Exciting news for My Hero Academia fans! During Jump Festa 24, it was officially announced that season 7 will begin airing on May 4, 2024. But that’s not all—the fourth My Hero Academia anime movie is also set to hit theaters in the summer of 2024.
Season 7 is expected to pick up right where season 6 left off, introducing the USA hero ‘Star and Stripe.’ If the anime follows the manga’s storyline, fans can look forward to her intense confrontation with All for One, which has dramatic consequences following her devastating defeat.
The Star and Stripe arc begins in chapter 329 of the My Hero Academia manga, so fans eager to prepare for the upcoming season should dive into volume 34. Additionally, the season is likely to explore a betrayal within Class 1A and the ongoing Todoroki family conflict, culminating in a heated battle between Dabi and Shoto.
