It seems that we are coming to the end of an era in which Shūkan Shōnen Jump With several iconic magazine sleeves reaching its end. ‘One Piece’ still has a few years to go, but ‘Boku No Hero Academia’ is getting closer to its outcome and makes us wonder when we will have to say goodbye completely.
the sleeve of Kohei Horikoshi It has already entered its final stretch in 2021, and although it seems that ‘Boku No Hero Academia’ is coming to an end, it is very possible that it will still last a little longer than planned.
speaking of vignettes
The mangaka has once said that If everything goes according to plan, his intention is to finish the story by the end of 2022. and for now there is no news that he has changed his mind. What happens is that Horikoshi originally planned to close his manga with 30 volumes, but the thing has been lengthening and ‘Boku No Hero Academia’ currently has 35 compilation volumes, and what remains.
Own Eiichiro Oda He already suggested to him in a joint interview in 2018 that it might be a good idea to aim for 50 volumes, which would give him more time to close all the plots and incidentally coincide with the tenth anniversary of the publication of ‘Boku No Hero Academia. ‘.
Horikoshi at the time took it as a joke and even wondered if it could reach ten years of publication, but It has already exceeded its original plan and it should not be ruled out that the manga will still be a little longer.
Although it seems that his intention was for the end of ‘Boku No Hero Academia’ to coincide with the premiere of season 6 of the anime this fall, nothing has been officially confirmed yet, so maybe we still have to wait until 2023 to be able to read the end of the manga.
And the anime what?
This, of course, leads us to the anime serieswhich is being broadcast in annual seasons so as not to overtake the manga and since bones They can dedicate the necessary time to production.
The sixth season of the anime will cover the arc ‘Paranormal Liberation War’ of the manga, which was 54 chapters. It is very possible that the entire anime season will be devoted entirely to this arc, which would leave us the following seasons to explore the Final Act Saga.
This Saga deals with the result of the previous arc in order to head towards the outcome of the series and for now it has more than 50 manga chapters. So depending on how much Horikoshi stretches the gum and the pace of the anime when adapting, we could be talking about two more anime seasons.
The first season had only 13 episodes, but since then the following have had 25 chapters consistently. Although it has not been officially confirmed, it is to be expected that the sixth season will also have this number of chapters, and the same for the following ones. So taking account of these figures, the anime of ‘boku no hero academia it could be around 200 episodes in total by the time it’s done.
If the broadcast of the series continues as before, this would leave us with eight or even nine seasons in total, and anime until 2026… And that’s not counting the OVAS and movies in between. So even if we have to say goodbye to Midoriya, All Might, and all of our favorite heroes, thankfully there are still a few years left before we have to do it all.
