My Hero Academia: Final Season will mark the end of the long-running anime series adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi’s superhero manga. While the manga officially ended in August 2024, fans still have this one final season of Studio Bones' anime adaptation.
Earlier this week, Toho Animation dropped the official trailer for My Hero Academia: Final Season, highlighting the intense conflict between heroes and villains. The English-subtitled trailer, which can be viewed below, specifically highlights the battles between All Might and All For One, as well as Deku and Shigaraki.
My Hero Academia: Final Season will premiere this October in Japan, with Crunchyroll simulcasting new episodes as they are released as part of its Fall 2025 lineup. The simulcast streams simultaneously with the Japanese broadcast with English subtitles immediately available. However, it may take a bit longer for the English dubbed versions to arrive. For Season 7, the English dub of My Hero Academia released about two weeks after the Japanese broadcast.
With a few more months to go until Season 8 premieres, fans can catch up with the entirety of the My Hero Academia series on Crunchyroll.
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.
Although My Hero Academia "Hero X Villain" Fest is held in Japan, those in the U.S. can look forward to learning more about the upcoming season at Anime Expo next month. The "MY HERO ACADEMIA SPECIAL EVENT Hosted by TOHO animation" panel will offer a sneak peek behind the scenes of the Final Season.
