My Hero Academia managed to springboard to international popularity relatively quickly for a shōnen anime. As Horikoshi’s most successful work, it has been on the New York Times bestseller list multiple times and spawned a media empire with movies, video games, and spin-offs. From 2016 to 2020, the series managed to make over sixteen billion yen. Any anime that has Wikipedia pages for specific characters in multiple languages is obviously huge. Much of the series’ success can be chalked up to Horikoshi’s amazing art and the genuinely fun characters that inhabit the world. It is one that, in many ways, feels incredibly different and familiar all at once.Horikoshi is a notorious nerd, but this isn’t a controversial statement, so it would make sense that his work would be influenced by the many different series that he enjoys. Stories build on each other and do their best to create something original from the pieces that create a basis for writers to create from. Quite a few of those series span different continents and their energy is easy to see in the pages of My Hero Academia.Beyond several important locations being named after locations in Star Wars, such as Dagobah Beach, there are many other ways in which Star Wars had an influence. From Mirio’s best attack being called “The Phantom Menace” to All-For-One’s mask resembling Darth Vader, My Hero Academia takes a lot of opportunities to shout out Star Wars at any opportunity.
