Premise[]
Set 5 years after Despicable Me 4, Gru, Lucy and the rest of Anti-Villain League, led by Silas Ramsbottom, are faced with their most difficult and dangerous task to date—one that not even the Mega Minions can easily overcome: stopping the evil crime lady Empress Meishu, who led the Yakuza Force, from wreaking havoc on the world's laws. In the meantime, Meishu's right-hand husband Kaitou Yamato is a villain, and Gru's daughters Margo, Edith, and Agnes, along with their new friend Steven Spiker, must team up to defeat him. Gru Jr., who has grown to be five years old, must assist the three in achieving the latter goal.
