Is My Hero Academia Season 7 the anime’s final season?

My Hero Academia Season 7 took us into the Final War, but is this going to be the last season of the anime show?

After a long wait, My Hero Academia Season 7 arrived with a bang, bringing the best superhero anime back to our screens with a vengeance. Star and Stripe took on Shigaraki and All Might, and things only got bigger and better from there for Deku and Class 1-A.

The My Hero Academia anime has been going on for quite some time. Having been released in 2016, the series has gone on to become one of the best anime ever with multiple seasons. The series also has three anime movies in its arsenal, with a fourth, titled My Hero Academia: You’re Next, upcoming.

Season 7 will be adapting multiple story arcs including the Final War Arc of the manga. This, coupled with the many seasons of the anime, has raised the question whether this will bring My Hero Academia to a close.

Is My Hero Academia Season 7 the final season?

My Hero Academia Season 7 is not the last season of the anime. There’s still a lot of the manga to adapt.

My Hero Academia Season 7 adapts the Star and Stripe Arc, the U.A. Traitor Arc, and the start of the Final War Arc. Given the length of the arc in the manga, we can safely say that Season 7 will only get to adapt a small part of it, half at most.

How many seasons of My Hero Academia will there be?

We expect there to be at least eight seasons of My Hero Academia. It all depends on what the plan is for the Final War Arc.

Bones may choose to depict the climax in movie form, similar to Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. Given the overall length of the Final War, the likelihood is we’ll still get at least one season before that happens, even if slightly truncated at around 12 episodes.

The Final War Arc began in 2022 and ran for 81 chapters, so there’s a lot to get through. So, we can expect My Hero Academia Season 8, and possibly more, depending on franchise plans.
