The eighth season of My Hero Academia — also known as My Hero Academia: Final Season — will premiere on Crunchyroll on October 4, 2025, simultaneously with Japan.
Bones studio has confirmed that this will be the final season adapting the Final War and Epilogue arcs from the original manga written by Kōhei Horikoshi.
Official synopsis
In this definitive season, Izuku Midoriya—Deku—and the remaining heroes must face the greatest threat ever seen: Tomura Shigaraki and All For One, whose power has grown enormously.
Decisive battles are coming that will determine the fate of the hero system, while personal stories, such as those of All Might, Uraraka, Bakugo, and other key characters, are brought to a close.
Details of the epilogue are expected to be included, showing the future after the final confrontation.
Setting
The setting will be faithful to the manga and will range from devastated locations after the villains' war, to cities and hero academies, to spaces that reflect the ideals and hope that have always defined the series.
The aesthetic maintains the Bones style, with polished animation, use of color to symbolize emotional tension, moral challenges, and design of already familiar characters facing their worst fears.
