Yoco Akiyama's sixteenth Team-Up Missions installment carries the title The Soul Clan Visits Japan. Rody Soul fronts the cover art, and the roster gathers his younger siblings with Izuku Midoriya, Toshinori Yagi, and a handful of U.A. classmates for a story built around the family crossing into Japan.
Summary
No plot breakdown has been recorded for this installment, so what the chapter covers can only be traced through its title and its cast. The Soul Clan Visits Japan brings Rody Soul back into the picture, this time with his younger brother Roro and his sister Lala along for the trip, which places the family rather than the heroes at the center of the story.
Izuku Midoriya and Toshinori Yagi appear alongside them, joined by Eijiro Kirishima, Mezo Shoji, and Kyoka Jiro. Stanleyk, Rody's bird companion, rounds out the lineup.
Key Events
Rody Soul receives the cover slot for the chapter, and his siblings Roro and Lala both turn up in the story proper.
Three U.A. students outside the usual Team-Up Missions core, Eijiro Kirishima, Mezo Shoji, and Kyoka Jiro, share the chapter with Izuku and Toshinori. The installment introduces no new characters to the spin-off.
