The beloved anime My Hero Academia will officially come to an end next year with the airing of its eighth season. Following the conclusion of the manga in August, fans have been anticipating news about the anime’s fate, and it has now been confirmed that the series will wrap up in 2025. While the exact date of the final season’s release has not yet been announced, more details are expected to follow soon.
This announcement came just ahead of the My Hero Academia Season 7 finale, which is set to air this Saturday, October 12, 2024. A special YouTube event is planned to accompany the season’s final episode, sparking speculation that more information regarding the final season could be revealed during the broadcast.
The confirmation of the anime’s conclusion was first disclosed through a promotional publication, “My Hero Mass Media,” with further details shared by popular manga news outlets such as Shonen Jump News. The anime’s closure has been somewhat expected, given that it has been catching up to Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga storyline. However, the specific timeline of the series’ conclusion was uncertain until now.
My Hero Academia has been a monumental success since it first premiered in April 2016. Created by studio Bones, the anime adaptation follows the story of Izuku Midoriya, a young boy born without superpowers in a world where most of the population possesses some kind of “quirk.” Determined to become a hero despite his lack of abilities, Izuku enrolls in the prestigious U.A. High School, setting the stage for the gripping tale of his growth and battles against powerful villains.
In addition to the long-running series, My Hero Academia has also seen the release of four animated feature films: My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission, and My Hero Academia: You’re Next. The latest installment, My Hero Academia: You’re Next, is set to hit theaters in the U.S. and Canada on October 11, 2024, continuing the story between the events of Season 6 and the final battle in Season 7.
As the anime prepares for its final chapter, My Hero Academia has cemented itself as one of the most popular and influential franchises in the world of anime and manga. With its widespread appeal, the series is available for streaming on platforms like Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.
Fans now look ahead to the anticipated Season 7 finale, and the upcoming release of Season 8, which promises to bring the story of Izuku Midoriya and his friends to a thrilling conclusion.
