What Is My Hero Academia: You’re Next?ย
My Hero Academia: You’re Nextย will be releasing in Japan on August 2nd, but has yetย to announce an United States release date as of the time of this publication. Featuringย My Hero Academiaย series creator Kohei Horikoshi as the supervisor and new character designer,ย My Hero Academia: You’re Nextย will be directed by Tensai Okamura for studio Bones. Yosuke Kuroda will be returning from the TV anime to write the script, Yoshihiko Umakoshi returns to provide the character designs, and Yuki Hayashi returns to compose the music. ย
The story for the new film is still being kept a mystery, but Horikoshi previously teased the setting ofย My Hero Academia: You’re Nextย as such, “It’ll take place after the War from Season 6, meaning that theย collapsed society will be the stage this time. After having been through so much and learning so many things, who will Deku and his friends fight against this time? What will they protect?! Look forward to it!” There’s also been the reveal of what seems to be a villain directly inspired by All Might, so we’ll soon see how it all shakes out.ย
