Ready? The My Hero Academia season 5, episode 8 release date continues the trend of episodes airing on Saturday. In this case, specifically Saturday, May 15.

Some may need to set their alarms, though, lest they be at the mercy of the minefield of social media spoilers. Season 5, episode 8 (AKA episode 96) is released at 2:30am Pacific/5:30am Eastern. That's a far more snug 10:30am BST in the UK.

Those who haven't signed up to a paid account on Funimation and Crunchyroll will have to wait until around May 22 to watch the latest subbed episode.

The English dub of Episode 96 will be available on Toonami from June 27, though plans can change. As a rule, those typically air three-to-four weeks behind the original Japanese language version.
