‘My Hero Academia' Season 7: Release Date, Trailer, Plot, and Everything We Know So Far (2024)

It has been seven years since Izuku Midoriya joined the prestigious U.A High, a school for gifted youngsters seeking to become professional heroes in the future. However, life was not a bed of roses for young Midoriya. Ever since he was a child, he only dreamed about one thing, to be a superhero like his idol, All Might. Born quirkless, Midoriya was one of the few unfortunate ones who seemed to be “abnormal” in a world full of people with X-Men-like powers.

Kōhei Horikoshi’s wildly popular manga, My Hero Academia, showed the world with the help of Izuku Midoriya’s story how hope, hard work, persistence, and a positive outlook can overcome even the biggest obstacles. How much having a kind heart influences your life and the people around you, and how friends can become your biggest asset. My Hero Academia is the perfect example of the unwavering spirit of heroism even in the face of insurmountable odds, packing a significant punch with adrenaline-fueled battles and making you smile with the light-hearted interactions among the characters simultaneously.

Deku and his classmates are set to make their return to face the evil forces of All For One once again. But before we gear up to go Plus Ultra, let’s look at everything we know about My Hero Academia Season 7.

Is There a Trailer for 'My Hero Academia' Season 7?

Right after the Season 6 finale aired with Series-high ratings, a teaser for the next season was released that hinted at the upcoming events and characters without revealing much about the plot. However, we can expect Season 7 to begin right where it left off. Midoriya, with his classmates in 1-A, as well as all the pro heroes and the residents of U.A High, are on the mend, and a possible giant-sized confrontation between the number one USA hero 'Star and Stripe' and All For One.

During Jump Festa 2024, we received our first look at My Hero Academia Season 7. The trailer showcases the heroes and villains as they prepare for the next phase of the war. We also see North America's top hero, Star and Stripe, answer the call and join the fray.

On March 24, a new trailer was released for My Hero Academia Season 7. In this trailer, we get a small sample of the new intro by TK from Ling Tosite. The artist is best known for performing the intro for Tokyo Ghoul.

Who Are Voice Cast of 'My Hero Academia' Season 7?

With the vast variety of heroes and villains fighting for their ideals in Season 7, we can be sure the cast will be humongous. Though not all voice actors have been confirmed yet, we can assume the following members will be returning in My Hero Academia Season 7:

What Has Happened In 'My Hero Academia' So Far?

After being chosen as a successor to Japan’s former top hero All Might, young Izuku Midoriya’s life goes from 0 to 11 when he receives his mentor and idol’s powers, the One For All. Though his dream to be a superhero might be within his reach, he still has a lot to learn about the nature of his powers and the foes he is going to face.

Gradually, with the help of his friends, teachers, and of course, All Might, Midoriya (Deku) learns to hone his skills to the utmost perfection, so much so that he begins to regularly tangle with really powerful villains, eventually coming out on top. In Season 6, all the pro heroes and students of the U.A. High went toe to toe with the Paranormal Liberation Front, and even though they were successful in stopping their advance, the heroes and the city suffered high casualties, and the villains were still able to achieve their objective of liberating All For One.

Following the mass destruction, Deku goes through an emo phase when he takes all the blame upon himself, as the owner of One For All, and goes on his own to do some solo leveling up. However, his friends and teachers at U.A. High manage to get him out of it and convince him to return to his cheerful and hopeful nature.

Towards the end of Season 6, we see All Might find hope again through encouragement from an unlikely source. While All Might can't fight alone, he can still use his connections to help. The retired hero requests aid from the United Nation, meaning the arrival of North America's best, Star and Stripe.

What is 'My Hero Academia' Season 7 About?

Season 7 of My Hero Academia will pick up exactly where Season 6 left off. North America's top hero, Star and Stripe is set tot arrive and aid Deku in his fight against All for One. The Star and Stripe arc will be quickly followed up by the U.A. Traitor arc as Deku discovers that there might be someone leaking information to his greatest enemy.
