What to Know for My Hero Academia Final Season

My Hero Academia FINAL SEASONย will be directed by a returning Naomi Nakayama for studio Bonesย with Yosuke Kuroda returning to handle the seriesโ€™ scripts, Kenji Nagasaki serving as chief director, Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima providing the character designs, and Yuki Hayashi composing the music. The anime will be picking up right from where the seventh season left off as it’s going to be throwing Deku right back into the middle of the action as he’s now in a life or death fight against Shigaraki.

This wasn’t the only final battle that left fans on a cliffhanger following the end of My Hero Academia Season 7 either as the trailer also teases that we’re going to be jumping right back into the final fight between All Might and All For One. There’s no guarantee that either of them will make it out of the fight unscathed, and that’s going to be making for a very interesting finale. It’s yet to be revealed how many episodes this final season will run for, but when it comes to an end hopefully the anime also reaches a satisfying conclusion for fans.
