Get ready for another exciting adventure with My Hero Academia: You're Next, the latest movie in this epic Anime series!
Placing "You're Next" in the Timeline
This fourth movie in the My Hero Academia franchise has some exciting details! Unlike previous installments, this movie's events happen in a super-specific timeframe, fitting snugly within the existing anime series. Most My Hero Academia movies happen around the time the anime season is airing and this one follows that pattern.
Using clues in the movie itself, and what happened before in the series. We are given a very clear picture of where You're Next takes place. It appears this is very near the ending battle that is shown later in season 7. This special movie's events take place in that super important, intense pre-battle window. So we get to see more of what is happening in Season 7
Precise Placement: After Episode 4
You won't believe how tightly woven You're Next is! This movie directly follows episode 4 of season 7! If you are already caught up you will easily be able to spot the placement as it directly links to it. After Aoyama is revealed as the traitor, this means, Aoyama and even the rest of the Class 1-A crew don't appear. This helps to solidify what timeline You're Next fits into, as that whole Class is working together, going after some jailbreakers who got loose, making a big change that had major impact!
Remember the intense Star and Stripe arc that sets the stage for season 7! Shigaraki got injured and was recuperating during the whole pre-final battle. So to say that the film picks up right after those injuries took place really shows just how tense things were getting before those final showdown between hero and villain takes place. What is incredibly interesting is how closely it sticks to that time period as You're Next happens only over a day or two!
Timeline Impact on the Film
Because this movie sets up the huge final arc. There are some things you won't see in the movie because they had not happened, yet. Those super amazing new moves used in that fight! For example, Deku was back at UA shortly before these new battle techniques emerge. So the viewers get a chance to really see these iconic characters fighting!
There is also plenty of focus on Japan that will have viewers really impressed!
- Much of Japan is still in ruins
- Villains from the jail break have made a mess!
- UA has changed into more of a shelter
What makes the show even more compelling is how much the bad guys got a foothold as "Dark Might" attacks. You know the doppelganger! And it looks like his big moment is going to come about because of just how broken Japan really was. If you’ve been waiting to see the huge final conflict between heroes and villains. Get ready for an epic show with You're Next. It seamlessly links to the anime series!
