Share

It’s officially the end of an era as one of the most iconic anime and beloved series of its generation prepares to close out its final chapters. After nearly a decade and eight seasons, My Hero Academia is ready to cross the finish line just over a year after creator Kohei Horikoshi completed the manga series that the show is based on.

Nerds & Beyond sat down with the talented voice actors that bring My Hero Academia‘s characters to life in the show’s English dub to talk about this final season.

Below, you’ll find our interview with David Matranga (Shoto Todoroki), Ernesto Jason Liebrecht (Dabi/Toya Todoroki), and Patrick Seitz (Endeavor/Enji Todoroki). The cast talks about that emotional Todoroki family moment this season, David shares what he’d say to Shoto in the aftermath of everything, and Ernesto Jason discusses the therapeutic experience of voicing Toya Todoroki.
