My Hero Academia has recently concluded, leaving a profound impact on its dedicated fanbase. The main storyline wrapped up with chapter 440, which was accompanied by an additional bonus chapter, 431. This special chapter depicted the characters eight years post-Final War, showcasing their personal relationships, particularly between Deku and Ochaco.
Kohei Horikoshi, the series’ creator, has expressed immense joy throughout the journey of My Hero Academia. In his message during Jump Festa, he conveyed a deep attachment to the characters and hinted at future content in various forms, ensuring fans that the story isn’t entirely over.
My Hero Academia’s Conclusion: Heroes Prevail
- Deku successfully defeats All For One.
- A fresh order is established.
The climactic finale of My Hero Academia unfolded earlier this year, culminating in the end of the Paranormal Liberation Front during the Final War. This confrontation featured pivotal battles amongst beloved characters, resulting in the heroes’ victory. All For One was vanquished, and although Shigaraki perished, it left a bittersweet feeling for Deku. Notably, Deku also relinquished the power of One For All, achieving peace across Japan.
In a significant leap forward, the narrative included an eight-year timeskip, revealing Deku as a new teacher at UA High School, while his friends grew into their roles as heroes. Equipped with a special hero suit, Deku’s return to heroism resonated with fans, culminating in an exhilarating final panel of chapter 430 where all heroes prepared for their next steps.
Moreover, chapter 431 of My Hero Academia, released alongside the last volume, further explored Deku and Ochako’s evolving relationship, confirming their official dating status. As they navigate this new chapter, Deku has committed to continuing his role as a UA teacher while his peers also progress in their hero journeys.
Horikoshi’s Jump Festival 2025 Announcement
Horikoshi Confirms MHA Will Progress
During Jump Festa 2025, My Hero Academia showcased an array of exciting new projects. However, the most significant revelation came from Horikoshi himself, who announced the continuation of the MHA universe. In a heartfelt message, he expressed gratitude to fans for their unwavering support throughout the years.
It’s December, and it’s gotten way colder now. I hope everyone is still as good as before!
My Hero Academia manga has ended. Thank you for cheering me on and reading the series all these years. And even if you weren’t cheering me on but reading the manga anyway, I will always be forever grateful.
Since the manga serialization has indeed ended, I’ve grown to love these characters a lot more than I thought, and it gives me a sense of emptiness to know that the series is finished.
However, I have a ton of light-hearted illustrations and “shouto”(katakana for the word ‘short’) manga that I’m working on at the moment, and I’ve been spending blessed time doing that instead.
Ah, by “shouto manga” I don’t mean “Shouto Manga, aka Todoroki-kun manga,” I mean actual short manga panels.
I also revealed a new illustration for the Genga Illustration Exhibition that will be happening next year, and I just might be working on even MORE PLUS ULTRA illustrations. I hope you enjoy them when they are revealed!
The anime also still has one more season left. When Season 1 aired, I honestly had no idea that it would run for this long. And we’re going to have a Vigilantes anime too! I can’t wait to cheer them on with the rest of you as well!
Man, this message ended up looking like something I wrote in my schedule book.
I really want to look back at the series and share more thoughts about it, but I guess I’ll plan to put it in the manga volumes for Vigilantes later.
Anyway, let’s talk about future plans for the My Hero Academia series!
In short, My Hero Academia will still continue! Deku and the others will always do their best for you all and for me too, so I hope you continue to support them from here on out!
In times like these, please take care of yourselves and stay PLUS ULTRA!

With Horikoshi’s confirmation of My Hero Academia‘s ongoing journey, fans are brimming with excitement. This continuation promises to delve deeper into Deku and the other Pro Heroes’ adventures, revealing new challenges and character developments to look forward to.
Anticipating the Future of My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia Will Introduce Multiple One-Shots
It is crucial to understand that while the main MHA manga will not continue in its serialized form, the series is far from over. Horikoshi is planning to release illustrations and short comics, which will serve as one-shots focusing on various characters, expanding their narratives in unique ways.
At this juncture, Horikoshi’s priority lies in taking time to recover before embarking on new projects. Nevertheless, he may occasionally share new chapters that build upon the existing storyline and character arcs, satisfying the eager fans who continue to support his work.
Fans can anticipate fresh content from My Hero Academia as soon as 2025, though specific dates remain uncertain. Updates and announcements from Horikoshi are likely to appear in Shuiesha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, heightening excitement for the year ahead. Enthusiasts should prepare for a delightful array of short comics and potentially even animated films in the near future.
Volume 42 of My Hero Academia is now available in Japan, with the English version expected to hit shelves in 2025.
