TV anime My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON (Season 8) will premiere on October 4, 2025, as announced via the series’ official X (formerly Twitter). A new key visual centered on Deku fighting Shigaraki, as All For One and All Might face off in the background, was also revealed. You can check it out below.
My Hero Academia Season 8 marks the conclusion of the nearly 10-year-long anime series, which began in April 2016. Naomi Nakayama returns to direct the anime at Bones Film, which is also responsible for the animation production of Gachiakuta. Gachiakuta‘s second of two consecutive cours will air alongside My Hero Academia Season 8 this fall.
To commemorate the final season, My Hero Academia will also hold a ‘ULTIMATE SCENE RANKING,’ where fans can decide the ranking of the best scenes in Seasons 1 to 7 of the anime. The official English site, plus the terms and conditions of the vote, can be found here. The voting period runs from July 15 to September 15, with results revealed on October 4, the release date of My Hero Academia Season 8.

My Hero Academia Season 8 adapts the end of Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. It will stream on Crunchyroll, which describes the anime:
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
