New Visual Released for My Hero Academia "More" Special Episode: A First Look at the Heroes' Future!
The time for farewell has not quite arrived for My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) fans! Following the final season of the series, which aired at the end of 2025, the long-awaited key visual for the special episode titled "More," which will put a real period on the story, has finally been shared. This new visual has caused a huge stir on social media by offering the first concrete clues about the adulthood of Izuku Midoriya and his friends in Class 1-A.
Produced by Studio BONES, this special episode will bring to the screen the "extra epilogue" found in the 42nd volume of Kohei Horikoshi's phenomenal manga, corresponding to chapter 431. The story focuses on exactly 8 years after graduation from U.A. High School. We will have the chance to see how our characters, now adults and professional heroes, live their lives in this new world that is full of peace but also full of responsibilities. Seeing Deku, especially in his new armored suit, has already excited manga readers.
The timing of this special episode is also quite significant. Prepared specifically for the 10th anniversary of the date the anime series first began airing, "More" will meet the audience on May 2, 2026. As it will be remembered, the 8th and final season of the series was aired in the final months of 2025 and ended with a major emotional explosion. However, the anime version did not fully cover this time-skip portion at the very end of the manga; this special episode will fill that critical gap.
As the final link in a 10-year adventure, this production is not just a single episode; it also serves as a "thank you" in which the series creator Kohei Horikoshi was personally involved in the production process. With this special episode, which will be broadcast worldwide via Crunchyroll, we will bid farewell to the My Hero Academia universe in the most magnificent and complete way possible. We recommend you do not miss the final stop of this journey from the hero academy to the professional world!
