Fans eager to experience the climactic battles of “My Hero Academia Final Season” in English can anticipate the debut of the English dub as early as October 18, 2025. While an official confirmation for the exact date is still pending, this projection is based on Crunchyroll’s consistent two-to-three-week turnaround for English dubs following the Japanese premiere of previous seasons.
The highly anticipated final season of the beloved anime officially premiered with English subtitles on October 4, 2025, with new episodes airing weekly. Crunchyroll has confirmed that the English dub of “My Hero Academia Final Season” will be part of its Fall 2025 anime lineup.
Where to Watch the “My Hero Academia Final Season” English Dub
When the English dub officially launches, it is expected to be available exclusively on Crunchyroll, the primary streaming platform for “My Hero Academia” in most regions outside of Asia. Crunchyroll has consistently delivered both subtitled and dubbed versions of the series to its global audience.
Understanding the “Final Season” Hype
“My Hero Academia Final Season” (also known as Season 8) is set to adapt the remaining chapters of Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga, bringing the long-running saga of Izuku Midoriya and his fellow heroes to its conclusion. This season will delve into the culmination of the Final War Arc and the subsequent Epilogue arc, covering approximately 31 manga chapters. Key plot points will include the intense confrontation between Deku and Shigaraki, as well as the collective efforts of the hero team to defeat All For One.
The Road to the Finale: Previous English Dub Release Patterns
Crunchyroll has established a reliable pattern for releasing English dubs for “My Hero Academia.” For instance, the English dubs for Season 6 and Season 7 typically followed their Japanese premieres by approximately two to three weeks.
- Season 6: Japanese premiere on October 1, 2022, with the English dub starting around October 15, 2022.
- Season 7: Japanese premiere on May 4, 2024, followed by the English dub approximately two weeks later on May 18, 2024.
This history strongly supports the expectation of an October 18 or October 25 release for the first English-dubbed episode of the final season, given the October 4 Japanese premiere.
The Significance of the Final Arc
The “My Hero Academia” anime has captivated audiences worldwide since its debut in 2016, chronicling the journey of Izuku Midoriya from a Quirkless boy to a formidable hero inheriting the power of One For All. While earlier seasons focused on growth and friendship, the later arcs, including the current final season, have explored darker themes of sacrifice, loss, and the complex morality of heroism. The final season promises to deliver an explosive conflict, including a pivotal showdown between Armored All Might and All For One.
As the heroes face their ultimate challenge against the League of Villains and the formidable All For One, fans are bracing themselves for a conclusion that will define the legacy of Plus Ultra. The English dub will allow a significant portion of the fanbase to experience these final, pivotal moments in their preferred language with familiar voice actors.
