The end of an era is here. My Hero Academia has officially unveiled the main trailer for its eighth and final season, offering fans a glimpse of the epic battles and emotional moments that await. Studio BONES FILM is once again behind the animation, with Naomi Nakayama returning to direct. The new season will premiere worldwide on October 4 and will be available to stream on Crunchyroll.
The trailer also features the stirring new theme song titled “THE REVO,” setting the tone for the climactic showdown between heroes and villains. Viewers got a brief look at Deku facing off against Shigaraki, while All Might and All For One prepare for one last decisive confrontation. This trailer confirms that the final season will dive directly into the heart of the ultimate war that has been building over the past arcs.
In a surprising twist, the trailer was briefly uploaded to the official My Hero Academia social media accounts before being taken down. The video on YouTube was quickly switched to private and the post on X was deleted, likely because it was released ahead of schedule. Still, its short-lived release was enough to generate buzz across the fandom, with fans eager for more updates leading up to the premiere.
The manga, created by Kohei Horikoshi, concluded in 2024 after a ten-year run in Weekly Shonen Jump, receiving widespread acclaim for its finale. Since its debut in 2016, the anime has become one of the most popular modern shonen series, spanning seven completed seasons, multiple movies, and spin-off projects. Season 7 ended on October 12, 2024, immediately followed by the announcement that Season 8 would serve as the definitive conclusion.
With the battles now reaching their peak, fans can expect a season packed with emotional stakes, powerful action, and heartfelt moments that bring the story of Deku, his classmates, and the world of heroes to its long-awaited finale. Crunchyroll will be the exclusive streaming platform for the last season, ensuring fans worldwide can experience the conclusion together.
