My Hero Academia continues to surprise fans with its epic final season as the final battle against All For One grows more intense. The final arc is the most brutal and longest arc in the series, where the Heroes are pushed to their limits during the long battle, suffering injuries and an unimaginable number of casualties. The final season is receiving countless praises for its epic animation as the animators show excitement over drawing the hype scenes in the story. After 10 years of serialization, the manga reached its conclusion last year, and the anime isn’t that far behind. As soon as the final season began, Katsuki Bakugo, who was believed to be dead in Season 7 after being pierced in the heart by Tomura Shigaraki, made his return.

His unexpected comeback wins the viewers’ hearts as he once again joins the battlefield and fights All For One after saving All Might’s life. Although the final season hasn’t revealed the episode count yet, it will probably release about 11 to 13 episodes, considering that the story is nearing its end. Additionally, even though the studio didn’t reveal the episode count, the official website of the anime revealed that the final season’s Blu-ray will be released in two volumes. While the anime is nearing its end, one of the largest annual anime and manga conventions in Japan has exciting news in store for fans.
