With the show’s premiere just a few days away, My Hero Academia Season 6 is confirmed to have a consecutive 2-cour release, which means its episode count and release schedule will likely be similar to the previous seasons.
The news of its 2-cour release was revealed recently in a report by Comic Natalie. This announcement was accompanied by the release of a new TV commercial which was then followed by the release of a visual featuring Shoto Todoroki.
Todoroki, along with the rest of the Class 1-A heroes, will play a big role in the upcoming season, so it’s no surprise that he got a new visual ahead of the season’s release. Plus, villains Shigaraki and Dabi also got new visuals recently.
My Hero Academia is an anime series by Bones that’s based on the manga of the same name by Kohei Horikoshi.
The manga started serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 2014, and it has since become one of Shonen Jump’s biggest hits, with the series having over 65 million copies in circulation as of January 2022.
