My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Japanese: 僕 (ぼく)のヒーローアカデミア THE (ザ) MOVIE (ムービー) ～２人 (ふたり)の英雄 (ヒーロー)～, Hepburn: Boku no Hīrō Akademia Za Mūbī ～Futari no Hīrō～) is a 2018 Japanese animated superhero film based on My Hero Academia manga series by Kōhei Horikoshi. Produced by Bones, the film was directed by Kenji Nagasaki from a screenplay written by Yōsuke Kuroda and features an ensemble cast that includes Daiki Yamashita, Kenta Miyake, Mirai Shida, Katsuhisa Namase, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Ayane Sakura, Kaito Ishikawa, Yuki Kaji, Marina Inoue, Toshiki Masuda, Ryō Hirohashi, Tasuku Hatanaka, Kei Shindō, and Rikiya Koyama. In the film, taking place between the Final Exams and the Forest Training Camp story arcs of the manga, Izuku Midoriya / Deku accompanies Toshinori Yagi / All Might in visiting his old friend at I-Island when Villains attack the artificial moving island.

A film based on an original story written by Horikoshi was announced in December 2017. Nagasaki, Kuroda, and Yoshihiko Umakoshi were confirmed a few days later to be returning from My Hero Academia television series to direct the film, write the script, and design the characters, respectively. Original characters for the film were announced in April and June 2018.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes premiered in Los Angeles on July 5, 2018, and was released in Japan on August 3, with a limited release in the United States and Canada from September 25 to October 2. The film grossed $33.4 million worldwide and received positive reviews from critics. A second film, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, was released in Japan in December 2019 and February 2020 in North America.

Plot[]

A flashback shows a young All Might in California dealing with a couple of villains that robbed a casino, aided by his friend David who has worked with All Might and designed many of his suits.

Going back to the present, All Might brings Midoriya with him to a moving floating city island called "I Island" for a convention that is currently happening there. Upon arriving, All Might and Midoriya are greeted by David's daughter Melissa, who welcomes the two and takes them to David.

After the reunion, All Might runs tests with David, during which he realizes that All Might's Quirk is nearly depleted. He is horrified, believing that All Might will not be able to keep his role as the Symbol of Peace. Meanwhile, Melissa shows Midoriya around the island, and they run into Midoriya's classmates from class 1-A, who were invited to the island for various reasons. After enjoying the island's events, Melissa invites class 1-A to join a formal party being held with all heroes present. Before the party, Melissa gives Midoriya a gauntlet that allows him to use his Quirk fully without getting hurt.

Meanwhile, Wolfram, a villain who had secretly arrived on the island, took control of the island's security system during the party and threatens to kill its residents. He restrains all of the pro-heroes attending, including All Might, and takes David and his assistant Sam hostage in order to break into the island's vault. Midoriya, Melissa, and the rest of class 1-A managed to evade the attackers. They decide to fight the villains and free the heroes, by reaching the top of the building and deactivating the security system. Wolfram deploys forces to stop them, but Midoriya and Melissa manage to climb to the top regardless.

At the top of the tower, they discover that David and Sam orchestrated the night's events with actors. Their goal was to steal back their greatest invention - a headset that maximizes the power of a person's Quirk, which had been locked away to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. David wishes to give it to All Might, so that he could maintain his role as a hero. However, Wolfram arrives and reveals that he is not an actor, but a real villain working with Sam to retrieve the headset for himself. Wolfram steals the headset and attempts to kill Sam and Melissa, but David and Midoriya save them.

Wolfram holds off Midoriya, kidnaps David, and escapes to the rooftop. Midoriya fails to prevent Wolfram from taking off in a helicopter with David, but Melissa takes control of the security system and frees the pro heroes. All Might reaches the roof and stops the helicopter from taking off.

Wolfram then uses the headset to amplify his power, creating a giant metal body with David trapped inside. He overpowers All Might, revealing that he is secretly in league with All Might's nemesis All For One, who gave Wolfram additional Quirks and orchestrated the night's events to demoralize All Might. Lacking the strength to defeat Wolfram alone, All Might asks for Midoriya's aid. The rest of the students soon arrive on the roof and help All Might and Midoriya, who combine their power to defeat Wolfram, freeing David.

As the sun rises, David and All Might reflect on how Melissa and Midoriya are the next generation of heroes and how the world will be in good hands even after All Might's Quirk is gone.
