My Hero Academia Team Spotlights Star and Stripe in New Sketches

The team behind My Hero Academia celebrates Season 7's premiere with Star and Stripe art!

My Hero Academia fully unleashed America's number one hero to the anime with Season 7's first episode, and the team behind the anime and other franchise releases are celebrating Star and Stripe with special sketches! My Hero Academia first introduced Star and Stripe to the anime at the final moments of Season 6 as America's number one hero heeded All Might's call for help and rushed to fight Tomura Shigaraki in the skies above Japan. Now that Season 7 is here as part of the Spring 2024 anime schedule, fans are finally getting to see this fight play out. 

My Hero Academia's Season 7 premiere sees Star and Stripe unleash her power against Shigaraki, and it's been made immediately clear why she's such a notable hero in America due to how much damage she does to him so far. It's quite the massive debut for such a notable character, and thus the team behind the anime is celebrating. Not only does this include My Hero Academia: Vigilantes artist Betten Court, but many of the animators behind the premiere as well. Check out the special Star and Stripe sketches below.
