After almost a decade, My Hero Academia is officially ending.
The popular anime series, created by Kōhei Horikoshi, centers around Izuku Midoriya (also known as Deku), a boy living in a world where most people have superpowers, but he was born without one.
He dreams of being a superhero, and that dream comes true when the world’s most famous hero, All Might, notices him and invites him to attend a school designed to train future heroes.
The show has ended, and there won’t be a new season. Here’s the reason why fans won’t be seeing any more episodes of this popular anime.
Why won’t there be a My Hero Academia season 9?
After eight seasons, the anime successfully adapted the complete story from Horikoshi’s manga. Season 8 covered the final chapters, along with some extra content, to provide a satisfying conclusion.
When you consider how long some anime series last, 10 years isn’t actually that long. Popular shows like One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach have been running for many decades.
Finishing the anime was likely challenging, particularly because the manga’s ending received a lot of criticism from fans who disliked the story’s pace and how Deku’s journey concluded.
It’s amazing to spend ten years inhabiting a character, and we actors were so grateful for the rich development the creators gave them.
Christopher Wehkamp (Eraserhead) explained that after being involved for a long time, he’s come to realize shows often find a way to return. He believes the large fanbase and importance of My Hero Academia mean there’s always a possibility of it continuing in some form.
If you’re a fan of My Hero Academia, you’ll be happy to know there’s a spin-off series called My Hero Academia: Vigilantes that expands on that universe.
Premiering in April 2025, the show takes place five years before the story of My Hero Academia. It centers on Koichi Haimawari, who uses his abilities to help people even though he isn’t an official hero. The second season is scheduled to come out in 2026.
My Hero Academia is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
