Synopsis
Between the second and third television seasons, All Might travels with Izuku Midoriya to I-Island, a mobile research facility hosting the prestigious I-Expo. There they reunite with All Might's former partner, scientist David Shield, and meet his Quirkless daughter, Melissa Shield, an aspiring inventor who designs support equipment for heroes.
The exhibition becomes a crisis when the metal-controlling villain Wolfram seizes the island's security system and takes its leading scientists and heroes hostage. With the professional heroes immobilized, Izuku, Melissa, and several members of Class 1-A attempt to retake the central tower. The film is especially notable for exploring All Might's youth in the United States and his longstanding friendship with David.
