So, you’ve been bingeing My Hero Academia like there’s no tomorrow, and now you’re wondering: "When the heck is Episode 13 of Season 7 dropping?" Trust me, I get it. The wait can feel like years (okay, maybe not that long, but still). We’ve been through emotional rollercoasters, mind-blowing fights, and some serious character development, and now, we’re just dying to find out what happens next.
Well, my fellow anime enthusiasts, you’re in the right place! I’m here to give you all the juicy details about My Hero Academia Season 7, Episode 13, including when it’s coming out, where you can watch it, and, of course, some light spoilers (don’t worry, I won’t ruin everything). So, let’s dive in!
When is My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 13 Coming Out?
Alright, first things first—when is this coveted episode hitting the screens? Mark your calendars, because Episode 13 of My Hero Academia Season 7 is set to drop on August 17, 2024. Yep, that’s a Saturday, so you can spend your weekend soaking in all the action.
Now, if you’re like me and you’re living in the U.S., here’s when you should be glued to your screen:
- 2:30 AM Pacific Time (PT)
- 5:30 AM Eastern Time (ET)
I know, those are some ungodly hours for us stateside folks, but hey, we’ve stayed up for anime before, right? If you’re in the UK, it’ll be 10:30 AM BST, which seems much more reasonable for your sleep schedule. But hey, who needs sleep when there’s a Deku vs. Shigaraki showdown waiting for you?
Global Release Times:
- Pacific Time (PT): 2:30 AM
- Mountain Time (MT): 3:30 AM
- Central Time (CT): 4:30 AM
- Eastern Time (ET): 5:30 AM
- British Summer Time (BST): 10:30 AM
- Japan Standard Time (JST): 5:30 PM
So, no matter where you are, you can plan accordingly. And if you’re a night owl like me, you can prepare some snacks, maybe some coffee (or energy drinks if you really wanna go hard), and be ready for the action.
Where to Watch My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 13?
Now that you know when the episode’s coming out, the next big question is: Where can you watch it? If you’re already a seasoned anime veteran, you probably know the drill, but for those who are newer to the game—Crunchyroll is your best bet.
Yup, Crunchyroll is the place to catch the latest episodes of My Hero Academia almost as soon as they air in Japan. You’ll get the subtitled version first, which is always my personal go-to. The English dubbed version typically follows about a week later. So, if you prefer hearing Deku’s voice in English, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer, but it’s well worth it.
Here are some other streaming platforms where you might find the episode:
- Hulu: If you’re already subscribed to Hulu, congrats! You can also watch My Hero Academia there. Hulu’s pretty quick to update their anime catalog, so you shouldn’t have to wait long after it drops on Crunchyroll.
- VRV: Yup! Another solid platform to check out. It’s basically a bundle deal that includes Crunchyroll, so if you’re already paying for VRV, you’re set.
A quick note: Please don’t pirate the episodes. I know the temptation is real, especially when you’re broke (we’ve all been there), but supporting the official platforms helps keep the anime industry alive and thriving.
What Happened So Far? (Brief Recap)
Before we jump into Episode 13 spoilers, let’s do a quick recap of what’s been going down. This season has been WILD. Like, seriously, my heart can’t take much more of this emotional turmoil. Season 7 has been packed with intense battles, emotional moments, and of course, some major plot twists.
Deku vs Tomura Shigaraki in My Hero Academia Season 7
The last few episodes have been leading up to a massive confrontation between our boy Deku and the ever-terrifying Tomura Shigaraki. In Episode 12 ("Those Who Defend, Those Who Violate"), we saw Edgeshot basically sacrifice himself to save Bakugo. I mean, the dude literally compressed his body to perform some weird internal CPR stuff. It’s insane.
Bakugo lying in the battlefield in My Hero Academia Season 7
Meanwhile, Deku finally made it to the battlefield, only to be greeted by the sight of his best friend Bakugo lying there, seemingly lifeless. Talk about a gut punch. You could feel Deku’s guilt and anger radiating through the screen. Honestly, if I were in Deku’s shoes, I’d be a wreck. But our boy? He’s ready to throw down with Shigaraki.
The setup for Episode 13 has been nothing short of epic. Seriously, we’re on the verge of watching one of the most anticipated battles in MHA history. It’s Deku vs. Shigaraki, and we all know it’s gonna be a banger.
Spoilers for Episode 13: "A Chain of Events, Across the Ages"
Now, let’s dive into what we can expect in Episode 13. Fair warning, I’ll be dropping some light spoilers here, so if you want to go in completely blind, maybe skip this part. But if you’re like me and you need to know what’s coming up, buckle up!
Deku vs. Shigaraki – The Showdown Begins
This episode is titled "A Chain of Events, Across the Ages," and trust me, the title isn’t just there to sound cool. We’re finally getting some backstory on the OG users of One for All and All for One. From what’s been teased, we’ll see some flashbacks that dive deeper into the origins of these Quirks and the people who wielded them before Deku and Shigaraki.
But the real meat of the episode? The fight. Deku is obviously pissed. He’s arrived on the battlefield, and all he sees is destruction and his friends barely hanging on. Bakugo’s condition is still up in the air, and it’s clear that this is weighing heavily on Deku’s mind.
This battle is going to be intense. Shigaraki has been wreaking havoc with his Decay Quirk, and he’s already taken down a bunch of pro heroes. But now, with Deku in the mix, things are about to get real.
Deku’s Quirks on Full Display
One of the things I’m most excited for in this episode is seeing Deku use his Quirks in creative ways. He’s been training hard, and by now, he’s pretty much mastered the core abilities of One for All. Expect to see him bust out Blackwhip, Float, and Fa Jin like a pro. Plus, his Danger Sense is going to be working overtime, especially with someone as dangerous as Shigaraki nearby.
From what I’ve gathered, Deku’s going to be pulling off some seriously cool moves in this fight. We’re talking high-speed aerial combat, Quirk combos, and some straight-up smash action. It’s going to be a visual spectacle, and I can’t wait to see how the animation team handles it.
Shigaraki’s Hidden Power
But hold on—Shigaraki isn’t going down without a fight. Even though he’s been struggling to use his Quirks to their full potential (thanks to the constant interference from the heroes), he’s still a monster. In Episode 13, we’re going to see him start to unleash a new power.
I’m not 100% sure what this power is, but from what I’ve read, it’s something that could seriously change the tide of the battle. Shigaraki’s always been a wildcard, and just when you think the heroes have an advantage, he pulls out something insane.
This new power is going to put Deku in a tight spot, especially because he’s already dealing with the emotional toll of seeing his friends hurt. It’s going to be a real test of Deku’s resolve and whether he can keep his head in the game when everything around him is falling apart.
What’s Next for Our Heroes?
So, Episode 13 is clearly going to be a game-changer, but where do our heroes go from here? Well, if we look at the source material (i.e., the manga), things are only going to get crazier. The fight between Deku and Shigaraki is just the beginning. There are still plenty of other villains lurking in the shadows, and All for One is still pulling the strings.
Plus, there are some big questions that still need answers. Will Bakugo survive? (Please let him be okay, I can’t take another major character death.) What’s going to happen to Edgeshot after his heroic sacrifice? And what about Dabi and the other villains who are still out there causing chaos?
Honestly, the stakes have never been higher, and I’m both excited and terrified to see what happens next. My Hero Academia has always been great at balancing action with emotional depth, and Season 7 is proving to be no exception.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it—everything you need to know about My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 13. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready for one of the most intense episodes of the season. August 17, 2024 can’t come soon enough!
Personally, I’m hyped beyond belief. I’ve been following My Hero Academia since it first came out, and I have to say, this season has been one of the most emotional and action-packed yet. The Deku vs. Shigaraki fight is going to be one for the books, and I’m ready to see how it all plays out.
Let me know in the comments how you’re feeling about the upcoming episode. Are you as excited (and stressed) as I am? Also, which Quirk do you think Deku will use the most during the fight? I’m betting on Blackwhip—that thing is seriously OP.
Until next time, fellow anime nerds. Stay strong, stay hyped, and as always, Plus Ultra!
