My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Endeavor's Facial Scar

At the beginning of the film, the hero Endeavor is shown with a large scar over his left eye. This is a direct reference to his fight with the High-End Nomu in the Pro Hero Arc of the manga, an event that had not yet been fully animated in the TV series when the movie was released.

Past One For All Users

When Nine attempts to steal Deku's Quirk, he has a vision of the previous wielders of One For All. One of these figures is clearly identifiable as Daigoro Banjo, the 5th user, whose identity and Quirk, Blackwhip, are significant reveals that occur much later in the manga.

Deku's Upgraded Gear

Deku is seen using his upgraded Air Force Gloves and Iron Soles with much more proficiency than he had at that point in the anime. This was a subtle nod to his future development and mastery of his Shoot Style.

Godzilla Cameo

The film features a brief appearance of a kaiju-like Pro Hero named Godzillo. This is a clear homage to the iconic monster Godzilla, with his bio even referencing the 1998 American Godzilla film.
