The My Hero Academia anime may have aired its final episode in December 2025, but the franchise’s milestone 10th anniversary is still very much in full swing. Today, TOHO animation dropped a brand-new special video — My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary PLUS ULTRA MOVIE “You Can Be a Hero” — on YouTube, giving fans worldwide a sweeping recap of Izuku “Deku” Midoriya’s journey set to the iconic track “You Say Run.” For Singapore fans who grew up cheering on Class 1-A, this one hits differently.
Watch the 10th Anniversary PLUS ULTRA Movie
The video — released today on TOHO animation’s official YouTube channel — traces Deku’s path from quirkless kid to Symbol of Peace, stitched together from eight seasons of standout moments. It is free to watch right now, wherever you are.
A Decade of Plus Ultra: How We Got Here
The anime first aired on 3 April 2016 in Japan, adapting Kohei Horikoshi’s manga from Weekly Shonen Jump. Over eight seasons and 138 broadcast episodes, the series followed a world where most people are born with “Quirks” — superpowers — and the one boy born without one who still dreams of becoming the greatest hero. By the time Season 8 concluded on 13 December 2025, the show had become one of the defining anime of its generation.
In early 2026, at the 10th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, the final season took home Anime of the Year — a fitting send-off, and a testament to how deeply the show resonated with audiences globally, Singapore included. Walk into any anime merchandise store on our shores and the Class 1-A crew is still holding prime shelf space.
The “More” Epilogue Episode — And Why Asia Missed Out
One of the biggest anniversary announcements was Episode 170+1, titled More — a bonus epilogue adapting Chapter 431 of the manga, set eight years after the main story and showing a grown-up Deku and his classmates in their adult hero lives. It premiered on 2 May 2026 on Crunchyroll.
The catch? Crunchyroll’s rollout explicitly excluded Asia. Singapore fans who wanted to watch it day-one had no official streaming option in-region. Whether a Southeast Asia release window is coming has not been confirmed by Crunchyroll or TOHO animation at the time of writing — we will update this post if that changes.
My Hero Academia in Concert — A World Tour Is Underway
Beyond the screen, the 10th anniversary is getting a live orchestral treatment. My Hero Academia in Concert kicked off on 30 May 2026 at Pacifico Yokohama in Japan, with composer Yūki Hayashi — the man behind the series’ stirring score — leading live performances accompanied by scenes from the anime. The tour expanded internationally with U.S. dates confirmed for Fall 2026.
Asia tour dates beyond Japan have not been announced yet. Singapore fans who want to be first in line when (and if) local or regional dates drop should follow the official My Hero Academia X account and keep an eye on event ticketing platforms. Given the franchise’s strong regional fanbase, an Asia leg would not be a surprise.
What Singapore Fans Can Access Right Now
- Seasons 1–8 are available on Crunchyroll in Singapore.
- The 10th Anniversary PLUS ULTRA MOVIE video is free on TOHO animation’s YouTube channel.
- Episode 170+1 “More”: currently unavailable in Asia via official streaming — to be confirmed.
- “My Hero Academia in Concert” world tour: U.S. dates live, Asia dates to be announced.

Last words
Ten years is no small thing in anime. My Hero Academia ran the full distance — eight seasons, a completed manga, a global fanbase — and the anniversary celebrations are a genuine tribute to what the series meant to so many of us. Singapore fans have been with Class 1-A from the start, whether we caught it on Crunchyroll, hunted down the manga volumes at Kinokuniya, or argued over best-girl picks at AFA. Today’s free anniversary video is a gift to every one of us. Go watch it.
