Hold onto your Quirks, anime fans! On June 19, 2025, Crunchyroll dropped the main trailer for My Hero Academia Final Season, and it’s a pulse-pounding preview of the series’ climactic end. Set to premiere on October 11, 2025, on Crunchyroll worldwide (excluding Asia), Season 8 promises a jaw-dropping finale as Deku faces off against Shigaraki. With a new opening theme by a yet-unrevealed artist, this trailer has fans screaming for the ultimate hero-villain clash.
Unveiled at a “Hero Day” celebration in Japan, the trailer dives into the Final War Arc, showcasing Studio BONES’ stunning animation. Izuku Midoriya (voiced by Daiki Yamashita) and Tomura Shigaraki (Kōki Uchiyama) dominate the spotlight, their battle teased with explosive action. Armored All Might’s showdown with All For One, left hanging in Season 7, gets new footage, hinting at an extended fight. The trailer keeps the epilogue under wraps, fueling speculation about whether the anime will adapt the manga’s two new epilogues from Kohei Horikoshi’s 2024 finale.
Directed by Naomi Nakayama, with Kenji Nagasaki as chief director, the returning team includes Yosuke Kuroda (scripts), Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima (character designs), and Yuki Hayashi (music). My Hero Academia follows Deku, a Quirkless boy turned hero, training at U.A. High to defeat villains. Season 8 wraps the manga, which ended in August 2024 with over 100 million copies sold.
Catch the trailer on Crunchyroll’s YouTube and prep for October 11, 2025, when My Hero Academia Final Season streams weekly, same-day as Japan. Rewatch Seasons 1-7 or My Hero Academia: Vigilantes on Crunchyroll to tide you over. With a panel at Anime Expo 2025 featuring Deku’s voice actors, more surprises await. Get ready for a heroic finale that’ll leave fans cheering!
