"My Hero Academia" TV Anime 10th Anniversary Project Launches! New Initiatives Revealed, Including Animation of Additional "More" Episode

On April 3rd, exactly 10 years since the first broadcast of the My Hero Academia anime, the "My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary" project officially kicked off with a special event, unveiling a wave of new initiatives.

Written by Kohei Horikoshi and serialized for 10 years in Weekly Shonen Jump (published by Shueisha), the hit series My Hero Academia (commonly known as "MHA") has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation worldwide. Set in a world where supernatural abilities known as "Quirks" are the norm, the story follows Izuku Midoriya (Deku) as he strives to become a "Hero" capable of protecting society from "Villains" who abuse their powers. The series depicts his growth alongside classmates at the prestigious U.A. High School. The TV anime adaptation reached its grand finale in December 2025 with the conclusion of the "FINAL SEASON," ending a decade-long run of 170 episodes across eight seasons.

Despite being born "Quirkless," Deku never gave up on his dream of becoming a hero. His innate heroism caught the eye of All Might, the "Symbol of Peace," who chose Deku to inherit his Quirk, "One For All." After years of hard work and battles alongside his classmates, they finally defeated the Demon Lord All For One in the FINAL SEASON. The story concluded with Deku and his friends heading toward the future, a finale that drew tears and acclaim from fans both in Japan and overseas.
