The wait is almost over—after nearly a decade of action, emotion, and unforgettable characters, My Hero Academia is heading into its final chapter. Season 8, officially the Final Season, will premiere on October 4, 2025, in Japan on Yomiuri TV/NTV and will be streamed on Crunchyroll the very same day in India. That means Indian fans won’t have to wait weeks or months—episodes will drop simulcast with Japan, giving us the finale in real time alongside the global fandom.
This season adapts the dramatic Final War arc, where everything Deku and Class 1-A have fought for comes to a head. It’s not just another battle; it’s the showdown that decides the fate of heroes and villains alike. Fans can expect electrifying moments like Izuku Midoriya (Deku) facing Shigaraki head-on, All Might’s last stand against All For One, and the closing moments that will tie up the legacy of the series.
What Makes Season 8 Special?
Unlike previous seasons, this one carries the weight of finality. The characters we’ve followed since 2016—Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Ochaco, and the rest—are no longer students simply training to be heroes. They’re now warriors fighting for survival in a world on the brink of collapse. Every punch, every tear, and every sacrifice is leading to one truth: this is the endgame.
The creative team is giving fans the send-off they deserve. Studio Bones returns with breathtaking animation, Kenji Nagasaki oversees as chief director, Naomi Nakayama directs, and the familiar talents of Yōsuke Kuroda (script), Yoshihiko Umakoshi & Hitomi Odashima (character design), and Yuki Hayashi (music) guarantee both consistency and brilliance. Each episode is expected to be packed with cinematic quality that elevates the story’s emotional weight.
How Many Episodes?
Though not officially confirmed, reports suggest Season 8 will likely have around 13 episodes. This shorter, focused format mirrors Season 1 and ensures the pacing is tight, with no filler dragging down the high-stakes war. Every minute counts when the story is racing toward its conclusion.
So mark your calendars, set your reminders, and get ready. October 4, 2025—My Hero Academia Season 8 premieres in India on Crunchyroll. It’s time to go Plus Ultra one last time.
