My Hero Academia reveals plans for the Ultra Expo in 2027, celebrating the anime’s 10th anniversary after wrapping up its final season.

My Hero Academia has confirmed that it will host a significant event to commemorate the anime's 10th anniversary following the conclusion of its final full season. The announcement was made during a special livestream in Japan, marking a continued commitment to the franchise even after the main storyline has ended. This information was first reported by ComicBook.com.
The franchise has remained active post-anime, recently showcasing a series of new projects as part of the ongoing anniversary celebration. Among these, My Hero Academia presented a new epilogue episode and a short that explored the future of beloved characters, providing closure while still engaging its audience.
Scheduled for April 7-8, 2027, the My Hero Academia Ultra Expo aims to be the largest event in the anime's history. While specific details about the activities and announcements planned for this two-day event have not yet been disclosed, the official event website promises an extensive celebration tailored to fans. Given that attendance will be limited to Japan, fans worldwide hope that some aspects of the expo will be accessible online.
In the announcement, the event symbolizes a culmination of the 10th anniversary festivities, which have included notable new releases that have kept the community’s enthusiasm alive despite the anime's conclusion. The excitement around the expo suggests My Hero Academia is committed to maintaining its fanbase's engagement.
My Hero Academia officially finished airing its final season last fall, but 2026 has seen the series proactively celebrating its decade-long journey. This includes releasing epilogues that depict the future of central characters like Deku as an adult pro hero. These releases directly draw from the final materials created by the original manga’s author, Kohei Horikoshi, keeping fans connected to the narrative universe.
As the franchise ends one chapter, it signals potential expansions beyond the original anime series, exploring new stories and ideas. Recently, Studio Bones—a prominent animation studio associated with My Hero Academia—has shown interest in further endeavors that do not simply revisit existing storylines.
While the anime concluded, the announcement of the Ultra Expo underlines that there are still many exciting developments on the horizon for the franchise. There is speculation that the studio aims to venture into new storytelling areas, with hints at fresh thematic explorations so fans can expect diverse new content. Interestingly, Kohei Horikoshi recently published a one-shot story, "Quit Laughing, Shijima," that hints at a broader thematic universe.
Given these developments, it appears that the My Hero Academia fandom can look forward to a blend of nostalgia and new experiences, making the upcoming Ultra Expo an essential event for long-time followers of the series.
The announcement of the My Hero Academia Ultra Expo for April 2027 marks a pivotal moment for the franchise as it wraps up a decade of storytelling while preparing for future projects. This event reinforces the continuing relevance and passion surrounding the series and provides an opportunity to celebrate its impact on the anime landscape. As fans anticipate what is in store for the event and beyond, it remains clear that My Hero Academia is not yet finished making waves in the anime world.
