My Hero Academia offered up some of the biggest reveals at AnimeJapan 2025! There is a new trailer for the final season, a visual showcasing Tomura Shigaraki next to Deku, and the announcement of the last season’s debut month. Crunchyroll subsequently released the same trailer, and it contains English subtitles.
My Hero Academia Trailer
Here is the new visual. Before we just had the image of Deku.
We don’t have a specific date yet, but the final season will begin sometime in October. Crunchyroll is already set to stream it around the globe, minus Asian territories, and has promised a simultaneous release.
All of the main staff is on-board to reprise their roles for the season. That means Naomi Nakayama is back in the director’s seat, Yōsuke Kuroda is back to supervise the scripts, Yuki Hayashi is back to compose the music, Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima are back to handle character designs, and BONES remains the studio involved.
VIZ Media publishes the original manga by Kohei Horikoshi and gave this description for its plot:
My Hero Academia Plot
Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn’t got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All Might, the greatest hero of them all, gives him a chance to change his destiny…
The manga got its start in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump in July 2014, and it wrapped up last year in August.
Don’t think you can make it until October? Then you might want to check out the anime adaptation of the spinoff manga My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, which will be here next month, on April 7.
