My Hero Academia Season 7 reveals awesome connection to Tokyo Ghoul

Deku in My Hero Academia

As we finally gear up for My Hero Academia Season 7, the anime has revealed a cool connection with acclaimed franchise Tokyo Ghoul.

Things are really heating up for My Hero Academia right now. The manga is getting closer and closer to Deku facing Shigaraki in the ultimate battle of good vs. evil, the One For All quirk against the All For One.

Though a little behind, the anime is now in the Final Saga as well, introducing Dark Deku and other elements that create a real sense of foreboding.

We’re coming up on the premiere of My Hero Academia Season 7, and Studio Bones has revealed who’s doing the new opening. Not only is it a good choice, it’s one that bridges Deku’s journey with Ken Kaneki’s from Tokyo Ghoul.

My Hero Academia Season 7 opening theme is being performed by TK

It’s been revealed that My Hero Academia Season 7’s opening will be scored by TK, the musician by the first theme for Tokyo Ghoul, as well as the Japanese theme song for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

We don’t yet have a name for the song TK has contributed, but the pedigree is there. Songs of his have appeared on Chainsaw Man and Code Geass, and he contributed music to Magic: The Gathering. In other words, if you know your anime shows or collectible card games, you’re likely familiar with his work.

Previously, My Hero Academia used rock bands such as Uverworld and Porno Graffitti for opening themes, so TK is in great company in that respect as well. As in all things to do with Pro Heroes, I trust Studio Bones implicitly.

On top of the upcoming seventh season, My Hero Academia: You’re Next is due to arrive this summer. This is the fourth movie in the franchise, and after World Heroes’ Mission, so 2024 is going to be a good year to be a hero!
