If you need another dose of My Hero Academia in the meantime, then its spin-off🐼 series Vigilantes drops on April 7.
My Hero Academia season 8 story: which manga chapters is it adapting?
My Hero Academia season 8 will pick up where the previous season left off and will adapt the remainder of the Final War arc (chapters 398-424 of Kohei Horikoshi's manga) and the Epilogue arc (chapters 425-430).
While we're reluctant to get into spoiler territory given how the majority of anime watchers may not have caught up with all the source material, 🉐the 'Final War' label given to the last major arc should give you some indication that we're currently in the midst of the ultimate battle between the Heroes (such as All Might and Deku) and Villains (Shigaraki and All For One, to name but a few).
My Hero Academia has recently said goodbye to Toga, who sacrificed her life to save Ochago thanks to her Quirk – essentially a blood transfusion. All Might and All For One's city-razing battle also continues, with the previous season showing All Might gaining the upper hand but All For One frustrating the villain by remaining resolute – and laughing during the fight. Deku, meanwhile, also has his own final bat♏tle to contend with, as he's going one on one with Shigaraki and is struggling to gain tౠhe upper hand.
Essentially, then, My Hero Academia season 8 comes down to a final showdown between the h🦋eroes and those in Class 1-A, and the Paranormal Liberation Front with the world at stake. No pressure…
My Hero Academia season 8 episode count
There's been no talk of the My Hero Academia season 8 episode count just yet, though a cursory glance at the manga's remaining 30-or-so chapters gives🦹 us a clear indication of what to expect.
Taking into account that the previous season (roughly) adapted three manga chapters per episode, we predict around 13 episodes to wrap everything up – especially if ♚you consider the high likelihood of some original anime material to flesh out some major characters and their final moments.
Fittingly, that's the exact same amount of episodes that were in My Hero Academia's🐬 v𒉰ery first season, way back in 2016.
