Anticipated Events in Season 7 of My Hero Academia
Season 6 of My Hero Academia will include 25 episodes, and it will likely air through the end of March 2023. The average time between seasons in the past was about 13 months. Assuming that Season 6 concludes in March 2023 and no production delays occur in between, this would put the launch of Season 7 in late March or early April 2024.
Season 6 comes to a close. The Paranormal Liberation War (PLW) arc is the longest in the My Hero Academia manga, and it will be adapted in its entirety for Season 6. However, the remaining 23 chapters are extremely action-packed and will require more than seven episodes to properly adapt.
According to the current chapter count system, the events of Tartarus Escapees/Villain Hunt, which totals 69 chapters, should conclude Season 6. The structure suggests, however, that Studio Bones will speed up the action in the middle chapters even more. The last two episodes were adapted from four chapters each, therefore it’s possible that the Star and Stripe arc (chapters 328–334) will be included in season six. For maximum shock value, they can switch around some events in chapter 335 and have the U.A. traitor’s identity revealed as the season finale. Until then, Season 7 has 39 completed episodes.
Season 7 of My Hero Academia: What to Expect
Whatever the state of the Final War arc is in by the time My Hero Academia is adapted, season 7 will have to cover it in full. Horikoshi had promised to wrap up the series by the end of 2022 at Jump Festa 2022, but that did not happen. There are still a lot of loose ends in the story that needs to be addressed, so I wouldn’t expect the series to wrap up for at least another 30 issues.
The deadlines set by Studio Bones are notoriously aggressive. The Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime was scheduled to end one month after the manga ended. Season 7 of the show could therefore premiere before the manga is complete. The manga is currently on chapter 374, so it’s also possible that Studio Bones will opt for a shorter eighth season with fewer episodes if author Horikoshi takes longer than expected to finish the manga. On the other hand, everything rides on the outcome of the current season.
Updates for Season 7
It’s widely assumed that season 7 of My Hero Academia will be the series’ last, and speculation over when it will be released has reached a fever pitch amongst loyal viewers. Based on the length of the previous seasons, the duration between instalments, and other factors, the seventh season is likely to premiere in April 2024, providing mangaka Horikoshi wraps up the story by the end of the year (2023).
Season 7 of My Hero Academia will pick up where season 6 left off in terms of plot points. The length of season 7 will also be determined by how many chapters remain to be adapted, as well as whether or not Studio Bones and Horikoshi choose to include any new, original anime material in any of those seasons. What follows is a detailed analysis of the number of chapters and episodes, their scope, the storylines still to come, & when we can expect to see them.
If season 7 of My Hero Academia is indeed the series finale, then the show will end on a high note.
The 1st season of My Hero Academia aired from April to June of 2016, recreating the stories of the Entrance Exam, Quirk Apprehension Test, Battle Trial, and U.S.J. in a total of 13 episodes.

Totaling 49 chapters, Season 2 (airing April 1, 2017 – September 30, 2017) adapted the storylines of the U.A. Sports Festival, Vs. Hero Killer, and Final Exams.
