confirmed future together, as depicted in the manga's time skip.
There's no single "saddest" death, as it's subjective, but popular choices include Himiko Toga's self-sacrifice for Ochaco, showing her desire for love; Magne's brutal murder by Overhaul, devastating Twice and Toga; Oboro Shirakumo's (Kurogiri's) tragic origin as a Nomu, impacting Aizawa and Present Mic; and Midnight's lonely, unceremonious death while fighting as a hero, highlighting the harsh reality of their world. Other contenders often mentioned are Sir Nighteye and Twice.
E100 - The New Power and All For One. As the class battles conclude, Midoriya works with All Might and Bakugo on learning more about his new power.
My Hero Academia (MHA) features a few canonically LGBTQ+ characters, primarily villains, including Himiko Toga (bisexual) and two confirmed transgender heroes/villains, Tiger (trans man) and Magne (trans woman), who defy norms, while some other characters have fan theories or ambiguous hints but lack official confirmation.
A Quirk (個性, Kosei?, lit. "Individuality") is a special, superhuman ability an individual can possess. Quirks are generally unique to their user, and are classified in multiple categories.
Due to all of that,I'd have to say that this series is for 13+ for a general audience but ultimately you'd have to decide based on your knowledge of how mature your own children are if you want to let them watch it at a younger age.
Haikyuu!! does not feature explicitly canon LGBTQ+ characters or relationships, as it's a sports anime focused on volleyball, but the fandom widely interprets many male friendships (like KageHina, TsukiYama, KuroKen) as romantic, leading to popular headcanons and fanfiction, while some characters like Yachi are seen as potentially lesbian-coded by fans, though not confirmed in the source material.
While the engaging gameplay and diverse representation are praised, parents are warned about the potentially inappropriate content, making it more suitable for older teens rather than younger children.

Deku's father is Hisashi Midoriya, who has a fire-breathing quirk and works abroad, but he never appeared in the My Hero Academia manga or anime, leaving his absence a major mystery, though fans theorized he'd be revealed in the final arc. While some fans hypothesized he'd show up to reunite with his family or that he might be a villain like All For One, the series concluded without his direct introduction, leaving his status and true role unresolved.
