My Hero Academia’s highly anticipated final season is rapidly approaching, and fans can catch their first look at season 8 soon. In fact, the new trailer is set to debut on “Hero Day,” officially designated as June 16.
My Hero Academia’s final season will cover the last half of the Final War arc, as well as the series' epilogue, although just how much of that epilogue is being animated isn’t yet clear. Hero Day appears to be an event created forMy Hero Academia, based on a fictional holiday within the series surrounding the celebration and appreciation of pro heroes. While the event in the series was never given a hard date, it appears that June 16th has been chosen to celebrate the holiday in real life, although just why that date was chosen in particular isn’t clear.
My Hero Academia’s Final Season Trailer Drops Soon
Fans Can Finally Get a Glimpse at My Hero Academia’s Big Finale
According to a post bythe official My Hero Academia account on X(formerly Twitter), fans can expect the final season trailer to drop on June 16th as part of the Hero Day celebrations. The trailer will drop on YouTube at 7PM JST, which is 6AM ET or 3AM PT. The trailer promises actual footage from the final season, giving fans their first clear look at the events of the arc. The actual season is set to debut in October, and fans can no doubt expect several more trailers between then and now.
While it’s unknown exactly what will be in the trailer for the final season at this time, there are numerous ongoing plot threads and fight scenes that could be shown off, and would certainly make for an exciting trailer. One of the most anticipated of all, of course, is Deku’s long-awaited face-off with Shigaraki, who is far, far more powerful than he’s ever been before. The previous season also ended mid-way through the epic battle betweenArmored All Mightand All for One, something that fans are dying to see concluded.
What Fans Can Expect in My Hero Academia Season 8
Season 8 Will Finish Up the Final War and Move Into Epilogue
Season 8 will adapt the remaining chapters of the Final War arc (chapters 399 to 424, which should be 6–7 episodes) and will then move into the epilogue, which will cover the last few chapters of the manga. At the moment, it’s unclear if chapter 431, which was only released in the collected volume and not viaShonen Jump, will be adapted; many fans are hoping this to be the case, as 431 provides a much more conclusive and happier ending than leaving off at chapter 430 would.
While fan opinions on the manga ending ofMy Hero Academiaare certainly divided, the anime represents a chance to redeem the ending in the eyes of some fans, as some of the events may play better when voice acted and set to music. There’s also always the possibility of minor changes being made to the ending, which could have a surprisingly big impact. Whatever the case forMy Hero Academia’s final season may be, fans can look forward to getting their first peek of the ending in just a few days.
