High was over, Kohei Horikoshi has one more gift for us. A brand new <em>My Hero Academia<\/em> anime short focused on Eri is coming \u2014 and it&#8217;s premiering at <strong>Anime Expo 2026<\/strong> this July.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">The dust had barely settled. Two weeks ago, we said goodbye to <em>My Hero Academia<\/em> after eight years, 159 episodes, and more emotional damage than any shonen has a right to inflict. Fans were already entering the post-MHA void, wondering what comes next. And then today, Crunchyroll dropped the news: <strong>&#8220;I Am A Hero Too&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 a brand new anime short \u2014 will premiere at <strong>Anime Expo 2026<\/strong> in Los Angeles. If this is your first time here, <a href=\"https:\/\/anime-roulette.com\/blog\/2026\/04\/24\/welcome-to-the-anime-roulette-blog\/\" style=\"color: #E76F51; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\">welcome to the Anime Roulette blog<\/a> \u2014 and if you&#8217;re still grieving the finale, this is the news you needed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 1.8rem; color: #E76F51; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(244,162,97,0.2);\">What Is &#8220;I Am A Hero Too&#8221;?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">The anime short adapts the <strong>Eri-focused one-shot chapter<\/strong> from <em>My Hero Academia Fan Book: Ultra Age<\/em> \u2014 a commemorative fanbook written by <strong>Kohei Horikoshi himself<\/strong> that went on sale exactly one year ago on May 2, 2025. The chapter, titled <strong>&#8220;I Am A Hero Too,&#8221;<\/strong> follows Eri in a story set after the events of the main series, exploring her life and growth following everything she endured.<\/p><div id=\"anime-1554156249\" class=\"anime-test-placement-from-wizard-3287579770 anime-entity-placement\"><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'cedb99f94d0bf354eaf358aee87e4e55',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highperformanceformat.com\/cedb99f94d0bf354eaf358aee87e4e55\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(244,162,97,0.06); border-radius: 12px; padding: 24px 28px; margin: 30px 0; border-left: 4px solid #2A9D8F;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 1.05rem; font-style: italic; color: #4A4A5A;\">&#8220;The anime will adapt the Eri-focused fanbook chapter.&#8221; \u2014 Crunchyroll Official Announcement<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">This isn&#8217;t filler. This isn&#8217;t a side project by a secondary team. This is Horikoshi&#8217;s own story, brought to life by the same animation team that carried the main series through to its conclusion. For a character who became one of the emotional pillars of the entire franchise, getting a dedicated short is exactly the send-off Eri deserves.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 1.8rem; color: #E76F51; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(244,162,97,0.2);\">When and Where to Watch<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">The world premiere will take place at <strong>Anime Expo 2026<\/strong>, running <strong>July 3-6, 2026<\/strong> at the <strong>Los Angeles Convention Center<\/strong>. Crunchyroll has confirmed they will host the premiere as part of their MHA programming at the event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">For those who can&#8217;t make it to Los Angeles, don&#8217;t worry. A wider release through <strong>Crunchyroll<\/strong> is expected to follow shortly after the premiere, likely later in <strong>Summer 2026<\/strong>. The short will almost certainly stream worldwide on the platform, just like previous MHA OVAs and specials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\"><strong>Anime Expo 2026<\/strong> tickets are available now through the official Anime Expo website. If you&#8217;re planning to attend, MHA panels are historically among the most popular events at the convention \u2014 expect long queues and an electric atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 1.8rem; color: #E76F51; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(244,162,97,0.2);\">Why Eri Deserves This<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">If you&#8217;re reading this and thinking &#8220;of all the characters, why Eri?&#8221; \u2014 let me remind you why this small horned girl matters so much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">Eri was introduced in the <strong>Shie Hassaikai arc<\/strong> (Season 4) as a child whose quirk, <strong>Rewind<\/strong>, allowed her to reverse a living being&#8217;s body to a previous state. Her adoptive &#8220;father,&#8221; the villain <strong>Overhaul<\/strong>, used her as a tool to create quirk-erasing bullets \u2014 by disassembling and reassembling her body over and over again. She was five years old. She had spent her entire life in pain, believing she was cursed, convinced that her existence only brought suffering to others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">And then <strong>Deku<\/strong> and <strong>Mirio Togata<\/strong> came for her. The rescue of Eri remains one of the most emotionally devastating and uplifting arcs in modern anime. Mirio losing his quirk to save her. Deku breaking his own body at 100% to reach her. And that smile \u2014 the first genuine smile Eri had ever given anyone \u2014 when Deku finally took her hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">Throughout the rest of the series, Eri became one of the most important characters in the entire story. Her quirk <strong>Rewind<\/strong> saved multiple heroes, including Deku himself during the Paranormal Liberation War. But more than her power, she represented what MHA was always about: <strong>saving people<\/strong>, not just defeating villains.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 1.8rem; color: #E76F51; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(244,162,97,0.2);\">The Timing Is Perfect<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">The announcement of <strong>&#8220;I Am A Hero Too&#8221;<\/strong> landed on <strong>May 2, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 the exact same day as the final episode of the main anime. That wasn&#8217;t an accident. Horikoshi and the production team clearly planned this as a bridge between the end of the main story and whatever comes next for the franchise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">And honestly? It&#8217;s exactly what fans needed. The finale was beautiful, but it was also heavy. It closed the book on Deku&#8217;s journey, on Class 1-A, on everything we&#8217;d followed for nearly a decade. A quiet, character-focused short about Eri \u2014 about healing, about moving forward, about the children saved by heroes \u2014 is the perfect emotional palette cleanser.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">If you haven&#8217;t read our retrospective on the MHA finale, <a href=\"https:\/\/anime-roulette.com\/blog\/2026\/05\/02\/plus-ultra-forever-saying-goodbye-to-my-hero-academia\/\" style=\"color: #E76F51; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\">check it out here<\/a> \u2014 we looked back at the moments that defined a generation and explored what comes next for fans feeling the post-finale void.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 1.8rem; color: #E76F51; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(244,162,97,0.2);\">What Comes After This?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">The main <em>My Hero Academia<\/em> anime is complete. There are no more seasons announced, no more arcs to adapt. But the MHA universe is far too profitable \u2014 and far too rich with characters \u2014 to simply end. <em>Vigilantes<\/em>, the spin-off prequel manga, has plenty of material for an adaptation. Side characters like Hawks, Endeavour, and even Shigaraki have backstories worth exploring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">And then there&#8217;s the movie pipeline. Four MHA films have already been produced, and a fifth is always a possibility. The franchise remains one of Crunchyroll&#8217;s biggest draws globally. Horikoshi may be done with the main story, but the world he built isn&#8217;t going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">For now, &#8220;I Am A Hero Too&#8221; is enough. A quiet, beautiful coda to the series&#8217; most heartbreakingly resilient character. A reminder that being a hero isn&#8217;t just about throwing punches \u2014 sometimes it&#8217;s about helping a little girl learn to smile again.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 1.8rem; color: #2A9D8F; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(42,157,143,0.2);\">What to Watch While You Wait<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; margin-bottom: 24px;\">Summer 2026 is shaping up to be one of the strongest anime seasons in years.
