My Hero Academia keeps pushing its boundaries further and further with an exciting new release coming in September 2026. While the world-famous superhero anime has already concluded its main story in December 2025, the franchise continues to celebrate its major milestones. In honor of its 10th anniversary, My Hero Academia is preparing to reveal an exciting new release this month, giving fans another reason to look forward to the beloved franchise.
The timing of the release has caught the attention of My Hero Academia fans, who have continued to follow the franchise beyond its traditional manga and TV anime releases over the years. The announcement comes at an interesting time for the franchise, as activity around My Hero Academia has gradually begun to slow down following the conclusion of its main anime story in December 2025. With this new release set to be announced, the My Hero Academia franchise appears to have more planned for its 10th anniversary year. However, the caveat is that My Hero Academia fans will have to wait until mid-September for the first video concerning this 10th anniversary special release.
My Hero Academia continues to mark 10 years since the anime first premiered. Over the past decade, the series has grown into one of the biggest modern anime franchises, introducing fans to characters such as Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki. To celebrate 10 years of the My Hero Academia anime, Banpresto is preparing a new series of crane game figures featuring the students of Class 1-A. The upcoming collection is particularly special because it marks the first time the entire class has been featured together in a single figure series. A new image has also been released showing the complete collection when the figures are placed together. While fans will have to wait a little longer to collect the full set, the project is already giving fans a look at how the figures will appear when displayed together.
The project also has a special website dedicated to the anniversary figures. According to the announcement, new updates will be revealed on the 16th of each month, which has been dubbed “Hero Day.” The first update will arrive on September 16 with a special video showing the making of the figures. The figures will not be released as one complete set, however. Instead, individual figures will be available as prizes through crane games across Japan starting in 2027.
Crunchyroll streams the My Hero Academia anime along with its specials, movies, and other content from the franchise. The anime is described as follows:
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
While My Hero Academia has received this exciting project as part of its 10th-anniversary celebrations, legendary manga creator Kohei Horikoshi has moved on to a new story primarily aimed at a teen audience. Following the conclusion of his long-running superhero manga, Horikoshi has explored a very different genre with his latest horror one-shot, giving fans a chance to see what the creator can do outside the world of My Hero Academia.
