If you’ve been following Deku’s journey from the start, this is a moment you don’t want to miss. Check out the trailer here:
- First trailer for My Hero Academia season 8 is out

- Release planned for October on Crunchyroll
End of an Era for My Hero Academia
The latest trailer confirms what many fans have been suspecting for a while—season 8 will be the last. Based on Kohei Horikoshi’s hit manga, this anime has been a defining title of the last decade. The new footage teases the final battles: Armored All Might going all out against One For All, and Deku facing Tomura Shigaraki. Both heroes are clearly reaching their limits, so expect some truly emotional and action-packed moments.
The Modern Shonen Big 3
It’s impossible not to notice: with My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen all wrapping up, we’re witnessing the end of the current generation’s “Big 3.” While Shonen Jump hasn’t officially crowned them, fans know these series have dominated anime and manga culture, much like Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece did in the 2000s. For context, both the MHA and JJK manga ended in 2024, and Demon Slayer’s anime is closing out with a trilogy of movies—the first one lands in Japan on July 18, 2025.
What’s Next for Deku and Friends?
My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) has always focused on Izuku Midoriya, a Quirkless boy in a world full of superpowers, as he works to become the greatest hero and protect the world from villains. The manga started in 2014, and the anime’s been running since 2016. Now, everything is coming to a head as the story nears its conclusion.
When and Where to Watch
There’s no specific release date yet, but season 8 is set to premiere on Crunchyroll in October. So, if you’re ready for the grand finale, keep an eye out for updates and get ready for some unforgettable moments with Deku, All Might, and the rest of U.A. High!
