This begins directly during the fight against Overhaul with a surprisingly well animated pre-rendered opening cutscene. When you first start up the game, you are directly thrown into the story mode which is adapted from the hero provisional license arc from season 3 to the Overhaul arc from season 4 of the anime. It’s quite disappointing to see that this game was just another generic anime arena fighter as a video game based on the My Hero Academia series could potentially be amazing with how unique the series is. Instead, the game lacks any creativity and was clearly rushed out in order to be released during the currently airing season of the anime it’s based on.
Although there are some great anime games such as Dragon Ball FighterZ or Dragon Ball Z Kakarot that don’t fall into this curse, My Hero One’s Justice 2 is sadly not one of them.
Video games adapted from anime typically fall in to the curse of being shallow and My Hero One’s Justice 2 is no exception.
