My Hero Academia
Synopsis
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested extraordinary superpowers called “Quirks” at age four? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Becoming a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? U.A. High's Hero Program of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless? Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn't got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All Might, the greatest hero of them all gives him a chance to change his destiny…

What each season of My Hero Academia costs
Very few people need every season at once. Because streaming is billed by the month with no contract, the real cost of catching up on My Hero Academia is however many months your viewing pace takes — not a yearly subscription. The table below prices each season on Netflix, the cheapest paid service carrying the show at $8.99 a month, at the same 20 episodes-per-month pace used above.
| Season | Episodes | Months to finish | Cost on Netflix | Per episode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 13 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.69 |
| Season 2 | 25 | 2 | ~$17.98 | ~$0.72 |
| Season 3 | 25 | 2 | ~$17.98 | ~$0.72 |
| Season 4 | 25 | 2 | ~$17.98 | ~$0.72 |
| Season 5 | 25 | 2 | ~$17.98 | ~$0.72 |
| Season 6 | 25 | 2 | ~$17.98 | ~$0.72 |
| Season 7 | 21 | 2 | ~$17.98 | ~$0.86 |
| FINAL SEASON | 6 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$1.50 |
What this means: FINAL SEASON is the cheapest way in at about $8.99. Working through the seasons one at a time with a cancellation between each would total about $125.86, more than the $80.91 of a single continuous run — so if you intend to watch the whole show, keep the subscription open and finish it.
Is a bundle cheaper for My Hero Academia?
A bundle's advertised saving is measured against paying for every service inside it. That is the wrong comparison when you are here for one show, so each bundle carrying My Hero Academia is priced below against the cheapest single subscription that also carries it, over the 9 months the show takes to finish.
Disney Bundle — $19.99/mo, Trio Basic (with ads)
Covers Hulu here. Over 9 months the bundle costs about $179.91, against $107.91 for Hulu on its own at $11.99/mo. $72.00 more
It only pays off if you would also subscribe to the rest of it — Disney Bundle covers $36.97 of services for $19.99, a genuine $16.98 a month saved once you actually want all of them.

My Hero Academia: common questions
- Where can I watch My Hero Academia?
- My Hero Academia is currently available to stream on Netflix and Hulu. Availability changes as licensing deals move between services, so it is worth re-checking before you subscribe.
- How much does it cost to watch all of My Hero Academia?
- About $80.91. At roughly 20 episodes a month, 165 episodes take 9 months on Netflix at $8.99 a month, which works out to about $0.49 an episode. Leaving the same subscription running for a full year would cost $107.88 instead.
- What is the cheapest way to watch My Hero Academia?
- Netflix, at $8.99 a month, is the cheapest service carrying it — $3.00 a month less than Hulu, the priciest of the 2 paid options. The bigger saving is in cancelling afterwards: streaming services bill monthly with no contract, so the subscription only needs to exist while you are watching, and rotating in and out around what you are actually mid-way through is the single biggest lever on a streaming budget.
- Can I watch just one season of My Hero Academia?
- Yes, and it is much cheaper. On Netflix the least expensive season here is FINAL SEASON — 6 episodes, about 1 month of subscription at $8.99. Paying season by season keeps the total down whenever you are not committed to the whole run.
- Is a bundle cheaper for watching My Hero Academia?
- Not for this show on its own. Disney Bundle includes Hulu, but at $19.99 a month it costs $179.91 over the 9 months this show takes, against $107.91 for Hulu alone — $72.00 more. A bundle only pays off when you would have subscribed to its other services anyway.
- How many episodes of My Hero Academia are there?
- 165 episodes across 8 seasons. At 20 episodes a month that is roughly 9 months of viewing.
