　　Now Playing: My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising Spoiler Review & Movie Breakdown

　　Assuming it continues to follow the manga (which, at this point is probably a given), the fifth season will pick up during the Joint Training arc. These events directly precede what occurs in My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, a 2019 movie that sees Midoriya, Bakugo, and the rest of Class 1-A go up against Nine, a man who possesses nine different superpowered Quirks.

　　In the Joint Training arc, Class 1-A joins up with 1-B to hone their abilities in a tournament-style battle. Depending on how quickly the show moves through the arc, Season 5 might also cover some of the Meta Liberation Army arc, which goes into main villain Tomura Shigaraki's backstory and likely directly follows the events of Heroes Rising.

　　If you want to get a jump on Season 5 and see what it's likely going to cover in the manga, Viz Media publishes My Hero Academia in English online.

　　In GameSpot's My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising review, Jordan Ramée writes, "There's plenty to love about My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising--it manages to inject an exciting and compelling side story into the anime--but its conclusion dashes much of that goodwill with a single line of dialogue. Until that moment, though, Heroes Rising is a good superhero movie that manages to satisfyingly sell the theme of its central conflict."
