My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode Count Might Have Been Revealed

This article contains spoilers from My Hero Academia’s Final War arc manga.

Over the past year, numerous beloved Shonen manga have come to a conclusion, among them being “My Hero Academia” by Kohei Horikoshi. In the year 2024, this popular series wrapped up along with others like “Jujutsu Kaisen”. This development left many fans feeling disheartened, particularly those who felt unsatisfied with the final resolution.

Although the “My Hero Academia” manga has concluded its story, the animated series is yet to release its last season, known as “My Hero Academia Season 8“. This final season promises some of the most epic battles in the entire series, and with its launch date getting nearer, fans are curious about how many episodes the final season will consist of. However, there hasn’t been an official confirmation; instead, it is speculated that “My Hero Academia Season 8” might only have 11 episodes, which could be a relatively small amount of content to anticipate.

My Hero Academia Might Only Run for 11 Episodes

Another Anime Will Take MHA’s Slot on December 20

According to speculations among fans, it seems that My Hero Academia’s final season might comprise just 11 episodes due to another anime series occupying its timeslot starting from December 20 onwards. Given the start date of Season 8 (October 4, 2025), and considering there are only 11 weeks between this date and the aforementioned timeslot changeover, it’s plausible to assume that the season will consist of exactly 11 episodes in total. However, an official confirmation regarding this is yet to be made.

Why Is MHA’s Final Season Only 11 Episodes?

Lack of Content to Animate For The Final Season

As an ardent fan, I can understand the curiosity and even concerns about only 11 episodes for My Hero Academia’s final season. However, let me reassure you that this might just be more than we initially expected! You see, the MHA manga boasts a whopping 33 unadapted chapters yet. Given 11 episodes, each episode averages approximately 3 chapters – a substantial amount!

The reality is, the anime simply doesn’t possess enough content to extend beyond these 11 episodes. There are several significant battles lined up, including:

  • All Might Vs All For One
  • Bakugo Vs All For One
  • Deku Vs Shigaraki/All For One
  • Epilogue content

Many viewers express interest in an animated version of the epilogue, and it’s feasible to achieve this within the existing 11 episodes. There’s a chance that the last episode may extend beyond its typical length as a heartfelt sendoff to this globally adored series that fans everywhere will surely miss.

The manga series My Hero Academia has come to an end, encompassing 431 chapters that fans can now delve into. These chapters are available for reading on Manga Plus. As for the anime adaptation, its final season is yet to be released this year, but eager viewers can catch up on earlier episodes via Crunchyroll.
