‘My Hero Academia’ Celebrates 10th Anniversary With New Episode

Toho Unveils Plans for 10th Anniversary of “My Hero Academia The Animation”

As part of the celebrations for the 10th anniversary of “My Hero Academia The Animation,” Toho has announced exciting plans that include a new episode, global concert tour, and commemorative visual at Jump Festa.

The milestone anniversary comes as the anime adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi’s manga reaches a significant chapter in its history. Since its premiere in April 2016, the series has aired its final episode on Dec. 13, concluding eight seasons and 170 episodes over a decade-long run.

A brand-new episode titled “More” is set to premiere on May 2, 2026, exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide outside Asia. This episode will adapt content from the manga’s 431st chapter, offering a continuation of the story eight years after the graduation of protagonist Deku and his classmates from U.A. High School.

“My Hero Academia” follows the journey of Izuku Midoriya, a boy without superpowers in a world where most of the population possesses Quirks. The story revolves around Midoriya and his classmates as they train at U.A. High School to become professional heroes, developing their abilities and facing the challenges of hero society.

Toho has also announced “My Hero Academia in Concert,” a world tour featuring composer Yuki Hayashi’s music paired with scenes from the anime. The tour will kick off on May 30, 2026, at Pacifico Yokohama before traveling to international locations.

During Jump Festa, Toho revealed the official 10th anniversary logo and teaser visual. The visual, created by Bones Films and illustrated by character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, showcases 10 versions of Deku representing his evolution as a hero.

This anniversary follows a significant year for the franchise, with Horikoshi’s manga reaching 100 million copies sold worldwide and concluding its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in August. The anime adaptation has also seen the release of four feature films alongside its television run.

The official anniversary celebration will begin on April 3, 2026, marking a decade since the anime’s first broadcast. Toho has hinted at more anniversary projects, collaborations, and events to be announced throughout the year.
