This article contains spoilers for My Hero Academia’s manga.

Fans of My Hero Academia are bracing themselves for the anime’s finale. The series officially concludes this week with its final episode, My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 11. While viewers anticipate an emotional ending, they also expect the anime adaptation to differ from the original manga’s conclusion.

The manga series My Hero Academia concluded with chapter 430, but the story wasn’t quite finished. Creator Kohei Horikoshi added extra content, including a final chapter – chapter 431 – which was released with the final volume. This chapter provided more satisfying conclusions to character storylines, particularly for popular characters like Deku. Fans will also be able to see this final chapter adapted as part of the extra OVA episode 12 of My Hero Academia.

My Hero Academia Anime Could Conclude With Chapter 431, Divulging From The Manga

Fans have been loving My Hero Academia Season 8, which has become the highest-rated season of the series so far. Unfortunately, it’s also the shortest, and the season is ending soon. My Hero Academia Season 8 will have a total of 11 episodes, with the last one airing this weekend on December 13th.

The upcoming season, with 11 episodes, is expected to cover the manga storyline up to chapter 430 of My Hero Academia. Don’t forget about episode 12, a special episode that hasn’t been released yet, but will feature a different ending to the series.

Episode 12 of My Hero Academia will cover a special extra chapter from the manga, chapter 431. This will give fans a more complete ending to the story, showing Izuku Midoriya continuing to grow as a hero. Many are excited to see the official relationship between Izuku and Ochaco further developed in this new content.

My Hero Academia’s Manga Officially Ended with Chapter 430

The My Hero Academia manga finished its run in 2024. The story concluded in chapter 430, which jumped forward eight years after the climactic battle with Shigaraki and All For One.

Izuku, having retired from being a hero, now works as a teacher. In this chapter, he receives a special gift from All Might: a hero suit that gives him abilities similar to Quirks. This allows him to return to hero work.

This chapter was originally published in Weekly Shonen Jump as the series finale. Chapter 431 appeared later, included in the final collected volume. While some fans think Horikoshi created it in response to criticism of the initial ending, that isn’t actually the case.

The My Hero Academia anime is expected to finish with chapter 431, offering fans a more complete conclusion than the manga, including more in-depth stories about what happens to the characters afterward.

Plus, the anime will likely include extra scenes and details not found in the original story. This could significantly develop the plot and potentially pave the way for future installments, such as a film.

Fans are eager to see Deku and his fellow new Pro Heroes fighting again, something the manga didn’t fully show. A movie featuring Deku, Bakugo, and the others battling a new enemy would be fantastic. It could also be the moment Deku finally achieves his dream of becoming Japan’s top hero, potentially surpassing Mirio.

The manga series My Hero Academia recently finished its run after 431 chapters, all of which are available to read on Manga Plus. The final season of the anime is also being released, with a total of 11 episodes, and can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
