Deku finally arrives at UA's Coffin in the Sky to face Shigaraki after Toga pulls him through the Warp Gate she was forced into. Seeing his fellow Class 1-A heroes at a disadvantage, especially Bakugo, whose life still hangs in the balance, will fuel Deku's rage and make him more determined to defeat the villain. The preview for My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 13, titled A Chain of Events, Across the Ages, teases an intense showdown between Deku and Shigaraki.

You can watch the My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 13 trailer below:

 

As shared by the anime's official website, the trailer for My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 13 starts with Deku arriving at UA. He is shocked to see utter devastation, with Beast Jeanist and Mirko severely injured, while Bakugo lies unconscious on the ground. Shigaraki unleashes his full power and lands a powerful punch, but Deku remains unfazed.

Alternatively, the preview stills show Masaki, Monoma, and Aizawa surprised by Deku’s arrival, giving them a glimmer of hope that they can win the fight against Shigaraki and save the injured heroes. After trying to distract Shigaraki with his peaches in the previous episode, Mirio again looks determined to bring the villain down. Supported by the previous One For All users, Deku is about to unleash all his power to face Shigaraki.

Shigaraki, however, remains unbothered as he prepares to fight the hero he hates most. A flashback scene is also hinted at, with a young All For One shown choking the second user of the One For All Quirk Kudo. In the final two stills, Deku and Shigaraki are seen rushing toward each other to begin their battle.
