My Hero Academia Confirms Crunchyroll Release Date for Anime’s Real Finale

by

Although the My Hero Academia anime recently finished airing its last episode of the current season, there’s one more episode coming to serve as the true series finale. The final season concluded this fall after 11 episodes, bringing the total anime run to 170. While the last episode showed a promising future for Izuku Midoriya and Class 1-A, fans will soon get to see more of it with the upcoming special episode.

During the Jump Festa 2026 event in Japan this weekend, it was announced that My Hero Academia will return for a special final episode. This episode will take place after the events of the main anime series and will expand on the story following the time skip at the end of the TV show, offering a true conclusion to the series. Fans can watch it on Crunchyroll this spring.

When Does My Hero Academia’s Anime Return to Crunchyroll?

Fans of My Hero Academia can look forward to a special new episode, titled “More,” on May 2nd of next year. This episode, numbered 170+, will adapt chapter 431 of the original manga—an epilogue released with the final volume—and will be available on Crunchyroll outside of Japan. It will show what happens with Deku and his friends eight years after the events of the main story, expanding on the original ending.

As a huge fan, I was so excited for this final epilogue chapter! It felt like a real ending to the series, tying up loose ends from character stories that weren’t quite finished in the original finale. Honestly, ever since the announcement of the final season, fans like me were really hoping they’d adapt this! Plus, it’s amazing to finally see Deku and everyone all grown up – something the original ending just didn’t give us enough of. It’s just a really satisfying conclusion!

What’s Next for My Hero Academia?

The world of My Hero Academia has a lot in store for 2026, starting with a new concluding episode. Plus, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is returning with a new season this January, and the entire anime franchise will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. According to a representative from Toho, they’re thrilled to mark a decade of My Hero Academia with fans globally.

The statement highlighted that this anniversary marks ten years of memorable stories, inspiring characters, and thrilling battles, all made possible by the incredible support of fans around the world. A world tour featuring music from My Hero Academia is also planned to begin next spring, with details to be announced soon.
