New My Hero Academia season 7 visual confirms 2024 premiere
The sixth season of My Hero Academia concluded in March 2023, and the anime announced the production of a seventh season with a teaser visual featuring Izuku Midoriya (Deku). A new visual has since been released in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #2 2024, revealing that My Hero Academia season 7 is set to premiere in Spring 2024, specifically in April 2024.
The new visual for the My Hero Academia anime features Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, and Shoto Todoroki. All four characters will seemingly have the same design, except for Ochaco who can be seen wearing a white shirt over her hero costume.
What to expect from My Hero Academia season 7?
The conclusion of season 6 of My Hero Academia introduced the arrival of Star and Stripe, the USA's No. 1 Hero. With Tomura Shigaraki's impending takeover of All For One in three days, All Might sought assistance from foreign heroes in the fight against the villain. Upon receiving the request, Star and Stripe promptly agreed to help and made her way to Japan to support All Might.

With Star and Stripe being the No. 1 Hero in the USA, it's clear that her quirk, New Order, is extraordinary. This could lead Tomura to attempt to defeat her in order to help his master, All For One, achieve his goal of stealing her quirk. As a result, fans can anticipate the upcoming season to center around the battle between Star and Stripe and Tomura Shigaraki.
Following this, the anime will probably shift its focus to the next story arc. The exact number of episodes for My Hero Academia season 7 has not been announced. As a result, it remains uncertain whether the Star and Stripe Arc will be the sole arc in the upcoming season or if it will be followed by additional story arcs.

As a die-hard fan of My Hero Academia, I am thrilled beyond measure about the confirmation of Season 7. The wait for Spring 2024 feels like an eternity, but I know it will be worth it to witness the continuation of this epic superhero saga. The new visual released in Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine Issue #2 2024 has only amplified my excitement, showcasing our beloved characters Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, and Shoto Todoroki in their heroic glory.
The conclusion of Season 6 left us on the edge of our seats with the introduction of Star and Stripe, the formidable No. 1 Hero from the USA. Her arrival promises an extraordinary clash with Tomura Shigaraki, who seeks to steal her powerful quirk, New Order, for his nefarious master, All For One. I can't wait to witness this epic battle unfold and see how it shapes the course of the upcoming season. The potential for intense action, emotional moments, and character development has me eagerly counting down the days until Spring 2024.
