"My Hero Academia" fans are in for a big treat with the coming of "My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission." To tease the franchise's followers, TOHO releases the film's first-ever full trailer.
With the manga going pretty intense every chapter and an anime unveiling big revelations, the film seems to be the cherry on top. So, what does "My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission" have in store?
The 96-second preview gives a full look at the movie's intense turn of events. It shows Izuku on a newscast and accused of mass murder.
From here, the story gets wilder every scene. The Pro Heroes are about to face a powerful villain.
It then shows the Class 1-A students, along with the established heroes Endeavor, Hawks, Mt. Lady and more. As they fight for the truth to come out, can they successfully make the public believe in "My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission?"
Aside from the new epic adventure, the trailer also gives a glimpse of its official theme song, "Empathy," by Asian Kung-Fu Generation.
So, what does the movie's storyline entail? According to Anime News Network, a mysterious organization aims to destroy people with Quirks, so it plants bombs all over the world.
The Pro Heroes and the Hero Internships alike are now on the move to find these explosives before it is too late. Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki will then meet a young boy named Rody (voiced by Ryo Yoshizawa).
He lives in Oseon, where the three heroes are designated, and ends up working with them. However, as the movie will be out after Season 5 ends, it remains to be seen what timeline it will follow.
Meanwhile, to hype up the movie's release, fans who will watch the film in theaters will get a special tie-in manga from Kohei Horikoshi himself. Called "Vol. World Heroes," it features a "cover and some original material" that the mangaka created, Comicbook noted.
However, the copy will only be limited to 1 million, so the first ones to come will surely get their hands on this.
"My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission" is set for release Aug. 6 in Japan. However, there is no official announcement yet if it will have an international release, though fans expect it to hit the U.S. theaters in late 2021, if not early 2022.
So far, "My Hero Academia" Season 5 is still running and now on its 13th Episode, while the manga, which is now in its final phase, is on chapter 317.
