My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 11 recap

My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 11, titled Light Fades to Rain, continues from the previous episode with Bakugo suffering a severe injury from Shigaraki. The heroes struggle to contact Deku, and Aizawa urges Jeanist, Mirko, and Edgeshot to protect Bakugo. Amajiki and Nejire discuss their graduation plans, and Mirio joins the fight.

The Big Three of UA engage Shigaraki, trying to buy time for Deku's arrival. Shigaraki mocks Bakugo, claiming he will always be in Deku's shadow. Nejire's attack is redirected as Shigaraki uses Bakugo as a shield. Amajiki's intervention proves insufficient, but Mirio rescues Bakugo with Jeanist's help and confronts Shigaraki.

Mirio questions Shigaraki’s motives, leading to a realization about Shigaraki’s lack of true friends. With Nejire's support, Mirio lands a powerful blow on Shigaraki. Jeanist tends to Bakugo, noticing his tears and encouraging him to step aside, but Bakugo's determination impresses Jeanist. My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 11 then focuses on Mirio and Shigaraki's battle.

Mirio's words trigger Shigaraki's memories of his childhood, causing an emotional reaction. ‘Shigaraki’ insists that his fusion is complete, though remnants of Tenko Shimura remain. ‘Shigaraki’ targets Bakugo again. Mirio recalls his plan to buy time and keep Shigaraki occupied. Amajiki charges up with Nejire's shockwave, unleashing the Vast Hybrid Plasma Cannon, but it’s not enough.

‘Shigaraki’ retaliates, and Bakugo stands up, ready to fight despite his injuries. He attacks ‘Shigaraki’ with incredible speed, using his new move, Cluster, which exerts pressure on his sweat glands to enhance his speed. Bakugo acknowledges the pain, realizing it mirrors Deku's struggles. ‘Shigaraki’ questions Bakugo's persistence and recalls Kudo, the second One For All user.

He strikes Bakugo, who falls with his All Might card. My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 11 ends with Bakugo’s heart ruptured, leaving the heroes in shock. The skies darken, and elsewhere, Bakugo's parents express concern for Bakugo since he doesn’t like the rain. At the battlefield, Best Jeanist rushes to tend to Bakugo’s severe wounds.
