The My Hero Academia anime has six completed seasons to its name, and fans can't wait for Season 7 to begin airing in early May. There are plenty of unresolved conflicts and ongoing plot threads for Season 7 to work with, including the ongoing war with the Paranormal Liberation Front, Deku's using new Quirks in One For All, and Tomura Shigaraki's fearsome new powers.
Meanwhile, manga readers know exactly what anime-only fans are in for, and they can't wait to see some of the best characters, scenes, and setpieces brought to life in anime form. The manga's current battle is too lengthy for Season 7 to conclude, but Season 7 can at least cover most of this final war and hit all the best plot points to allow a probable Season 8 to conclude the anime entirely. Stunning revelations, brand-new characters, bizarre new powers, and cool new fight scenes all await My Hero Academia fans as Season 7 prepares to launch.
10 Star and Stripe's Battle Against Tomura Shigaraki Will Rock the World
The end of Season 6 briefly hinted at the arrival of an all-new pro hero—one not seen in the anime or even in the three current My Hero Academia movies. This new hero is Star and Stripe, the #1 pro hero in the United States of America. As her hairstyle and flamboyant persona would suggest, Star and Stripe is a huge admirer of All Might, having seen him save the day when she was just a kid.
Star and Stripe will burst onto the scene riding atop a bomber, with a few more bomber planes for support. What follows is one of the manga's best fights so far, with Star and Stripe using her incredible New Order Quirk and the bombers' high-tech missiles to take the fight to Tomura Shigaraki in a big way. However, it may take a little more than that to put the new symbol of evil down for good.
9 The UA Traitor Will Finally Be Revealed
All the way back in Season 1, the League of Villains snuck past UA's security and broke into the USJ complex, prompting Present Mic and the other teachers to suspect a traitor. For years, the My Hero Academia anime let that subplot lie dormant, to the point some fans might have forgotten about it. Season 7 will change all that and conclude the traitor subplot for all to see.
To everyone's shock, UA's mole is the blond student Yuga Aoyama, but it wasn't his own idea to support the League from inside UA. He was born Quirkless, so his desperate parents made a deal with All For One to give him the Navel Laser Quirk in exchange for Yuga being All For One's agent. Fearing for his parents' lives, Yuga complied, wishing he had a way out of that terrible dilemma.
8 Mezo Shoji's Idealistic Clash With Spinner Will Give MHA Fans Something New to Think About
For the most part, Season 7 will focus on high-stakes battles such as Deku vs Tomura Shigaraki and the drama of the Todoroki family, but the narrative will also find time for intriguing subplots to add more thematic depth to the story. Characters like Spinner and Mezo Shoji may not be headliners, but they can still fight a side battle with unique stakes.
The topic of heteromorph Quirks will come up, with Spinner the villain representing all the maligned or outcast heteromorphs who feel rejected by mainstream society. It will fall to a heroic heteromorph, Mezo Shoji, to push back and encourage all hetermorphs to favor peace, understanding, and compassion over anger and revenge.
7 All Might Will Fight All For One With an Armored Suit
Ever since Season 3, All Might has lacked the power of One For All and has been stuck in his skinny form. However, based on the last few manga volumes, All Might will return to the fray in My Hero Academia's seventh anime season to fight yet another battle after his swan song fight with All For One back in the Kamino Ward.
All Might will throw himself back into the war against villainy not with a Quirk, but with a set of high-tech armor that reminded fans of Iron Might of Marvel Comics fame. All Might doesn't expect to actually defeat All For One with his "Iron Might" form, but he can still buy time for Deku and the other heroes, and every minute counts when the heroes are fighting to save Japan from the symbol of evil.
6 UA Will Enter Fortress Mode and Take Flight
My Hero Academia fans have gotten used to the UA school being a mere backdrop for Deku's education, but sometimes, that school can be a plot point—such as the USJ compound invasion or the episode where the students moved into their on-campus dorms. In Season 7, the UA school will become more than a home base for the heroes; it will be their fortress.
The UA school still has many high-tech secrets within its walls and under its foundation, more than the Paranormal Liberation Front would ever expect. Season 7 will show the UA school enter fortress mode and hover high in the sky, serving as a launching point for the heroes' counterattack against the villain army. It will be My Hero Academia's version of the helicarrier found in the MCU.
5 Tomura Shigaraki Will Enter His Mutated Form
Season 6 of My Hero Academia re-introduced Tomura Shigaraki with his many new Quirks to make him the next All For One, but that's not his only trick as the heroes vs villains war enters round 2. Season 7 will up the stakes yet again with Tomura's next form, turning him into a body horror monster.
Tomura's powers were always based on hands, and his mutated form will take that to the next level, allowing him to use hand-based armor and attack his enemies from a medium distance with fleshy appendages of fingers and hands. Worst of all, Shota Aizawa's Erasure Quirk won't have any effect on a bodily mutation like that, so a new solution must be found before Tomura overwhelms everyone.
4 Mirio Togata Will Return to Fight Once Again
Back in Season 4, the powerhouse student hero Mirio Togata lost his Permeation Quirk fighting the villain Overhaul. Mirio took that loss in stride, and he certainly didn't lose his strength or warrior's intuition. As the later manga chapters showed, Mirio regained his Quirk thanks to Eri, making him a late-hour addition to the heroes' side.
Mirio will return to the fray in Season 7 to help his friends hold off the seemingly unstoppable Tomura Shigaraki, and his impressive Quirk will shine once again. Many fans will agree that Mirio was overdue to get his Quirk back so he can continue to shine as UA's best student of his generation.
3 Dabi/Toya Todoroki Will Fight His Family One More Time
Season 6 featured Dabi's shocking announcement: he was Toya Todoroki, Endeavor's firstborn. Even if Dabi's reveal felt like a distraction at the time, Season 7 will cash in on it, and Season 8 might finish the job. Dabi will feature prominently among the villains' best fighters in the final battle, and for him, it's intensely personal.
Dabi will do anything and everything to wipe out his own family and destroy the society that his father Endeavor worked so hard to protect. It will fall to all of the Todorokis—most of all Shoto and Endeavor—to halt Dabi in his tracks and not just defeat him as a villain, but reconcile with him as a wayward family member. Such a battle will also push Shoto to new heights as a hero.
2 Himiko Toga Will Use Sad Man's Parade
In Season 5 of My Hero Academia, Twice fought the Meta Liberation Army with his fellow villains and pushed his Quirk to the next level. He made an entire army of himself and called it Sad Man's Parade, a formidable technique with no clear upper limit. Then, Twice died fighting the heroes in Season 6, but that wasn't the end of Sad Man's Parade.
Himiko Toga has a sample of Twice's blood, and she can do more than assume his likeness. With her Quirk awakened, Himiko can use the Quirks of the people she mimics, so she can use Twice's Quirk and bring back Sad Man's Parade in the final battle in Season 7. That one-woman army of Twice clones will be a unique and serious threat to Deku and the heroes.
1 Himiko Toga Will Fight Ochaco Uraraka One Last Time
Himiko Toga will be a star in Season 7 not just because of her use of Sad Man's Parade, but also her feud with her hero counterpart, Ochaco Uraraka. For a while now, the two of them have been reflections of each other, since they both strive to be more like their personal hero, Deku. They also express "love" for Deku in totally inverse ways.
In recent anime episodes, Himiko and Ochaco fought as enemies and rivals, and they will do it again in Season 7. Each of them will give it their all in their next anime battle, but there's more at stake than who wins the fight. Himiko Toga will keep struggling with her quest to find validation and acceptance, and only Ochaco Uraraka can help—if she chooses to.
