With less than one week to go until the premiere of My Hero Academia Season 7, a new visual Star and Stripe has been revealed.
The No. 1 hero from the United States, Star and Stripe — voiced by Romi Park — will play a pivotal role in the upcoming seventh season of the anime. The new season will follow the story of the original manga series, covering the "Star and Stripe," "U.A. Traitor," and the first parts of the "Final War" arc. Star and Stripe arrives to fight Tomura Shigaraki by All Might's request, while Deku's confrontation with Shigaraki escalates.
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
My Hero Academia Season 7 is set to premiere in Japan on May 4, 2024 at 2:30 a.m. PT / 5:30 a.m. ET. Dubs for the series also air in English on Crunchyroll in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS; although, we do not know when they will be released for the new season yet.
Season 7 of My Hero Academia is directed by Kenji Nagasaki and Naomi Nakayama at animation studio BONES. Yusuke Kuroda provides the series composition and scripts, Yoshikhiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima provide the character designs, and Yuki Hayashi provides the music.
Crunchyroll just wrapped up the My Hero Academia: Memories mini-series this weekend. The four-episode special featured recaps of the "epic moment of the series thus far." The final episode released this weekend, leading into the debut of Season 7 on May 4th.
It was revealed this weekend that the premiere episode of Season 7 is titled "In the Nick of Time! A Big-Time Maverick From the West!" This undoubtedly references Star and Stripe's arrival in the series.
My Hero Academia Season 7 is shaping up to be the most intense arc yet, so you definitely won't want to miss it. Looking even further ahead, My Hero Academia The Movie: You're Next, the fourth original film for the anime, is scheduled to release in Japan on August 2nd. Last week, the film's sound director offered a promising update on the film's production.
