My Hero Academia Teams Up with Japan National Football Squad for World Cup Hype, Drops Exclusive Character Jerseys & Merch!

The final season of My Hero Academia wrapped up last December, but the anime isn't slowing down, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year!

To mark the occasion, the series has announced an epic collaboration with the Japan National Football Team, dropping a whole line of support merch. What's even cooler? They've unveiled brand-new illustrations of the characters rocking the national team's football kits! But the real showstopper has to be the five character-exclusive jerseys, complete with their names and numbers. Fans can snag these at limited-time pop-up shops, hitting JR Shinjuku Station, JR Kyoto Station, and Shibuya RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK.

Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Hawks, and Eraser Head are all getting the superstar treatment, decked out in the Japan National Football Team's kit in these fresh visuals, all to cheer on Japan in this year's World Cup football extravaganza.

Sure, new art for merch is cool, but this time they're taking it up a notch! These five characters' jerseys are actual merchandise, featuring the same adidas 2026 Japan National Football Team design. Each jersey boasts a character's unique back number and name, plus the My Hero Academia 10th-anniversary logo at the bottom – a truly rare collectible! They'll retail for 24,200 JPY and come in a single Free size (roughly an adult L).

And that's just the first wave of pop-up shop goodies! Besides the jerseys, fans can expect acrylic stands, clear files, tapestries, badges, and a ton of other items featuring the new illustrations. The official announcement teases a second wave dropping in late June, so get ready for even more awesome stuff!
