The epic finale of the beloved superhero anime, My Hero Academia, continues to unfold as its eighth and final season marches on. With the fate of the entire world hanging in the balance, the climactic battle between heroes and villains reaches new heights of intensity.
When and Where to Watch in the UK
For dedicated fans in the United Kingdom, the next chapter is just around the corner. Episode 7 of season eight is scheduled to arrive for streaming on Saturday mornings. Following its initial broadcast in Japan at 5:30 PM Japan Standard Time, the episode becomes available for UK viewers at 9:30 AM on the same day.
The primary platform for international fans to follow the action is Crunchyroll, with Hulu also streaming the series in the US. It is worth noting that the season eight premiere was marred for some by technical issues, including significant delays and missing subtitles on Crunchyroll. Subscribers will be hoping these problems have now been fully resolved for a smoother viewing experience.
What's Next in the Final Season?
This final run of episodes is adapting the concluding chapters of the original manga, covering the intense Final War arc and the forthcoming Epilogue arc. Our heroes are engaged in their most difficult struggle yet, a conflict that will ultimately decide the future of hero society.
The upcoming episode, which is expected to be titled 'From Aizawa', promises to deliver more of the action and emotional depth the series is known for. While the exact total number of episodes for season eight has not been officially confirmed, previous seasons have varied in length, offering a substantial story to come.
Music and Themes of the Final Season
The soundtrack for this grand conclusion is in capable hands. The opening theme song, 'The Revo', is performed by Porno Graffitti, the same band that provided an opening for the show's very first season, creating a fitting sense of closure.
Meanwhile, the ending credits feature a song called 'I' by Bump of Chicken, setting the tone for the emotional aftermath of each episode's events as the series moves towards its ultimate conclusion.
