My Hero Academia Season 6 Announced, See Which Arc It Will Cover

TOHO Animation has revealed that a sixth season of the popular and critically acclaimed anime series My Hero Academia is on its way.

The announcement came after the finale of the 25-episode long fifth season that recently aired in Japan. In the final moments of the last episodes, a voice over from series lead Izuku Midoriya warns about a battle against the Paranormal Liberation Front that will be a "major incident that will shake superhuman society."

Readers of the manga will know that this tease means that the new season will be following the "Paranormal Liberation War" arc from the original manga. This arc is a turning point in the series with the ramifications of it still being felt in the manga as a large-scale war that breaks out between the heroes and villains of the world. In the manga, this arc also acts as the final one for the larger "Rise of Villains" saga. Along with the tease at the end of the last episode, a teaser trailer was uploaded on both TOHO's official YouTube channel and the My Hero Academia Twitter page, teasing the battle that is to come in the next season.
