MHA One-Shot About Endeavor Set to Debut Before World Heroes Mission Movie

My Hero Academia fans couldn’t be happier right now. With the recent developments in the manga to the anime going into the next arc, everything is on point.

On top of that, the movie is less than a month away! Adding to all that comes a special one-shot about a new fan favorite.

Endeavor is a character who wasn’t liked by the fans when he was first introduced. His motivations for being a hero and his attitude towards Shoto and other members of his family were the main reasons why.

Yet, surprisingly, his arc at the end of Season 4 changed a lot of opinions about him. Now, he is getting the spotlight once again.

Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine Issue 35 will be released with a special 17-page one-shot titled “Endeavor’s Mission” by Akiyama Youko, an assistant to mangaka Kohei Horikoshi himself. 

This one-shot will be released on 1st August, commemorating the release of the My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission movie. 

The special one-shot is expected to act as a prelude to the movie which will be released on 5th August 2021. 

The Weekly Shonen Jump will be on a break next week because of the start of the Tokyo Olympics. Hence, the delay in the release of Issue 35.

Given Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki’s heavy involvement in the upcoming film, Endeavor is likely to play a supporting role.

We are currently on the Endeavor Agency arc in the anime, it wouldn’t be a surprise if this sort of coordination is on purpose.

The hype for this movie just doesn’t seem to go down. With everything now in place, the only thing left is to wait.
