Sounds like your average MAH film, which isn't too surprising.

This is a super weird movie.

It's a no-consequences midpoint movie that happens in a plot point the anime already passed and airs right after the manga ends.

I don't think I have seen something so bizarre as this situation.

The only logical conclusion I can make is that this was supposed to air at the end of season 6 and before 7 and something happened that delayed it.

These movies feel like opportunities to play with comic cliches that the main series didn’t. In this case the evil version of a character, the Cyborg Superman, Bizarro, etc. I do kind of wish they did play with the ideas a bit more though. For instance, weakness of World Heroes Mission was that it had a setup similar to Superman/Batman: Public Enemies but didn’t fully commit the way that film did, although one could argue the difference was Deku was being accused by some random group and Superman was being set up by Lex Luthor, who at the time was the President.

Imagine if they spent half the effort on the show as they do on these movies...

Synopsis:
Japan's cities lie abandoned and in ruins. Only small pockets of society still exist


Wait, this doesn't sound like the "ordinary society, just with superheroes' I recall from the beginning of the series. Is this movie an AU, or does something happen in the later seasons to destroy Japan's government and throw the country into Mad Max anarchy?

Isn't that just Overhaul's power set?
