That makes it a little more important than usual for My Hero Academia fans to stay caught up on the series' films, which isn't always an easy task in the modern, fragmented streaming marketplace.

The films have all been very successful in their theatrical runs, and are definitely worth taking the time to watch for anyone who's even a casual fan of the series.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes

My Hero Academia's First Film Goes All-Out to Deliver Something Big

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes opens with a flashback to All Might's time in America, when he worked with a scientist who developed support gear, David Shield. In the present, All Might receives an invitation to a hero expo at the artificial I-Island, and opts to bring Midoriya along. Several of the other students end up attending as well.

Not long after arriving, Midoriya meets Melissa Shield, David's daughter, who presents him with a special gauntlet that will allow him to use One for All without hurting himself. Not long after, the expo comes under attack from a villain named Wolfram, who takes the entire island hostage. The students must fight back against Wolfram and his goons, but can All Might, whose power is already waning, actually defeat this foe?

Two Heroes takes its name from the idea of Deku and All Might fighting side-by-side, something fans desperately wanted to see. The movie is loaded with exciting moments, and Melissa Shield is an adorable character who instantly became a fan favorite. Melissa has appeared in the manga on several occasions and even builds Deku another gauntlet later in the story. The anime features a special tie-in episode,"Special Episode: Save the World With Love!" which acts as a prologue to the film, and establishes when it takes place.

My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising

Heroes: Rising Offers Excellent Character Moments and an Incredible Twist

Heroes: Rising follows the entirety of U.A.'s Class 1-A as they're sent to a small island, Nabu Island, to act as its local heroes for their winter semester safety program. The island is quite peaceful and idyllic, meaning there isn't a lot of danger for the kids to get involved in, which gives them the opportunity to really get to know the islands' residents as they help them with everyday tasks.

A villain involved with the League of Villains, who goes by the name "Nine" for his nine Quirks, arrives at the island, however, seeking a certain child whose blood could save his life. With their capacity to communicate with the mainland immediately destroyed, the kids of Class 1-A are on their own to deal with Nine and his gang.

Heroes Rising is equally split between calm, peaceful moments and intense action, which makes up the bulk of the back half of the movie. The film is intended to be set during the Meta Liberation Army arc of the manga, which hadn't yet been adapted for the anime at the time of its release, meaning some characters such as Hawks debuted in the film first. Heroes: Rising is well known among fans for its climax, which features a moment that no fan would've predicted.
