What Episode 7 is setting up (light manga spoilers)
Quick heads-up if you like going in fresh: manga roadmap incoming.
This chapter of the fight leans into the emotional and psychological side as much as the punching. Deku is pushing into Shigaraki's inner world, and the show turns the screws on the generational trauma that has been simmering all series long. Nana Shimura — Shigaraki's grandmother and a crucial piece of this whole mess — becomes a key presence here. Their 'meeting' could calm something in him... or light the fuse even harder. With five episodes left, the show is clearly going for the throat.
If you track the manga, Episode 7 should finish out Chapter 417 and move into Chapter 420, likely ending on 420's title beat, 'From Aizawa'. And even once the Shigaraki segment crests, the job is not done — Deku still has All For One to deal with. The question pretty much writes itself: does he finally shut this thing down?
