My hero academia movie world heroes mission release date

My Hero Academiahas revealed the first release details for its new World Heroes' Missionmovie on Blu-ray and DVD! While the fifth season of the series was introducing fans to a whole new kind of world for the heroes and villains as they geared up for war in the next season, one of the most exciting aspects of the anime this Summer was seeing that the third film in the franchise also hit theaters of Japan. With the film now making its way internationally, it's also gearing up for its next wave of releases in Japan. 

My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission has revealed that the film will be hitting Blu-ray and DVD in Japan beginning on February 16th. With the film still making its way through international theaters as of this writing, unfortunately there are no Blu-ray details for the other regions just yet, but with the film hitting home video in Japan early next year it will also start a wave of home video and potential streaming releases for the new movie in the following months after it starts hitting shelves. That means even more fans will be able to check out the new movie.

The film kicked off its international releases this weekend in North America, and fans have responded well through not only their reviews on social media but have shown their love with its box office performances as well. Its limited screenings meant that some fans will have to wait for it to hit its own home video release, so at least now fans have an idea of when the new movie will finally be making its way to even more audiences next year. My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission is not yet rated, however, and runs for 104 minutes overall. 

Funimation officially describes the new movie as such, "In My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission, U.A. High School students Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki, and Katsuki Bakugo face the greatest crisis in My Hero Academia history, with only two hours to save the world! During their internship with the number one Pro Hero Endeavor Agency, Deku and his new friend Rody find themselves wanted nationwide for a crime they didn't commit.  Can Deku and his friends stop Humarise's global plans of eliminating all Quirks?"

My Hero Academia fans have their eyes on season six later this year. The manga will have some of its most epic arcs adapted when the anime returns, but there is something fans stateside need to binge before the show comes back. There are still tons of netizens who haven't seen My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission, and its recent release in Japan has fans wondering when the movie is going to hit home video.

The question is only burning brighter now that the anime's third film has gone live in Japan. Both the Blu-ray and DVD are live overseas for fans. The release took place on February 16, just over six months since the movie went live in theaters. And if My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission keeps that trend up, it will be a while before fans stateside can take it home.

After all, the movie hit up U.S. theaters back in October 2021. If the film's DVD release tracks here as it did in Japan, My Hero Academia will drop its Blu-ray/DVD in six months which leaves us with an April 2022 release. This wouldn't leave stateside fans hanging for long, and until we get official word, fans are sticking to this theory.

After all, the home video releases for My Hero Academia's films have been all over the place, so it is hard to lock down a pattern. Its first movie, Two Heroes, dropped its Japanese home video in February 2019 before the U.S. release came just a month later. This all changed with the second movie, Heroes Rising. This film released its home video in Japan in July 2020, but it didn't come overseas until that October. There is no doubt the pandemic impacted the second film's delayed release, and its continued impact on the global supply chain has made the future uncertain for World Heroes' Mission. But if we are lucky, the film will make landfall in the U.S. well before summer gets into the swing of things.
