Fans did their farewells for one of the biggest shonen series of the last decade, My Hero Academia, earlier this month. With a short, but amazing final season, My Hero Academia blew fans away. While fans bid farewell to the story, they also knew more content was on the way. My Hero Academia fans were awaiting more information about the future of the series, and Jump Festa 2026 just delivered that.
MHA kickstarted Jump Festa this year, and it looks like 2026 is going to be phenomenal for the series. MHA’s final episode, which some refer to as MHA Season 8 Episode 12, is officially releasing next year on May 2nd.
My Hero Academia’s New Episode “More” will Officially Cover Chapter 431 of the Manga
The release date for My Hero Academia’s new episode wasn’t the only piece of information revealed at Jump Festa. It was also quite clear to see that this episode would take the fans on a ride, with their favorite characters as adults.
Best Female Characters In My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia is packed with iconic female characters, and that includes both heroes and villains. Here are the best MHA girls.
Furthermore, fans now know exactly what it will cover. My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 12, of the special episode titled “More”, will cover the events of MHA’s extra chapter that was released with its final volume, MHA chapter 431.
MHA chapter 431 jumps 8 years into the future, and showcases the characters and their progression in life, as well as their Hero career.
Extra Content Like The One Shot Could Potentially be Included
Fans are excited to see MHA chapter 431 animated, but one chapter is very little content for a whole episode. With that in mind, it is likely that anime-only content will be added to stretch it out. Some also believe MHA’s last one-shot could be brought to life in this episode as well. Fans could get to see Eri’s short story, written by Horikoshi, being adapted into the anime as well.
My Hero Academia is a story of Heroes in a world where special powers, called Quirks, are bestowed upon people at birth. In a world where Heroes and villains fight, Deku aims to become the greatest Hero of all time like his idol, All Might. The My Hero Academia manga concluded with 431 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters can be found on Manga Plus. My Hero Academia is also airing its final season, which will consist of 11 episodes in total. The series can be watched on Crunchyroll.
