Spoilers for Season 5 of My Hero Academia below!

According to Anime News Network, MHA Season 6 adapts the "Paranormal Liberation War" arc of the manga. According to the series' Fandom, in this arc, the Heroes are compiling all kinds of information to form a plan of attack on the Paranormal Liberation Front. For those who haven't seen Season 5, this is the new group of bad guys that is composed of what remains of the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army. Tomura Shigaraki is its leader.

Of course, the Paranormal Liberation Front has it out for the Heroes and is planning its own attack. Over time, this leads to an all-out war between the two groups where they each will be giving all they've got to defeat the other. In the end, this newly formed group of bad guys wants to overthrow the control that the current hero-focused society has and turn the tables in their favor.

During Season 5, Hawks acted as a double agent. He was always a good guy, but he pretended to betray the Heroes so that he could get intel from them. By the end of the season, the Paranormal Liberation Front had been formed, but we still can't be sure that Hawks doesn't have more info he could use to help the good guys.

You can watch My Hero Academia on Hulu and Crunchyroll.
