With the success ofMy Hero Academiareaching astronomical heights, it makes sense that fans would get another big video game adaptation with all its newest heroes included.My Hero One’s Justice2has shown off a lot of that new roster over the last few months, with the game’s marketing highlightingnew fighters such as Mirio Togata, Sir Nighteye, and Fat Gum. However, the game’s newest trailer looks to mix things up a little, showing off more of the title’s villainous roster instead.
Released on Bandai Namco’s YouTube channel, this new trailer comes with over two minutes of footage directly centered around both new and returning faces fromMy Hero Academia’svillainous roster. The new gameplay shown displays both the characters' special moves and general powers, with many seemingly replicating the anime to an incredibly authentic degree.

The trailer begins showing off one of theMy Hero One’s Justice 2’sbiggest new additions: Season 4’s main antagonist, Kai Chisaki (aka, Overhaul). The footage shows off a lot more of the villain’s move set, with his power to break and reassemble objects used to send massive ground attacks at his opponents. The end of the trailer also shows off a second, more powerful form of Overhaul, which comes later into the series when he has his battle with the show’s main protagonist, Deku. He seems to possess much stronger variations of his previous moves, with one seeing massive stalagmites rise from the ground and impale Deku.
The next character shown is a new variation of main antagonist Tomura Shigaraki who comes without his signature disembodied hand mask. The footage shows him using a combination of strong aerial moves and grabs that allow him to use his decay ability to drain the life of his opponents. Following this, we see the ninja villain Twice, who utilizes his whip and ability to create perfect duplicates to battle opponents. One scene shows him spawn a clone ofFat Gumand use his own powers against him.
Next is Mr Compress, who’s super-speed and ability to trap people in marbles is shown off in his move set. Not only can he conjure weapons - such as swords - to fight enemies, but one scene even shows him compress an enemy into a marble, load them into a gun, and shoot them like a firework. Finally, the trailer also puts a focus on Kendo Rappa. The giant, brute-like villain uses his sensationally quick arms to fire bulletlike punches, with his moves seemingly battering through opponents in a similar style to his fights inMy Hero AcademiaSeason 4.
