My Hero Academia Season 8 adapts the end of Kohei Horikoshiâs original manga, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. It will stream on Crunchyroll, which describes the anime:
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his lifeâa lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. Thatâs right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered âquirk,â Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But thatâs not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the worldâs most prestigious hero academies.
