The final chapter of the My Hero Academia anime, titled My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON, will premiere in October. It will air every Saturday at 5:30 PM on the Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV network, broadcasting across 29 stations nationwide in Japan.

Alongside the announcement, the second teaser visual and a super teaser PV have been released. The new key visual, illustrated by character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, features Tomura Shigaraki—the ultimate villain who will face off against protagonist Deku in the climactic battle of the series. This visual is designed as a counterpart to the first teaser visual, released last October, which featured Deku. Each visual includes powerful taglines that reflect the characters’ beliefs, resulting in a striking and emotional composition.

The super teaser PV traces the paths taken by both Deku and Shigaraki, building anticipation for the epic conclusion that lies ahead. It also features newly recorded lines by Daiki Yamashita as Deku and Koki Uchiyama as Shigaraki, capturing the emotional weight of their final confrontation.

My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON adapts the final arc of the manga, starting from Volume 40. It will depict the ultimate showdowns: Deku versus Shigaraki, and All Might versus All For One, as the series moves toward its grand finale.

Set in a world where superhuman abilities known as "Quirks" are commonplace, My Hero Academia follows Izuku Midoriya, a Quirkless boy who dreams of becoming a hero. Enrolled at the prestigious U.A. High School, he trains alongside his classmates to protect society and fight against villainous threats.

The manga originally began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 2014 and concluded on August 5, 2024. It has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation. The anime series began airing in April 2016, followed by several successful theatrical films. The seventh season of the anime concluded in October 2024, setting the stage for the long-awaited FINAL SEASON.
