It has been around a decade since My Hero Academia began its story, and right now, it has expanded its universe through multiple films that are loved by fans. These films have introduced new settings, villains, and plots that are not connected to the main plot, yet they carry the charm of the show that viewers love. The only critique that the fandom had around these movies was the fact that they came in a grey area where it was confusing if they were canon or separate stories. Then came one of the most memorable episodes in its final season, where there was a perfect moment to make sure all of these movies are proven to be canon, and it happened during My Hero Academia Final Season Episode 8. The fandom has never been happier since this moment was added in the episode. Since this episode has aired, many believe that it just might be one of the greatest ones in the entire series.From the battlefield, about to reach its conclusion, and then the focus shifts to familiar faces all rooting towards Deku. Moreover, Characters introduced exclusively in the movies suddenly appear alongside U.A. students and pro-heroes, joining the final fight as if they had always been part of the main story. Easter eggs like these often feel like the anime is reaching out to its fans to convey a simple message: That the movies mattered, those characters are indeed real, and yes, everything counts.Still from My Hero Academia (Image credit: Studio Bones)This bold decision works because it arrives at a moment of emotional and narrative peak. As Deku is pushing just through his willpower and others believing in him, toward Tomura Shigaraki, the series delivers one of its most devastating and intimate scenes ever. Deku is a type of hero who ends up forcing himself into the hearts of everyone and focuses on saving them, even if the world does not see the need to reach out. What follows is a harrowing journey through pain, neglect, and manipulation, with Deku trying desperately to redirect the tragedy. That is why when everyone who was even part of the movies being part of the episode just proves that just because the story is about Deku does not discredit other heroes. They also exist, but for now, the spotlight is on someone else. On a popular social media platform X, Alanin_8 @Alanin_8 has started a thread that gained attention:Since this tweet has gained attention in the fandom, many viewers have come out to express how happy they have been to see a movie character they love be part of the main series. This might be a small gesture, but it shows how much the production house genuinely cares for the fandom. A fan on X, @ase_yr, has perfectly summed up the collective sentiment: "All of the movie characters getting a little screen time in season eight makes me so happy"Canonizing the movies wasn’t just fan service; it was the perfect celebration of a universe built on connection, hope, and the belief that anyone can help shape a hero. My Hero Academia Final Season Episode 8 has given a moment to make fans forget about the fact that the series is about to end with a small gesture by Studio Bones. Another netizen on X, @FazbearFanverse, had added:"THIS GOT ME SO EXCITED!!!! LIKE THEY FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE FILMS THAT THEY’RE CANON TO THE STORYLINE AND WE GET TO SEE THEM AGAIN FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME"A final battle strengthened by My Hero Academia movie heroesStill from My Hero Academia anime(Image credit: Studio Bones)As All For One tears away Shigaraki’s identity to seize complete control, the real-world battle intensifies. Every hero on the field, including characters fans never expected to see again, throws themselves in the line of fire. The reason why My Hero Academia is popular because the story has always been about connection, how one person’s courage sparks another’s, how vulnerability inspires action, how heroes are shaped by every bond they form. That is why when someone decided that My Hero Academia episode needs an addition of movie characters, it doesn’t just reward longtime viewers; it supports the message that Deku’s journey was never walked alone. Everyone, directly or indirectly, has put in their effort to ensure that our hero can defeat the ultimate villain.
