The eighth and final season of the My Hero Academia anime television series, also known as My Hero Academia: Final Season, is produced by Bones Film and directed by Kenji Nagasaki (chief director) and Naomi Nakayama, [1] [2] following the story of Kōhei Horikoshi's original manga series of the same name from the beginning of the 40th volume through the end of the 42nd volume (chapters 399–431). In July 2025, Horikoshi was confirmed to being heavily involved in the production, and would provide the new original scenes that were not included in the manga. [3] The eighth and final season premiered on October 4, 2025. [4]

The season begins from where the previous seventh season left off and follows the remaining final battles between the Heroes and Villains including Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigaraki, and All Might and All For One as the fate of the world hanging in the balance. With both sides pushing themselves to the limits, Izuku is determined to save the world and become the greatest hero while depicting the future of hero society and characters' lives.

Crunchyroll has licensed the season outside of Asia and is streaming it along with an English dub two weeks after the original airing on its streaming service of the same name. [5] [6] Medialink licensed the season in Asia-Pacific. [7]

For the eighth and final season: the opening theme song is "The Revo", performed by Porno Graffitti, who previously provided the opening theme song "The Day" from the first season, while the ending theme song is "I", performed by Bump of Chicken. [8] [9]

All Might continues his hard-hitting battle against the rewinding All For One, pushing his armored suit to its limits. He uses the support items to attempt to lure All For One to a specific location, while making him overuse his Quirks to rapidly increase the Rewind effect, but the Villain corners and retaliates, confident at being the one in control. All For One mocks him for being so weak, forced to rely on a suit that replicates his students' Quirks which he starts ripping apart, and that his life is about to be snuffed out in front of everyone on the cameras. All Might counters and claims that others will pick up from where he left off, and after pinning him down, unleashes a giant laser barrage onto them. Meanwhile, back at the Troy battlefield, the Villain Kunieda has incapacitated almost all the Heroes in the area, leaving only Yuga Aoyama able to face him. He takes Aoyama's support belt and derides him for being a "traitor", but Aoyama declares his intention to keep following in the light of his classmates and starts flashing his leaking Navel Laser. Unknown to Kunieda, Toru Hagakure is invisible nearby and focuses the light of Aoyama's lasers to knock the Villain out. As a result of Aoyama's power, Toru's invisibility starts to glitch and she becomes visible, and the two begin rescuing the Heroes. All Might uses his remaining tools to keep All For One contained as long as possible until the laser overheats, with a child-sized, glowing All For One emerging from the crater. Before he can fight back, his body suddenly freezes in place, as Stain appears to aid All Might in the fight.

After having tracked the two down, Stain and All Might charge at the paralyzed All For One, however the Villain uses several of his Quirks to break free. Annoyed at his refusal to submit to him, All For One proceeds to kill Stain and take his Quirk; Stain uses his last words to tell All Might to live on and succeed. All Might is about to be killed by another attack, but the last remnants of Hercules sacrifice itself to save him. He sees hallucinations of Nana Shimura and Sir Nighteye pushing him to keep fighting. Now in range of U.A., and Deku and Shigaraki's battle, All For One attempts to warp Shigaraki to him, but the Villain forcibly rejects his former Master's interference. Instead, All For One drags All Might towards U.A., intending to kill him in front of everyone, with Deku unable to help or else break the stalemate he has with Shigaraki. Resolved to end things his way, All Might prepares to activate a failsafe on his remaining piece of his suit to blow them both up, thinking about memories of his youth in the process. However, All For One destroys it, and paralyzes All Might, gloating about his failure to defeat him. With Gentle and the American jets unable to stop him, people around the world watch on in horror and despair as All For One gleefully begins to tear All Might's body in two. As Deku begs for anyone to save him, an explosion erupts from U.A., from which a revived Katsuki Bakugo emerges and glances down at an astonished Deku.
