No My Hero Academia Season 7 next week: Why was Episode 12 delayed? Release date, streaming deets and more

3 months ago | 32 Views

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 for the best-selling manga is much closer while the anime will still continue to entertain 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 of 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 illustration of the character, which instantly amassed millions of views and thousands of likes within hours. At the time of writing, the X/Twitter post has 2.4 million views, more than 150K likes and over 4.7K saves.
