My Hero Academia is currently hard at work at returning with Season 7 of the anime, but the franchise will be returning with a new anime special before that with a special premiere at New York Comic Con 2023 later this year! My Hero Academia Season 6 set up quite the slate of final battles for Izuku Midoriya and the other young heroes in the coming episodes, but the anime will be taking a break from all of this intensity with a new special episode releasing in between the seasons. Coming our way later this year, My Hero Academia‘s young heroes will be playing a card game!
My Hero Academia Season 6 has announced a new OVA anime special now in the works, and Crunchyroll has revealed that they will be hosting the world premiere of the English dub release of My Hero Academia UA Heroes Battle on Friday, October 13 during a panel at New York Comic Con 2023.
