What to Expect from MHA Final Season Episode 1?
As you are aware, the final battle between the superheroes and villains is underway in the anime. As the episode title and previews suggest, Armored All Might’s fight against All for One will be the center of attention in episode 1. The official synopsis for the first episode of MHA’s final season is as follows: “The fierce battle between Armored All Might and All For One continues. All Might is slowly being cornered, but does he have a chance of winning? Meanwhile, Aoyama and the others struggle with Kuneida’s brutal quirk.”

Aside from All Might’s battle, we will also get to see Aoyama and the other heroes with him take on Kunieda, the psychopathic serial killer. The upcoming battles will decide not just the fate of Japan but also the entire world.
