In the My Hero Academia movie "world heroes mission", the police officer from
a foreign country calls Endeavor "the number one hero in Japan". Does this
mean all the rank list we knew for heroes was only for Japan? And also All
Might was never the number one hero of the world?

Is Endeavor the number one hero only in Japan or this is just a non canon
invention from the movie?

Is Endeavor the number one hero only in Japan?


Your analysis is correct.

With the question Aki linked, [Why do the top 10 heroes in Boku no Hero
Academia only come from Japan?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/53698/2516),
it is shown canonically that the ranking board mentioned throughout the anime
and movies refers to the local Japanese hero rank. So yes, Endeavor is
currently the number one hero of _Japan_ ; with All Might being the former
number one hero of Japan

To further support this in the manga:
