A new teaser trailer for My Hero Academia season 6 was released on February 4, 2023, announcing the adaptation of the Black Hero Arc in the anime. This is arguably the most anticipated arc of the manga and will see Deku going rogue, shifting the tone of the entire anime.
The latest episode 18 of My Hero Academia season 6 showcased Deku meeting with past heroes who have used and developed the power of One for All. Their meeting led to the bombshell exposition that Deku might be the last user of the One for All quirk, putting even more responsibility on his shoulder. The episode ended with the subtitle "The Final Chapter Starts."
The next episode, which is scheduled to be released on February 11, 2023, will mark the beginning of the Black Hero Arc or the Dark Deku Arc.
