We get a few glimpses of Deku and Shigaraki seeming like they\u2019re about to face off, but we don\u2019t get to see too much of the action in the trailer itself. The good news is that leaves plenty of incredible fight scenes to help get us excited for the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The creative staff behind the show at Bones will remain largely the same as it was for season 7. Longtime series director Kenji Nagasaki will once again serve as chief director on season 8, while Naomi Nakayama will continue in her director role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The teaser also reveals that <em>Final Season<\/em> will arrive on Crunchyroll in October.
