My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode Count

My Hero Academia's Final Season Will Be Amazing

  • My Hero Academia Season 8 will have 12 episodes
  • My Hero Academia Season 8 is the last one

One of the questions that fans have about the final season of MHA is how many episodes it will have. Fortunately, the answer has already been disclosed. My Hero Academia Season 8 will run for 12 episodes in total. It is worth mentioning that there is no information about the finale being covered in a double episode. However, there will be more clarity once the anime nears the end of the eighth season.

My Hero Academia's final season will be a genuine contender for the Anime of the Year Award. Studio Bones has always delivered on expectations, so it's highly unlikely that the eighth season's quality will be compromised. The anime is also extremely popular, so a lot of viewers will be voting for it when the nominees are announced. However, it won't be an easy win for My Hero Academia because there are other titles that are competing for the same honor.

Even if MHA doesn't win the award, fans shouldn't be disappointed, as it isn't indicative of a series' quality. For instance, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End lost the award to Solo Leveling, even though the former was superior in almost every way. Frieren even dethroned Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood from the top spot on MyAnimeList. The award only offers a popularity boost, helping the anime reach a broader audience. Therefore, My Hero Academia fans shouldn't be too miffed if the series doesn't win.

My Hero Academia Vigilantes Will Full The Void

Following the conclusion of My Hero Academia Season 8, fans will obviously feel that something major has gone missing from their lives, but they can look forward to other projects related to the anime. For starters, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 has already been announced, which is set in the same universe.

It is produced by Bones Film, a subsidiary of Studio Bones. The first season of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes aired in April 2025, and it was immediately renewed for a second. The story was excellent, and the characters were also interesting, which is why viewers enjoyed it so much.

My Hero Academia Season 8 is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
