The eighth and final season of the My Hero Academia anime television series, also known as My Hero Academia: Final Season, was produced by Bones Film and directed by Kenji Nagasaki (chief director) and Naomi Nakayama, following the story of Kōhei Horikoshi's original My Hero Academia manga series from the beginning of the 40th volume through the end of the 42nd and final volume (chapters 399–430). In July 2025, Horikoshi was confirmed to being heavily involved in the production, and would provide the new original scenes that were not included in the manga.

The season begins from where the previous seventh season left off and follows the remaining final battles between the Heroes and Villains including Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigaraki, and All Might and All For One as the fate of the world hanging in the balance. With both sides pushing themselves to the limits, Izuku is determined to save the world and become the greatest hero while depicting the future of hero society and characters' lives.
