About My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia follows Izuku Midoriya, born without powers ("quirks") but determined to become the greatest hero. U.A. High School trains a new generation of heroes, with Deku inheriting One For All from All Might. Season 8 adapts the Final War arc: The last stand between heroes and villains, Manga Chapters 391–398.
In Episode 8, expect the aftermath of Bakugo’s reckless rescue of All Might, the next phase for Shigaraki, and Deku being forced to make tough choices. Bakugo’s return was a shock, sparking heated debate about pacing and animation that could see that play out onscreen this Saturday.
