My Hero Academia fans know that series creator Kohei Horikoshi is a major Star Wars fan, and now they’re wondering if he just didn’t sneak a big reference to The Mandalorian into the manga. My Hero Academia chapter 296 surveys the aftermath of the big war between pro heroes and the League of Villains, and what the battle has done to the heroes and villains that fought it - as well as the normal citizens that were caught in the crossfire. After several urban cities were devastated by Tomura Shigaraki and Gigantomachi, it takes every hero on-hand to clear the rumble - including one that looks a lot like The Mandaloriani’s Din Djarin!
PS5/ Hmm could also be Mando, given Horikoshi’s fondness for Star Wars and the current zeitgeist. But the buster cannon and chunky feet are very Mega Man-ish, and MMX has been referenced by name in MHA, even.
