My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising

Peaceful beaches and quiet streets give way to danger when a formidable foe with a mysterious Quirk launches a surprise attack. The power behind the attack resembles a familiar villain’s tricks, hinting at a larger scheme. With All Might retired and the islanders at risk, Deku and his classmates must improvise and push beyond their training. The island becomes a testing ground where teamwork, resourcefulness, and courage are the only tools that stand between residents and catastrophe. The stakes rise as the students discover that protecting others may require more than sheer power.
