My Hero Academia Final Season (Season 8): Release Date, Arcs, Trailer, and Where to Watch
It feels almost unreal that we’re already talking about My Hero Academia Season 8. What started back in 2016 as the story of one quirkless boy chasing his dream to become the greatest hero has grown into one of the most beloved anime of all time. Now, as the anime edges closer to its grand finale, fans are buzzing with excitement and questions: When will Season 8 release? What arc will it cover? Is this truly the end of Izuku Midoriya’s journey?
Let’s dive deep into everything we know (and what we can speculate) about My Hero Academia Season 8.
Release Date & Streaming:
After nine years of heroics, My Hero Academia is finally closing the book. The Final Season (Season 8) lands October 4, 2025, wrapping the Final War and a short Epilogue with BONES at the helm and a nostalgia-charged opening by PORNOGRAFFITTI. Here’s everything that’s actually confirmed, minus the rumor fog.
- Japan: ytv/NTV from Oct 4, 2025
- Global (most regions): Crunchyroll same day
What It Will Cover (No Major Spoilers):
- Climax of the Final War arc (roughly ch. 398–424)
- Brief, heartfelt Epilogue (ch. 425–430)
Expect conclusive battles, character payoffs, and post-war breathing room.
Trailer & Music Notes:
- New main trailer emphasizes Deku vs. Shigaraki and the show’s “end of an era” tone.
- OP theme “THE REVO” by PORNOGRAFFITTI—a neat full-circle callback to Season 1.
If Season 7 was the fuse, Season 8 is the detonation—shorter, denser, and built to land emotional closures quickly. Keep expectations tuned to tight pacing over sprawling side stories; the source material left just enough to finish strong.
