After Shoto Todoroki managed to stop his long-lost brother Dabi, aka Toyo Todoroki, in the previous episode, Shoto’s victor will inspire other heroes as the fight against the villains continues. There are several villains they still need to defeat, and they’re all evidently having a hard time doing so, especially Shigaraki. That said, the focus will now be on another fight, and the preview for My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 9, titled Extras, shows Endeavor and Hawks facing All For One.
You can watch the My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 9 trailer below:
As released by the anime’s official website, the trailer for My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 9 begins with Tenya Iida looking after an exhausted Shoto following his fight against Dabi. All Might looks relieved after winning one of the eight battles and tells other heroes about it. The next scene shows Katsuki Bakugo facing a group of villains led by Spinner. Mezo Shoji then takes the scene as he prepares to launch an attack when AFO suddenly appears. Hawks and Endeavor take to the skies to fight AFO.
Alternatively, the new episode’s stills feature Spinner alongside his fellow villains, like Black Hood Executive, and Shoto tearing up after his fight against Dabi. AFO unleashes his powers through his fingertips. Hawks looks determined to bring AFO down, while the next still shows him with Endeavor as they prepare to attack.
Surrounded by his flames, Endeavor is about to launch a powerful punch against AFO. However, the next still seems to hint that something unexpected happened as he appears surprised. For the last still, the Class 1-A student Kyoka Jiro joins the fight against AFO.

What to Expect from My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 9
My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 9 will focus on Endeavor and Hawks’ fight against AFO. However, these two aren’t the only ones who will try to defeat the League of Villains founder, as they will get the help of the other Class 1-A students assigned to their location, and they may be the “extras” the title refers to. Sure, they may not be as strong as AFO, but they’re about to prove their powers and abilities in this battle.

With AFO’s ability to psychologically manipulate his opponents, he may use this skill as an advantage against Endeavor. The villain may trick the No. 1 Pro Hero by using his son, Dabi. But with Hawks by his side, the No. 2 Pro Hero will surely help Endeavor to stay on his senses.
