The highly anticipated English-subtitled main trailer for the eighth and final season of the My Hero Academia anime has officially been unveiled, confirming that the popular band Porno Graffitti will perform the opening theme song, titled “THE REVO.” This announcement comes as fans gear up for the climactic conclusion of the long-running superhero saga, set to premiere on October 4, 2025.
A Full-Circle Musical Return for the Final Season
The selection of Porno Graffitti for the final season’s opening theme holds significant resonance for long-time fans of My Hero Academia. The band previously performed “The Day,” the very first opening theme for Season 1 of the anime. This return marks a “fitting full-circle moment” as the series prepares to conclude, bringing back a musical act that helped launch the anime’s journey. The new song, “THE REVO,” was previewed within the recently released English-subtitled trailer.
Glimpse into the Final War Arc
The new trailer provides a compelling look into the intensity awaiting viewers in the final season. It features a series of flashback sequences before diving headfirst into the explosive climax of the “Final War arc.” The footage heavily emphasizes the overwhelming menace of Tomura Shigaraki, with Class 1-A uniting behind Izuku Midoriya as humanity’s last hope against destruction.
Premiere Date and Global Streaming Details
The My Hero Academia final season is slated to begin its broadcast on October 4, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. JST (4:30 a.m. EDT) on YTV and NTV’s affiliate channels in Japan. For international audiences, Crunchyroll has confirmed that it will stream the anime globally, excluding Asian territories, as it airs simultaneously with the Japanese broadcast. This ensures that fans worldwide can follow Deku’s ultimate battle as it unfolds.
Returning Production Team and Fan Engagement
The production team behind the acclaimed anime series will largely remain consistent for this concluding season. Chief director Kenji Nagasaki, director Naomi Nakayama, script supervisor Yōsuke Kuroda, character designers Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima, and composer Yuki Hayashi are all returning to their roles at studio BONES.
