The seventh season of "My Hero Academia" begins with the story from Chapter 329 recorded in Volume 34 of the original manga. After a solitary battle, Deku, influenced by his classmates' feelings, renews his determination to fight not alone, but together with everyone. Shigaraki Tomura, while nearly being consumed by the great evil All For One, continues to push forward with his belief to "destroy everything." Centered around these two characters, heroes and villains are now heading towards the final battle.

The visual features Star and Stripe, the number one hero from America, who appeared at the end of the last episode of Season 6 (Episode 138). Calling All Might her "master" and striking a commanding pose atop a fighter jet as she soars through the sky, her presence is tremendously impactful. Despite her brief appearance, she has elicited a significant response from fans and viewers of "My Hero Academia."

Romi Park, a cast member, commented passionately, "I am trembling with excitement to be given such a major role in a work that has been created with such intense passion. I will devote my whole heart and soul to connect our emotions and give my all alongside Cathy. I will not falter."


The series is based on a popular manga that has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation. Set in a world where people commonly possess superpowers known as "Quirks," it follows the protagonist, Izuku Midoriya (Deku), as he grows with his classmates at the prestigious hero academy, U.A. High School, striving to become a "Hero" who protects society and combats criminals using their Quirks for evil. The manga has been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" since July 2014, and the first season of the TV anime started in April 2016, with movie adaptations also released. The latest series, "My Hero Academia" Season 7, will start airing on May 4.
