Which Are the Longest and Shortest My Hero Academia Arcs?
In My Hero Academia, the Quirk Apprehension Test arc, i.e. the second arc of the series, is the shortest arc. The manga covers it in only three chapters, whereas the anime covered it in two episodes. It takes place after the Entrance Exam arc, and is focused on the students of Class 1-A showcasing the use of their abilities to their homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa, who threatened to expel them if he deemed them unfit to be Heroes.
On the other hand, the Final War arc is the longest arc in My Hero Academia. It spanned about 82 chapters overall. This arc was the culmination of every battle that occurred in the series so far, as it featured the final showdown between the Heroes and Villains to determine the fate of the world.
Should You Skip Any My Hero Academia Arc?
My Hero Academia is well-known for having an overall well-paced storytelling. It has an extremely small number of filler episodes here and there that fans may choose to skip. However, you shouldn’t skip any arc in particular, as each one adds valuable context to the overarching narrative.
That said, if you are short on time, you can choose to skip the Remedial Course arc, since majority of the fans consider this arc to be the most skippable out of all. This arc mainly focuses on Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and two Shiketsu High students taking a remedial course after failing the Provisional Hero License Exam. It builds on certain character aspects and serves as a breather after the impactful Shie Hassaikai arc. As such, it certainly is worth revisiting later on.
What Is the Current My Hero Academia Arc in the Anime?
The current arc adapted by Studio Bones in the My Hero Academia anime is the Final War arc. The most recent season of the anime, i.e. season 7, adapted three arcs in total. It started off with the Star and Stripe and U.A. Traitor arcs, and adapted 57 chapters of the Final War arc. To be precise, My Hero Academia season 7 adapted manga chapters 329-398 over the course of 21 episodes.
The remaining chapters of the Final War arc, i.e. chapters 399-424, will be adapted in the upcoming season 8 of the anime along with the Epilogue arc. My Hero Academia is slated for a 2025 release date window and will serve as the final season of the beloved series.
Conclusion
My Hero Academia is one of the most beloved shonen animanga series of the new generation. Although the manga’s ending ended up dividing the entire fanbase over their varying opinions, fans made sure to express their gratitude to Kohei Horikoshi for the series’ unforgettable run. While it may not seem like it at first glance, the series has a lot to offer for both action fans and those who seek complex storytelling and character arcs.
