My Hero Academia Collides With Godzilla in Special Crossover Promo
Chibi Godzilla has joined the world of My Hero Academia with a special new movie poster
My Hero Academia and Chibi Godzilla have crossed over in a special new collaboration to celebrate the release of My Hero Academia: You're Next. My Hero Academia is now working its way through theaters in Japan with the fourth feature film in the anime franchise, and it's already been a big hit with fans overseas. The new film fills in some of the gaps in between the events of Season 6 and Season 7 of the TV anime series, and throws Izuku Midoriya and the other young heroes into a huge new fight against an unexpected enemy resembling All Might.
Now the film has gone the extra mile with a collaboration with another major TOHO franchise as Chibi Godzilla (which is a special anime that reimagines Godzilla's like of kaiju characters with cute new designs) has joined the world of My Hero Academia with its own take on My Hero Academia: You're Next's main poster. Seeing Chibi Godzilla and the others attacking a shadowy kaiju reminiscent of how Deku and the others have to face off against Dark Might, you can check out the special collab below to get a side by side as to how the two resemble one another.

High Class 1-A protect the world by putting an end to Dark Might, the man claiming to be the new Symbol of Peace?"
