Porno Graffitti’s New My Hero Academia Anthem THE REVO Dominates Trends During Special Episode

The special episode No. 170+1 'More' of the hit anime series My Hero Academia has sparked a massive reaction on social media, driven by the debut of its opening theme song 'THE REVO' by the rock band Porno Graffitti. On the day of the broadcast, 'THE REVO' soared to the number one spot on trending charts across Yahoo! and X (formerly Twitter). As the anime marks its landmark 10th anniversary, fans were ecstatic to see the series return to the artist who helped define its beginning.

The newly released non-credit opening sequence serves as a condensed retrospective of the series' journey. It highlights the evolution of the protagonist, Deku (Izuku Midoriya), from his iconic red shoes to his advanced hero suits, alongside the growth of his classmates in Class 1-A. Social media was flooded with emotional praise, with fans commenting, 'It’s a perfect summary of our journey so far,' and 'Just seeing Deku’s boots gets me fired up.' The high level of synchronization between the visuals and the music has left a lasting impression on the audience.

The track has also been a major talking point due to its meticulous details. The title 'THE REVO' pays homage to the anime’s first-ever opening theme, 'THE DAY,' also performed by Porno Graffitti. Fans were quick to notice deep messages embedded in the lyrics and specific choral arrangements unique to this broadcast version. Comments such as 'You can feel Porno Graffitti's love for My Hero Academia' and 'Celebrating the 10th anniversary with this song is just too emotional' reflect the deep connection fans feel with the music.

Spanning a decade of heroics, the music has been a constant pillar for the franchise. This 'More' exclusive production served as an unforgettable gift for long-time viewers who have followed the story since the very beginning.

The context

My Hero Academia, based on the manga by Kohei Horikoshi, is one of the most popular modern shonen series globally. The anime adaptation began in 2016, and the band Porno Graffitti performed the first opening theme, 'THE DAY,' which became an instant classic among fans. The special episode 'No. 170+1 More' is part of the 10th-anniversary celebrations for the anime project. As the series moves through its final arcs, bringing back the original opening artist is a symbolic gesture that honors the history and legacy of the 'Plus Ultra' journey.

2021 Japan Derby Winner Shahryar (5-Year-Old Stallion) Retires from Stud Duty

It has been revealed that Shahryar (5-year-old stallion), winner of the 2021 Japan Derby, has retired from stud duty. This unusually early retirement, coming just this year after he began his career as a stallion, has sent shockwaves through the horse racing fan community. The primary reason for his retirement was an extremely low conception rate. In his first year of breeding, he covered 74 mares, but ultimately, only 7 conceptions were confirmed, a severely challenging situation.
