‘My Hero Academia’ to Celebrate 10th Anniversary With New Episode, Global Concert Tour

Toho has revealed celebrations for the 10th anniversary of “My Hero Academia The Animation,” unveiling plans for a new episode, global concert tour and commemorative visual at Jump Festa.

The milestone anniversary arrives as the anime adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi’s manga reaches a significant chapter in its history. The series, which premiered in April 2016, aired its final episode on Dec. 13 following eight seasons and 170 episodes across a decade-long run.

A brand-new episode titled “More” will premiere May 2, 2026, streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide outside Asia. The episode adapts content from the manga’s 431st chapter, which appeared exclusively in the final volume, following protagonist Deku and his classmates eight years after their graduation from U.A. High School. The episode expands the narrative beyond the anime’s original conclusion.

The series follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers in a world where 80% of the population possesses abilities called Quirks, as he trains at U.A. High School to become a professional hero. The story chronicles Midoriya and his classmates as they develop their abilities and navigate the challenges of hero society.

“We are incredibly proud to celebrate ten years of ‘My Hero Academia’ with fans around the world,” a Toho spokesperson said. “This milestone represents not only a decade of unforgettable stories, heroic characters, and epic battles, but also the incredible support and passion of our global audience.”

Toho also unveiled “My Hero Academia in Concert,” a world tour featuring composer Yuki Hayashi’s music paired with scenes from the anime. The tour launches May 30, 2026, at Pacifico Yokohama before expanding internationally.

At Jump Festa, Toho debuted the official 10th anniversary logo and teaser visual. The anniversary visual, produced by Bones Films and illustrated by longtime character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, showcases 10 versions of Deku across his evolution as a hero.

The anniversary follows a landmark year for the franchise. Horikoshi’s manga, which has sold 100 million copies worldwide, concluded its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in August after a decade-long run. The anime adaptation includes four feature films alongside its television run.

The official anniversary celebration begins April 3, 2026, marking exactly 10 years since the anime’s first broadcast. Toho indicated that today’s announcements represent the initial wave of anniversary plans, with additional projects, collaborations and events to be revealed throughout 2026.
