Chronologically, You’re Next — which was released theatrically in late 2024, was one of Japan’s top-earning films of the year and grossed a not-insignificant $32 million internationally — slots between the sixth and seventh seasons of the series, and finds superhero protagonist Izuku “Deku” Midoriya – who lives in a world where the majority of the population has superpowers dubbed “quirks” – and his too-many-to-list-here pals teaming up with a new hero to battle a new villain aiming to, of course, take over everything. The movie will still be perfectly acceptably entertaining if I don’t list them all here, and we simply marvel at the weirdness of the rogue’s gallery, with all the garish costumes and bizarre powers that struck me as a conglomeration of Star Blazers, Guardians of the Galaxy and veritable assloads of psychedelic drugs. Deku winds up fighting alongside Giulio to thwart Dark Might and save Japan, which involves lots of fighting, yelling, exploding and other stuff that comprises violent conflict, because there’s just no talking this guy down, and I know that’s a gross oversimplification of what occurs here, but suffice to say that even a modest briefing of what plays out would take about 10 times longer than the movie’s run time.
