The fourth season of the My Hero Academia anime series was produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki (chief director) and Masahiro Mukai, following the story of the original manga series from the second half of the 14th volume to the first chapters of the 21st volume. It covers the "Shie Hassaikai" (chapters 125-162), "Remedial Course" (chapters 163-168), "U.A. School Festival" (chapters 169-183), and the first part of the "Pro Hero" arc (chapters 184-190); partially including chapters 191-193. The season follows Izuku Midoriya and his classmates in their Hero Work-Studies, where they face off against the Shie Hassaikai group, with their goal is to stop them from creating a Quirk-Destroying Drug and save a little girl at the center of it. Meanwhile, two students of U.A. High attend a special Hero License course, having failed their previous exam. Then, U.A. holds its annual School Festival and Class 1-A decides to have a dance performance with a live band in hopes to ease the public's doubt of their worth. Later, the new hero rankings was revealed after All Might's retirement.

The fourth season premiered on October 12, 2019, on ytv and NTV.[1] However, the first episode of the season on NTV was suspended in some regions of Japan due to the emergency reporting on Typhoon Hagibis, and international simulcasts were delayed.

For the first fourteen episodes, the opening theme is "Polaris" (ポラリス) by Blue Encount, while the ending theme is "Kōkai no Uta" (航海の唄, The Song of the Voyage) by Sayuri.[7] The second opening theme is "Starmarker" (スターマーカー) by Kana-Boon and the ending theme is "Shout Baby" by Ryokuōshoku Shakai.[8] Chrissy Costanza performs the insert songs "Each Goal" in episode 19 and "Hero too" in episode 23.[9]
