My Hero Academia was completed on August 4, 2024. After a decade of covering 430 chapters, Izuku Midoriya has fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming the greatest hero. But it was not a smooth ride as he had to sacrifice One for All for victory over the villains. He has become quirkless once again, and after a time-skip of 8 years, he is seen to be guiding the next generation of heroes at U.A.
However, the fans were not satisfied with the conclusion. They believe that Kohei Horikoshi could have done a better job. After its conclusion, My Hero Academia revealed that the franchise will announce something of greater importance on August 5, 2024. Since it had a mediocre end, the fans wish it was an announcement of a sequel.
My Hero Academia’s Time Might Not Be Up Yet
My Hero Academia has announced that something bigger will be announced on August 5, 2024. The fans were surprised to hear the revelation since it is to be announced just a day after its conclusion. There are several theories surrounding the announcement. But the fans think that the announcement could be about a sequel.

Kohei Horikoshi might be following the Big Three’s footsteps. The time skips and the sequel ideas match Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece and Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto Shippuden. The fandom had high hopes for Kohei Horikoshi, but the conclusion disappointed them. They even made fun of the ending on social media.
My Hero Academia belongs to the Shonen genre, and having a Shonen touch in the end could have made it perfect. The fans were especially upset with Deku. Not only did he not end up with Ochaco Uraraka, but he also lost his quirk and had to get a battle suit to continue working as a hero.
But after the latest announcement, the fans have their fingers crossed. While the announcement of a sequel seems possible, it could also be the announcement of a movie or season 8. Everyone is wishing for the first to happen since it could potentially undo the damage of the conclusion. Even social media has erupted and wants a “My Hero Academia Shippuden.”
Fans React to My Hero Academia Announcement
My Hero Academia announcement on August 5, 2024, has everyone excited. Kohei Horikoshi might have something special in store for the fans. In the last chapter, he teased an aspiring Hero, Dai, who could become the protagonist along with Deku. Social media was flooded with comments regarding the sequel and shared their opinions about the announcement.
One of the X (formerly Twitter) users said, “This ending ain’t an ending, throw us the MHA Shippuden right now because lots of things are missing, and I have a lot of questions ffs.”

There is a big announcement coming up for MHA on August 5th, so I am going to assume that it would be a Shippuden-style sequel. I mean…Horikoshi even implied that Deku's father will show up in an interview or something but he never did so…

A MHA shippuden would be cool.
But I hope Hori’s next work is horror. His art slaps and would be amazing in a horror series.
My Hero Academia has a lot of unanswered questions. If the announcement is indeed a sequel, it could make up for everything. But right now, everything is just theories. Until 5th of August comes, no one can be certain.
My Hero Academia can be streamed on Crunchyroll, and the manga is available on Viz Media.
