The season wrapped up during the intense clash between Armored All Might and a youthful AFO, while also providing glimpses of Deku engaged in battle with Shigaraki. This portion adapted a significant section of the manga, covering chapters 329 through 398.

Studio Bones excelled in translating the vivid visual storytelling of Horikoshi’s superhero saga onto the screen. The exceptional visual effects, powerful soundtrack, and sharp animation enriched every moment, evoking deep emotional responses. The pacing was meticulously crafted, with each episode encapsulating approximately three to four chapters, allowing for thoughtful adaptation of the manga.

While it is common for anime to incorporate original scenes to enrich storytelling, My Hero Academia largely adhered to the manga source material, featuring minimal anime-exclusive content. Yet, there are still a few unique scenes sprinkled throughout this season.

Season 7 navigated through notable arcs, including the Star and Stripe Arc, the U.A. Traitor Arc, and the early sequences of the Final War Arc. Viewers witnessed the formidable Star and Stripe, the No. 1 Pro Hero from the United States, stepping into action. Inspired by All Might, her Quirk, New Order, gained significant attention among fans. However, her involvement was brief, as she tragically fell during her confrontation with Shigaraki.

The season also uncovered the identity of the U.A. High traitor, Yuga Aoyama, who found himself in a dire situation orchestrated by AFO, forcing him and his family to comply. Nonetheless, he redeemed himself by drawing out the formidable Demon King and his forces for an ultimate showdown with the Heroes. Season 7 effectively laid the groundwork for the impending Final War Arc, crystallizing the stakes and motivations behind the Heroes’ battles.
