Recap
My Hero Academia Season 6 ended with the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, a massive conflict that involved the heroes, the villains, and the police. The war resulted in many casualties and injuries on both sides, as well as the exposure of the secrets and flaws of the hero society. The public lost their trust and faith in the heroes, especially after the revelation that All Might’s successor, Endeavor, was an abusive father and husband. The heroes also faced a shortage of manpower and resources, as many of them retired, resigned, or went missing.
On the other hand, the villains gained more power and influence, as All For One escaped from prison and took over Shigaraki’s body. He also freed many of his loyal followers and allies, such as Kurogiri, Gigantomachia, and the Nomu. He declared war on the heroes and the world and vowed to take back One For All from Deku.
Deku, who was severely injured and traumatized by the war, decided to leave U.A. High School and become a vigilante. He learned that he had unlocked the seventh quirk of One For All, called Danger Sense, which allowed him to sense impending threats. He also learned that he was the last user of One For All, as the quirk was reaching its limit and would soon disappear. He resolved to use his remaining time and power to stop All For One and save Shigaraki, who was his childhood friend and the grandson of Nana Shimura, the previous holder of One For All.
