My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7 was released on June 15, 2024, and this episode was the most improvised and eye-catching episode so far, a statement that changes after every episode.

The episode officially commenced the final war between the heroes and the villains with a clumsy start where Izuku was transported to a different location where he shouldn't be. The episode also showcased the fight with TomurAFO, despite Deku's absence affecting the heroes, they continued fighting.

The episode ends with a tease of the second round of the battle between Dabi and Shoto. The episode used heavy CGI animation which, surprisingly, was aesthetic and fans worldwide appreciated it. As always, the fights were also improvised to perfection, something Studio Bones has become an expert in.

Comparing My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7 to its manga chapters

My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7 was titled Inflation and it adapted the chapters 347-349. The episode commenced where it left off in the previous episode as TomurAFO showcased the abnormal growth of this body which Aizawa's quirk couldn't cancel.

Mirko's artificial limbs were damaged during the rampage of the villain, however, she replaced them quickly. The spreading of TomurAFO's fingers, animated through CGI, looked very smooth and not awkward at all.

Aizawa then contacted Izuku, who was requesting a wrap from Monoma, but as he was using Aizawa's quirk at the moment, Aizawa told Izuku to return on his own. Best Jeanist also looked worried about fighting such a strong villain alone but he was assisted by strong companions.

As expected, the fight against TomurAFO was heavily improvised to make it look as real as possible and it can be safely said that Studio Bones did an amazing job nailing every panel from the manga chapter in My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7.

The situation at Okuto Island

My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7 then shifted to Okuto Island where Gang Orca was fighting villains accompanied by some other heroes like Uraraka, Tsuyu, and Izuku. The fight between Gang Orca and Nomu was extended compared to the manga chapters but it looked aesthetic.

As Urararka and Tsuya fought to the best of their abilities, Deku also fought using his quirk and fans got to see his 'flick' move, which was an anime-original scene, after a very long time. Toga then entered the fight and Studio Bones faithfully adapted every scene of her's.

Her bloodlust couldn't be sensed from Danger Sense because this was her love for the protagonist. The fight turned heated between these two forces until Uraraka interfered and told Deku to run away towards the main battlefield. This part of the episode was the most heavily improvised one from the manga.

Deku then combined three forces i.e. the Fa Jin quirk, the Float quirk, and his newly updated Air Force gear (designed by Hatsume) to create an air pressure that helped him soar through the sky towards the main battlefield. This scene was also improvised as the animation studio depicted what Deku did to activate all of these forces to fly.

The Two Flashfires

My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7 then focused on the Camino Ward where Dabi had wreaked havoc and burned the whole area using his flames. As established from the previous episode, the Dabi panels could be the favorite of the animation studio as every scene of his is animated with perfection.

The Camino Ward was showcased to be engulfed in Blue Flames, Dabi's quirk, which, although, an anime-original detail, fitted the atmosphere perfectly, depicting the themes of despair and anger.

My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7 also included some comic book-style texts in this scene like 'FWOOSH.' Although such texts look good in comedy series, these somehow fit the atmosphere of the fight, making it look more aesthetic.

The preview visual for the next episode also teased the fight between these two brothers, calling them the Two Flashfires. Moreover, the episode could also revisit the origins of Dabi.
