While the world is in turmoil, at least we’ll have more episodes of My Hero Academia to look forward to soon. Based on Khei Horikoshi’s manga series of the same name, the highly successful anime series is still running after five seasons, with its sixth season set to air in 2022.
Echoing the “Paranormal Liberation War” storyline from chapters 253-306 of the manga, this season’s premiere will see the Heroes take on an all-out battle against the Paranormal Liberation Front.
It’s one of the most acclaimed arcs of the ongoing series to date, and it’s eagerly anticipated by fans after a rather divisive fifth season of the manga’s anime adaptation. Here’s everything we know so far about My Hero Academia Season 6, including its 2022 premiere date and a trailer for the season.
The Premiere Date for My Hero Academia Season 6
My Hero Academia returns in the fall of 2022, which is a long time coming, but not impossible. The announcement was made as part of the Jump Festa event in December, which showcases and celebrates all things manga and anime in their many forms.
The release date for Season 6 of My Hero Academia has been confirmed by the Jump Festa announcement, but Weekly Shonen Jump magazine recently featured the show on its cover, with the more exact release date of October 2022.
The My Hero Academia Season 6 Trailer Has Been Released
At Jump Festa, the My Hero Academia series also debuted a new Season 6 trailer. Following Season 5’s relative calm before the storm, the short video previews the upcoming conflict. Watch the clip below.
Featuring epic battles and tragic terror, the highly anticipated “Paranormal Liberation War” arc represents the culmination of all that has come before it. Watch the trailer below.
Toho and Bones have created a total of 113 episodes of My Hero Academia, all of which are accessible to stream on Funimation in subtitled or dubbed form. Toho and Bones have produced a total of 113 episodes of My Hero Academia to date.
Adolescent protagonist Izuku “Deku” Midoriya, who has long dreamed of being a hero with abilities, gains superpowers from the legendary hero All Might at the start of the series. From there, he begins training at the University of Arizona High School, which is considered the best Hero Academy in the country.
This is just the beginning. In the show’s fifth season, the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army joined forces to form the Paranormal Liberation Front. Post-credits scenes include Class 1A peering across a chasm into a metropolis populated with criminals, marking the end of Season 5.
“The catastrophic incident that would destroy superhuman civilization will finally begin” in October 2022, according to the Associated Press. Watch this short clip of Tomura Shigaraki, the head of the Paranormal Liberation Front, taking on Deku while we wait for more information.
Season 5 of the famous anime series “My Hero Academia” ended last fall, but fans are already wondering about season 6. They will have to wait patiently until October of this year for season 6 to start, but fans are undoubtedly up for a trip, based on how it left off (via Funimation).
In Season 5, Class 1-A team up with Japan’s professional superstars in their work-study programs. The protagonist of the series, Izuku Midoriya (aka Deku), teams up with his classmates Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo to train Japan’s currently ranked No. 1 hero, Endeavour, at his hero bureau.
Meanwhile, the League of Villains and its commander Tomura Shigaraki are tasked with destroying Gigantomachia. Ultimately, the League defeats the massive enemy and Tomura joins forces with the Meta Liberation Army to establish the paranormal liberation front. This has made some “MHA” fans quite anxious going into Season 6 as Tomura has suddenly become significantly stronger.
Plus, fans are apprehensive about season 6 for another reason, and it has nothing to do with the anime’s impending storyline.

Season 6 has a lot of people worried about the animation quality
As season 6 of “My Hero Academia” approaches, fans of the show are becoming increasingly anxious, and the reason for this has everything to do with the program’s animation style. To bring the manga series to life on the screen, the studio Bones has been in charge since season 1 (according to Anime News Network).
While the series has received generally positive reviews so far, fans are now concerned that the animation in Season 6 may not be up to scratch. In a Reddit thread, user u/Otherwise Egg 1756 expressed concern about the future of Bones’ translation of the manga.
They complained that “lately the animation quality seems to have declined from previous seasons”, and referred to certain “uncomfortable shots” and the use of a single frame in one scene as examples of this. In addition, the user said there was a quality change during the opening credits of Season 5 compared to the previous seasons (aka “OPs”).
Other people, like u/naul119, were quick to agree, writing, “I totally agree.” “They have to stop releasing movies in line with the seasons. The quality has suffered, as can be seen from the episodes and the openers.”
The anime’s current opening titles, according to you/Fedexhand, have become subpar, to the point where “I think Bones no longer cares about them or they don’t seem to matter that much to them.”
In the words of another user identified as you/DPTONY: “Season 6 has a lot of moments in the manga that I liked; if they mess up their animation I get mad.” Unfortunately, viewers will have to wait until October to see how Season 6’s animation compares to the previous season.
