Production of the 5th season of the TV anime "My Hero Academia" has been decided! First visual also revealed!

Production of the fifth season of the TV anime "My Hero Academia" was announced at the ending of the fourth and final season broadcast on April 4.

The TV anime "My Hero Academia" is based on the popular comic series published by Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha), which has sold more than 24 million copies in total.

The TV anime started in 2016 and has so far aired a total of three seasons, with the fourth season starting in October 2019. The fourth season will begin airing in October 2019, and will cover the second half of the original comic's 14th volume through the first half of its 21st volume. In the "Hero Intern Arc," Deku and his team of heroes fight to the death to save a young girl, Eri, from Overhaul, the young leader of the designated enemy group, the Shitsunei Yasai-kai, and in the "Cultural Festival Arc," Deku and his team struggle to bring smiles to everyone's faces at the cultural festival. The final episode of the series, "The Last Episode," was the final episode of the series. In the final episode, the hero Endeavor, who took over the No. 1 position after the retirement of All Might, the "symbol of peace," clashes with the terrifyingly powerful enemy "Villain" High End. The battle was so powerful that fans and viewers were enthralled until the very end.

The fourth and final episode of the fourth season ended on April 4, and the decision to produce the fifth season of the TV anime was announced at the end of the episode.
