My Hero Academia storms back with a surprise. The franchise concluded an eleven-year run across manga and anime on December 13, 2025, with IMDb scores above 9.0, a 9.6 finale, and a new development proving the ending was never final.

My Hero Academia surprises fans with the announcement of an epilogue OVA titled More. It will follow Izuku Midoriya and Class 1-A eight years after U.A. High graduation. The episode will ensure all the loose ends left by the finale will be properly taken care of.

Toho is complementing the OVA with a major 2026 concert tour celebrating ten years of the My Hero Academia anime. The live events not only honor the franchise’s legacy but also amplify excitement for the OVA. These surprises were announced at the Jump Festa 2026.

Titled More, the epilogue OVA will premiere on May 2, 2026, streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll outside Asia. By combining narrative continuation with celebratory performances, My Hero Academia ensures the story extends beyond its final season.

As the surprise episode looms, fan theories spiral into intricate predictions about what could upend the story.

What could the My Hero Academia OVA entail?

The OVA, titled More, is set to provide closure for the romance between Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka. After years of focusing on their duties as a teacher and Pro Hero, they are expected to have a heartfelt conversation. Inspired by a dream of Himiko Toga, Ochaco will finally accept her feelings, and the two will be shown holding hands.

The episode is anticipated to confirm the new hierarchy of the Pro Hero world. Mirio Togata, also known as Lemillion, is expected to be revealed as the Number 1 Hero, while Shoto Todoroki will rise to Number 2. Other characters, including Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, Mezo Shoji, Koji Koda, and Hitoshi Shinso, are projected to advance in their adult careers and Pro Hero roles.

The OVA is also expected to provide closure for the League of Villains. Toya Todoroki, known as Dabi, is confirmed to have passed away during the eight-year timeskip following the final war. By depicting a stable peace with fewer villains, the episode sets the stage for potential future projects. This speculation includes rumors about future movie sequels.
