An extraordinary cosplay combining visual effects art and powerful propwork has brought one of My Hero Academia’s most popular characters to life. With giant flame pauldrons and some sparks added in editing, Endeavor’s near-impossible to portray quirk has finally been given the cosplay treatment it deserves.
My Hero Academia’s poster boy for bad parenting, Endeavor has been a hotly debated character ever since his debut. The longtime number two hero had always envied All Might for his power and status as number one.

In recent times, Endeavor has attempted to change his ways after realizing the harm he caused to his kids and has garnered a huge fan following, with many cheering the hero on to fully redeem himself.
