In a high-profile battle between justice and evil, the seventh season of the popular Japanese anime series “My Hero Academia” has reached its climax. To help viewers gain a deeper understanding of the situation, the production team has released a new series of 4 episodes titled “My Hero Academia Memories”, which delves into the inner worlds of each important character.
The season kicks off with the introduction of the top hero in America, “All Might”. This character’s design is inspired by the American flag, and the prominent muscular lines on the skin-tight suit are a clear tribute to her greatest hero and mentor, “All Might”. Upon hearing that her mentor is in trouble, she wastes no time in leading her companions at full speed towards Japan.
Park Romi is the voice actress who brings to life this straightforward and charming top American hero. Due to her frequent voice-over work for powerful female characters, her voice carries a hint of huskiness. In addition to voicing male characters such as the protagonist Edward in “Fullmetal Alchemist” and Toshiro in “Bleach”, her slightly deeper tone has also given an elegant female voice to Hange Zoe in “Attack on Titan”.
The manga series “My Hero Academia”, with a global circulation of over 100 million copies, has been serialized in Shueisha’s “Weekly Shonen Jump” by mangaka Kohei Horikoshi since 2014. The story unfolds in a world where superpowers known as “Quirks” have become commonplace. It follows Izuku Midoriya, who inherits the great hero All Might’s powerful Quirk “One For All”, as he grows alongside his classmates at U.A. High School and together they strive against evil forces in an uplifting tale of inspiration.
After the attempted “total war” in the sixth season to sweep away enemy forces, both sides paid a heavy price. The outcomes of the war have led to a decrease in societal trust towards heroes, and even their downfall. Despite Midoriya’s desire to take on the enemies alone, his classmates from U.A. High, who have grown with him, stand firmly by his side, vowing to fight together with him courageously and united until the end.
On the other hand, Japan has issued an urgent call for help to the world, requesting heroes from all around the globe to gather in Japan and combat the world-threatening villain, “All For One”. While countries are still dealing with international procedures for their heroes, America’s top hero, “All Might”, cannot wait and leads a massive group directly to Japan without delay.
The seventh season of “My Hero Academia” is set to premiere on May 4th.
