Bandai Namco Entertainment launched a countdown website on November 24 at the "mhaoj.bn-ent.net/" URL. The website featured an image of an egg in a microwave, and then later images in the countdown showed a taiyaki coming out of the egg. Early on in the manga, Izuku uses a mental image of an egg in a microwave as a way to control his Quirk, and a taiyaki in microwave a plays a similar role when Izuku is training with Gran Torino.

Horikoshi's manga previously inspired the My Hero Academia: Battle for All Nintendo 3DS game in May 2016, and the My Hero Academia: Gekitotsu! Heroes Battle arcade card game with accompanying smartphone game, which launched in April 2016.

More recently, the manga inspired the My Hero Academia: Smash Tap smartphone game, which launched this year.

Horikoshi's manga also inspired two television anime series. The anime's first 13-episode season premiered in April 2016, and the second 25-episode series premiered on April 1. The third season will premiere in April 2018.
