My Hero Academia will return for a sixth season.

The popular superhero shonen anime confirmed another season on its official Twitter account shortly after the 25th and finale episode of Season 5 aired. The new season will adapt the Paranormal Liberation War arc from the manga, which sees the world's pro-heroes and the students of U.A. High School engage in an all-out war with the Meta-Liberation Army, a group that has united all of the show's supervillains under the leadership of the twisted Tomura Shigaraki. A short video clip for the announcement of Season 6 teases a long awaited showdown between Shigaraki, who is the protege of the villain All For One, and the series' self-sacrificing and entirely wholesome protagonist, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, who has inherited the powerful One For All Quirk.

The final episode of Season 5 aired in Japan on Sept. 25 and closed out a season that was marked by an overall mixed reaction from fans and an increased level of drama surrounding the show's production, including an animator asking to have their name removed from the show's credits, and the need to censor some of the manga's more gruesome moments to meet broadcast standards.

Despite those issues, Kohei Horikoshi's super hero franchise remains as popular as it ever was, with the third and latest movie in the franchise, World Heroes' Mission, vastly outperforming the previous two movies in terms of box office performance in Japan. The movie sees Deku and his U.A. classmates Bakugo and Todoroki on the run from the law after Deku is framed for murder. The three heroes slip into new, stealthier black costumes and recruit the help of old friends and new heroes from around the world in order to clear Deku's name and stop a dangerous cult that wants to destroy the world's Quirks. Funimation will give the movie a limited theatrical run in the United States and Canada on Oct. 29.

Funimation will also host a panel for My Hero Academia featuring the show and movie's English dub cast at the upcoming New York Comic-Con. The anime company will also host a variety of other events at the convention, including a free party for subscribers to its streaming service, as well as a screening of the Demon Slayer movie Mugen Train, which will feature special appearances from the movie's English voice cast.

Past seasons of My Hero Academia, including the now completed Season 5, are available for streaming on Funimation and Crunchyroll.
