Horikoshi shared in a statement posted on the series’ website: “I want to share the excitement that manga movies have given me to boys and girls around the world . But I’d be happy if I could give back! This time, just like in the past, the content will be in line with the time series that was broadcast in the TV anime. The stage of this time will be a society that has finally collapsed safely in the anime. Look forward to what the grown-up Deku will fight and what they will protect!”
