My Hero Academia is gearing up for its highly anticipated 7th season, which is scheduled to premiere on May 4, 2024, after the previous season ended in March 2023.
Fans can expect the upcoming season to be a return to action, picking up from a major cliffhanger left over from last season.
The new season will prominently feature America's #1 Hero, Stars and Stripes, making her anime debut. Her appearance was in response to All Might's plea for foreign assistance, triggered by the near-completion of Tomura Shigaraki's body.
. The upcoming story arc, called the Star and Stripe Arc, promises to deliver the same intense action and thrills that fans have come to love from the series.
My Hero Academia season 7
According to the expected pace of the adaptation, season 7 will likely include both the Star and Stripe Arc and the UA Traitor Arc, two important storylines in the manga.
One of the biggest moments in the upcoming season is expected to be the death and subsequent resurrection of Katsuki Bakugo, the central character of the series. In chapter 365 of the manga,
Bakugo was close to death when Shigaraki targeted him due to his relationship with Izuku Midoriya. Shigaraki's plan involves giving Midoriya Bakugo's body upon his return to UA, in order to psychologically torture him.
However, Bakugo's outstanding resilience and growth come first. Using his new move, Cluster, Bakugo deals a decisive blow to Shigaraki despite the extreme risk involved. Unfortunately, Bakugo was left in a critical condition when Shigaraki hit him directly in the chest, breaking his heart.
Luckily, the hero Edgeshot intervened in time, using his Quirk to transform himself into a temporary replacement heart for Bakugo, saving his life.
This season premiere will likely pick up where the last season left off, with the introduction of Star and Stripe and the impending threat posed by Shigaraki and All For One. The Stars and Stripes arc, while relatively short, set the stage for the next Traitor UA Arc, revealing important revelations and developments in the story.
Given the typical pacing of anime, if each episode has about 3 chapters and is expected to be 25 episodes long, season 7 is expected to end around chapter 405, paving the way for the Final War Arc, the sequel and longest of the series to date. .
My Hero Academia Season 7 promises to be an exciting continuation of the series, with the possibility of including Bakugo's dramatic death and resurrection. Studio Bones' careful adaptation ensures that this pivotal moment in the manga can be seen, delivering both the heart-wrenching moments and the triumphant return that fans have been eagerly waiting for.
