Comparing My Hero Academia season 7 episode 6 to its manga chapters

The Plan Revelation

“Season 7 episode 6 of My Hero Academia, titled Division, covered chapters 344-346. The episode began with a flashback to the moment when All Might visited the dorms to disclose the ultimate strategy.”

He planned to trap All for One by getting Aoyama’s family to deceive him. The conversation and All Might’s actions were largely improvised.

The episode proceeded to introduce Shinso and reveal his participation in the final battle. The heroes were ecstatic about gaining a strong fighter on their team, which was depicted with intricate animation that captured the heartwarming atmosphere of the moment.

In episode 6 of My Hero Academia season 7, the focus shifted to Aizawa and Monoma as they stood in front of the immobilized body of Kurogiri. Aizawa instructed Monoma to utilize his quirk and copy Kurogiri’s abilities, declaring that he would play a significant role in the upcoming final battle.

The Final War: Commence!

In the latest episode of My Hero Academia season 7, episode 6, we returned to the battlefield of the final war. Monoma used his power to open portals and summon all the heroes to the scene. Dabi quickly sprang into action upon seeing Endeavor, but his attack was thwarted by Shoto’s quick use of ice.

As soon as all the heroes were summoned, Operation Troy was put into motion. Traps were summoned onto the battlefield, successfully entrapping the villains in groups. Although the villains were able to break through the traps with ease, the precious seconds the heroes bought proved to be enough time for their plan to take effect.

All the villains were forcefully pushed through Kurogiri’s portals and scattered across various regions of Japan. The manga panels were meticulously replicated, with special attention given to the scenes featuring Dabi.

Deku’s Exit from the Main Battlefield

As the villains were being pushed back, Deku joined in the effort. However, Bakugo witnessed him being pulled into a portal by a string. This detail was exclusive to the anime, as the manga did not show anything coming out of the portal that took Deku. This caused the battlefield to become divided, with powerful figures such as Dabi, Toga, All for One, and TomurAFO scattered across different locations.

The word of Deku’s absence quickly spread, as it was revealed that Himiko Toga had taken him through her portal. Left with no alternative, the heroes were forced to begin the fight without Deku.

Hawks warmly greeted All for One, a scene directly inspired by a manga panel. At the same time, Mirko and Bakugo began their battle against TomurAFO in a sky cage known as the Coffin in the Sky.

Despite being trapped in the cage, Tomura was unable to use his Decay quirk due to Aizawa’s ability being used by Monoma outside. Mirko bravely advanced to confront the villain, and the ensuing battle was nothing short of breathtaking. However, TomurAFO surprised everyone with a strange move as his fingers began to uncontrollably grow in size.
