New And Old Characters

Flect Turn is a new character introduced in this film and he is the head of a cultish terrorist group of people who feel those with quirks are evil. They do not want the genes passed down through generations and are willing to do anything they can to stop it form happening. 

Deku is one of the students tasked with trying to stop them, or at least figure out more of what they are up to, when he meets Rody Soul. The two end up bonding quite a bit while on the road together. It is easy for the audience to fall in love with Rody, even if he doesn’t always do the right thing.

Of course, many fan favorites show up in this movie as well. Deku is always inspiring, brave, and giving it his all. That is exactly how he is in this movie too — inspiring everyone around him to just be better and do better. 

Deku is the main focus along with his adventures with Rody, but Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki have a lot of standout moments as well. Even though there just is not the time to give attention to the others, most of them do have their moments to shine, if only for a minute.

Themes Relevant To Today

The biggest main takeaway from this movie is about judging others just because they are different than you. Unfortunately this is a theme that is relevant in the real world right now, and always has been. The film uses words like pure when talking about those who do not have quirks — very reminiscent of how Muggles are spoken about in Harry Potter. 

One of the very first lines of the film is that 80% of the population is sick with quirks – SICK with them. This, and the fact that the terrorists are out to kill only those with quirks, is disheartening. The worst part about it is that this is very much the world we live in today. Leave it to an anime to point that out to us. 

There are a lot of lessons to be learned here about forgiveness, getting to know people before you judge them, and perseverance.

Action Packed

My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission spend a lot of time with the emotional and inspiring story, but it doesn’t shy away from the action. There are plenty of times that viewers get to see large scale fights and quirks in action. There are massive battles sprinkled throughout the movie, and of course a big epic one at the end.

Because of the way they are spread throughout the movie does not have time to drag. There needs to be character development for the new ones, of course, but this is something My Hero Academia has mastered. Exploring Rody helps to move the plot along. That coupled with all the action makes this movie fly by.
