Bandai Namco has revealed the next DLC character for My Hero Academia: All's Justice on PlayStation 5, pulling a legendary hero from the past into the arena. Nana Shimura, the former wielder of One For All and mentor to All Might, is joining the roster as a post-launch fighter.

A new trailer shows Shimura in action, and the character comes with a line that will be familiar to fans of the anime and manga: "Evil will never win the day – I guarantee it." That quote, spoken by Shimura to All Might in a flashback, captures her role as a hero who passed down the superpowered Quirk known as One For All to her successor.

Shimura is the fourth of five planned DLC characters included in the game's Season Pass. The Deluxe Edition of My Hero Academia: All's Justice comes with the base game and the full Season Pass, which grants access to all five additional playable characters as they release. The Ultimate Edition goes further, bundling the base game, the Season Pass, 20 additional costumes, and seven HUD banners.

The base game launched on PlayStation 5 and other platforms earlier, but this announcement centers on the PS5 version. For players who already own the standard edition, the Season Pass and individual characters are available for separate purchase. The game is a 3D arena fighter that pits characters from the My Hero Academia universe against each other in battles that reflect the series' quirks and abilities.

Nana Shimura is a significant addition for longtime fans. She appears primarily in flashbacks as a key figure in the legacy of One For All. Her fighting style, according to the trailer, incorporates the Quirk of Float — a power she passed down through One For All — along with close-quarters combat and powerful finishing moves. The character model and animations in the trailer match the style of the existing roster, fitting the cel-shaded look of the game.

For context, My Hero Academia: All's Justice launched with a roster that included characters from across the series, such as Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, All Might, and villains like Tomura Shigaraki. The Season Pass expands on that roster with five characters chosen to deepen the representation of the series. Prior DLC releases have not been detailed in this announcement, but the addition of Shimura suggests that the developers are reaching into the past of the series to find fighters that weren't in the initial lineup.

The announcement does not specify a release date for Nana Shimura, only that she is the latest DLC character to be added post-launch. The Season Pass promises five additional playable characters total, and with Shimura as the fourth, only one more remains to be revealed.

For players considering which edition to buy, the math is straightforward. Deluxe Edition includes the base game plus the Season Pass, which covers all five DLC characters. The Ultimate Edition adds 20 costumes and seven HUD banners on top of that. If you want the full character roster, the Deluxe Edition is the minimum. If you want extra cosmetics to customize your fighters and your menu screen, the Ultimate Edition is the straightforward upgrade.

The game has been available on PS5 since its launch, and this DLC announcement is part of the ongoing post-release support. Bandai Namco has not announced whether the Season Pass will be expanded beyond the initial five characters, nor has it revealed when the final character will arrive.

For now, the focus is on Nana Shimura, a hero whose voice and actions shaped the entire My Hero Academia story. Her arrival in the game gives players a chance to fight as the woman who believed in All Might before anyone else did, and who passed on the power that eventually reached Izuku Midoriya. In a game built around the clash of Quirks and ideologies, she brings the weight of that legacy into every match.

Availability: My Hero Academia: All's Justice is available now on PlayStation 5. The Nana Shimura DLC is included in the Season Pass, which is part of the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions, or can be purchased separately. Check the PlayStation Store for pricing and release date details.
