My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 4 Review: Preparations And Plannings

My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 4 was impressive and informative. Let us look at how MHA Season 7 episode 4 fared.

My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 3 Recap

In the last episode of MHA, a major twist left fans stunned. Tomura’s failure to capture Star and Stripe has left him in both physical and emotional agony. However, All for One remains unfazed, calmly asserting that while one opportunity may be lost, many others are available.

Dabi, driven by a burning desire for revenge against his father and frustrated by Endeavour’s continued activity, confronts All for One. The villain explains a key difference between them: while Dabi focuses on a single approach, All for One always has multiple plans and contingencies. This ensures that even if one plan fails or an informant betrays him, he has other options.

Meanwhile, at U.A., the students are hard at work, devising strategies for the impending battle. Among them, Bakugo impresses with a powerful new move, and Shoto is working on combining his fire and ice abilities to protect himself from his brother’s flames.

The episode’s standout moment is the long-awaited reveal of the traitor, who happens to be Aoyama. The identity of the betrayer is shocking, as he has managed to stay completely under the radar. However, his motivation is compelling and understandable. 

My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 4 Review and Recap 

Today’s episode was not very content-heavy, but it promised many developments that will be very important later. We begin with the part where Aoyama has been detained, and his secrets have been disclosed. Everyone is shocked that the infamous traitor, because of whom heroes have been losing almost all their battles against villains, happens to be a loved student from the UA.

Still, we know that Aoyama did not do it because he wanted to but he was forced to. Deku understands this, and he refuses to give up on a friend with whom he shared good and bad memories. And surprisingly, not just Deku, but everyone from his class agrees that Aoyama should not be jailed, because of what he has done. They propose that as All for One still does not know Aoyama’s cover is blown, they should use his trust in Aoyama and trap him.

This way the heroes will be able to find and then defeat the villains with ease. However, things are easier said than done because Aoyama is so much in shock and riddled with guilt that he himself does not want to be a part of any operation. He is ashamed that even after discovering his betrayal his friends refused to give up on him, and he kind of closes himself off from the rest.

But things are also moving very fast for every other department as now the operation to search for the villains is starting in full throttle. The police officers along with All Might come up with a very good yet difficult strategy to defeat the villains. If they manage to pull this off, things could finally be better, but if not, everything will be destroyed.

Verdict

Today’s episode was a more informative one, as we saw everyone prepare for their ultimate battle. Even Deku and Tenya get their gears repaired and begin their operation with the rest. I do not think the main battle will start in the next episode, but we are definitely already very close to it.
