The My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission movie will debut an original character named Rody Soul when it releases in theaters on August 6 in Japan.
The character is designed by series creator Kohei Horikoshi. It’s said that Rody gave up on his own dreams in order to make a living and has a secret distrust of heroes. However, he’s happy to help Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki stop a new organization called “HUMANIZE” that is looking to destroy all Quirk holders. Voicing Rody Soul is voice actor Ryo Yoshizawa (Bleach), who can be seen posing with Deku above.
