What to expect from My Hero Academia season 7

With the My Hero Academia season 7 release date looming up, let’s take a look at what has happened so far before we dive into speculations about the future.

Izuku Midoriya was born “Quirkless”, i.e., he has no superpowers in a world where it is considered normal. Determined to still protect the world from power-abusing villains, he sets out on a journey with All Might. All Might is a superhero with a special Quirk, he can pass his powers on to a successor. Chosen by the person he looks up to the most, Izuku enrolls in U.A. High School, where he learns to fight. Much like in Harry Potter, this school is targeted by villains from the League of Villains.

In the last season, we see the Paranormal Liberation War arc unfold. Formed by the League of Villains in cahoots with the Meta Liberation Army, the world has never been in greater danger of a complete villain takeover. The heroes launch an attack on the villains, but Shigaraki comes into his true power and becomes a massive threat. Izuku leaves U.A. and goes off to fight the villains alone, but is ultimately convinced to come back for a final battle with Shigaraki and the other villains.

So what happens next?

Deku vs. Lady Nagant

The season will start with Izuku Midoriya vs. Lady Nagant, once one of the heroes, now an assassin working for All For One. This was shown in the recent season finale and may well turn out to be one of Season Seven’s early focal points.

Hero Society’s decline

After the intense battle of the Paranormal Liberation War, the hero society has fallen to pieces. The new season will follow the ach of this conflict, detailing how heroes including Izuku and his classmates cope with aftereffects and strive to respond.

America’s Number One Hero arrives

Season seven performance will see the introduction of the USA’s top-ranked hero Star and Stripe. She’ll play a key role in the story, probably aiding the Japanese heroes during their fight against villains.

Todoroki family conflict

The whole Todoroki clan has been plagued with strife — the ongoing conflict between Shoto and his elder brother Dabi (unmasked as Toya Todoroki, the long-lost son of the family head) may conclude. Season Seven can be expected to include a showdown between these two brothers.

Revealing of a traitor

There may be a spy among the inmates at UA High School. Season Seven may at last unveil who this traitor is and what variety of punishment they’ll receive.

All For One vs. Shigaraki

The final battle will likely take place in Season Seven. The bad guys, led by All For One and Tomura Shigaraki, will put in their last play to destroy hero society. A critical period of crisis awaits.

Izuku’s final fight

As the series’ protagonist and the new owner of One For All, Izuku Midoriya will play a huge role in the final conflict. He must put his personal growth — both in learning how to best utilize his power and leadership training capacities as a hero — to test as he confronts an opponent who is beyond anyone he has fought before.
