Thank You Kōhei Horikoshi: My Hero Academia Season 7 Has Six Episodes With More Than 9.0 IMDb Rating

Despite My Hero Academia‘s controversial epilogue, the animated series continues to make waves online. MHA Season 7 is marking the end of Deku’s journey and All for One’s final attempt to thwart humanity’s future and rule above everyone. Kōhei Horikoshi has often faced criticism of poor pacing and convoluted plotting.

Throughout Deku’s journey, Horikoshi introduces several terrifying villains and lets all hell break loose–pointing its story toward an ending.

From America’s No.1 Hero’s demise to Bakugo’s tragic fate, MHA Season 7 has left several fans awe-struck battling a rollercoaster ride of emotions and praying for Heroes’ success. Nevertheless, Season 7 has emerged as the franchise’s most profitable and fan-favorite MHA season, with about six episodes receiving over 9.0 IMDb Rating, which left the most memorable impression on the fans.

With the addition of Season 7, My Hero Academia has emerged as a new successor to earn such a notable feat in the community. A total of six episodes have scored over 9.0 rating on IMDb, each episode delivering a cinematic experience for fans.

MHA Season 7 Episode 11: Light Fades to Rain (9.6 IMDb Rating)

Throughout Deku’s journey, Katsuki Bakugo has influenced a lot of Midoriya’s character after All Might. The journey of two young boys, from rivals to comrades, has left a huge impact on the fans.

Bakugo quickly established his status as a crowd favorite, thanks to his cocky personality. Naturally, witnessing their beloved character receiving a deadly blow from Shigaraki and being left in a state of death had many fans on the edge of their seats.

Episode 11 showcased Heroes losing the upper hand on Shigaraki because of Midoriya’s absence. Even after receiving several life-threatening injuries, Bakugo never showed any signs of retreat or fear. At the end of the episode, Bakugo successfully lands a hit on Shigaraki but sustains severe injuries in the process, leaving his fate uncertain.

Episode 13: A Chain of Events, Across the Ages (9.4 IMDb Rating)

The second-highest episode on the list is Episode 13, which featured Midoriya’s epic rage moment as he went all out against Shigaraki after seeing his best friend Bakugo on the verge of dying.

Season 6 ended with Deku’s learning all about One for All and mastering his previous users’ quirks. One for all stockpiles the users’ power while allowing the ability to be inherited or passed on, with Deku introduced as the ninth user of the quirk. Season 7 Episode 13 showcased our beloved protagonist’s terrifying powers as he unleashed several attacks on Shigaraki and stood toe to toe against the strongest villain, leaving fans optimistic about Heroes’ victory.

Episode 2: Specter (9.1 IMDb Rating)

At the end of Season 6, fans were introduced to America’s No.1 Hero, Star and Stripe, who reignited many fans’ hope of Shigaraki’s upcoming doom. Unfortunately, before arriving in Japan, she encountered Shigaraki where America’s No.1 Hero lost to the strongest villain, leaving several heroes shaken by the outcome.

Star and Stripe could place rules on New Order herself, allowing her to alter the properties and effects of her quirk. While Tomura Shigaraki tries to steal her quirk, Cathleen purposely renders her quirk ineffective, making several fans respect and fall for her character.

Episode 8: Two Flashfires (9.1 IMDb Rating)

Dabi’s true identity as Endeavor’s son and Todoroki’s brother left several fans astounded by Kōhei Horikoshi’s splendid narrative. As Endeavor gets overwhelmed with guilt, Shoto Todoroki decides to confront his brother and bring back his sanity alone.

Episode 8 features the clash of Endeavor’s two sons and a brawl of firepower, where Shoto emerges victorious for a short time. After Todoroki’s decline in focus following Season 2, his long-awaited return to the spotlight was met with positive feedback from fans, earning a 9.1 IMDb rating.

Episode 16: The Chain Thus Far (9.1 IMDb Rating)

Despite the heroes’ immense efforts to separate the League of Villains, Episode 16 featured the reunion of Dabi, All for One, and Himiko Toga, which dramatically shifted the momentum of the battlefield in favor of the villains.

One of the most impactful deaths back in the MHA Season 6 was Twice, whose tragic demise left many fans devastated. After learning about Twice’s oddball personality, heroes realized that the duplicating villain had the potential to be the biggest threat to the Hero Society. With the assistance of Toga’s quirk, Twice’s true potential has finally been unleashed, leaving Class 1-A in a terrible predicament.

Episode 10: Wounded Hero, Burning Bright and True!! (9.1 IMDb Rating)

With every Class 1-A student shining moments receiving a warm welcome from several fans, we can’t forget Japan’s No.1 Hero, Endeveaur, and his battle against All for One. Since the beginning of the series, Kōhei Horikoshi introduced All for One as the final villain of the series whose abilities were showcased as unparalleled in strength.

Owing to his title of No.1 Hero, Endeavor takes on the League of Villains’ mastermind but can’t overcome his opponent’s immense strength. Regardless, he manages to push past his limits and unleash a deadly blow on All for One, leaving fans almost certain about the villain’s death.
