My Hero Academia 10th Anniversary: Every Event and Release

Updated: 8 November 2026. We’ll update this page after the Jump Festa stage on 19 December.

The My Hero Academia TV anime started in 2016, and its 10th anniversary celebration is now in full swing. The story itself is finished, but the franchise isn’t going quiet: there’s a live concert this month, a final manga box set, a big Jump Festa stage in December and a new exhibition in 2027.

Here’s every confirmed date, in order, plus what fans hope comes next.

What’s happening for the MHA 10th anniversary?

The celebration runs from 2026 into spring 2027. Highlights include the ANI-ROCK FES. Plus Ultra Live concert in Tokyo (22–23 November 2026), Viz Media’s final box set (24 November), a My Hero Academia stage at Jump Festa 2027 (19 December), a new exhibition in Japan from 2027, and an “Ultra Expo” on 17–18 April 2027.

Anniversary calendar at a glance

Plus Ultra Live concert (22–23 November)

The biggest event this month is a two-day music festival, ANI-ROCK FES. 2026 My Hero Academia Plus Ultra Live. It brings together artists who performed the anime’s theme songs for live sets at the Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium in Tokyo, on Sunday 22 and Monday 23 November 2026.

If you can’t be in Tokyo, keep an eye on the official My Hero Academia anime accounts for any streaming or Blu-ray announcements after the shows.

Box Set 2: the final volumes (24 November)

Viz Media’s second box set arrives on 24 November 2026. It collects volumes 21 to 42, which finishes the main story in English. It also includes a full-colour double-sided poster and an exclusive 48-page booklet.

Paired with the first box set (volumes 1–20, released in October 2022), it completes the series on one shelf. It’s an easy gift pick for the holidays.

Jump Festa 2027 stage (19 December)

My Hero Academia has its own stage at Jump Festa 2027 on 19 December 2026, as part of the Jump Super Stage line-up. Jump Festa stages are where Shueisha’s big series usually reveal new projects, so fans are watching this one closely.

Nothing has been announced in advance. We’ll update this section the same day with whatever is revealed.

New exhibition and Ultra Expo (2027)

Two more events will close out the anniversary year in Japan:

• A 10th anniversary exhibition starting in 2027, focused on the anime’s biggest moments and artwork. A first-look poster featuring Izuku Midoriya, the heroes, Tomura Shigaraki and the villains was revealed in early November 2026.
• An “Ultra Expo” on 17–18 April 2027 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, planned as the big finale of the anniversary celebration.

The exhibition’s venue and dates haven’t been confirmed yet. We’ll add them here once they are. For the Ultra Expo, the official site lists the first advance ticket sale from 13 November 2026.

What has already happened this anniversary year?

The celebration started early in 2026. Here’s what’s already out:

United Survival was a hit straight away. It passed 800,000 pre-registrations before launch and reached No. 1 on the App Store’s top free games chart. The whole game is built around upgrading characters’ Quirks between runs, which is why searches for Quirks have stayed strong this year. New to the power system? Our complete guide to My Hero Academia Quirks explains how they work.

Is the My Hero Academia anime really over?

For now, yes. The TV anime ran from 2016 to its eighth and final season in 2025, adding up to 170 episodes plus several films. The bonus episode My Hero Academia: More then adapted the extra chapter from the final manga volume, and the Eri short used the last remaining manga material.

Creator Kohei Horikoshi has also moved on to new work, including a one-shot in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2026. That’s why the Jump Festa stage matters: if any new animated project is coming, that’s the most likely place to hear about it.
