Kaze has announced that there will be two Blu-ray and DVD volumes for Boku no Hero Academia Season 2. Each volume will contain 318 minutes of footage, which is the same runtime as Season which had 13 episodes. With an episode of anime running for approximately 24 minutes, it equates to 13 episodes per volume and a total of 26 episodes. The runtime does not exactly fit into 26 episodes, so the extra time could point to an OVA that may be bundled with the volumes.

Here is the series synopsis from MAL:

People are not born equal, a realization that 4-year-old Midoriya Izuku faced when bullied by his classmates who had unique special powers. Izuku was one of the rare cases where he was born with absolutely no unique powers. This did not stop Izuku from pursuing his dream, a dream of becoming a great hero like the legendary All-Might. To become the great hero he hopelessly wants to become, he now will join the ranks of one of the highest rated “Hero Academies” in the country: Yueiko. With the help of his idol All-Might, will he be able to claim the ranks and become a true hero?
