Get ready to class up the battlefield! Bandai Namco’s superpowered free-to-play battle royale, MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE, is kicking off Season 18 on July 29th, and it’s bringing a fan-favourite villain with a flair for the dramatic: Gentle Criminal!

Whether you’re a long-time player looking for a fresh combat playstyle or a My Hero Academia fan eager to jump into the action, Season 18 promises to deliver top-tier chaos with a touch of gentlemanly sophistication.

A Modern-Day Gentleman Thief Joins the Ranks

Known for his chivalrous attitude, flair for viral online fame, and iconic tea-pouring theatrics, Gentle Criminal (Danjuro Tobita) is making his grand debut as a playable character.

Gentle Criminal brings his signature Elasticity Quirk into the arena. Players can expect an agile, mobile playstyle that lets them turn surfaces and air itself elastic—allowing him to dart around freely, jump off mid-air trampolines, deflect incoming attacks, and elegantly outmanoeuvre opponents in style. If you love high-mobility combat with plenty of flair, Gentle Criminal is set to be a must-play this season.

What Else is Coming in Season 18?

Gentle Criminal isn’t arriving empty-handed. Season 18 is packed with fresh content, cosmetics, and upcoming battle updates:

• New Playable Character: Gentle Criminal, complete with his high-flying Elasticity skill kit.
• New Costumes & Cosmetics: Gear up with Gentle Criminal’s Quirk Boost Gear, Shigaraki Scorching Sands, and more stylish outfits dropping throughout the season.
• New Battle Style / Skill Set Coming Soon: Keep an eye out for Twice “Sad Man’s Parade,” set to bring even more clone-filled mayhem to the roster later in the season!

Mark Your Calendars: Season 18 Drops July 29!

MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE continues to evolve its 24-player battle royale formula with unique Quirk mechanics and constant updates.

Season 18 officially goes live on Wednesday, July 29th, across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). Best of all, the game remains completely FREE-TO-PLAY, so grab your squad and get ready to jump into the action!
