After a long wait, My Hero Academia Season 7 will finally premiere this weekend and introduce the US hero Star and Stripe. As many look forward to seeing her fight against Tomura Shigaraki, the My Hero Academia: Memories finale has set the stage for their epic battle.
My Hero Academia returned this month with four special episodes to refresh fans on the important events in the first six seasons.
The final episode also gives fans a glimpse of what’s to come by sharing a new look at a big event in Season 7.
Shigaraki and Star and Stripe’s Epic Fight in My Hero Academia Season 7
The sixth season finale showed Japan in ruins, with All Might asking other countries for help sending in their heroes to keep their forces strong against All For One and Shigaraki.
Sadly, many countries have rejected the Symbol of Peace's request, but one hero stood up: the United States of America’s No. 1 Pro Hero Star and Stripe.
Also known as Cathleen Bate, she makes her way to the Land of the Rising Sun to help Deku and the rest of the Hero Society face the threat that Shigaraki and the Paranormal Liberation Front bring.
Memories Episode 4 post-credits scene revealed a preview for the upcoming My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 1, titled In the Nick of Time! A Big-Time Maverick from the West!
After showing the officers preparing for a war to come, Spinner can be seen talking to All For One as they get ready to wreak havoc.
Star and Stripe then takes the scene, showing her arrival to start the fight against Shigaraki and defend the people of Japan alongside her fleet.
But Shigaraki is never threatened by the US’s No. 1 Pro Hero. He even waits for over the skies.
As he finally catches a glimpse of the female hero, he prepares to unleash his Quirk, which Star and Stripe get ready to counter.
“All Might sent a request to heroes worldwide to be temporarily dispatched to Japan. Ignoring the heads of state reluctant to send anyone, one hero boldly took action: America's number one hero, Star and Stripe. America's number one even has a different art style,” the promo for My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 1, which could be listed as Episode 5 following Memories’ four recap episodes, reads.
My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 1 will be released in Japan on Saturday, May 4, and streamed on Crunchyroll and Hulu internationally.
