The Final Event Of The 10th Anniversary
The Ultra Expo is the closing event of My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary, the project marking 10 years since the first episode, "Izuku Midoriya: Origin," aired on April 3, 2016. The production committee calls it the largest event in the anime's history. The anniversary year has already included the extra episode No. 170+1 "More," soundtrack concerts in Japan and overseas, free YouTube streams of the first 3 seasons, the special short "I am a hero too" and a 10th anniversary exhibition.
The expo runs from 9:00 to 17:00 JST on both days, with last entry at 16:30. Exhibition Halls 2 and 3 hold the exhibition area and official shop, and the Makuhari Event Hall holds the main stage area.
