Quirk: Pop Off
A short and rather perverted boy who, despite his bumbling and cowardly nature, has the makings of a hero inside him all the same.

- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: When Monoma comes in to antagonize Class 1-A, Aizawa puts him in his place.Aizawa: Monoma... You may not have come to cause a physical altercation, but you are clearly trying to harass your fellow students. I'm pretty sure Principal Nedzu warned you about this after you were thrown from the cafeteria last week. I'm pretty sure today qualifies as Strike Two. You know enough about baseball to know what happens when you hit Strike Three, right? And tell me something; If your class had been there, you would have been fine? One of my students died that day, and many more of my students and myself included almost met the same fate. Monoma Neito, you know nothing of what they went through, yet you come here acting like they wanted it, and are using it to prove they are better than the rest of the school? Trust me, Monoma. I'd love nothing more than to expel your ass right here and now but we here at UA believe in giving people second chances. If you waste this, you're out the door, blacklisted, and never to show your face to any other Hero School ever again.

- Papa Wolf: While he knows that he hasn't been the best father to Shoto or any of his children for that matter, Endeavor still shows that deep down, he cares for them. Best shown when he demands that the doctors give his son the blood of a very willing Izuku.
- Skyward Scream: After finding the hospital his wife was in completely destroyed and everyone dead with Rei herself having been mind-raped and kidnapped by Scarecrow, Endeavor screams the Villain's name with all the fury he can muster.

Then, when Akira and Soara spoke out against his and Takeshi's plans, he kicked them out of the house in a fit of rage, an action he now deeply regrets.
