In the lull between the confrontation with the Paranormal Liberation Front and the final war with the villains,a new villain who borrows the appearance of All Might has emerged, equipped with a floating fortress that’s absorbing the population of Japan as it slowly moves across the country. This villain bears more than just a resemblance to All Might, however–he seems to wield his power as well.With his dark ambitions, the so-called “Dark Might” represents one of the greatest threats that Japan has faced throughout the series, and it’s up to Class 1-A to deal with him.
The clip shows Bakugo and his team inside of Dark Might’s fortress, which seems to be populated with monsters, making it akin to a dungeon in a classic RPG video game. The origin of these monsters is certainly a mystery, asMy Hero Academiadoesn’t really have monsters, with its closest approximation beingthe bio-engineered Nomuthat work for All for One. It’s possible these are bio-engineered creations as well, and given Dark Might’s hinted association with a wealthy crime family, the Gollinis, he may well have the funding to create such beasts.
The film was released in Japan on August 24, 2025, right around the time when the manga ended, makingYou’re Nextthe last new content some fans will experience for the franchise. It was quite a success in Japan, earning 895 million Yen (approx. $6.3 Million) in its first three days at the Japanese box office, where it was number one opening weekend.
While its North American release will be somewhat limited, it certainly stands to do fairly well there when it finally hits theaters on October 11. Western fans are already excited forMy Hero Academia: You’re Next’s release, which will be shown in both dubbed and subbed forms during its run.
