The seventh season of the My Hero Academia anime television series was produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki (chief director) and Naomi Nakayama, following the story of Kōhei Horikoshi's original manga series of the same name from the beginning of the 34th volume through the end of the 39th volume (chapters 329–398). Unlike the previous five seasons which consisted of 25 episodes each, the season ran for 21 episodes. The seventh season aired on ytv and NTV from May 4 to October 12, 2024, with 4 "Memories" recap specials having aired in the preceding month of April.
The season introduces Star and Stripe, America's #1 Pro Hero, as she arrives to fight Tomura Shigaraki by All Might's request. While the U.A. High students and the remaining Pro Heroes take time in preparing for the final battle against the villains of the Paranormal Liberation Front, things become complicated as one of Izuku's classmates is revealed to be a mole. With the young hero students contemplating whether they can save "villains", the Pro Heroes come together with a plan to divide and conquer the villains' side as the war between both sides to determine the fate of the world begins.
Crunchyroll has licensed the season along with the "Memories" recap specials outside of Asia and is streaming it along with an English dub two weeks after the original airing on its streaming service of the same name. Medialink licensed the season in Asia-Pacific.
