On Wednesday, December 13, fresh details emerged with the release of Weekly Shounen Jump 2024 issue #3, providing new insights into My Hero Academia season 7. The anime is scheduled to make its debut on May 4, preceded by four special “Memories” recap episodes, commencing on April 6.
My Hero Academia, penned and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi, is a Japanese shounen manga series that premiered in July 2014 and has been compiled into 39 volumes to date.
After concluding its sixth season in the Winter 2023 season, the upcoming seventh season is slated for broadcast in Spring 2024.
My Hero Academia Season 7 Release Date Confirmed For May 2024
Celebrating a decade of serialization in July 2024, My Hero Academia manga creator Kohei Horikoshi is committed to keeping fans entertained until Summer 2024. To kick off the festivities, the manga will release four special “Memories” recap episodes weekly, starting on April 6.
After the conclusion of these special episodes, the eagerly awaited My Hero Academia season 7 is set to premiere on May 4. The first episode will adapt chapter 139 from the manga series. Considering the anime’s late entry into the Spring 2024 anime season, there is speculation that the upcoming season may have a distinctive episode count.
Additionally, the franchise is gearing up for its fourth movie, scheduled for release in Summer 2024. While it’s anticipated, similar to previous films, that the anime’s fourth movie may coincide with the television anime premiere, exact details remain unconfirmed. The release timing in relation to the television anime’s airing is yet to be clarified.
Fans Reaction On My Hero Academia Season 7
The anime’s announcement caught fans by surprise, given the unusual timing of starting a season one month into a new one. This led to speculation among fans that Horikoshi and Studio Bones had a specific storyline in mind for the special recap episodes. However, the announcement also raised questions about the episode count for the upcoming seventh season.
The episode’s numbering and format added to the confusion, leaving fans uncertain about whether the special episodes would be considered part of season 7 or not. On a positive note, some fans expressed happiness that My Hero Academia season 7 would debut on May 4, coinciding with Star Wars Day. This alignment with Horikoshi’s interest in Star Wars added a fitting touch to the anime’s release date.
