Synopsis
*My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising - Epilogue Plus* is a short picture-drama epilogue created to follow the events of *Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 2: Heroes: Rising*. With a light comedic touch, it offers an extra post-film moment for fans.
It was included as a bonus feature with the movie’s BD/DVD release.
Otaku Consensus
Epilogue Plus lands as a well-liked but deliberately minor add-on: its 7.43 MAL score and 74/100 AniList score suggest fans value it as a tidy, comedic aftertaste to Heroes Rising rather than as essential My Hero Academia viewing. What works is the compact picture-drama format, which keeps the pacing light and disc-extra appropriate; the real limitation is that it offers little standalone weight for anyone not already invested in the film.
Why You Should Watch
Watch Epilogue Plus if you want the My Hero Academia cast energy in miniature: a short, comedy-leaning bonus that functions like an official after-party rather than another high-stakes shounen installment. It is best for viewers who finished Heroes Rising and want a sanctioned extra moment without committing to another arc, recap, or theatrical-scale conflict. The appeal is closer to a Blu-ray omake or drama-CD-style side scene than to a full Bones action showcase, so it scratches the same collector-completionist itch as bonus specials attached to long-running shounen franchises. If your favorite part of My Hero Academia is seeing its school-superpower world breathe between major battles, this is the kind of small, fan-facing release that rewards continuity loyalty.
What Makes It Stand Out
- 1
It was released as a bonus feature on the Heroes Rising BD/DVD rather than as a standard TV episode, which explains its compact, fan-service-oriented structure.
- 2
The format is a picture drama, making it closer to an illustrated epilogue scene than a fully animated OVA; that production choice puts emphasis on timing, dialogue rhythm, and character reactions.
- 3
Bones is the credited studio attached to the release, tying the extra to the same production house behind the broader My Hero Academia anime adaptation.
- 4
Its metadata is unusually narrow for the franchise: MAL lists Comedy as the genre, while AniList still tags it strongly with Super Power, Shounen, and School, reflecting how the special filters the series identity through a lighter bonus format.
- 5
The short holds a 7.43/10 on MyAnimeList from 22,528 votes and a 74/100 on AniList, numbers that point to a positively received niche extra rather than a widely discussed franchise milestone.
Fun Facts & Trivia
- Fun fact 1

- It aired on July 15, 2020, the same release context as the movie’s home-video bonus material rather than a regular broadcast-season slot.
- Fun fact 3

- Fun fact 4
- AniList records 306 favourites for the special, a modest but notable number for a one-episode picture-drama bonus.
