My Hero Academia: You’re Next Synopsis
My Hero Academia: You’re Next continues the adventures of Izuku Midoriya (Deku) and his Class 1-A friends, set against the backdrop of chaos following the Paranormal Liberation War. They are assigned to capture a criminal group called the Jailbreakers, who are causing trouble in society.
In one mission, Izuku attempts to rescue a girl named Anna Scervino. However, upon touching Anna, Izuku experiences a vision of a rose and is struck by a painful sensation that knocks him back.
Suddenly, a man with an eye patch and a mechanical arm, named Giulio Gandini, appears and attempts to attack Anna. Giulio’s attack is thwarted by Bruno Gollini, a man with the ability to create bubbles that can slow down time.
The conflict escalates when Valdo, the leader of the Gollini mafia family, appears, declaring himself as “Dark Might.” He also claims that he will become the next “Symbol of Peace.”
Valdo plans to use Anna’s unique Quirk, which can enhance his powers. Using this ability, he creates a giant flying fortress that brings destruction across Japan.
Now, the question remains: Can Deku and the entire Class 1-A from U.A. High School protect the world by defeating Dark Might, the man who claims to be the new Symbol of Peace?
