Five years have come and gone since Izuku Midoriya, famously known as Deku, along with his Class 1-A companions, burst onto the cinematic scene with the movie, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes. Now, Crunchyroll, the renowned anime streaming giant, is bringing this fan-favorite film back to the masses. Starting from 5 p.m. PT on August 17, the movie will be available in both its English dubbed version and the original Japanese audio with subtitles.
Global Success of My Hero Academia’s Cinematic Adventures
My Hero Academia: Two Heroes was a pioneering effort, being the first among three cinematic releases for the globally celebrated anime series. Its theatrical debut not only earned rave reviews but also saw an impressive box office collection, amassing $33.4 million globally. The film’s overwhelming success paved the way for subsequent releases: My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising in 2019 and My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission in 2021. The man steering the ship for all three releases was none other than the series’ acclaimed director, Kenji Nagasaki, with Yosuke Kuroda handling the script for Two Heroes.
Two Heroes: An Epic Tale of Valor
In this compelling story, Deku and his fellow U.A. Academy students embark on a journey to I-Island, an iconic floating city. This city houses the I-Expo, a globally recognized event showcasing top-notch hero gadgets and innovations. It’s here that All-Might, the celebrated hero, wishes to reconnect with an old ally, David Shields, and his daughter Melissa. But the event takes a dark turn when antagonists sabotage I-Expo, capturing All-Might in a wicked scheme. With the legendary hero compromised, it’s the budding heroes’ time to shine and rescue everyone from imminent peril.
The My Hero Academia Saga Continues…
There’s no shortage of superhero tales from the My Hero Academia universe. Crunchyroll, the primary hub for streaming the main My Hero Academia series, is currently rolling out Season 7. Based on the cherished manga by Kōhei Horikoshi, the series has masterfully portrayed Deku’s ascent. Starting as a regular boy with no unique abilities or “quirk”, his journey to becoming a beacon of hope and peace, inspired by his hero, All-Might, has been awe-inspiring. The narrative is now building towards a grand battle, featuring international heroes uniting against the formidable villain, All For One. Additionally, fans can eagerly await the fourth animated movie and an upcoming live-action movie courtesy of Netflix and Legendary Entertainment.
In conclusion, the My Hero Academia franchise continues to expand, delivering engaging narratives and memorable characters. The return of My Hero Academia: Two Heroes on Crunchyroll this August 17 offers fans a chance to relive the magic.
