The official MHA: You’re Next website’s story description reads:
In a world where people with extraordinary abilities, known as “Quirks,” had become commonplace, the former No. 1 hero, All Might, who was once hailed as the “Symbol of Peace,” uttered these words right after his fierce battle with the “Emperor of Evil.” Even after stepping down from the position of No. 1 hero, All Might’s heroic will was inherited by the students of U.A. High School’s Hero Course, including Midoriya.
In the spring of their second year at U.A. High, a full-scale war between heroes and villains erupted. Midoriya faced off against the formidable foe, Tomura Shigaraki, and the two clashed intensely. Both heroes and villains suffered significant damage, and although Shigaraki retreated, the time for a final decisive battle was rapidly approaching.
Amidst the widespread devastation caused by the full-scale war, a mysterious colossal fortress suddenly appeared, engulfing cities and people one after another. And before Midoriya and his allies, a man reminiscent of the “Symbol of Peace” stood in their way.
The original manga creator Kōhei Horikoshi will serve as the general supervisor and original character designer for the film. The story will be original and take place around the same time as the anime is currently, focusing on the collapse of a safe society. The film focuses on a mysterious giant fortress and a man resembling the former “Symbol of Peace” suddenly appears in a war-torn society.
My Hero Academia: You’re Next is scheduled for release in Japan on August 2, aligning with the earlier stages of season seven. While the international release date is yet to be announced, fans can remain hopeful based on the past cooperation between Crunchyroll and the franchise’s film releases, hinting at a timely availability outside of Japan.
