My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising
Alternate Title
僕のヒーローアカデミア THE MOVIE ヒーローズ：ライジング
Synopsis
My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising follows the same heroes in training of Class A including Deku, Bakugo, Ochako, and Todoroki from the TV series My Hero Academia and introduces a new villain named Nine who appears to be similar to All Might’s top enemy All for One but even stronger. The story is one that creator Kohei Horikoshi wanted to include as part of the final battle of the TV series, and he has said it will be more “Plus Ultra” than the first film.
