While we can expect a full announcement after the My Hero Academia season 7 finale – as is usually the case with popular anime shows and their renewals – the news might come as a surprise to long-term fans.

There had long been speculation that the adaptation of the manga’s final chapters would be a movie, but it appears the decision has been made to continue the anime on television.

Still, we’d expect, given how few chapters remain in Kōhei Horikoshi’s work, that this will be around a 13-episode farewell to the Quirks and quirkless alike.

We’ll have more on My Hero Academia’s endgame plans in the coming days.
