The newest “My Hero Academia” original video animation is confirmed to be released this month. The bigger news is that it will also be available to fans around the world as soon as it airs in Japan. The anime-original episode, titled “Make It! Do-or-Die Survival Training,” will be streamed in more countries as more streaming platforms have confirmed to carry the OVA.

The official synopsis from Funimation indicates the protagonists will be subjected to a unique training.
