My Hero Academia Season 7 Previews Opening in Second PV

It’s Todoroki versus Todoroki in Season 7 of My Hero Academia.

In the second PV of My Hero Academia as revealed at Anime Japan 2024, it shows the intensity of Season 7 with a face-off between the Todoroki brothers and the entrance of Star and Stripe, voiced by Romi Park. The PV also previews the opening theme song performed by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure called “Tagatame.”

Season 6 aired from Oct. 1, 2022 to March 25, 2023 for 25 episodes. The season adapted the “Paranormal Liberation War” and “Dark Hero” arcs where the anime took a decidedly darker shift in tone to symbolize the villains’ growing power and influence. The heroes took a significant beating and doubts have been raised on what constitutes being a hero. Deku, especially, has been hit the hardest and makes a choice in the hopes that he can protect everyone he loves as he sets forward to put a stop to Shigaraki and All for One’s evil.

My Hero Academia also has a fourth movie in development and will be titled You’re Next. It premieres in Japan on Aug. 2, 2024. The series also released its first trailer and highlights a key moment where All Might, after defeating All for One, points to the camera and intones “You’re next.” The trailer and key visual showcases the UA students fighting someone who appears to be All Might. My Hero Academia The Movie: You’re Next will be set in the same timeline as Season 7, which premieres in May. Mangaka Kōhei Horikoshi will oversee the film as the general supervisor and original character designer.

A story set in a world full of heroes and villains, My Hero Academia follows one boy who was never born with any kind of superpowers and yet still dreamed of becoming the greatest superhero in the world. When Deku unexpectedly receives his idol All Might’s superpower, known as Quirks, called One for All, he also has unknowingly accepted a decades-long conflict against All Might’s nemesis All for One. The storytelling and character development, as well as Horikoshi’s detailed artwork, has made My Hero Academia one of the best-selling manga series with 85 million copies in circulation.

The first six seasons of My Hero Academia is available to stream on Crunchyroll. Season 7 premieres on May 4, 2024.
