Miro has previously cited Akira as the anime that got him into the scene after watching a copy of the film from his parent’s video store. During an interview with Crunchyroll, the former Rusev revealed Fullmetal Alchemist ‘deepened his love for brotherhood’ and that he believes ‘you shouldn’t give up on an anime after watching 1 episode.’

Much like AEW Superstar Kenny Omega, Miro is a big fan of My Hero Academia, naming All Might as his favorite character. Miro believes Death Note’s Light Yagami to be anime’s greatest villain.
