Hayashi Composed the Whole Score Solo

On plenty of his other shows, like Haikyu!!, Yuki Hayashi split composing duties with fellow musician Asami Tachibana. For MHA he went it alone, cranking out 34 tracks for the first season and another 46 for the second entirely by himself.

One Piece Said Goodbye to MHA With a Teenage Doodle

When MHA's manga wrapped up, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda marked the occasion by redrawing a piece of fan art a 15-year-old Horikoshi had actually mailed him 22 years earlier, long before Horikoshi was a professional artist. It's the same trick Oda pulled when Naruto and Dragon Ball ended, turning old fan submissions into farewell tributes.

Fans Honored Stan Lee Through Cellophane

When Stan Lee passed away, MHA fans online paid tribute by redrawing the classic 1963 Amazing Spider-Man #50 cover, but swapped Spider-Man's webbing for Sero's tape-based Cellophane Quirk. It's a fitting tribute given how openly MHA borrows from the Marvel aesthetic Lee helped build.
