Every My Hero Academia Movie In Order (And Where To Watch Them)

However, despite running its anime rather consistently across eight acclaimed seasons and boasting the esteemed studio Bones as its production house, My Hero Academia didn't crank out as many films as one may expect. But make no mistake, pound-for-pound, all four of the mainline My Hero Academia films to date stand up to plenty of shonen anime movie greats, and are thankfully rather approachable both to stream and to observe in their best intended viewing order.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes

My Hero Academia's First Film Goes All-Out to Deliver Something Big

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes opens with a flashback to All Might's time in America, when he worked with a scientist who developed support gear, David Shield. In the present, All Might receives an invitation to a hero expo at the artificial I-Island, and opts to bring Midoriya along. Several of the other students end up attending as well.

Not long after arriving, Midoriya meets Melissa Shield, David's daughter, who presents him with a special gauntlet that will allow him to use One for All without hurting himself. Not long after, the expo comes under attack from a villain named Wolfram, who takes the entire island hostage. The students must fight back against Wolfram and his goons, but can All Might, whose power is already waning, actually defeat this foe?

Two Heroes takes its name from the idea of Deku and All Might fighting side-by-side, something fans desperately wanted to see. The movie is loaded with exciting moments, and Melissa Shield is an adorable character who instantly became a fan favorite. Melissa has appeared in the manga on several occasions and even builds Deku another gauntlet later in the story. The anime features a special tie-in episode,"Special Episode: Save the World With Love!" which acts as a prologue to the film, and establishes when it takes place.

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising

Heroes: Rising Offers Excellent Character Moments and an Incredible Twist

Heroes: Rising follows the entirety of U.A.'s Class 1-A as they're sent to a small island, Nabu Island, to act as its local heroes for their winter semester safety program. The island is quite peaceful and idyllic, meaning there isn't a lot of danger for the kids to get involved in, which gives them the opportunity to really get to know the islands' residents as they help them with everyday tasks.

A villain involved with the League of Villains, who goes by the name "Nine" for his nine Quirks, arrives at the island, however, seeking a certain child whose blood could save his life. With their capacity to communicate with the mainland immediately destroyed, the kids of Class 1-A are on their own to deal with Nine and his gang.

Heroes Rising is equally split between calm, peaceful moments and intense action, which makes up the bulk of the back half of the movie. The film is intended to be set during the Meta Liberation Army arc of the manga, which hadn't yet been adapted for the anime at the time of its release, meaning some characters such as Hawks debuted in the film first. Heroes: Rising is well known among fans for its climax, which features a moment that no fan would've predicted.

My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission

World Heroes' Mission expands the series' world around the globe

World Heroes' Mission takes the kids of Class 1-A on a globe-spanning adventure, introducing heroes from overseas, not just Japan. The emergence of a terrorist organization dedicated to ridding the world of those with Quirks, called Humarise, necessitates all hands on deck, leading to Bakugo, Todoroki, and Midoriya being sent to the foreign nation of Otheon, where Humarise is rumored to be based out of.

Midoriya meets up with a local named Rody, a poor boy caring for his two younger siblings, who happens to be delivering a package for the group. With Rody now a target of Humarise as well, he and Midoriya must work together to track down their villainous leader, Flect Turn, and defeat the supremacist group once and for all.

World Heroes' Mission was very well received, with much praise for the character of Rody and his relationship with Midoriya. Rody acts as the emotional core of the film, so the execution of his character was critical. Like Two Heroes, this film featured an anime tie-in prequel episode as well, called "Long Time, No See, Selkie." Rody and his siblings made a cameo in the manga, as did many of the international heroes created for the film.

My Hero Academia: You're Next

Class 1-A Faces All Might's Villainous Doppelgänger

The next entry in My Hero Academia's movie franchise, My Hero Academia: You're Next premiered in Japan on August 2nd. My Hero Academia movie 4 introduces All Might's evil double, a villain named Dark Might who resides in a giant floating fortress. Set in the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation arc, Dark Might aims to exploit the chaos created in the aftermath of that massive conflict. In the film, Dark Might sets out to brainwash Anna Scervino, introduced in the movie as well, in a bid to grow his power and take over Japan.

With not only the manga but also the anime now having ended, My Hero Academia: You're Next was the final film to release concurrently alongside the mainline franchise, aside from the spinoff series, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. While not the strongest of the lot, You're Next was a major box office success ahead of the wildly acclaimed manga and anime conclusions.

Will There Be More My Hero Academia Movies After You're Next?

With My Hero Academia's manga and anime so close to ending, many fans are left wondering whether the franchise will return for a fifth movie or if You're Next will be the franchise's last cinematic outing for the foreseeable future. Nothing official has been announced, of course, but fans have good reason to be hopeful that You're Next won't be the last movie to feature Deku and the rest of Class 1-A.

My Hero Academia's anime studio, Bones, has previously released anime movies based on franchises that had already wrapped up. The two most notable examples are the pair of Fullmetal Alchemist movies. Conquerors of Shambala was a 2005 epilogue to 2003's Fullmetal Alchemist series that wrapped up a handful of dangling plot threads left after that series' conclusion. In contrast, 2011's The Sacred Star of Milos was an interquel set in the middle of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Though fans might initially be skeptical that My Hero Academia could receive a Conquerors of Shambala style epilogue given that the latter film only made sense because of how much Fullmetal Alchemist's 2003 series deviated from the movie, there was brief speculation that an epilogue film was in the cards. The closest the series came to this was, in fact, More, released on May 2, 2026, with little left to see beyond that.

What Is The Best Way To Watch My Hero Academia's Movies?

Unfortunately, My Hero Academia's films are, at present, not all in one place, meaning there's no simple way to watch all four. Aside from streaming, however, all four are easily available on Blu-ray, which do come with some additional special features. The My Hero Academia films can also be digitally rented on marketplaces like YouTube, Google Play, and Amazon. Crunchyroll's page for My Hero Academia: Two Heroes is titled "My Hero Academia Movies", implying that the other two films may someday be available to stream there, but at present only the first film is available.

At What Point In The Anime Should My Hero Academia Fans Watch The Movies

Though finding all of My Hero Academia's movies on streaming may be difficult, it's not hard to deduce where the movies take place in the series' broader timeline. My Hero Academia: Two Heroes has a special prologue episode with season 3, episode 20 (episode 58 of the series overall) Special Episode: Save the World with Love!. Given this, it only makes sense for fans to watch the series' first cinematic outing with Two Heroes directly after watching episode 58.

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising doesn't have an anime prologue episode, but is still fairly easy to place in the series' broader timeline. The story takes place in December and My Hero Academia's Class 1-A has a Christmas party in season 5, episode 13 (episode 101 overall). This means that the best time for fans of the series to watch Heroes Rising would be after watching episode 100, The New Power and All For One.

Unfortunately for fans trying to catch a breath after Heroes Rising, World Heroes Mission takes place relatively soon after Heroes Rising. World Heroes Missions' prologue episode is season 5, episode 16 (episode 104 overall), Long Time No See, Selkie. Any fan wanting to watch the series and movies in order should therefore watch World Heroes Mission after watching episode 104.

That just leaves My Hero Academia: You're Next, which is relatively easy to place in terms of the series' timeline. With shots of a ruined city in My Hero Academia: You're Next's trailers, it's clear that the movie takes place directly after the series epic Paranormal Liberation War but before the Final War begins, with the story officially following the events of season 7, episode #4.

Are My Hero Academia's Movies Worth Watching?

The My Hero Academia films are absolutely worth watching for fans of the franchise, especially as characters from the films have become more ingrained in the manga. This has the benefit of making the films feel like they matter, something that a lot of anime movies that are non-canonical to their series have trouble doing. Where exactly the films fit into the anime is a sometimes difficult question, and the anime often keeps references to the films vague for that reason.

As big-budget anime films, the My Hero Academia movies have plenty of incredibly animated action to offer, which can be worth the price of admission alone for fans who really want to see the characters go all out. The films are also fairly enjoyable even for those who aren't caught up on the series, thanks to Deku's earnest desire to be a hero.

My Hero Academia's movies have maintained a high quality across all four releases. While it may not be as easy as if they were all on one streaming service, it's worth the effort for fans to track down and see these movies. Full of epic battles, character moments, and all kinds of expansions of My Hero Academia's world, the series' films are astonishingly good and offer fans everything they might want out of an anime movie.
