My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 8 Preview and Expectations

Just a few days prior to the release of My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 8, titled ‘Two Flashfires,’ Studio BONES shared a preview synopsis and images for the upcoming episode through its official sources on Thursday, June 20, 2024. The episode is set to air on Saturday, June 22, 2024, in Japan and will be available globally on Crunchyroll and Netflix.

The previous episode of the anime featured Himiko Toga attacking Deku and declaring her love for him. As a result, Asui and Ochako took over the battle, allowing Deku to continue on his own to Shigaraki’s location. Meanwhile, Dabi was confronted by Shoto Todoroki and the Flame Sidekickers at Kamino Ward.

Please be aware that this article includes spoilers from the My Hero Academia anime.

Dabi’s Origin Revealed to Shoto in My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 8

At the end of the previous episode, Shoto Todoroki questioned his older brother Toya Todoroki about why he did not come back home after surviving the wildfire at Sekoto Peak. To Shoto’s surprise, Dabi was willing to share the story and began to recount how he survived the fire and why he took on the identity of Toya.

Hence, based on the preview image of Toya, viewers can expect a flashback of Toya Todoroki immediately after he survived the incident at Sekoto Peak. This will potentially shed light on the progression of Toya’s skin burns and his decision to stay away from the Todoroki family.

The previous episode of the anime featured Burnin, Kido, and Onima joining Shoto Todoroki in confronting Dabi. As a result, it is likely that Endeavor’s sidekicks will aid Shoto in his battle against the villain.

Shoto Todoroki has been clenching his fist, possibly preparing to charge an attack, for quite some time. As a result, it is likely that the hero will require some additional time before executing the move. In this scenario, the Flaming Sidekickers could engage in combat with the villain while Shoto readies his potential ultimate technique.

‘Two Flashfires’ is the title of the upcoming episode 8 of season 7 of My Hero Academia. This could potentially foreshadow a confrontation between the Todoroki brothers, both possessing the ability of Flashfire.

It is possible that both Dabi and Shoto Todoroki could push their bodies beyond their limits in such an event. However, as fans may recall, Shoto’s ability to control his body’s temperature through his Cold side gives him a slight edge over his older brother. Therefore, viewers will have to wait for the next episode to see if Shoto’s advantage will help him defeat Dabi.
