For over five months, fans have followed the adventures of the students of the Second A of the Yuei High School (or U.A.) in season 7 of My Hero Academia. A season that was awaited by many, since it finally began to adapt the Final Battle arc, which is none other than the last narrative arc of the manga.

And while Kōhei Horikoshi's now cult work concluded this summer with chapter 430 of the manga, it's season 7 of the anime produced by Bones that has just ended today with the release of episode 21 (i.e. episode 159), with the formidable All For One facing All Might and his brand new armor.

Fans are therefore more than impatient to see the continuation of the final fight between the heroes and the super-villains, and this is why the anime has already given news concerning the next season. Indeed, we know that season 8 of My Hero Academia is scheduled for 2025.
