My Hero Academia Reveals a New Side of an Older Deku

My Hero Academia is rising from the ashes like a phoenix; while the anime has officially wrapped up, it marks the dawn of a new chapter as the series celebrates its 10th anniversary. To kick off the festivities, the show’s social media accounts unveiled a fresh adult version of Deku alongside his mom, welcoming the new year and honoring this significant milestone. Fans got a sneak peek of Deku’s new look during the series finale, which provided a heartwarming epilogue featuring Izuku and Class 1-A eight years after their final showdown with the villains.

If that brief reveal left you wanting more, there’s exciting news: a new episode will delve into the hero world following the series’ timeskip from the finale. My Hero Academia episode 170+1, titled “More,” will adapt the extra epilogue chapter that accompanied the final manga volume, released months after the anime concluded in weekly Shonen Jump. This episode is set to premiere in Japan on May 2.

In addition to the “More” episode and a final season tribute, a global concert tour has been announced as part of the 10th-anniversary celebrations, kicking off in 2026. Fans can also look forward to the premiere of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes season 2 on January 5 on Crunchyroll, so there’s still plenty to enjoy.

A spokesperson expressed pride in celebrating a decade of My Hero Academia with fans worldwide, highlighting that this milestone represents not just ten years of unforgettable stories, heroic characters, and epic battles, but also the immense support and passion from the global audience.

The English voice cast of My Hero Academia found it just as tough to say goodbye; many shared the emotional farewell with fans they had journeyed alongside for years.
