Most people leave their Chrome new tab page blank without a second thought. Deku vs Shigaraki Live Wallpaper gives it something worth stopping for instead: an animated HD scene of My Hero Academia’s climactic showdown, green energy crackling against decaying dark power.
It’s a free Chrome extension for fans who’d rather open a tab into that fight than a search box on white.
Features
Animated Deku vs Shigaraki wallpaper. The centerpiece of the extension. Energy sparks flicker through the frame, shadows shift across both fighters, nothing about it sits frozen the way a still image would.
HD and 4K quality. Sharp on a laptop screen, sharper still on anything bigger.
A wider My Hero Academia wallpaper gallery. Beyond this fight, the collection includes other heroes, villains, and scenes pulled from across the series.
Shuffle mode. Flip it on and a new scene loads with every tab, so the page keeps changing instead of sitting on one fight all day.
Custom uploads. Drop in your own image whenever you want a break from the built-in gallery.
A clock, date, and search bar layered over the scene, so the new tab page still does its job.
Quick links to bookmarks, browsing history, and your most visited sites.
A notes and to-do panel for jotting things down without switching tabs.
Weather, shown right on the page.
Offline support. Once a wallpaper’s cached, it loads with no connection needed.
Barely any weight. Chrome opens at the same speed with this running as it did before.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it free? Yes. Every wallpaper, shuffle mode, and the rest of the gallery come with no cost attached.
Does it slow down my browser? No. Wallpapers cache locally after the first load, so new tabs open at the usual speed.
Can I use it without an internet connection? Yes, once the scene has loaded at least once. From there it’s stored on your device.
What information does it collect? Only what it needs to display a wallpaper on your new tab. No login required, no access to unrelated browsing.
Can I upload my own image? Yes, through the upload option inside the gallery panel.
Is this an official My Hero Academia product? No. This is a fan-made new tab theme. It isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Kohei Horikoshi, Shueisha, Studio Bones, or My Hero Academia’s rights holders. All character rights belong to their respective owners.
Why Fans Keep This One Installed
The Deku vs Shigaraki fight carries the weight of the entire series behind it, and a still image tends to lose that scale entirely. Freeze the frame and it’s just two figures standing across from each other. Keep the energy crackling and the shadows shifting, and the scene holds onto the same charge it had building up to that moment.
The rest of the page stays out of the way. No dashboard of widgets crowding the view, no pop-up asking for an email, nothing pulling attention off the fight itself. Just a clock, a search bar, quick links, and a rotating set of My Hero Academia wallpapers doing what a new tab background is supposed to do.
For anyone who’s still thinking about how that fight ended, that’s the whole appeal.
