Unfortunately for those who only watch the anime of My Hero Academia, you are missing out on a good deal of back story when it came to the young student of UA Academy whose Quirk allowed him to manipulate clouds for offensive and defensive strategies. In the pages of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, the spin-off series that took the opportunity to explore not only the present lives of some of the vigilantes of the Shonen universe but also diving into the past for some of the biggest characters. 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.
