In this article, we are going to tell you everything you need to know about the dubbed version of the sixth season of My Hero Academia.
The dubbed version of My Hero Academia was officially released by Crunchy roll on October 15, 2022, at the same time when Episode 3 premiered in Japan. The dub thus appeared two weeks after the original version on Crunchyroll, which is also streaming the aforementioned original Japanese version for international audiences, including both North America and Europe.
The rest of this article is going to bring you all the known and unknown information related to the dubbed version of the sixth season of My Hero Academia. You’re going to find out about its release date, whether there is a trailer, what the story will be about, and much more about one of the most popular anime series of the modern era.
My Hero Academia Season 6 dub release date
Season five of My Hero Academia ended its run on September 25, 2021. At the end of that episode, it was confirmed that the series would return for a sixth season, which wasn’t really a surprise, seeing how popular the show was. Now, initially, the anime series revealed very little information, so we had to wait until December’s Jump Festa ’22 event to get some new info.
During the event, it was confirmed that My Hero Academia would be returning quite soon, with the season scheduled for a Fall 2022 release, which is a bit later than usual, since the five seasons that have aired have mostly premiered during the spring season of their respective years. Sometime during the spring, it was confirmed that the series would be returning on October 1, 2022, which is a great start for an anime-filled month, knowing that Bleach, Chainsaw Man, and Mob Psycho 100 are also going to premiere during October.
My Hero Academia was thus the first among the lot and when the series began, everyone was quite excited. Crunchyroll had confirmed the release of a dubbed version, but fans initially had no idea when, until it was officially announced that the dubbed version of Season 6 would premiere two weeks after the original version’s first episode.
The date was, thus, set for October 15, and indeed, with the release of the original version’s Episode 3, the first dubbed episode of My Hero Academia was also released. This two-week timeskip is nothing unusual and dubbed versions usually premiere a couple of weeks after the original version if they are released on a weekly basis.

My Hero Academia Season 6 plot
We now know that the sixth season of My Hero Academia will adapt the “Paranormal Liberation War“, which is the manga’s penultimate narrative arc. In order to prepare you for the show, we are going to give you a brief introduction to what happens in this story arc.
As winter break comes to an end, Tenya Iida wishes her classmates a Happy New Year and announces that everyone should be prepared for their hands-on reports to show off what they have learned during their internships and experiences. Denki Kaminari notices that Tenya is more excited, to which he replies that he has started to feel more flexible thanks to his work-study and instruction.
Shota is about to ride with them when she suddenly gets a call from the department office. In the girls’ dressing room, Toru Hagakure comments on how good Ochaco Uraraki’s new costume looks, while Kyoka Jiro comments on her new heavy shoulder pads which she shows have metal ropes in them that she can use and also uses her gift to counter their weight.
While Mina Ashido is playing with one of the guards, something falls out of him. This is the All Might key ring that Izuku Midoriya gave her for Christmas, much to her embarrassment. Mina teases Ochaco for this, but Uraraka dismisses any of these thoughts. Meanwhile, in the boys’ locker room, Eijiro Kirishima praises Izuku for taking control of Blackwhip, to which Izuku tells him that he can only handle it for a while and that it doesn’t have many uses yet, but considers it a strong gift.
Katsuki hits Izuku on the head with the mask, saying he hates it, shocking everyone when Midoriya bleeds. As the students go outside, they find All Might making cotton candy and trying to tell a joke that goes through their heads. They ask where is Shota, who according to All Might had a sudden departure. In the car, more and more agitated, Shota and Present Mic head to Tartarus.
The two wonder if what they were called to do is just a big misunderstanding when they arrive and meet Naomasa Tsukauchi and Gran Torino. Naomasa reminds them of the nature of Nomu, modified human bodies created to take advantage of many quirks, but their hearts and brains are twisted, so they are not considered living creatures, but ordinary puppets.
However, they discovered something that changes the situation drastically. They enter Kurogiri’s cell, where they tried to interrogate information about the League of Villains, however, he always only talks to them about useless things and locks them up when the topic is brought to the League. Impatiently asking what’s going on, Gran Torino reveals that his Gift of Warp is the culmination of many of the Gift Factors, with the main factor strikingly similar to the Gift of someone they both know: their old friend and classmate Oboro Shirakumo.
As Shota ponders how Oboro was crushed by a collapsing building during their high school internship, and how they initially planned to create an agency together, Naomasa continues that they theorize that Kurogiri is a Nomu made of Oboro’s body as a base. Present Mic is stunned by this discovery, unsure how to get the information, while Gran Torino thinks about how All For One once said that the best Quirks have always flocked to U.A. Tall, believing he replaced the body before cremation…
This was just a short introduction, as we never intended to spoil the whole thing for you but we wanted to give you an introduction so you know what to expect in case you haven’t read the manga.
