My Hero Academia Nailed Endeavor's Most Show Mom Moment Yet

My Hero Academia has recently wrapped the intense storyline of Overhaul and the heroes attempting to bring down his plan to change the world for the betterment of his gang of Yakuza. With Midoriya saving Eri and delivering the final blow to the mob boss, Class 1-A, and viewers, are getting some much needed brevity in the form of both Bakugo and Todoroki attempting to earn their individual provisional hero licenses. However, things become hilariously difficult as both young heroes are given a unique challenge in the form of taking care of a group of rowdy, super powered children. Through this episode, we also see Endeavor, the father of Shoto, be given his ultimate "Mom moment".

Endeavor and Shoto have never had a very healthy relationship, with the current number one hero starting his son on the path to becoming a hero very early on in his life. Unfortunately for Shoto, Endeavor's hands on training was far beyond what many in the universe would consider not abusive and the fiery dad put his son through hell and back in an attempt to have him become one of the best heroes around. Though Endeavor may seem encouraging in this most recent episode, there's a history of abuse that lies behind the curtains with the father and son.

One My Hero Academia fan decided to share the scene in question that sees Endeavor attempting to root for his son, creating an awkward "mom moment" for the number one hero, who spent the rest of the event grilling All Might on the best way for him to become the "Symbol of Peace":

SHOTOOOOOOOO

Without going into spoilers, the manga for My Hero Academia dives deep into not only the relationship between Shoto and Endeavor, but also the Endeavor family as a whole. Needless to say, the family isn't what you'd call the typical nuclear family and the abuse that took place throughout the years split this family apart time and time again. Needless to say, when the anime dives into these tales, it should be interesting to see just how faithfully they decide to adapt this heavy story line.

What did you think of Endeavor's hilarious "Mom Moment"? Do you think Shoto will get his provisional hero license? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and UA Academy!

My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes.
