The story
A mysterious group called Humarize strongly believes in the Quirk Singularity Doomsday theory which states that when quirks get mixed further in with future generations, that power will bring forth the end of humanity. In order to save everyone, the Pro-Heroes around the world ask UA Academy heroes-in-training to assist them and form a world-class selected hero team. It’s up to the heroes to save the world and the future of heroes in what is the most dangerous crisis to take place yet in My Hero Academia.
My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission recap

Directed by Kenji Nagasaki from a script by Yosuke Kuroda, the third film is set during the Endeavor Agency arc of season 5. Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki are posted to Otheon, where Izuku chases a young courier, Rody Soul, and ends up framed for mass murder by a police chief working for the cult. On the run with Rody, Izuku learns that Rody's father helped build the bombs and that a briefcase they carry holds a code that can shut them down. The cult's leader, Flect Turn, gives the world two hours before every bomb goes off. Watch it during season 5, alongside the internship episodes.
