Season 6 has been confirmed to run for two cours. Typically, a 2-cour anime season runs for six months, where episodes are released every week. It is usual for such anime to take a break after finishing the first part of the season. After this, there is a gap for a few months before it resumes with the second part.

However, My Hero Academia Season 6 will not be going on such a hiatus. Following the completion of part one, it will roll into the second half of the series with a weekly episode release.

Speaking to Animedia, series producer Yoshihiro Oyabu shared a couple of preview comments on the upcoming season. Fan translations of the interview go as follows:

“Mirko & Twice who both have big scenes early on in the season. He says Mirko has great lines & action in the first episodes and Twice may be a villain but his story is heartbreaking.”

Later on, Oyabu continued:

“every episode has a big highlight scene and everyone’s favorite characters are sure to have a moment.”

The first episode of My Hero Academia Season 6 will be released shortly in a few hours. Meanwhile, eager fans can binge-watch the previous episodes to catch up on the new developments that the latest episode will begin with.
