A warning to fans, there are mild spoilers for the upcoming episode ahead.

My Hero Academia Season 3 Episode 5 Spoilers

The team already released a brief preview of the upcoming episode, which teased a little of what fans can expect come the next installment. Based on what is shown from the brief clip alone, it looks like the fight between the attacking League of Villains' Vanguard Action Squad and the U.A. High School's first year students and teachers, as well as the Wild, Wild Pussycats, is about to get even more intense.

The show's main protagonist Izuku Midoriya is already aware of what the real objective of the sudden attack is. This was already revealed by that powerful muscle guy whom Midoriya fought who told him that they are actually after Katsuki Bakugo, who is commonly referred to as Kacchan by friends.

But in the coming My Hero Academia Season 3 Episode 5, it seems that this objective will be revealed to the rest of the students as well. The remaining Vanguard Action Squad will redouble their efforts to capture Kacchan. Upon learning their real goal, however, Class 1-A teacher Shota Aizawa will quickly tell all students to fight back using Mandalay's telepathic ability.

This detail also means that Aizawa is actually alive. In the previous episode, he was ambushed by the enemy at point-blank range and viewers were left to wonder if he really died back then. Thankfully, he is still up and running in My Hero Academia Season 3 Episode 5 and, hopefully, the episode will reveal just how he survived that attack.

My Hero Academia Season 3 Episode 5, which will be titled "Drive It Home, Iron Fist,", will arrive this Saturday, May 5, 2018. Be sure to stay tuned for updates.
