Along with the release date announcement, Bones also revealed the latest key visual for season 6. As with previous trailers and visuals for the season, the poster depicts the heroes ready to face off against the villains of the Paranormal Liberation Front. Furthermore, the announcement Tweet mentions that the upcoming season will cover the “All-Out War” arc of the manga.
The key visual features protagonist Deku alongside Todoroki and Bakugo, as well as the series’ primary antagonist Tomura Shigaraki in the background. Yoshihiko Umakoshi, the character designer for the anime, helped design the key visual with the help of Bones. Umakoshi has worked with the anime adaptation since 2016 as well as its various film adaptations, as well as other series such as Berserk and HeartCatch PreCure!
My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble, a free-to-play battle royale game, is also expected to release sometime in Fall 2022. The game features dozens of characters from the series fighting in teams of three. Bandai Namco held several beta tests for the game, and the next beta test will start in August 2022. The manga series is slated to end sometime in 2022.
My Hero Academia season 6 will begin airing on October 1, 2022, at 5:30 PM Japan Time. There is no confirmed streaming platform or English dub.
