For fans, this update is disheartening, and that is little surprise. My Hero Academia has pulled fans in week after week with its intriguing plot. Episode 78 is especially important as it marks the start of a new arc, and fans were looking forward to the debut given how heavy season four started.
It will not take too long for My Hero Academia to get back on track, so fans can mark their calendars for February 8. The delay will last just over a week, and audiences can always check out the subbed version of episode 78 on Funimation or Crunchyroll. And if you’re determined to wait, then you should know All Might would surely be proud of your PLUS ULTRA patience!

My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he’s eventually scouted by the world’s best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes.
