My Hero Academia is just days away from kicking off its final season, and fans got their first official look at the premiere along with a tease of a huge battle ahead. The eighth season will start on October 4th.

The first episode of Season 8 is titled “Toshinori Yagi: Rising Origin,” and it focuses on Armored All Might facing All For One in what promises to be a climactic showdown. The anime has shared a sneak peek at the episode, giving fans a glimpse of the action-packed fight that will set the tone for the season.

The final season will be available for streaming outside Japan on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Returning from earlier seasons, the voice cast will reprise their roles, keeping the familiar voices that fans have grown to love.

Music will also play a big part in the finale. BUMP of CHICKEN will perform the ending theme, “I,” while P*** Graffitti, who contributed to the original series, returns for the opening theme, “The REVO.”
