Just a few weeks after Kohei Horikosha's My Hero Academia manga concluded in August, the anime adaptation of his shonen series must also come to an end. After the Japanese broadcast of the final episode of My Hero Academia Season 7, its official accounts of the anime has announced that its final season will be released in 2025 to adapt the rest of the story in the manga series.
A new teaser trailer and visual were released along with the announcement, with protagonist Izuku Midoriya, a.k.a. Deku, looking fierce. "This is the story of how we became the greatest heroes," says Deku before the final season is announced. Watch the first teaser trailer for My Hero Academia Final Season below:
Here's the teaser visual for My Hero Academia Final Season illustrated by Yoshihiko Umakoshi:
The staff for My Hero Academia Season 7 will return with series director Kenji Nagasaki taking charge as chief director and Naomi Nakayama as director for the final season at studio BONES. Yusuke Koroda will return to work on the series composition, with Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima in charge of the character designs, and Yuki Hayashi composing the music.
The final season was announced just a day after My Hero Academia: You're Next, the fourth film in the My Hero Academia franchise, was released in select U.S. theaters. The film was released in Japan on August 2, and it screened in IMAX, MX4D, 4DX, and Dolby Cinema, and is available wit English subtitles and dub releases in North American screenings.
What is My Hero Academia about?
My Hero Academia is based on the manga of the same title (Japanese: Boku no Hīrō Akademia) by Kōhei Horikoshi, which was first published in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 2014, and concluded on August 5 of this year. Viz Media publishes the manga in English both in print and digitally in North America. The manga was also published digitally by Shueisha's MANGA Plus service. In April 2024, the series reached 100 million copies in circulation worldwide.
Crunchyroll, which is currently streaming the My Hero Academia TV series as well as the My Hero Academia: Two Heroes film, shared a description for the series:
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.
