Key Takeaways

  • A new My Hero Academia short story will be adapted into anime.
  • The story is a prologue to the upcoming movie You’re Next.
  • My Hero Academia manga will end in December 2024, with a special epilogue.

As a gamer who’s been following My Hero Academia since its early days, this news is like striking gold! The anticipation for a new OVA tied to the You’re Next movie has got me all hyped up! I remember reading the “A Piece of Cake” one-shot in that bonus booklet and being thrilled by the glimpse it gave into the events preceding the movie.

As a dedicated gamer, I can hardly contain my excitement as I share the news that a fresh, never-before-told My Hero Academia tale is set to be transformed into an anime and featured in the Japan Blu-ray/DVD release of the My Hero Academia: You’re Next movie. This isn’t just any movie, mind you; it’s the 4th film in the My Hero Academia series and it graced our screens all the way back in 2024! Can’t wait to see how this thrilling new story unfolds on the small screen.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed that the new game in this series follows an entirely fresh narrative, much like its predecessors. The creative team behind the scenes remains largely the same, with Yosuke Kuroda continuing his role as the main scriptwriter. However, there’s a significant shift in direction this time around, as Tensai Okamura (known for his work on Wolf’s Rain and Blue Exorcist) has taken over from Kenji Nagasaki.

As a gamer speaking, starting from February 19, 2025, in Japan, this home-video release is on the way. However, if you’re lucky enough to grab the deluxe edition (“Plus Ultra Edition”), you’ll get your hands on an exclusive short OVA. The animation is based on a one-shot manga called “A Piece of Cake,” penned by none other than Kohei Horikoshi himself.

What is the “A Piece of Cake” one-shot?

In this instance, you received an extra chapter as a gift for watching the Japanese cinema release of the film. This bonus material serves as a prelude to the movie and depicts Deku/Midoriya, Bakugo, and other students from Class 1-A at U.A., a setting that corresponds to the Manga’s U.A Traitor Arc. The primary villain in this story attempts to emulate a hero who is particularly revered by Midoriya.

The end of My Hero Academia manga

In August 2024, after a decade of publication, the serialization for the manga series “My Hero Academia” came to an end. The final volume, complete with a special conclusion, is set for release in December. This popular manga series from the 2010s has already secured another anime season, marking the final chapter of the story’s animated adaptation.

The narrative unfolds in a realm featuring super-powered individuals, overseen by administrative bodies. Our protagonist, Midoriya, yearns to join their ranks, yet lacks a unique ability, or as they’re known, a Quirk, until he unexpectedly inherits the powers of his idol, All Might.

In the United States, the popular “My Hero Academia” manga, as well as its related manga and novel adaptations, are distributed by Viz Media. Streaming options for the anime include Crunchyroll, where it is accessible in both subtitled and dubbed versions.
