My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 8 Review: Match 3 Conclusion

This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 8 “Raise the temperature higher. I can go higher. Burn myself! In order to become who I want to be!” My Hero Academia season 5 has worked very hard to showcase the wide range of characters that compose Classes A and B, especially some of the more obscure or forgotten heroes.
