No: My Hero Academia’s final season ended with manga Chapter 430. The next chapter, “More” (Chapter 431), was adapted separately as a TV special, not as part of the season finale.
What did the final-season finale adapt?
The official anime announcement says the series’ final TV episode, No. 170, brought the story through manga Chapter 430. Chapter 431 was not included in that episode; the anime presented its adaptation as an additional TV special. The official announcement described it as “the story beyond the final episode.”

What is Chapter 431, “More”?
“More” is an added chapter by Kōhei Horikoshi, published at the end of the manga’s final collected volume, Volume 42. The special adapts that chapter. Shueisha’s announcement identifies it as Chapter 431, “More.”
The official anime description places the story eight years after Class 1-A graduates from U.A. High School, following the characters as they continue their professional lives as heroes. It is an epilogue beyond the events covered by the season finale.

When did the special air, and where can viewers watch it?
The Japanese broadcast announcement scheduled the special for May 2, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. on the Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV network across 29 stations, with some regions excluded. That schedule describes the announced Japanese broadcast; it does not establish access in other countries.
Crunchyroll News reported that the special would stream on Crunchyroll at its premiere. That report does not confirm current availability in every territory, so viewers should check the service in their region for present access.
