HOW IS THE NEW FILM?

Class 1-A visits Nabu Island where they finally get to do some real hero work. The place is so peaceful that it’s more like a vacation … until they’re attacked by a villain with an unfathomable Quirk! His power is eerily familiar, and it looks like Shigaraki had a hand in the plan. But with All Might retired and citizens’ lives on the line, there’s no time for questions. Deku and his friends are the next generation of heroes, and they’re the island’s only hope.

A SUPERHEROES HIT LICENSE

With more than 3 million copies sold by the publisher Ki-Oon and a very committed fan community, "My Hero Academia" is the greatest manga success of the last 10 years in France.  The TV show has four seasons now, broadcast on Toonami and J-One, and available on Anime Digital Network (ADN) platform and on DVD/Blu-ray at Kazé.

The brand universe of "My Hero Academia" has been extended to many merchandising products, such as the multi-platform video games edited by Bandai Namco, which released "My Hero: One’s Justice 2" on March 13, as well as toys and figures developed by Bandai.
