My Hero Academia season 8 will be the final season of the series, and as such, the latest trailer that has just been released marks the end of an era for the popular anime based on the manga by Kohei Horikoshi.
The trailer above teases a few final conflicts, including the end of the battle between Armored All Might and One For All, which began in the previous season. The trailer also showcases a clash between Deku and Tomura Shigaraki, both fights in which All Might and Deku look to be at their limits.
Though Shonen Jump may never officially crown a new Big 3, fans widely consider My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen the modern-day heirs to Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, which ruled the magazine in the mid-2000s (and still do, in One Piece’s case). Both MHA and JJK’s manga ended in 2024, and although the manga concluded some time ago, Demon Slayer is finally ending its anime with a trilogy of movies, the first of which will premiere in Japan on July 18, 2025. JJK’s third season is approaching with its penultimate arc, the Culling Games, and now MHA is set to wrap things up with its eighth and final season.
My Hero Academia is a superhero shonen series created by Kōhei Horikoshi. It follows Izuku Midoriya, a Quirkless boy in a world where most people have superpowers (Quirks), as he trains to be a Pro Hero at U.A. High School and become the greatest hero ever, surpassing his mentor All Might, and keeping the world safe from villains. The manga debuted in 2014, and the anime adaptation premiered in 2016.
Although there’s no official date, the final season of My Hero Academia will arrive on Crunchyroll in October.
