Are The My Hero Academia Movies Canon

So, Are Those My Hero Academia Movies REALLY Canon? Let's Be Honest.

We've all been there. Binge-watching My Hero Academia, loving every second.

Then you remember the movies. Did Kōhei Horikoshi sensei actually sign off on them?

The "Official" Stance: Sort Of, Maybe?

Officially, the party line is...complicated. They're adjacent to the main story.

They fit somewhere in the timeline. But where? That's the million dollar question.

It feels like they're saying, "Yeah, watch 'em, but don't think about them too hard."

My (Unpopular) Opinion: Nope. Not Really.

Here's where I get controversial. I'm gonna say it: They're basically cool, extended filler.

Hear me out! Cool filler, mind you. Explosions, awesome fights, the whole shebang.

But canon? I just don't buy it. Sorry, not sorry.

The Continuity Conundrum

Think about it. Big, world-altering events happen in these movies.

Like, HUGE battles and character developments. Stuff that SHOULD ripple through the main series.

But...nothing. Everyone's back to normal in the next season like nothing happened. It's weird.

Remember Two Heroes? Great Movie, Though!

That movie introduced us to David Shield. A vital link to All Might's past.

Plus a super cool villain that pushes everyone to their limits.

Amazing! But does David ever get mentioned again in the main series? Nope.

Heroes:Rising: That Ending, Though...

Okay, Heroes:Rising went there. Aizawa class, island adventure!

That ending had major implications for Deku and Bakugo. Like, major.

But, surprise! The next season starts, and it's like everyone forgot they almost died. Convenient, huh?

What About World Heroes' Mission?

The latest movie sends Deku on the run after being framed for mass murder. High stakes!

The whole world is against him, and he has to prove his innocence. Intense.

And...nothing. No repercussions in the main storyline. It’s back to business as usual for the trio.

The Power-Scaling Problem

Another issue? The power levels. Characters suddenly get super-powered boosts in the movies.

They perform feats that seem impossible based on where they are in the series.

It's fun to watch, but it throws the established power-scaling completely out the window.

A Parallel Universe?

My theory? The movies exist in a parallel My Hero Academia universe.

Similar characters, similar events, but ultimately, a different continuity.

Think of it like the What If...? series from Marvel. Fun, but not "real."

Enjoy the Ride, Don't Sweat the Canon

Ultimately, does it really matter if they're canon or not? Probably not.

The movies are entertaining. They give us more of the characters we love.

So, enjoy the explosions, the cool costumes, and the epic battles. Just don't overthink it!

My Final Verdict: Officially Unofficial

So, my final answer? The movies are officially unofficial.

Fun, exciting, but ultimately, a separate entity from the main story.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go rewatch Two Heroes. Because why not?

And remember, that's just, like, my opinion, man.
