List of episodes

The seventh season of the My Hero Academia anime television series is produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki (chief director) and Naomi Nakayama,[1] following the story of Kōhei Horikoshi's original manga series of the same name starting from the beginning of the 34th volume. It covers the "Star and Stripe" (chapters 329–334), "U.A. Traitor" (chapters 335–342), and the "Final War" arcs. The seventh season premiered on ytv and NTV on May 4, 2024, with 4 "Memories" recap specials having aired in the preceding month of April.[2][3]

The season introduces Star and Stripe, America's #1 Pro Hero, as she arrives to fight Tomura Shigaraki by All Might's request. While the U.A. High students and the remaining Pro Heroes take time in preparing for the final battle against the villains of the Paranormal Liberation Front, things become complicated as one of Izuku's classmates is revealed to be the traitor. With the young hero students contemplating whether they can save "villains", the Pro Heroes come together with a plan to divide and conquer the villains' side as the war between both sides to determine the fate of the world begins.

Crunchyroll has licensed the season along with the "Memories" recap specials outside of Asia as it airs.[4] Medialink licensed the season in Asia-Pacific.[5]

For the seventh season: the opening theme song is "Tagatame" (誰我為, lit.'For Someone's Sake') performed by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure and the ending theme is "Tsubomi" (, lit.'Flower Bud') performed by Omoinotake.[6][7]

Upon witnessing the current state of Japan as a result of Tomura Shigaraki, All For One, and the Jailbreakers running free, America's Number 1 Hero Star and Stripe and her military comrades defy their orders and make their way over to provide aid. Meanwhile, All For One, who lies hiding in a secret cave alongside Spinner, schemes to steal Star's Quirk which will guarantee his world domination plans. Skeptic also fuels the fire of the remaining Liberation Front members to use the League of Villains as their rallying point. As Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist head to rendezvous with Star, they receive word that Shigaraki, riding on a flying Nomu, has already intercepted her. The two proceed to clash in which Star demonstrates her Quirk, "New Order", capable of changing the rules of whatever or whoever she touches, as well as revealing how she was inspired by All Might. She attempts to use her Quirk on Shigaraki, however, as a result of his ongoing fusion with All For One, he's currently in a state of identity crisis, unsure if he is Shigaraki, All For One, or even Tenko Shimura. "Shigaraki" manages to deduce New Order's capabilities and desires it for himself, while Star prepares for her last resort. She transforms the air into a giant form of herself, and using a sword made of lasers keeps "Shigaraki" pinned down, as she awaits backup in the form of several guided missiles called "Tiamat".
