In case you missed it, there is a new My Hero Academia game on the market, My Hero Academia: All's Justice, which will help conclude the story of the anime and manga in video game form. Unfortunately, by most accounts, the game is pretty OK, with a 73 on Metacritic out of 27 reviews, which seems to be par for the course when it comes to anime games, especially anime fighting games.
That said, if there's one thing that can make any game better, its memes, and someone at Nexus Mods took that notion to heart. Because just 24 hours after All's Justice was launched, they managed to modify Grand Theft Auto San Andreas CJ in the game.
No, we're not kidding.
The mod, which is available on PC, takes CJ and puts him over series protagonist Deku.
My Hero Academia: All's Justice Is A Massive Leap Forward From One's Justice
All's Justice finally feels like the My Hero Academia game fans deserve, even if it's still a bit fluid.
Since this is an overlay mod, don't expect CJ to scream at San Andreas Smash or Los Santos Smash. But it's the exact kind of pointless addition that can help take a mediocre title and make it, well, less mediocre.
It's also the latest and what has been a long-standing challenge among gamers – find some way to modify CJ for the latest video game.
Where there's a will, there's a CJ
It's unclear when the whole “mod CJ into everything” challenge started, but TheGamer has content dating back to 2022 that places CJ in Spider-Man, as well as Stray. And since then, almost every popular game has had a fan adding CJ to it.
In 2023, a mod was released for Armored Core 6 that turned CJ into a mech. Since 2024, CJ was added to SIlent Hill 2, replacing James as the main character. A year after that, Eve from Stellar Blade was replaced by – you guessed it – CJ from San Andreas.
Those are just the more notable examples. There is a CJ mod for Marvel vs. Capcom and in WWE video games and what appears to be the original Ghost of Tsushima.
Considering how stacked 2026 is when it comes to video game releases, it's highly likely that this won't be the end of CJ mods. In fact, if modders have their way, this is just the beginning.
