The final chapter of My Hero Academia is shaping up to be one of the most intense arcs in anime history. Following the broadcast of Episode 162, titled The Final Boss!, the production team released a brand-new visual featuring Bakugo locked in a dramatic face-off against All for One. The tagline on the poster reads, “Explode, my Quirk,” perfectly capturing the spirit of one of the franchise’s most explosive characters.

Bakugo Takes The Spotlight

The visual puts Bakugo front and center, surrounded by roaring flames and energy — a powerful symbol of his growth and determination. Since his introduction, Katsuki Bakugo has evolved from a hot-headed rival to a complex, deeply driven hero in his own right. This face-off against All for One represents more than just a battle; it’s the culmination of his long journey toward proving his worth and protecting everything he stands for.

The episode also premiered a new version of the opening sequence titled Type-Z, along with a Bakugo character trailer that celebrates his evolution throughout the series. These releases have sent fans into a frenzy, marking this as one of the most talked-about moments in the anime’s final stretch.

The Creative Power Behind The Final Season

Directed by Naomi Nakayama under chief director Kenji Nagasaki, My Hero Academia Final Season continues to be produced by Studio Bones — the powerhouse known for its dynamic animation and emotional storytelling. The series composition is handled by Yosuke Kuroda, with Yoshihiko Umakoshi returning for character design and Yuki Hayashi once again delivering an emotionally charged score.

Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga has already reached its final arc, and the anime is carefully adapting every key moment leading to its grand conclusion. Fans can expect a perfect balance of heart-pounding battles, emotional payoffs, and stunning animation as the saga nears its end.

Crunchyroll Brings The Action To Global Fans

Crunchyroll continues to simulcast My Hero Academia Final Season worldwide, allowing fans to experience each new episode as it airs in Japan. The platform also houses the complete My Hero Academia library — including past seasons, movies, and specials — making it the ultimate destination for both new and returning fans.

The series follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without powers in a world where 80 percent of the population has superhuman abilities called quirks. Despite his lack of powers, Izuku dreams of becoming a hero — a journey that has inspired millions across the globe.

As My Hero Academia races toward its explosive finale, this new Bakugo vs All for One visual is a bold reminder that the end of an era is near — and it’s going out with a bang.
