My Hero Academia: Two Heroes - Characters & Cast

Deku's primary motivation is to save everyone on I-Island and protect his friends and mentor. He is driven by his innate heroic spirit and the desire to live up to the legacy of One For All that All Might entrusted to him.

Deku arrives on I-Island somewhat in the shadow of his mentor, All Might. Throughout the film, he is thrust into a leadership role when the adults are incapacitated. He demonstrates growth in his strategic thinking and his ability to inspire his classmates. His arc culminates in him fighting alongside a weakened All Might, proving he is ready to shoulder the responsibilities of a future top hero.

His motivation is to protect the innocent and maintain peace, even as his strength fades. He is also motivated by his deep care for Deku and his desire to see him succeed as his successor. A significant part of his motivation is also tied to his friendship with David Shield.

All Might's arc centers on his acceptance of his diminishing power and his faith in the next generation. He begins the film reminiscing about his past and confronting the harsh reality of his limits. By the end, after witnessing Deku and his friends' capabilities, he gains a renewed sense of hope and fully embraces his role as a mentor who has successfully passed on his ideals.

Melissa is motivated by her love for her father and her admiration for heroes like All Might. She shares Deku's desire to help people and uses her scientific acumen to achieve that goal, wanting to support heroes through her inventions.

Melissa initially feels helpless due to being Quirkless in a world of heroes. Her arc is about discovering her own way to contribute to heroism. She proves that intelligence and technological skill are as valuable as a Quirk. She transitions from a worried bystander to an active and crucial participant in the mission, taking control of the security systems and directly aiding the heroes.

His sole motivation is to save All Might from losing his power, believing that the world will lose its Symbol of Peace otherwise. This fear and desperation cloud his judgment, leading him down a misguided path.

David is a brilliant scientist who is haunted by the impending decline of his best friend, All Might. His arc is a tragic one, as his noble desire to help All Might leads him to make a terrible decision—staging a fake villain attack to retrieve a Quirk-amplifying device he created. He ultimately realizes the error of his ways and the true hope for the future lies not in preserving the past, but in trusting the next generation.

Wolfram is motivated by a desire for power and chaos. He seeks to steal the Quirk amplification device to augment his own abilities. It is later revealed he is working in concert with All For One, aiming to crush the Symbol of Peace and demoralize society.

Wolfram's character does not have a significant developmental arc. He is introduced as the primary antagonist who hijacks David Shield's plan for his own destructive purposes. His power and cruelty escalate throughout the film, especially after he uses the Quirk amplification device and reveals a connection to All For One. He serves as the physical obstacle that the heroes must overcome through teamwork and combined strength.
