The My Hero Academia Super Stage at Jump Festa 2024 delivered a trove of fascinating insights and information about how the series developed. For instance, fans learned that detective Naomasa Tsukauchi was initially conceived as All For One's agent, and Endeavor was originally supposed to die in season 6. However, Horikoshi decided against these choices. The most significant announcements, however, were regarding the upcoming 2024 releases.

Foremost among the Super Stage event announcements was the announcement of the release date for the My Hero Academia season 7. The next installment is set to debut on May 4, 2024. The season will begin with the Star and Stripe Arc, featuring All Might's pupil, the American Hero known as Star and Stripe. This character, voiced by the accomplished voice actor Romi Park, is expected to play a crucial role in the upcoming series.

The series will then move towards the decisive battle between the U.A. High Students and the villains led by All For One, as teased in the promotional video. The anime will be broadcast on Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV, with new episodes releasing every Saturday at 5:30 PM JST.

Prior to the new season's launch, a four-part special, titled My Hero Academia Memories, will be aired on April 6, 13, 20, and 27. These episodes will not only provide a recap of the series but will also introduce new scenes.

A new movie, titled My Hero Academia The Movie 4, will be released in the summer of 2024, giving fans of the series plenty to look forward to in the coming year.

However, in his rather ambiguous message which was delivered at Jump Festa 2024, Horikoshi refrained from making another prediction about the conclusion of the manga. He had previously projected that the manga would end in 2023.
