Crunchyroll Acquires Latest My Hero Academia

MY HERO ACADEMIA: YOU’RE NEXT

Crunchyroll has acquired select theatrical rights in Australia and New Zealand, EMEA, and Latin America for the highly anticipated superhero anime film My Hero Academia: You’re Next, produced by Bones.

With over 100 million copies published worldwide, the latest film instalment of the Weekly Shonen Jump series is here after much anticipation. This all-new original story is set right before the final battle between heroes and villains. Kohei Horikoshi is involved in the latest film, as with the previous three films.

It was the spring of Deku’s second year at U.A. when an all-out battle between heroes and villains broke out. Deku faced a powerful Tomura Shigaraki, and the two clashed violently, with the heroes and villains suffering heavy damage. The battle has since come to a temporary halt with Shigaraki’s retreat, but the time for their next confrontation draws closer every second.

Japan is devastated by the all-out battle when a mysterious man suddenly appears. He presents himself as the one to replace All Might but turns out to be Dark Might.

Despite resembling All Might in appearance, Dark Might’s ideals couldn’t be more different. He unleashes his Quirk for his desires, creating a massive fort that absorbs the population one after another.

Among the group accompanying Dark Might is Anna, a young woman with an unknown Quirk who is being targeted by a stoic individual in butler attire. Even though this person, Giulio, calls her “Miss Anna,” he seems to be after her life.

Will Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki and the rest of U.A. High-Class 1-A be able to protect the world by putting an end to Dark Might–the new Symbol and his desires?

My Hero Academia is a Japanese anime series based on the popular comics by Kohei Horikoshi. The original manga has sold over 100M copies worldwide.

Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Releasing International will bring this epic new adventure to theatres on the 10th of October.
