If you watch a lot of anime, you know it's pretty common for certain graphic scenes to be toned down a bit when they're animated in an adaptation. With My Hero Academia being no exception, let's take a look at some MHA manga vs anime comparisons for scenes that got toned from the source material.

One prominent example of the manga being more graphic is Shigaraki's modification process - if they had left it as is, My Hero Academia would have felt more like a seinen than a shonen in that moment! Read on for the biggest changes between the manga and anime in My Hero Academia when it comes to the darker content in the series.
