In My Hero Academia season 7, the first fight will be between Star & Stripe and Tomura Shigaraki. This battle is expected to have a significant impact on the story.

In the sixth season, viewers were finally given confirmation that Dabi was in fact the “late”Toya Todoroki, having survived the fire which had previously been believed to have killed him. As a result, the upcoming seventh season of My Hero Academia will depict the long-awaited showdown between brothers as Shoto faces off against Toya alone. Given their familial connection, this is a highly anticipated fight among fans.

Moreover, the fight between the two Todoroki siblings holds immense potential for stunning animation as they constantly utilize both fire and ice. Another significant aspect of this battle is the confirmation of the long-standing fan theory that Dabi is a Todoroki. As a result, fans are highly invested in the resolution of this sibling’s story.

During the Todoroki siblings’ disagreement, season 7 of My Hero Academia will feature Endeavor (also known as Enji) joining forces with Hawks and other allies to defeat All For One. Additional fighters will also join in to aid the duo. The top two heroes, as well as the ultimate enemy of the series, will be the main focus of this showdown.

The excitement surrounding this battle is largely due to the significance it holds for the two heroes in their roles as the top two. With All Might’s unexpected retirement and Deku’s training to become the new Symbol of Peace, they must now bear the responsibility of upholding this title. Yet, their task is not an easy one, as All For One is determined to stop at nothing to achieve his own agenda.

In season 6, the teaser of All Might potentially wearing an armor suit caused a frenzy of speculation on the internet. And in the upcoming season 7, the excitement will only increase as All Might not only dons the armor, but also utilizes it in his battle against All For One.

Despite the fact that fans may never witness the initial clash between these adversaries, their final showdown will undoubtedly satisfy even the most discerning viewers. The mere mention of Marvel’s Iron Man alone is enough to break the internet, especially when considering the significance of All Might’s armor and the stakes of this ultimate confrontation for both him and the audience.
