Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers. Proceed with caution if you have not watched the show/movie.

My Hero Academia fans have a lot to look forward to with the upcoming Season 7 of the popular superhero anime. Although it was expected that the series would continue, there is speculation about whether this will be the final season or not. This uncertainty arises from the fact that the story in the original manga by Kōhei Horikoshi is still ongoing and has not been fully adapted to the screen.

My Hero Academia Season 6 was filled with thrilling moments and character development. We witnessed the heroes launching an attack on the Paranormal Liberation Front's base, saw Shigaraki causing widespread devastation, and even followed Deku through a phase of emotional turmoil. The season also provided significant insights into characters like Hawks and Endeavour, while giving emotional depth to mainstays like Ururaka and Bakugo.

Season 6 covered the story from the manga's volumes 24 to 30, encompassing chapters 253 to 322. If the upcoming season follows a similar pattern, it will likely cover chapters 329 to 399. As of now, the most recently published chapter of the manga is number 382. This means that the anime has caught up with the manga's publication, leaving fans uncertain about the show's return schedule.

In the past, new seasons of My Hero Academia have premiered approximately 12 months after the previous season's finale. For example, season five ended in September 2021, and season six started in October 2022. Based on this pattern, the best estimate for the release of My Hero Academia Season 7 would be in the spring of 2024.

It is worth noting that the series is entering its final phase, as revealed in season six. All For One, the main villain, breaks free from prison and gathers an army of diabolical villains. My Hero Academia Season 7 will likely continue from where season six left off and introduce the USA hero 'Star and Stripe.' Following the manga's storyline, viewers can expect to witness her battle against All For One and the aftermath of her devastating loss.

Additionally, My Hero Academia Season 7 will delve into a plot involving a betrayal by one member of Class 1A and will resolve the ongoing Todoroki family drama through an explosive battle between Dabi and Shoto.

Fans can also anticipate the introduction of new characters with unique abilities, known as quirks, which are inspired by everyday occurrences. Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia, has mentioned how these quirks are often sparked by moments of inspiration. For example, Gran Torino's quirk, which allows him to shoot propellant from his feet, was inspired by a showerhead.

Finally, the series will reach its climax with a major conflict between the beloved heroes and the combined forces of All For One and Shigaraki.

As eager fans await the release of My Hero Academia season seven, they can find clues about what's to come by reading the ongoing manga. However, it is advised to be cautious of major spoilers for those who prefer to experience the story through anime.

We will continue to provide updates on My Hero Academia Season 7 as soon as new information becomes available. Stay tuned to Devdiscourse for more news and details about the upcoming season of this beloved anime series.
