Tokyo, July 20: My Hero Academia Season 7 Part 2 only recently picked off the ground. However, after just two episode broadcasts, the beloved anime based on Kohei Horikoshi’s shonen manga series is again heading out for a week’s break. According to the revised release schedule, Episode 12 of the ongoing season will not be aired on Saturday, July 27, but instead on a later date, which also happens to fall in the same week as the My Hero Academia manga finale.
A lot has been happening in the franchise, considering both the TV anime saga and the manga trajectory have entered their final arcs. Nevertheless, the end of the best-selling manga is much closer, and the anime will continue entertaining fans. Per official reports, the final chapter of Horikoshi’s magnum opus will drop on August 5, 2024, a decade after it began being serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump.
The first week of August is bound to be a bittersweet stretch for fans of the superhero anime, as the cinematic premiere of the My Hero Academia: You’re Next movie is also slated for August 2 in Japan.
Katsuki Bakugo was one of the most central characters in the most recent broadcast of My Hero Academia Season 7, Episode 11, on July 20. Just in time for the episode’s premiere, the mangaka also published a new character illustration, instantly amassing millions of views and thousands of likes within hours. At the time of writing, the X/Twitter post had 2.4 million views, more than 150K likes, and over 4.7K saves.
The superhero anime’s seventh season is going full-throttle with its action saga. However, it will again take off for a week’s hiatus amid its ongoing broadcast schedule and there will be no episode next week on July 27. Episode 12 of the ongoing season will instead air on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at 5:30 pm JST. The official delay is credited to the Olympics broadcast.
