With the storyline exploring Aizawa's past giving us an in-depth look at Oboro, we're hoping that Shirakumo can receive more screen time in the future of the animated series.

Stephen Sanders, the new voice of Oboro Shirakumo in the English Dub of My Hero Academia, revealed that he would be bringing the role to life in the West, with the former hero currently being overtaken by his Nomu personality of Kurogiri, who has been tasked with protecting the heir apparent to All For One:

With only a few episodes left in the fifth season of My Hero Academia, the latest episodes are building to a massive arc that is sure to take place in the next season and will see the heroes and villains clash in a war unlike anything else that the franchise has ever seen.
