Bandai Namco Entertainment released a collaboration video with science presenter Denjiro Yonemura on September 30, 2026, marking the third anniversary of My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble. The video is titled Boku no Denjiro Academia ULTRA RUMBLE. In it, Yonemura recreates the Quirks of Shoto Todoroki and Toya Todoroki, who appear in the game's Season 19, using experiments. His profile introduces his own Quirk as Science. He reproduces Shoto's Half-Cold Half-Hot flames with gloves and makes ice through supercooling. The ultimate moves Flashfreeze Heatwave Rin and Flashfreeze Heatwave: Blooming are also recreated through flame tests. The video opened at 12:00 on September 30, following a September 29 announcement from the game's official account. The announcement included an image of Yonemura smiling. My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble is a free-to-play multiplayer battle action game available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
The video opens with a profile card that gives Yonemura a Quirk of his own: Science. From there he rebuilds Shoto's Half-Cold Half-Hot in two parts, producing flame with a pair of gloves and ice through supercooling.
The ultimate moves get their own segment. Flashfreeze Heatwave Rin and Flashfreeze Heatwave Blooming are both reproduced through flame tests. The full experiment footage runs in the video itself, which Bandai Namco Entertainment released on September 30, 2026 to mark the game's third anniversary.
The September 29 teaser from the game's official account revealed almost nothing. Denfaminicogamer noted that the specific details of the project and the capacity of Yonemura's involvement in the game had not been announced at that point, and that the only image released showed him smiling. The sudden pairing drew a wave of puzzled replies on X, including "Dr. Denjiro joining makes way too little sense" and "This is the most incomprehensible collaboration and it's insane."
