Nevertheless, while the My Hero Academia manga has ended, the animated series is still awaiting its final season, My Hero Academia Season 8. MHA's final season will feature the biggest fights in the entire series, and with its release date now edging closer, fans are wondering how many episodes the final season will be. While it isn’t officially confirmed, My Hero Academia Season 8 is rumored to have only 11 episodes, which is quite little content to look forward to.

My Hero Academia Might Only Run for 11 Episodes

Another Anime Will Take MHA’s Slot on December 20

As stated, My Hero Academia’s final season might only be getting 11 episodes. There has been no official statement about this, but fans have quickly noticed that another anime series is scheduled in MHA’s time slot from December 20 onward. Since My Hero Academia Season 8 starts on October 4, 2025, the math checks out. There are only 11 weeks between those two dates, meaning 11 episodes in total.

Why Is MHA’s Final Season Only 11 Episodes?

Lack of Content to Animate For The Final Season

Fans might wonder how 11 episodes are even enough for MHA’s final season, but it all makes sense. If anything, 11 episodes is more than what some fans anticipated. Currently, the MHA manga has only 33 chapters that haven’t been adapted into the anime. With 11 episodes, that averages 3 chapters per episode, a solid number. The truth is, the anime just doesn’t have enough content to make it more than 11 episodes. There are a few battles to cover, such as:

• All Might Vs All For One
• Bakugo Vs All For One
• Deku Vs Shigaraki/All For One
• Epilogue content

Many fans would also like the epilogue animated. That is still doable, even with 11 episodes. It’s also possible that the final episode will be longer than usual as a farewell to this iconic series that will be missed by fans all around the world.

The My Hero Academia manga has concluded. The story features 431 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters can be found on Manga Plus. When it comes to the anime, the series is still awaiting its final season, which will be released later this year. The series can be watched on Crunchyroll.
