The fourth season of the My Hero Academia anime television 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 aired from October 12, 2019, to April 4, 2020, on ytv and NTV.[1]

The season follows Izuku Midoriya and his classmates in their Hero Work-Studies, where they face off against the Shie Hassaikai group, with their mission 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 shortly after one of the world's greatest Heroes was forced to retire.

Funimation has licensed the season for an English-language release in North America.[2] Funimation premiered the first episode of the fourth season at Anime Expo on July 6, 2019, with the English dub.[3] [4] Crunchyroll and Hulu are simulcasting the season outside of Asia as it airs, while FunimationNow is streaming in Simuldub.[5] Funimation's adaptation premiered on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block on November 9, 2019.[6] Several episodes on Toonami got delayed, due to the schedule redaction or disruption and the effects of COVID-19 pandemic which ended on June 28, 2020, instead of May as it originally scheduled.

Four pieces of theme music are used for this season: two opening themes and two ending themes. For the first fourteen episodes, the opening theme is by Blue Encount, while the ending theme is by Sayuri.[7] The second opening theme is by Kana-Boon and the ending theme is "Shout Baby" by Ryokuōshoku Shakai.[8] Kyoka Jiro starring Chrissy Costanza performs the insert songs "Each Goal" in episode 19 and "Hero too" in episode 23, with the former insert song was uncredited, while the latter insert song was credited as the U.A.
