The seventh season of the TV anime My Hero Academia will be broadcast every Saturday from 5:30 p.m. from spring 2024. The preview cut and synopsis of the 19th episode (total 157th episode), “I AM HERE,” of the season, which will be broadcast sequentially from today, September 28th (Saturday), has been released.
The following is the episode, according to the official announcement. Please note. In the 18th episode of the 7th season, “It’s a Small World,” aired last week, All For One, who has become even younger due to “rewinding,” tramples on heroes Hawks, Tokoyami, and others with his increased power.
The desperate situation that the heroes have fallen into and the fact that the voice of All For One (youth) is played by Hiroshi Kamiya, not Akio Otsuka, who has played the role of AFO until now, have caused grief and surprise from fans and viewers on social media. In response, episode 157, “I AM HERE,” will be broadcast on the 28th. When this subtitle was revealed in the previous broadcast’s preview of the next episode, many readers of the original My Hero Academia were excited and said, “It’s finally here!”.
After defeating Hawks and his friends, All For One flies towards Deku and Shigaraki, but the “symbol of peace” stands in his way—a scene that will be a significant turning point in the decisive battle of the 7th season. In this episode, the fight between the No. 1 hero Endeavor, his son Todoroki Shoto, and his brother, the villain Dabi = Todoroki Touya, the Todoroki family, finally concludes.
In preparation for this turbulent conclusion, messages have arrived for fans and viewers from Kaji Yuki, who plays Todoroki Shoto, Inada Toru, who plays Endeavor, and Shimono Hiro, who plays Todoroki Touya. –How did you feel about dubbing this 19th episode of the 7th season (No. 157), “I AM HERE”? Kaji Yuki: Finally, the time has come for Touya and Enji, brother and father, to face each other honestly.
They made mistakes, regretted many times, and almost gave up, but they stood up and finally reached this encounter. Like Shoto and me, I absolutely cannot afford not to see it through. I was determined to have no regrets, so I went into the recording. Inada Toru: I gave it my all as a hero in the battle with All For One, so this time, I went into the recording as Enji Todoroki to settle things as a father.
The entire Todoroki family performed the recording, including Touya as a child, so I was overwhelmed with emotion. It’s an emotion that doesn’t fit the story’s content, but I was happy. Shimono Hiro: I think that episode 157, “I AM HERE,” is a crucial moment for Touya, or rather, his final battle, so I went into the recording to honestly express all of Touya’s thoughts and my own emotions. I was happy I could record with the whole Todoroki family for the first time, but I was sad that I had to record in a separate room due to the production! Please give a message to the fans and viewers who are waiting for the broadcast. Kaji Yuki: Finally, all the voice actors of the Todoroki family have come together to record, including Touya and Shimono-san, everyone. There is a shitty father, there is a mother, there is Fuyu-nee, there is Natsu-nii, there is Touya-nii, and there is Shoto. And that is the Todoroki family. That is the Todoroki family. It was very moving. They are clumsy and ugly, but… I like this family. Please watch over the future of the Todoroki family. Please watch it in real-time. Inada Toru: Endeavor and Todoroki Enji have done it. I’m burned out.
All that’s left is for you to decide. Please watch over the Todoroki family and us! Hiro Shimono: As deadly battles unfold everywhere, Enji confronts the out-of-control Touya…where will the two of them go? And what will Shoto and the rest of the Todoroki family think, and how will it end? Please watch the final battle for the Todoroki family…and the thoughts and wishes of the man called Touya Todoroki.
