Beginning today (4th), the television anime franchise “My Hero Academia” launched its conclusive arc, “My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON,” on the Yomiuri TV / Nippon TV national network (Saturdays, 5:30 p.m. JST). Simultaneously, the production committee released the non‑credit (creditless) version of the brand‑new opening animation. Alongside the video, the specially illustrated jacket artwork for the limited anime edition of the opening theme single, Porno Graffitti’s “THE REVO,” has also been made public

Return of Porno Graffitti & musical concept
“THE REVO” is an expressly written (fully new) composition by Porno Graffitti. The band previously energized viewers as the opening theme artist for the first season in 2016; nine years later they return to usher the story toward its climax and conclusion. They crafted a piece intended “to put a supportive hand against the backs of the characters and every viewer,” pairing a seemingly lean, uncluttered melodic line with a restrained but unmistakable inner fire. The lyric motif of a “revolution inside the brain” (an interior, personal upheaval) functions as an emotional core, leaving a vivid after‑image.
Visual storytelling in the OP
The new sequence visually amplifies the intentions embedded in “THE REVO.” Viewers witness Izuku “Deku” Midoriya, battered and frayed, forcing himself forward into the decisive final confrontation. Around him gather those who watch over, believe in, and cheer him on: ordinary citizens, mentors, and the classmates and comrades who have fought shoulder to shoulder with him since the earliest days. Their presence forms a figurative current pushing him onward. The editing and shot design interweave explosive, high‑impact battle cuts—hallmarks that have thrilled worldwide audiences since Season 1—with suggestive, dramatic tableaux that foreshadow soul‑stirring developments still to come.

Distribution & physical release details
“THE REVO” is now available on major digital music streaming and download platforms. A four‑format physical CD release is scheduled for 19 November. The newly unveiled jacket illustration adorns the limited‑period (time‑limited production) anime edition. Produced by BONES (BONES Film label) specifically for this package, the artwork frames, edge to edge, Deku’s desperate, all‑or‑nothing expression—capturing the moment he has discarded every remaining safety and is fighting with total resolve.

The anime limited digipak case utilizes the bespoke illustration. Enclosed are:
- Audio CD: featuring “THE REVO” (track list details to be announced or confirmed separately)

Conceptual through‑line
Song, imagery, and product design together form a cohesive message: personal internal revolution ignites collective momentum. The visual emphasis on supporters physically and symbolically reinforcing a worn but unyielding hero mirrors the lyrical focus on mental transformation, making this opening a thematic bridge between the series’ origin and its endgame.
