The hit anime series My Hero Academia ended its manga run back in August 2024, but the adventures aren't over just yet! Fans are super hyped for the upcoming movie, My Hero Academia: You're Next, hitting theaters on October 11, 2024.
A New One-Shot Chapter
To get everyone pumped up for the movie, series creator Kohei Horikoshi dropped a special 7-page one-shot chapter on Viz's Shonen Jump app! This short chapter acts as a bridge between the end of the manga and the beginning of the film. This special manga chapter gives fans a closer look and will feature Class 1-A members discovering Deku's secret notebook full of notes about everyone! This is a cool, unexpected prequel to help add some context.
All Might's Reaction
The one-shot chapter shows how some characters respond better than others to these secret notes. While a bunch of those familiar characters show up, the ending is one that most viewers will never forget. It shows a brooding All Might reflecting on the fact that he isn't the Symbol of Peace anymore! It shows the moment, that his legacy moves to those he trained.
- We get to see him with the mysterious suitcase that's appeared often throughout season 7.
- It seems there's more waiting to come out in the season finale and it is something we will see very soon, on Saturday!
- That makes it extra exciting as it might even tie back to the film.
This mysterious briefcase seems to hold significance that will show what this means to season 7. What makes this moment especially exciting? This prequel will let us focus on All Might and the big reactions! While the focus might not have given us details, about what might go on within the movie, the character shows how compelling and iconic his persona continues to be, while being challenged in a new way. This gives fans so much more intrigue as to the potential storylines in this series!
Dark Might And New Characters
One of the most recognizable characters making their way into the My Hero Academia series, is Dark Might and this is someone audiences will definitely notice! In the story we can even make note that the character might have some features in the movie as well!
- Dark Might uses All Might's signature form which isn't easy to mistake!
- The new movie's cast of new villains also includes Giulio Gandini and Anna Scervino but their presence may seem minor.
- The film teases additional new characters but this serves to just get those major moments happening, bringing more attention to these awesome figures who come in at opportune moments

For those who have been watching from the beginning, and those who have seen past showdowns such as Deku versus All Might know that his respect for All Might becomes a really major problem in a battle, This will be extra cool! A big highlight that will show just what those epic challenges look like!
Deku's Challenge
The main protagonist of the show will once again step up and shows everyone the heart of a hero.
One of Deku's biggest challenges continues to be something fans see frequently as Deku's reverence for his mentor and overcoming this respect is just as important as the skills. As the story unfolds this becomes very obvious! Overcoming those challenges means he isn't bound and is able to perform even better.
The movie will show how to work around fears to become better. Fans of Deku know this moment isn't something that's new as we continue to see this arc over the series. Now is the time that Deku gets to really show just how he was trained! Fighting against the incredibly well done and terrifying looking Dark Might will not only give those in Class 1-A a great adventure. But will showcase an even greater fight.
