My Hero Academia 10th Anniversary: What's Coming September 20 (All Might Nippon Special)
My Hero Academia's 10th anniversary has one more big beat left in the year: on September 20, 2026, the franchise will announce a brand-new anime project during a free YouTube broadcast. This guide lays out exactly what is confirmed, when and where to watch, what the anniversary has already delivered, and where the collectible side of the fandom stands right now.
What the new project actually is — a TV series, a film, or something smaller — has not been revealed, and the people behind it have asked fans to keep expectations measured. So below, confirmed facts and open questions are kept clearly apart.
Quick Facts: The September 20 My Hero Academia Reveal
- What: A new My Hero Academia anime project announcement
- When: September 20, 2026, 6:00 PM JST
- Where: The TOHO animation official YouTube channel (free livestream)
- Program name: “All Might Nippon YouTube Special Edition: 10th Anniversary Midterm Report”
- Hosts: Daiki Yamashita (voice of Izuku Midoriya) and Nobuhiko Okamoto (voice of Katsuki Bakugo)
- Also on the program: Live re-dubbing of fan-voted scenes, plus a look back at the anniversary's initiatives
What Is the “All Might Nippon” 10th Anniversary Midterm Report?
All Might Nippon is My Hero Academia's official web radio program, and the September 20 broadcast is a special video edition of it streamed on YouTube. In other words, this is not a full anime event or a stage show — it is a talk program built around the series' voice cast that happens to carry a major announcement.
Daiki Yamashita and Nobuhiko Okamoto, who voice Deku and Bakugo, host the session. Alongside the discussion, the pair will perform live re-dubs of the anime's most memorable scenes, chosen from fan and viewer polls that ranked one standout moment per season. The program will also recap the initiatives already rolled out for the anime's 10th anniversary before the new project is revealed.
When and Where to Watch the September 20 Special
The livestream airs September 20, 2026 at 6:00 PM JST on the TOHO animation YouTube channel, and it is free to watch. Because it is a Japan-time evening slot, overseas fans should convert carefully: 6 PM JST on Sunday, September 20 lands on the morning of the same day in the Americas and midday-to-afternoon across Europe.
If you cannot catch it live, the announcement itself will spread quickly through official channels and coverage, but watching the stream is the only way to see the live re-dub segments as they happen. There is no confirmed English simulcast of the talk portion, so plan around the Japanese broadcast.
What the My Hero Academia 10th Anniversary Has Already Delivered
The September 20 reveal is billed as a “midterm report,” which is a useful reminder that the anniversary has been a year-long campaign rather than a single event. The official 10th anniversary project has listed around 15 separate initiatives, spanning new visuals, video messages, and collaborations.
Two beats matter most for context. First, Season 8 was the anime's Final Season: produced by Bones Film, it closed with Episode 170 on December 13, 2025, ending the main TV run. Then, on May 2, 2026, a bonus special titled “More” premiered, adapting Chapter 431 — the manga's final chapter, originally bundled with the last tankobon volume — as an epilogue to the story. Crunchyroll has streamed the series outside Asia throughout its run.
The anniversary lineup has also stretched beyond the screen, including a worldwide anniversary concert tour. Taken together, the campaign has already given the story a proper send-off, which is exactly why the “new project” framing on September 20 is drawing so much attention. If the anniversary has you rebuilding a U.A. High shelf, Akibato ships My Hero Academia figures from Japan worldwide.
What Could Be Announced on September 20?
Officially, all that is confirmed is a “new project” — no format, title, or release window has been stated. That is the one fact to anchor on. Everything beyond it is speculation, and even the production side has signaled that fans should temper their expectations rather than assume a large-scale new anime.
Given the anniversary's structure, the range of realistic outcomes is wide: it could be an original story, a new adaptation of side material, a compilation or exhibition, or a smaller commemorative project. Because the source manga has concluded, a brand-new long-running TV season is not a given, and the studio has other productions in motion. The honest read is to wait for the broadcast rather than lock onto any single rumor; this article will treat any format claim before September 20 as unconfirmed, and it will be updated once the special airs.
Where My Hero Academia Collectibles Stand Right Now
Anniversary years tend to pull collectible lines forward, and My Hero Academia is no exception. The most searched-for items right now cluster around prize figures and Ichiban Kuji rather than the announcement itself, so it helps to know what is already out there before the reveal potentially adds more.
If you are mapping the current lineup, three guides cover the pieces collectors ask about most:
- My Hero Academia Class 1-A figure set — the full-class prize lineup, from All Might to Aizawa.
- Ichiban Kuji My Hero Academia “Greatest Hero” — every prize and the MASTERLISE figures to chase.
- What is MASTERLISE? — why Bandai's premium Ichiban Kuji tier is the one collectors target.
