What happens

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (Japanese: 僕のヒーローアカデミア THE MOVIE ヒーローズ: ライジング, Hepburn: Boku no Hīrō Akademia za Mūbī Hīrōzu: Raijingu) is a 2019 Japanese animated superhero film based on an original story featuring the characters of My Hero Academia manga series by Kōhei Horikoshi. Produced by Bones and distributed by Toho, the second film of the franchise was directed by Kenji Nagasaki from a script written by Yōsuke Kuroda and stars Daiki Yamashita and Nobuhiko Okamoto as part of an ensemble cast. In the film, Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, and their classmates visit Nabu Island where they must save a group of islanders from a villain with an unfathomable Quirk. A second film of the franchise was announced in March 2019, with the staff and cast from the first film returning. The film has elements to its story that were once going to be used by Horikoshi as a finale to the series. It was intended to be the last film in the series until images of a possible third film appeared online. The film was released in Japan on December 20, 2019, and in North America on February 26, 2020. The film grossed $30 million worldwide and received positive reviews from critics. A third film, My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission, was released in Japan on August 6, 2021, with a fourth film, My Hero Academia: You're Next, released on August 2, 2024.
