It’s based on the manga’s 431st chapter, “which explores the lives of Deku and his classmates eight years after graduating from U.A.” My Hero Academia Final Season, the eighth season of the My Hero Academia anime series, aired during the Fall 2025 anime season.
The original My Hero Academia manga by Kohei Horikoshi ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from 2014 to 2024. The synopsis from Viz Media reads:
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 TV anime began in 2016. Aside from the main anime series, there are four My Hero Academia anime movies and two seasons of the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes spin-off. Beyond anime, there are video games and an upcoming Hollywood live-action movie.
