Fans of My Hero Academia can mark their calendars as the English dub for the highly anticipated Final Season (Season 8) of the anime is set to debut on Crunchyroll starting Friday, October 18, 2025. This launch follows the Japanese premiere of the final season, which began airing on October 4, 2025.
The English dub episodes are expected to follow a release schedule similar to previous seasons, typically arriving two to three weeks after their original Japanese broadcast.
Where to Watch the Final Season’s English Dub
Crunchyroll, the leading platform for anime streaming outside of Asia, will be the exclusive home for the English dub of My Hero Academia: Final Season. Subscribers to the service will be able to follow the climactic battles of Izuku Midoriya and his fellow heroes as they confront the formidable forces of Tomura Shigaraki and All For One.
The Road to the Final Battle
The eighth and final season, also known as My Hero Academia: Final Season, picks up directly after the intense events of Season 7. Studio Bones is producing the series, with Kenji Nagasaki serving as chief director and Naomi Nakayama as director. The narrative continues to adapt Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga, covering the story from the beginning of the 40th volume through the end of the 42nd volume (chapters 399–431). Horikoshi himself has been heavily involved in the production, contributing new original scenes not featured in the manga.
Expected Episode Count and Conclusion
While an official episode count from Studio Bones is still pending, industry speculation, partly based on broadcast schedule conflicts with another anime, suggests that My Hero Academia: Final Season will consist of 11 episodes. If this projection holds, the series is expected to conclude around December 13, 2025. This aligns with the typical weekly release format for the anime.
The Legacy of My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia has captivated audiences worldwide since its first season aired in 2016, with its compelling story of a world where superpowers, or “Quirks,” are common, and a determined boy named Izuku Midoriya strives to become the greatest hero despite being born without one. The series has garnered a dedicated fanbase for its powerful themes, emotional character arcs, and dynamic action sequences. The Final Season promises to deliver a fitting and impactful conclusion to this epic saga.
