My Hero Academia Is Officially Back For a Season 6 OVA

Like so many before it, ‘My Hero Academia’ started as a manga before it was translated into a highly successful anime series. The show first launched in 2016 and has gained millions of fans across the world in the years since.

Series six wrapped up in March 2023, and fans have been on the edge of their seats waiting for updates and a new series ever since. Now, ‘My Hero Academia’ is officially back for a season 6 OVA - and we finally have a release date. The best bit? We really don’t have long to wait to see what the latest season has in store.

The series has long followed a world filled with superheroes

Those unfamiliar with ‘My Hero Academia,’ where have you been? The anime has long been ranked as one of the most popular as it follows a world where around 80% of people live with superpowers, known as Quirks. Of course, not everyone has been granted with the gift, even though they have become pretty commonplace at this point, and Izuku Midoriya is still determined that he can become a hero himself, despite the fact he’s missing a Quirk. The anime follows the life of Izuku at UA high school, where he hopes to learn everything he needs with his classmates about becoming a hero, but only time will tell if his plan works.

The world learned season seven is already in the works earlier in 2023

Season 6 of ‘My Hero Academia’ came and went at the start of 2023, and amazingly, fans weren’t left wondering if another season would be on the way. That’s because season seven was confirmed in the finale of the last season, but that’s not all. There have already been three highly successful ‘My Hero Academia’ movies to hit the big screen, and we now know a fourth is in the works. Still, it’s the season 6 OVA - an Original Video Animation - that really got people talking.

My Hero Academia fans can witness the first screening at NYCC

Want to be the one to see season 6’s OVA of ‘My Hero Academia’ before anyone else? You might want to try and get your hands on tickets to New York Comic Con. It was announced the first all-new episode will be aired here on Friday, October 13, 2023, to excited fans in the first world exclusive. In fact, it will be shown here before the episode even screens in Japan. If you’re worried about how it will play out, it’s also been announced that the latest episode of ‘My Hero Academia’ will be shown in the English dub.

Teasers have been released about what to expect from the OVA

Little is known about what we can expect from the season 6 OVA of ‘My Hero Academia,’ but we have had a few clues about what’s on the way. We know that Mirio Togata will visit Class 1-A as they’re bored because they’re not allowed outside. Here, he introduces them to a card game made by the support course called UA Heroes Battle, but it’s tough. Who will win? Only time will tell.

If you can’t make it to the screening of season 6’s OVA of ‘My Hero Academia,’ have no fear. It’s not just limited to NYCC, as it will later be released on Crunchyroll. While there’s no official release date just yet, we’re sure it won’t be long before the rest of the world gets to enjoy the latest installment in the franchise, too.
