After a long delay, the big announcement is finally here – My Hero Academia Season 8 will now see its last. To that end, the truly faithful in the fanbase can anticipate a satisfactory finale hopefully to Deku’s adventure come 2025. Here are the juicy tidbits on everything we know about what’s coming up in season 3.
Release Window
As announced by Studio Bones, My Hero Academia Season 8 will make its debut in 2025. For now, it does not have an official premiere date yet, but historically the series has produced new seasons in either spring (April-July) or fall (October-December). Given Season 7 concluded in October 2024, we can expect the last season to land in the fall of 2025 — just about a year after the last episode.
First Teaser and Key Visual
Only a brief tease is shown, but it comes with the haunting words of Deku somberly saying: “This is how our greatest story starts,”. This is a line that returns from the series’ start and closes it in such an emotion-filled loop.
The teaser comes with a key visual showcasing Deku beat up, his suit torn apart thanks to the fights coming our way. It sets the stage for what is sure to be an intense and action-packed last season.
What to Expect
According to reports, the Final War Arc will be adapted in Season 8 wrapping up all the volumes of Kohei Horikoshi’s manga. Fans can look forward to:
- The Deku vs Shigaraki/All For One face-off

A Bittersweet Farewell
In a way, fans early are already bracing themselves with feelings of lingering excitement and nostalgia as My Hero Academia gets near its epic conclusion. This series was one of the definitive forces in anime for almost a decade, and its conclusion ends an era.
We know that we will have to wait until 2025 to see how it all plays out, but one thing is for sure – the final season of My Hero Academia looks like a consequence that looks unforgettable as fans grab their armrests at every remaining second.
