Toonami to air My Hero Academia

It's gonna blow up bigger than One Punch Man. It's already in the cusp of mainstream audience.

It is sure to be huge for the block much like DBZ is.

Toonami here in the states is currently airing the english dub of shippuden from start to end, so they are just entering the five kage meeting arc. So they have a ways to go yet.

You think it's gonna be as big as DBZ? That's a high bar. Not even Naruto did it.

that's because Naruto had too much filler, but with DBZ kai about to finish, something has to fill its shoes.
Demon_skeith said:
Yes, but it's still only 2nd to DB in terms of popularity IMO. I don't count Pokemon because it's the games that made it popular.
Plus, Toonami can air HeroAca continuously till the end of season 4, or maybe season 5, but they'll run out of episodes after that since it has only 25 ep per year.

depending on how things work out, they might work it out so it can air season 6 around the same time Japan airs it, if there is a season 6.

Let's say it takes a 2 week break every year. It starts on May 5, s1 has 13 episodes, s2 and s3 25 each. So, that's 63 weeks. That means s3 will get over by the first week of August of 2019 or before that. By 2019 April, we'll have season 4, and by Jan 2020, it'll catch up to season 4. All this is assuming they immediately start airing the next season after each one gets over. Even with several weeks of delay between each, it'll get caught up by April or May 2020 at least. So, best case even s5 is possible, since Funimation is releasing the dubbed episodes in the same week as the subbed ones for the first few episodes of Hero Aca. Worst case, like you said, they'll air s6 around the same time as Japan.
