In the latest episode of My Hero Academia’s seventh season, the intense battle between Star and Stripe and Shigaraki reaches a dramatic conclusion that left fans stunned. Warning: spoilers ahead for those who haven’t seen the episode yet.
The showdown between America’s top hero, Kathleen Bate (Star and Stripe), and Shigaraki, the heir apparent to All For One, was a pivotal moment in the series.
Despite Star and Stripe’s immense power and her use of the formidable New Order Quirk, the battle took a tragic turn when Shigaraki managed to grab her face, initiating the decay effect of his Quirk.
Star and Stripe’s Devastating Strike Against All For One
In a devastating turn of events, Star and Stripe succumbed to Shigaraki’s decaying power, ultimately resulting in her death. However, in her final moments, Kathleen devised a cunning strategy to ensure that her Quirk, New Order, could not be used against the heroes.
She implanted a final rule within New Order, causing it to rebel against other Quirks. As Shigaraki absorbed New Order, all the other Quirks within him began to be destroyed from within.

Although Kathleen’s courageous sacrifice didn’t end Shigaraki’s life, it dealt a significant blow to the young antagonist. Many of Shigaraki’s stolen Quirks were destroyed, and his body suffered severe damage. To ensure his survival, Shigaraki passed New Order onto a nearby criminal, allowing him to endure despite the devastation.
While Star and Stripe may not be present for the final battle of the series, her sacrifice bought Deku and his allies precious time to prepare for the inevitable confrontation with Shigaraki.
This unexpected turn of events sets the stage for a gripping continuation of My Hero Academia’s seventh season, with UA Academy facing new challenges and dangers in the wake of Star and Stripe’s demise.
