Bones and Toho are already working on new seasons of the anime nonstop, so I was really surprised when they told me there would be a new movie. I couldn't help but think back to my childhood when a new Dragon Ball movie was released every year. Those made me so excited that I remember sitting in the movie theater with my heart racing like crazy.

So I hope the new generation of kids around the world can enjoy this movie just as much as me back then," Horikoshi continued with a tease of where in the anime it will take place, "It'll take place after the War from Season 6, meaning that the collapsed society will be the stage this time. After having been through so much and learning so many things, who will Deku and his friends fight against this time? What will they protect?! Look forward to it!""

According to the author, the upcoming movie will be centered around the time period after the Paranormal Liberation War and it will cover "a collapsed society" which was seen in season 6 when Deku entered his vigilante phase. Villains are running rampant and heroes are scrambling to protect civilization as All for One is planning his ultimate takeover.

It has also been communicated that the feature film will follow the character's storylines that have been written as well as the timeline of the anime. Horikoshi also informed the audience that Toho and Bones are working on the next season of the incredibly popular anime.
