Fans Bid Farewell To My Hero Academia As Author Dropped The Final Chapter
For instance, Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami admitted that without My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen wouldn’t have ever begun.
Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia, dropped the final chapter of his 10-year-running series on Aug 4, 2024, making fans quite emotional. This series has not only engaged them for a decade but also inspired so many artists to pick up the pen and write their own mangas.
For instance, Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami admitted that without My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen wouldn’t have ever begun.
Additionally, the themes of My Hero Academia serve as an inspiration for kids, as Horikoshi shows them how the world can be better if society helps each other more themselves rather than having a specific department for Heroes. That way, Heroes and army folks can have more free time in their hands. And that indicates how much society has progressed towards world peace, an aspect much needed in the current world, which is troubled by war and rampant hatred .
With that deep message aside, fans who have followed the series from the beginning shared their deepest emotions and thoughts and how much My Hero Academia meant to them, starting with one of the biggest fans.
This series changed my life in a way no other piece of media has ever done. It's been with me for the past 9 years and although I'm sad to see it go, I'll never forget the wonderful moments it gave me and the amazing friends it led me to meet. Thank you Horikoshi and #ThankYouMHA https://t.co/yK7qeVbXRg

What a great way to end the series. So many people blew this out of proportion, I feel. Deku still walking in All Might’s footsteps, but in a new way and everyone still doing hero work together. I love this. Goodbye, My Hero Academia. pic.twitter.com/Ig5b3fk6ut

I was the same age as Deku when I started MHA in 2016. So having Deku grow 8 years older and suddenly be the same age as me again at 24 was a shock.
It’s almost as though I grew up alongside the character. Reading this ending felt like saying goodbye to a friend. Thank you Deku pic.twitter.com/083svTdJ9r

It inspired many spin-off manga, including My Hero Academia: Smash!!, Vigilantes, and Team-Up Missions. Besides light novels, stage plays, and souvenirs, the franchise has produced many video games.
Studio Bones produced the first season from April to June 2016, a second from April to September 2017, a third from April to September 2018, a fourth from October 2019 to April 2020, a fifth from March to September 2021, a sixth from October 2022 to March 2023, and a seventh that is currently airing.

A fourth animated film, titled My Hero Academia: You’re Next, is set to be released in August 2024. A live-action film by Legendary Entertainment is in development.
Crunchyroll describes Season 1 of My Hero Academia as follows:
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
