After years of building up to the final battle, My Hero Academia is nearly at the finish line. The first teaser trailer for the anime’s final season will be released on Monday, June 16, just a few months ahead of its premiere in October.
That date has also been named Hero Day, a new real-world celebration inspired by the show’s world of pro heroes.
When and Where to Watch
The teaser trailer will go live on YouTube on Monday, June 16, 7:00 p.m. JST, which means fans in the U.S. can expect to see it early in the morning, 6:00 a.m. EST.
This is the first real look at the final season, and it will feature actual scenes from the upcoming episodes. It’s not just a logo or teaser text; it’s a glimpse at the beginning of the end.
The Story So Far
The final season of My Hero Academia picks up right where Season 7 left off. The war is still raging. Heroes and villains are locked in one last battle that decides the future of society. Deku is on a collision course with Shigaraki, and everything the series has built toward is finally coming to a head.
Season 8 will cover the final stretch of the Final War arc, including the resolution of the fight between All Might and All For One, as well as the conclusion of Deku’s own path as the last wielder of One For All.
How Much Will Be Covered?
The anime is expected to adapt the rest of the manga through to the very end, including the epilogue chapters that show what happens after the dust settles.
One final chapter, 431, was only published in the collected manga and not in Shonen Jump. It hasn’t been confirmed if the anime will include it, but fans are hopeful. That chapter offers a softer, more satisfying conclusion and it would be a shame to leave it out.
A Long Road Comes to an End
My Hero Academia began its anime run back in 2016, and the manga started even earlier in 2014. What began as a fun superhero school story quickly evolved into something much deeper. It’s about legacy, society, trauma, and what it really means to be a hero.
Now, over 10 years later, both the manga and anime are nearly complete. Seven seasons, four movies, countless fights and heartbreaks and now one final season to wrap it all up.
What to Expect in the Trailer
Fans are expecting to finally see more of the long-awaited Deku vs. Shigaraki showdown. There’s also unfinished business between All Might and All For One. We might get a first look at how these fights will be animated, and maybe even a brief glimpse at the post-war world teased in the manga’s final chapters.
Translation: June 16th is Hero Day!! This year’s Hero Day will feature the screening of “My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON” at 7:00 p.m. A teaser PV made up of footage from the main film has been released!! Please check it out!! YouTube is on
If the teaser sticks to form, it won’t give too much away. But it’ll be enough to get fans talking and counting down the days to October.
A Final Season Worth Waiting For
My Hero Academia has meant a lot to anime fans over the years. Whether you started back in Season 1 or caught up recently, this last season promises to bring everything full circle.
The trailer drops in just a few days. The story ends this October. The wait is almost over.
