The latest key visual for the fourth film installment of the anime "My Hero Academia," titled "My Hero Academia THE MOVIE: You're Next" (releasing on August 2), has been unveiled.

This powerful visual, produced by BONES and drawn by Yoshihiko Umakoshi, who is in charge of character design for the My Hero Academia series, features the iconic scene of All Might pointing with the words "Next, it's you," which forms the backdrop of this movie's storyline and its subtitle.

Entrusted with All Might's will, Deku, along with Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and other Class 1-A members, as well as professional heroes, come together in a mighty assembly, echoing the tagline "Next, It's Our Turn!"

This key visual is filled with the greatest sense of tension and dynamism in the history of My Hero Academia movies, foreshadowing a fiercely moving battle centered around the will of All Might, the symbol of peace and everyone's aspiration.

Additionally, at the center of the visual are two original characters pivotal to the movie's plot: Julio, with his suspicious expression, and Anna, looking troubled. How will these two intertwine with the story? Expectations are high.

The original work for this movie is a popular manga that has exceeded 100 million copies in circulation. Set in a world where it's normal for people to have superpowers known as "Quirks," the protagonist, Izuku Midoriya (Deku), aims to become a "Hero" who protects society and confronts criminals who misuse their Quirks, while growing alongside his peers at the prestigious hero academy, U.A. High School.

Serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" since July 2014, the TV anime's first season started in April 2016, and the series has also expanded to include movies. The seventh season of the TV anime is currently airing. The movie, supervised by the manga's original creator Kohei Horikoshi and featuring an original story by him, is set in the same timeline as the seventh season of the anime. In a society ravaged by battles between heroes and villains, with escapees from villain containment facilities causing chaos, a major incident shakes the world just before the final showdown between the heroes, including the protagonist, Izuku Midoriya, and the villains.
