My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 1, titled In the Nick of Time! A Big-Time Maverick from the West!, will finally be released this weekend. After the previous season showed Japan in ruins, All Might asked for the help of other countries’ heroes, but only one hero stood up. The anime has released the trailer and preview stills for the upcoming premiere episode, and it shows Star and Stripe’s arrival, though Shigaraki is getting in her way to stop her from helping Japan, its people, and the Pro Heroes.
You can see the preview below:
The My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 1 trailer begins with the military preparing for the big war. The scene then shifts to All for One sitting on his throne while talking to Spinner. From there, Star and Stripe appears, alongside the Navy fleet.
The next scene features Best Jeanist and Hawks discussing inside a car while Endeavor takes the skies, seemingly preparing to welcome Star and Stripe. The terror begins when Shigaraki waits for Star and Stripe. And as these two finally meet, a battle begins.
