AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
My Hero Academia is releasing a new anime short titled I am a hero too on August 3, focusing on Eri's journey as a high school student and musician.
The My Hero Academia universe is expanding once again as part of its ongoing tenth anniversary celebration. Fans only have to wait two weeks to see the new anime short titled I am a hero too, which arrives on streaming platforms on August 3, 2025. According to reports from Polygon, the upcoming project adapts a bonus chapter from the final franchise data book by creator Kohei Horikoshi.
While the main series wrapped up its narrative arc with the special episode More, this new short shifts the spotlight entirely to Eri. Viewers will remember Eri as the pivotal character with the Rewind Quirk whom Deku and Mirio rescued from the Shie Hassaikai syndicate. In this upcoming adaptation, Eri is a high school student learning music under Kyoka Jiro and preparing a debut street performance dedicated to the heroes who saved her.
Even though the source material spans just a few pages, the short offers a welcome dose of emotional closure for communities that grew attached to these characters over the years. It highlights how modern anime franchises continue to use streaming platforms to deliver bite-sized epilogues and character spotlights long after the main television runs conclude.
