My Hero Academia may have already closed the book on its main anime story, but the franchise clearly isn’t slowing down yet.
According to the June 2026 schedule shared by What’s on Netflix, My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission is set to arrive on Netflix on June 1. The movie first released in 2021, during the anime’s fifth season, so this is a nice catch-up moment for fans who missed it or want to revisit Deku’s big international mission.
For Malaysian and SEA anime fans, this one matters because My Hero Academia has always been one of those gateway shonen titles — the kind everyone either watched weekly, argued about in group chats, or saw all over convention artist alleys. With the anime ending in December 2025 after nine years, Netflix bringing one of its major films back into the spotlight feels like good timing, especially for newer fans who only jumped in during the final arc hype.
Where World Heroes’ Mission fits in the timeline
World Heroes’ Mission takes place around the Endeavor Agency Arc, in the middle of Season 5. That puts it before the winter work-studies and before the Paranormal Liberation War kicks the story into full chaos mode.
The movie follows Deku, Bakugo and Shoto as they work under Endeavor, Japan’s No. 1 hero, while operating in the country of Otheon. The threat this time comes from Humarise, a group that believes people with quirks should be wiped out. Their weapon can force quirk users to lose control of their abilities, leading to fatal consequences.
Things get messy when Deku is blamed for a crime he didn’t commit. During the chase, he meets Rody Soul, a street-smart local with his own baggage and secrets. Rody is one of the film’s biggest highlights, and while World Heroes’ Mission itself is a non-canon story, Rody later got a brief canon nod in the manga’s final arc when the world was cheering Deku on against All For One.
Why this is a good time to revisit it
My Hero Academia is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, and the team has been rolling out new projects around the franchise. A special episode, My Hero Academia: More, premiered on Crunchyroll on May 2, 2026, adapting material from the manga’s final volume and showing the U.A. students eight years after the Final War.
There is also a new anime short on the way titled I am a hero too, focused on Eri’s life after the war. Her dream of becoming a singer, inspired by Class 1-A’s school festival performance, is a sweet full-circle idea. No release date or trailer has been confirmed yet.
For fans in Malaysia, the only thing to watch is platform availability. The source specifically mentions Netflix’s schedule and notes the film is also on Crunchyroll and Prime Video, but streaming libraries can shift by region. So yes, check your local Netflix app on June 1 before celebrating too hard, bro.
Still, whether you’re doing a full rewatch or just want more Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki action, World Heroes’ Mission remains one of the franchise’s bigger movie outings — flashy fights, global stakes, and enough emotional fuel to make it worth another run.
