My Hero Academia’s Final Episode “More” Promises a True Ending
While the free streaming event celebrates the past, the upcoming finale looks firmly toward the future. Episode 170+1, “More,” will stream exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide (excluding Asia), delivering what is being positioned as the definitive conclusion to the anime adaptation.
The episode draws directly from the epilogue included in My Hero Academia Volume 42, which expands on the original ending. Set eight years after graduation, the epilogue offers deeper closure for Izuku Midoriya and his classmates, addressing unresolved storylines and character relationships left open in the initial finale.
One of the most notable additions is the long-debated relationship between Deku and Ochaco Uraraka, a storyline that had sparked discussion among fans after being largely sidelined previously. By adapting this epilogue, the anime aims to deliver a more satisfying and emotionally complete conclusion.
