Recap of My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 11

The episode, titled “Light Fades to Rain,”opened with Bakugo confronting the formidable Shigaraki. As Midoriya was still on his way, it fell to the Heroes at the Sky Coffin to stall for time. This was when the Big Three of U.A. – Mirio Togata, Nejire Hado, and Tamaki Amajiki – rose to the challenge.

The trio joined forces to launch an assault on Shigaraki, successfully freeing Bakugo from his grasp. Nevertheless, in response, the villain’s abnormal arm growths rapidly sprouted, extending to block the Big Three’s attacks.

Best Jeanist quickly came to Bakugo’s rescue, but the combination of Shigaraki’s brutal words and the injuries he sustained had caused something to snap within the latter. Despite still being in the midst of battle, Bakugo was struggling mentally. Mirio’s plea to stop the destruction also had an impact on Shigaraki, as it struck a nerve within him. Deep down, buried beneath Shigaraki and All For One (AFO), was the true identity of Tenko Shimura.

As he noticed the deterioration of his own body, Shigaraki shifted his focus to the disoriented Bakugo. He started moving towards him, but Mirio and Nejire were putting all their efforts into prolonging the time. While Nejire was attacking, she also enhanced Tamaki’s Manifest, a Quirk without any limitations.

In a strategic move, Tamaki released a massive Vast Hybrid: Plasma Canon directly at Shigaraki, effectively destroying a large number of hands and a portion of the protective Sky Coffin barrier. Despite this, the villain remained unharmed. But there was still one person determined to continue the fight – Katsuki Bakugo. Without hesitation, he charged forward and unleashed a powerful blast aimed at Shigaraki’s face.

Despite the enhancements provided by his Quirk: Explosion, thanks to Cluster, Bakugo’s nitroglycerin sweat now erupted from all parts of his body, increasing his speed. As he fought alongside the Big Three and Mirko, he relied solely on his instincts. However, Shigaraki’s strength proved to be too much for them all, sending all five Heroes flying and leaving Bakugo’s heart shattered.

What to Anticipate in My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 12?

Despite the massive tragedy in the previous episode where Bakugo was fatally injured, there is no time to process the events. In the upcoming My Hero Academia season 7 episode 12, the intensity will continue as Dabi makes a fiery return.

Additionally, audiences will finally witness AFO’s plans that have been in development since his last appearance in episode 10. The antagonists are prepared to launch an attack and assert control over each of the designated areas, marking their return.

To clarify, the release date for season 7 episode 12 of My Hero Academia is Saturday, August 3, 2024, at 05:30 PM JST, instead of the previously announced date of July 27, 2024. This change is due to the broadcast of the Olympics.
