Studio BONES\u2019s 6-minute anniversary short <strong>I Am a Hero Too<\/strong> began streaming on Crunchyroll from 2 August 2026 \u2014 and it completes the anime\u2019s adaptation of every page Kohei Horikoshi ever drew for the franchise.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is \u2018I Am a Hero Too\u2019?<\/h2>\n<p>The short adapts the five-page one-shot Horikoshi drew for the official fan book <em>My Hero Academia: Ultra Age<\/em>, released in December 2024 after the manga\u2019s conclusion in Weekly Shonen Jump. <em>Ultra Age<\/em> served as the series\u2019 formal goodbye, and this animated version gives that farewell the Studio BONES treatment fans have been hoping for since the main anime wrapped on 13 December 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The production team behind the main series returns: screenplay by Yosuke Kuroda, storyboard by Naomi Nakayama, direction by Tomo Okubo, and animation direction by Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima. The dub cast reprises their roles, with Justin Briner as Deku, Christopher Sabat as All Might, Clifford Chapin as Bakugo, and David Matranga as Todoroki.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TRr_dS2REo4\" title=\"My Hero Academia 10th anniversary Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>My Hero Academia 10th anniversary Trailer \u2014 via Crunchyroll on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Eri\u2019s New Chapter: What Happens in the Short<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mha-i-am-a-hero-too-teachers.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"All Might, Eraser Head, Present Mic and Eri at U.A.

Eri is now a high school student \u2014 and she wants to become a musician. Inspired by Class 1-A\u2019s legendary School Festival performance (the one where Kyoka Jiro first sang \u201cHero too\u201d), Eri has been working toward her own first street live performance, coming up that weekend. She stops by U.A. to see the teachers who helped save her, running into All Might, Eraser Head, and Present Mic \u2014 but there\u2019s one person she especially hopes to find: Deku, now working as a teacher at the school.<\/p>\n<p>The short is deliberately brief \u2014 a quiet, warm coda rather than a grand finale \u2014 but it lands as the proper goodbye to the series that the main anime\u2019s epilogue set up. No new conflicts, no world-ending threats: just Eri growing up in the world that Deku and everyone else fought to protect.<\/p>\n<h2>The Song: Eri Covers \u2018Hero Too\u2019 on the 10th Anniversary<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mha-i-am-a-hero-too-performance.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Eri singing into a microphone with a guitar at her street performance in I Am a Hero Too\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of TOHO Animation \/ BONES<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tied to the short is the release of <strong>Hero too \u201410th Anniversary ver.\u2014<\/strong>, a new recording of the iconic song now performed by the character Eri, with vocals by singer Myka Morton. The original \u201cHero too\u201d was performed by Kyoka Jiro at U.A.\u2019s School Festival in Season 4, written as an in-universe moment that became one of the most beloved scenes in the entire anime. This anniversary cover shifts the perspective \u2014 it is Eri singing the song that once inspired her \u2014 and the acoustic arrangement gives it a gentler, more emotional tone. It is now available on major music streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Creator Kohei Horikoshi also released a new illustration featuring the full main cast to mark the short\u2019s debut, as part of the ongoing 10th anniversary celebration of the anime\u2019s April 2016 premiere.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Watch in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Crunchyroll<\/strong> carries the short in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, with both Japanese audio and English dub available. It also streams on <strong>Netflix<\/strong> and <strong>Prime Video<\/strong>.
