   Entry settings

   The world of My Hero Academia operates under several common anime tropes and narrative rules that shape its storytelling, combat, and character interactions. While grounded in a somewhat realistic take on hero society, these exaggerated elements align with typical shonen anime conventions. Key rules and tropes include:

   1. Exaggerated Expressions and Actions:

   • Emotional reactions are often over-the-top, with characters dramatically shouting, flailing, or showcasing highly expressive facial features to emphasize their feelings. This can range from intense rage to comedic panic.
   • Characters may strike exaggerated poses, especially when delivering heroic speeches or showcasing their powers.

   2. Vocalized Combat and Strategy:

   • Characters frequently narrate their own actions or analyze their opponent's tactics mid-fight, often revealing key strategies or power mechanics in real-time.
   • This narration often heightens tension and allows for combat to last longer then a few punches and attacks.

   3. Durable Bodies and Stylized Injuries:

   • Characters frequently endure extreme physical punishment — such as being thrown through walls or struck by powerful attacks — yet remain capable of fighting without immediately succumbing to their injuries.
   • Injuries are often symbolized with bandages wrapped comically around the head, limbs, or torso as a shorthand for recovery. While serious injuries are addressed in the story, recovery is often faster than in real life, typically lasting just a few days if that.

   4. Visual Exaggeration in Combat:

   • Rapid-Fire Punches: In intense fights, characters may throw punches at such high speed that they appear to have multiple arms, a visual exaggeration to demonstrate overwhelming power.
   • Flying Back from Attacks: Characters are often launched across rooms or into walls by heavy blows yet may still recover quickly without significant injury.

   5. Power Scaling and Emotional Boosts:

   • Characters often experience sudden bursts of strength or power during emotionally charged moments, defying prior limitations to achieve victory.
   • This trope is commonly tied to themes of determination, willpower, and surpassing one’s limits.

   6. Visual Metaphors and Symbolism:

   • Intense moments may include symbolic visuals, such as a character engulfed in flames to represent their rage, or a glowing aura signifying newfound resolve or strength.
   • These visuals may not always reflect literal Quirk abilities but serve to enhance emotional impact.

   7. Comedic Timing and Gags:

   • Despite serious stakes, comedic elements such as exaggerated reactions, awkward pauses, or sudden tonal shifts are frequent, often providing levity in high-stress situations. These tropes combine to create My Hero Academia's distinct tone — blending dramatic storytelling with stylized action, emotional intensity, and moments of humor that are common in shonen anime.

   Quirks — previously known as Meta Abilities when they became widespread — are superhuman abilities that manifest in roughly 80% of the population in the world of My Hero Academia. The name of the phenomenon can differ depending on the language, for example: in English it's referred to as Quirk or Meta Ability previously, but in Japanese they're referred to/written as Kosei (個性, lit. "Individuality") and Inō (異能, lit. "Extraordinary Ability") instead of Quirk and Meta Ability respectfully. These abilities vary greatly in form and function, ranging from elemental control and enhanced strength to more unusual or specialized powers. Quirks are said to be the next stage of evolution in the human race. It is possible, though rudimentary, to diagnose a person as possessing or lacking a Quirk by analyzing the presence or absence of an extra joint in their pinky toe. People with only one joint tend to develop a Quirk, while having two joints usually indicates that the person is Quirkless. The lack of the extra joint makes a person's body more "streamlined", a secondary aspect of human evolution brought about by the emergence of Quirks. A person's Quirk will normally manifest anytime before the age of four, sometimes even straight after birth, other times they don't develop their power until a bit later in life. A Quirk's manifestation tends to happen very suddenly, often to the child's surprise. That said, there can be precursors to a Quirk manifesting as well. While Quirks are unique from person to person, some powers are more common and widespread than others, such as fire or water manipulation and the power to grow to gigantic sizes. On the other hand, Quirks such as spatial warping and regenerative healing are very rare. Furthermore, not all Quirks are singular abilities, as there are some that can have multiple powers. In rarer cases, a single Quirk can take the form of multiple abilities that are completely different from each other, giving the impression of having more than one Quirk. It is even possible, albeit quite rare, for some Quirks to take the form of sentient beings that are connected to their users. Quirks are extensions of a person's bodily functions. As such, they can be trained and worn out. When a person works out their muscles, the muscle fibers are destroyed and new, stronger ones grow back; this same rule applies to Quirks. However, should a Quirk be overused, the user could suffer any of a variety of drawbacks, depending on the nature of the Quirk. These drawbacks are usually simple ailments, such as dry skin or nausea; however, in some cases, the drawback can be much more severe. The body of a Quirk user has natural adaptations to protect itself from any damage the Quirk might do to them without these natural defenses. For example, someone who can breathe fire does not burn their mouth when using their ability. However, there are instances where a Quirk doesn't suit the user's body and the body can't handle it. Such conditions can be bypassed through the use of support equipment. Some people have bodies that are not properly suited for their Quirk. Some Quirks can even be more of a curse than a superpower to their users. Quirks are known to have a direct influence on the user's personality, though it's impact can vary from person-to-person. While a Quirk's influence on personality can cause the user to have trouble fitting in with others, it does seem to allow the user to use their power more naturally and effectively. Another facet of Quirks is that they are affected by the user's emotions, given that they serve as a part of their physiology. This applies to some Quirks more than others. Some Quirks can even be based on certain emotions entirely. Quirk Levels can be measured, though only All Might's have ever been shown, being at 15,000 AP at his peak and reaching a low point of 2,500 AP in the present. Although very rare, it is also possible for animals to possess Quirks. Quirks are inherited genetically through what appears to be Mendelian inheritance. A child will either inherit the father's Quirk, the mother's Quirk, or a completely new Quirk formed by a fusion of the two. Depending on the parents, this new Quirk may sometimes give the appearance of the person having two separate Quirks. While the inheritance of Quirks appears to be recessive, there is a small possibility that two people with Quirks will have a Quirkless child. Naturally, since Quirks are inherited genetically, siblings tend to have the same or very similar Quirks. Quirks in families can also have similar functions but be expressed in different ways, be it reflecting or even be opposite one another. In rare cases, a child may manifest a Quirk that is completely different from anything in their genetic lineage, akin to a mutation. These Quirks are deemed as "variants" and are shown to be treated as especially unnatural. Physical abnormalities caused by Quirks can be passed on to the next generation, even if the Quirk that causes the abnormality is not passed on. Because of this, an individual can possess a physical abnormality that has nothing to do with their actual Quirk. Notably however, all of these abnormalities have had their relation to the user's Quirk called into question, they can be expressed in their Quirks, aid their Quirk in some way or undergo a change depending on the state of their Quirk, such as when it undergoes an awakening or when it suffers from overuse.

   Quirk Factors: Quirk Factors (個性因子, Kosei Inshi, lit. "Individuality Factor") — also known as Plus Alpha Elements (+αな仕組み, Purasu Arufa na Shikumi) 個性, Kosei, lit. "Individuality"— refers to the collective physical and genetic traits that compose a person's Quirk. This includes the primary Quirk power, as well as the specific body parts that allow said primary power to function properly. It is possible to detect, using technology and even certain Quirks, the presence or absence of a Quirk Factor in a person's body. A Quirk Factor also remains after a person's death; even if a part of their body has been severed, it is possible to detect the existence of the Quirk Factor through the severed part. The strength of a Quirk Factor determines its likelihood of manifesting, to the point that a very weak Quirk Factor doesn't even register as an ability. A person's nutrients are important to the strength of their Quirk Factor, so a person who did not recieve necessary nutrients during development can have a minuscule or insignificant Quirk Factor. Under special circumstances, a second Quirk can be added to a person's genetics. However, gaining multiple Quirks often puts immense strain on the inheritor, turning them into mindless living dolls incapable of speaking. It was once thought that a person could only endure two Quirks if they were physically fit, but it turns out that them, too, suffered from the backlash of carrying two Quirks, resulting in a considerably reduced lifespan. Presently, All For One, Gigantomachia and Lady Nagant are the only known people to have been able to wield multiple Quirks without suffering from this Quirk overload. Izuku Midoriya/Deku also has the potential to wield multiple Quirks without suffering issues if he manages to get more than one Quirk. On the other hand, some are able to achieve this feat through heavy modification on their own body and mind. It is potentially possible that a Quirk that can heal the body or provide more energy to the user can supersede the negative effects of holding multiple Quirks, as seen through Gigantomachia's Endurance. There is also a rare chance that the initial Quirk and the bestowed Quirk may merge together, becoming a new singular Quirk, as was the case with One For All following the fusion of Quirk Bestowal and Power Stock. It is also possible for a Quirk Factor to not only be extracted from the body, but also replicated, enhanced, and created. Doctor Kyudai Garaki developed a way to duplicate Quirk Factors, allowing multiple individuals to possess the same Quirk. He had also obtained a large collection of various different Quirk Factors, both through duplication and extraction from the original body, which through a procedure could be forcefully implemented into a body, as shown through the Noumus. Experimentation can also result in a Quirk Factor evolving into something new. Artificial Quirks can be created through the combination of multiple Quirk Factors. Artificial Quirks can also be created based on removing certain aspects of the original Quirk. Certain Quirks, such as Erasure, Erasure Spot, or Neutralization, are capable of temporarily halting the expression of the Quirk Factor, rendering the Quirk unusable for a short period, but not affecting the Quirk Factor otherwise. There are other Quirks, however, that are able to directly damage the Quirk Factor of a target, preventing the Quirk from being activated until the user manages to naturally recover. It's possible that a Quirk Factor can be damaged beyond recovery, causing the Quirk to be permanently suppressed. It has been shown that destroying a person's spirit would also destroy their Quirk.

   Quirk Awakening: After the initial manifestation of a Quirk, it is possible for the user to undergo an "Awakening" (覚醒, Kakusei) later in life. The right emotional catalyst can cause Quirks to evolve (飛躍, Hiyaku) on the spot, often triggered by intense stress, emotional turmoil, or life-threatening situations. This sudden advancement unlocks new abilities or enhances existing ones, significantly increasing the Quirk’s power. Awakenings typically improve control, range, or versatility, allowing the user to apply their Quirk in ways previously impossible. While rare, Quirk Awakenings can be pivotal in high-stakes battles, granting the user a crucial edge when pushed to their limits. In similar cases to Awakenings, it's possible for one to summon an absurd amount of power in a crisis when they are at death's door.

   Quirk Duplication: It is possible through advanced scientific means to copy a person's Quirk and preserve it in a container, allowing the possibility of transferring said ability to another individual. The exact process and requirements involved in Quirk duplication are unknown, but Kyudai has insinuated that it takes a great amount of time just to replicate a single Quirk, let alone the countless ones he had stored away in his secret laboratory. Quirk Duplication is believed to have great potential in benefitting humanity. The process of artificially transferring a Quirk to another person requires a complex surgery, whereas the individual is rendered in stasis while the Quirk is implanted into their body. Since the strain of possessing more than one Quirk can cause the user serious problems, such as heavy drawbacks to the body, accelerated aging, or even inducing a mindless state, a person who undergoes such a process must have a body that is strong and conditioned enough to receive another Quirk, while also being compatible with the respective Quirk Factor. A duplicate Quirk will possess the exact same abilities as the original, though not always to the same extent and quality. So far, Kyudai is the only known person who is capable of duplicating Quirks, as well as transferring them artificially.

   Quirk Types: Quirks are categorized into distinct types based on their nature and functionality. The known Quirk types are:

   • Emitter (発動, Hatsudō)-Type Quirks (also called Operative) — These are the most common type, allowing the user to generate, control, or release substances or energy at will. Emitter Quirks typically require conscious activation — and in some cases even require large amounts of concentration in order for them to remain active — and can be turned on or off. Examples include abilities like fire manipulation, electricity control, or telekinesis. Emitter-type Quirks can also have various ranges. While some users require physical contact to use them, others can have much longer ranges with no distance restrictions. While most Emitter-type Quirk users generally have a handle on their own "emissions", it's also possible for users to hurt themselves from coming into too much contact with their Quirk. In the case of generating substances, making too much of them too fast or for too long can harm the user as they are using reserves from their own body or gradually lose their natural resistance to their own harmful Quirk. While some things produced by Emitter-type Quirks have common properties, some are unique to the user, and thus have special properties. Those who alter the properties of things around them can also widely vary in effects, from molecular alteration to molecular destruction. Some Emitter-type Quirks cause the user's body to take on a temporary alternation. While such Quirks would normally fall into the Transformation class, the difference is that these powers require the user to take in an outside resource in order for the Quirk to activate.
   • Transformation (変形, Henkei)-Type Quirks (also called Composite) — These Quirks alter the user's body in some way, enhancing physical attributes or granting new abilities for a limited period. Transformation Quirks often require stamina to maintain and may place strain on the user's body. Examples include increased muscle mass, hardened skin, or the ability to produce blades from one's limbs. Transformation-type Quirks usually require a conscious effort by the user to activate, though most users can be trained to initiate them reflexively, depending on the conditions required for activation, and practice to initiate their Quirks with greater intent and precision. Transformation-type Quirks usually require a close-range proximity in order to fully utilize them in combat due to them only affecting the user's body. While Transformation-type Quirks are usually quite powerful, their biggest weakness is that their effects are often temporary, and overexertion usually leads to negative repercussions on the user's behalf. Transformation Quirks can also be limited based on the user, how resilient their body is, and the resources they have available to them. Some users condition their body in certain ways so that their Quirks can operate more effectively. Transformation-type Quirks are the only known type of Quirk that can bestow the user attributes they do not normally exhibit by default. Because this type of Quirk combines the activation time and mutant-shape aspects of the other Quirk types, it is also often known as Hybrid or Composite. Transformation-type Quirks generally affect the user exclusively, but some, very rare Transformation-Type Quirks can affect both the user and the target or exclusively the target.
   • Mutant (異形, Igyō)-Type Quirks (also called Heteromorphic/Heteromorph) — Mutant Quirks permanently alter the user's physical appearance, granting them unique traits that are constantly active. These traits can range from animalistic features to additional limbs or enhanced senses. Often times they will bestow prehensile appendages that the user can control or add structures to pre-existing limbs to enhance pre-existing abilities. Mutant-type Quirks even have the ability to channel certain aspects of their user through them in a similar manner to Emitter-type Quirks. Mutant-type Quirks are also the only known type of Quirk which can be passed down through generations without necessarily bestowing the corresponding ability, such as with Fumikage and his bird-like head that is unrelated to his Dark Shadow. As a result of this, while it's uncertain how common Mutant-type Quirks are, it can be safely assumed they are the most commonly inherited. While not necessarily a weakness, Mutant-type Quirks cannot be turned off, and sometimes cause the user inconvenience due to their malformations. Because these Quirks are passively active, they are partially immune to Quirk-disabling effects, such as Eraser Head's Erasure Quirk. Since Mutant Quirks are passively active, they are the most identifiable at a glance. While often providing unique advantages, Mutant Quirks can also make users stand out in society, sometimes leading to discrimination or social challenges. Users with Mutant-type Quirks, most often known as "heteromorphs", also find themselves the most discriminated against, even by other Quirk users, due to their outer appearances. Cults such as the Creature Rejection Clan also exist with the purpose of eradicating these heteromorphs.
   • Accumulation-Type Quirks — A rarer subcategory. Accumulation Quirks are powers that, in order to function properly, require the user to accumulate something over time or through repeated actions, such as power, energy, mass, or a particular resource. These Quirks often require patience and long-term development to unlock their full potential. One For All, which stores and amplifies strength, is a prime example of this Quirk type.

   Although Quirks are officially classified into just one of three main types, they can exhibit traits of multiple categories. This is especially common with Mutant-type Quirks, which often display characteristics of either Emitter or Transformation-types as well. Aside from the three Quirk Types, Quirks can also be categorized into sub-types. A Quirk can fall into a given sub-type regardless of what type it is. In other words, a given sub-type can be designated to Quirks of all three types, so long as the Quirks possess an aspect that fulfills the requirement to be considered as part of that sub-type.

   Impact of Quirks: Quirks have become an integral part of society, influencing everything from education and employment to crime and public safety. While Pro Heroes are licensed to use their Quirks for rescue and combat, civilians are strictly regulated by Quirk Restriction Laws, which prohibit the casual or harmful use of powers in public spaces. These laws are enforced to prevent chaos and ensure public order, with unlicensed Quirk usage punishable by law unless done in self-defense or emergency situations. The presence of Quirks has dramatically reshaped social dynamics, creating a world where heroes are celebrated figures of justice while villains exploit their abilities for personal gain. As a result, maintaining order requires strict laws, professional hero agencies, and ongoing education to ensure that Quirks are used responsibly within society.

   The earliest known instance of a human having superpowers was a prostitute who would later become the mother of the twin boys Zen and Yoichi Shigaraki. Her superpower was Spearlike Bones, but it only manifested as hardened growths on her left arm. She died during childbirth by a riverbank, her life force sucked away by the fetal older twin, without ever truly knowing about her ability. This event is rather unknown to most of the world however. A year after her sons were born, the first superpower ever to be officially recorded was manifested by a newborn baby in Qing Qing City, China with the ability to radiate light from its body. After this phenomenon, many people around the world began to manifest different kinds of superpowers, not just at birth, but also during puberty. These powers became known as "Meta Abilities". While the cause of this phenomenon is unknown, one research group looking into the matter hypothesized that it was caused by the spread of a previously unknown novel disease carried by mice, while others theorized that it was actually a natural evolution of the human race. However, to date, there is no hard evidence to support any of these theories. The aforementioned research group announced to the public that those with Meta Abilities were a subbranch of humanity with new genetic factors. The dawn of this extraordinary era was marred by a breakdown of society caused by the sudden onslaught of criminals, dubbed Villains, empowered by their newfound superpowers, as well as ordinary people being prejudiced against the new minority. It suddenly became impossible to define one's self as a normal person, laws and human rights were thrown into constant debates, and the progress of civilization came to a sudden halt. The announcement by the researchers proved to be reckless and premature, as it caused division among people and chaos to grow. Meta Ability users were labelled as monsters or diseased, and as a result, Anti-Meta groups rose up with the objective of exterminating those with Meta Abilities. The Luminescent Baby took advantage of their fame as the first recorded Quirk user, attempting to rally a following that preached a return to a peaceful and stable society. They had 10 million followers at one point, but was later murdered by Zen, a powerful supervillain who would later be known worldwide as All For One, out of jealousy for all the attention and admiration they were getting. As chaos and unrest ensued due to the outbreak of Meta Abilities, ordinary civilians decided to take matters into their own hands to bring order to society, and thus the first "Heroes" appeared in the form of Vigilantes, beginning the Vigilantes Era. During this time period, All For One became a symbol of unity in society. He used his own Meta Ability to remove Meta Abilities from those who did not want them and give them to those that did. He claimed his actions were meant to help return society to its prior state, when in reality, he was gathering followers who were loyal to him, allowing him to act out his ulterior motives. At some point, a woman gave birth to a son named Chikara Yotsubashi. As Chikara grew up, he faced a lot of discrimination and abuse for having a Meta Ability. His mother supported him, stating that her son's Meta Ability is "just a Quirk of his". Although at the time, her message was scorned and even led to her murder, decades later, "Quirk" became the most common term for such Meta Abilities, and she retroactively became known as The Mother of Quirks. As society adapted to the new status quo, the Police Force moved to prioritize leadership and to maintain the status quo, and as such, decided not to use Quirks as weapons. To fill that void, the profession of crime-fighting Quirk users, Pro Heroes, began to exist, starting in Rhode Island, USA, which caused the Vigilantes to slowly disappear. Authorizing the use of powers that could so easily kill, however, was a greatly criticized decision at first, but eventually became accepted as a legitimate occupation. This became known as the "Advent of the Extraordinary". With the proliferation of Quirks, the government began to regulate their use. A group of Quirk users known as the Meta Liberation Army, led by Chikara under the alias, Destro, had tried to stop the passing of regulations that would restrict Quirk usage, believing that free use of Quirks is a basic human right. They rebelled against the governments of a number of nations for several years before meeting their defeat. Chikara himself was imprisoned and wrote a biographical book, Meta Liberation War, detailing his ideals over liberating Quirks. After getting his writing published, Chikara committed suicide, but his legacy would continue over the years with members and supporters of the Meta Liberation Army operating from the shadows. Currently, roughly 80% of the people who make up the global population possess a Quirk, and that percentage continues to increase. According to Yoichi, the number of individuals without a Quirk has been rapidly declining in population, indicating that now less than 20% of the world's population is Quirkless.

   Vestiges (面影, Omokage) are the echo of the consciousness of a Quirk's wielder. If a person's Quirk is transferred to someone else, the consciousness of the previous wielder will appear in the new user's mind, either as voices in their dreams or as manifestations in a mental mindscape. This phenomenon is compared to cases of people whose personalities and tastes changed after an organ transplant. If further transferred to yet another new user, then that new user will experience the consciousnesses of all of the previous users, though these consciousnesses will disappear if the new user loses the transferred Quirk. While not much is known about these consciousnesses and what they do, they are seen to hold the same personality and memories of their original users up until they are transferred to someone else. It is shown that these Vestiges (who have been transferred to other hosts) can potentially act or override the new host body they reside in. Vestiges can also be transferred via other ways, such as when large amounts of blood is being transfused from one person to another.

   In an effort to preserve order in the superhuman society, there are several laws and procedures in place to ensure the conscientious use of Quirks. Public display of Quirks is against the law, as is using them with the intention to harm other people, except in cases of self-defense, such as when one is under attack or preventing someone else from being attacked. Since the vast amount of different Quirks can range from harmless to lethal, it is impossible to account for every single Quirk in the law books, leading to the simple strict banning of using one's Quirk to commit bodily harm. Despite this, the notion of Quirks not being used in public is sometimes ignored or overlooked, being compared to an old rule of not riding bicycles on sidewalks, although doing so would still be an infraction of the law. Certain Quirks also have more regulations than others to prevent their abuse. Citizens are required to have their Quirks registered with the government. It is possible for the details of a person's Quirk registration to be changed, as it is quite common for people to discover new things about their Quirk that they were previously unaware of. However, major and frequent changes are usually not allowed. It is unknown whether Quirks are generally named by the government, the Quirk user themselves, or their parents and guardians, but it appears to be a mixture depending on the circumstances. However, Quirk names can also be changed if necessary. During elementary school, children receive Quirk counseling in order to learn how to use their powers responsibly and to help support their growth, since a young child's Quirk can have a large effect on their self-esteem. Quirk counseling can also be intended to correct and reform any "deviant" behavior that is caused by one's Quirk. Despite this, Quirk counselling is not a cure-all and is not always met with success. A major flaw with Quirk counselling is how it tries to forcibly correct any abnormalities present in children's Quirks, pressuring them to get rid of their differences rather than accepting them. Aspiring Pro Heroes undergo special education during their high school careers and receive licenses that give them the authority to use their Quirks freely. Only licensed Pro Heroes or Heroes in training with Provisional Hero Licenses are allowed to use their Quirks for things such as rescuing people or to commit bodily harm by attacking Villains. Using one's Quirk to do such things while unlicensed is illegal and punishable by law, sometimes through hefty fines. In other cases, illegal usage of Quirks can be labelled as acts of vigilantism or even villainy and can be met with dire consequences. When it comes to Heroes, it is also possible for the specifics of their Quirks to be kept classified by their nation's government. An example of this is All Might, whose Quirk was kept secret to protect the truth of One For All. This led many people to assume it was simply a super strength or invulnerability Quirk, while many others theorized endlessly as to what his Quirk could actually be. A similar notion applied to America's No. 1 Hero, Star and Stripe, and her New Order Quirk, which was kept strictly confidential under the U.S. government, although civilians gained a rough idea of what it was from seeing her in action in the field, with her being able to apply a rule of her choosing to anything she touched and called out the name of. Additionally, it is also possible for regular workers to use their Quirks provided they have the proper permissions and licensing. Furthermore, electricity-based Quirks are said to be highly valued in the job market, which is why Heroes with electric Quirks are quite rare. A person's Quirk can even play a big role in their employability status, as seen with Recovery Girl, a Pro Hero who also works as a nurse at U.A. High School. Her Heal Quirk is exceedingly rare and valuable, causing her to journey to different hospitals around Japan to provide healing services.

   The theory of the Quirk Singularity (個性特異点, Kosei Tokuiten, lit. "Individuality Singularity") is a popular line of thinking that suggests that Quirks will continue to mix together and deepen, growing in both strength and complexity with every new generation. Eventually, Quirks will develop to a point where no one will be able to control them anymore. This idea was first theorized by Kyudai, who started to see early signs of this phenomenon among the fourth generation of Quirk users. However, with the exception of All For One, no one believed his theory, and he was ostracized from society as a result. In the current era, the theory is viewed as fringe thinking, and is primarily followed by some cultists.

   Quirk Marriage (個性婚, Kosei Kon, lit. "Individuality Marriage") is the practice of two people marrying based on their Quirks. The idea is for the child of the couple to gain a powerful Quirk that combines the parents' Quirks. Powerful combinations, while possible, are not fully guaranteed, however, even from strong parents. Due to the concept of creating children solely for the sake of experimenting with powers, Quirk Marriages were quickly deemed as unethical by society. Nowadays, they are regarded as a taboo and outdated practice.

   Heroes (ヒーロー, Hīrō) are individuals who are licensed to use their Quirks to protect civilians from Villains, natural disasters, and/or any other kind of harm. Those who take heroism as a profession are referred to as Pro Heroes (プロヒーロー, Puro Hīrō). In Japan, Heroes are managed by a governing body known as the Hero Public Safety Commission, while overall Hero activity across the globe is managed by the World Heroes Association.

   Origin/History: Heroes started appearing when the Quirk phenomenon occurred and the general populace acquired superpowers. The dawn of this extraordinary era was plagued by a breakdown of society, caused by the sudden onslaught of criminals empowered by their newfound abilities, and ordinary people being prejudiced against the "Meta Ability" users. As society adapted to the new status quo, the Police Force moved to prioritize leadership and to maintain the status quo, and as such, decided not to use Meta Abilities as weapons. As chaos and unrest ensued due to the outbreak of these "Quirks", ordinary civilians with their own Quirks decided to take matters into their own hands to bring order to society, and thus the first "Heroes" appeared. These original Heroes to appear during this period were Vigilantes, as the Pro Hero system had not yet been implemented, beginning the "Vigilante era". Later on, the profession of crime-fighting Quirk users separate from the police and military, Pro Heroes, began to exist. The Pro Hero System was first put into place in Rhode Island in America under the "Rhode Island New State Statute". 189 Vigilantes were affected by this statute, with only seven being accepted as official Heroes. Now with the opportunity to become licensed Heroes and use their Quirks to fight crime legally, the number of unlicensed Vigilantes slowly began to decrease, with almost none left today. The authorization of the use of powers that could so easily kill was greatly criticized at first. But over time, it came to garner public support due to the fact that the first people to work professionally as Heroes acted morally and upheld the law.

   Hero Agencies: Heroes generally work in groups known as Hero Agencies. The standard is one very strong Pro Hero in charge, and a number of weaker Heroes who serve as Sidekicks under the command of the primary Hero. An agency operates out of an office building which serves as their base of operations. Some Pro Heroes only have a small Hero Office, but some Heroes, mainly the more prestigious ones, operate out of massive skyscrapers. The number of Sidekicks at an agency can vary; some Heroes have only a couple of Sidekicks, while others have dozens, and some opt to work alone. Sidekicks make an effort to get hired by more prestigious Pro Heroes, whether out of admiration or to gain popularity and experience in order to eventually become full-fledged Pro Heroes themselves and open their own agencies. Though, most Sidekicks usually stay at their rank and don't continue on to become Pros. There are some exceptions to this standard, however, such as Sir Nighteye, who have gone on to start their own Hero Agencies with their own Sidekicks working under them.

   Duties: According to Endeavor, Heroes have three basic duties: rescue, evacuation, and battle. Some Hero Agencies choose to specialize in only one of these fields, primarily rescue or battle. However, some Agencies do all three. According to Gunhead, when a crisis occurs, the police will contact various Hero Agencies that are in the same area as the crisis. Once the chaos is settled, the Heroes will file a report about the work they did, saving people, capturing criminals, etc., and a special agency will review their work and determine how much they should be paid. While out on patrol, the agency's owner Hero will lead the patrol themselves. Sometimes they will go out on their own, other times they will have a Sidekick or two with them for backup. According to Best Jeanist, these patrols are meant to dissuade Villains from committing crimes and to show civilians that the Heroes are there to protect them.

   Secondary Careers: Pro Heroes are allowed to have secondary careers. Some Heroes use their second job as a means to increase their fame, Uwabami for example works as a product cover girl. For other Heroes, their second job can be more of a passion project, such as Present Mic having his own radio show. Additionally, a Pro Hero's second job can also be an extension of their services provided to the people in society, such as Fourth Kind working as a civil servant and performing community service by cleaning up a park, as well as Lunch Rush being a chef who runs a cafeteria at U.A. High School, and who also provided food to victims hiding from a natural disaster. Most notably, it is also possible for Heroes to become teachers who can help train and raise the next generation of aspiring Heroes at Hero Schools, and are also capable of teaching ordinary school subjects. Prominent examples here include many of the teachers at U.A. High School, as well as Ms. Joke who teaches at Ketsubutsu Academy High School. According to Uwabami, Heroes possessing side jobs was met with a lot of controversy when Pro Heroes were first established, although it was eventually accepted due to their popularity and public demand.

   Public Reputation: Heroes are often viewed with high admiration from the public, with civilians often watching them battle Villains and cheering them on. As seen with All Might, Hawks and Uwabami, Heroes usually have many fans and fanbases that sometimes gather around them to get autographs and selfies while they're patrolling. Heroes are typically viewed in a celebrity-like fashion due to their popularity and receive large public appeal, this includes merchandise being made after them, such as toys, posters, action figures, etc. Many children also deeply admire Heroes and dream to become one themselves when they get their Quirk and grow up. It has also been shown that children with exceptionally powerful and flashy Quirks, as Katsuki Bakugou, and a more extreme example, like Touya and Shouto Todoroki, are often encouraged and praised as future Heroes at a young age, which can lead to them being excessively favored. Generally, Heroes are more popular based on their rankings, with higher ranking Heroes receiving more popularity and public appeal, although it isn't uncommon for rookie Heroes to gain such popularity as well, as is the case with Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady. It is also possible for Sidekicks to garner popularity and fame, such as Sir Nighteye and Burnin. Heroes can appear on the news during talk shows or interviews, and the media is often eager to newscast popular Heroes. Some Heroes, such as All Might, Midnight and Mt. Lady enjoy receiving the attention and approval, although this isn't always the norm as some Heroes aren't bothered by things such as fans or news approval, while other Heroes like Eraser Head choose to avoid the media entirely. Such a person is known as an "Underground Hero". Despite their mass popularity and approval, there are people who dislike or disapprove of Heroes for varying reasons. There are some tragic cases, such as Kouta Izumi who lost both of his Hero parents when he was 3 years old and came to detest the society of Heroes and Villains altogether as a result. Similarly, Kotaro Shimura was put into foster care by his Hero mother when he was a child, this led to him growing up to despise her and Heroes entirely, believing that his mother, Nana Shimura, chose her Hero career over him, when in reality she wanted to keep him safe following the death of her husband. At the same time, many hate Hero society for its flaws, as they cause some people, especially those with mutant appearances or undesirable Quirks, to be ostracized. Spinner, Chimera, and Mezou Shouji suffered from strong discrimination and abuse simply because of their physical appearances, leading the first two to revolt against society and become Villains. As for Mezou, this caused him to have several scars on his mouth, forcing him to wear a mask to hide his scars in order to avoid being mistaken for a revanchist. In addition to them, Hitoshi Shinsou was also considered a potential Villain even during middle school, simply because of how convenient his Brainwashing Quirk would be for him to commit crimes. As pointed out by Tomura Shigaraki, people have become dependent on Heroes protecting them, particularly due to All Might having been seen as the "Symbol of Peace", making them so ignorant to the point where they developed a distorted belief that Heroes were perfect saviors, leading them to believe that they would always show up on the scene and solve any problem quickly. Due to this ignorance, many people end up being rejected or overlooked by society and Heroes, which in turn causes them to become Villains. Tomura himself is a good example of this; when he lost his family as a child and took to wandering the streets alone, no one even bothered to try and help him as they believed that a Hero would appear and come to his aid at some point. This inaction is ultimately what led to him being found by All For One and becoming a Villain. Heroes also aren't immune to bad publicity or negative reception by the general public, so they can't just do whatever they want without repercussion from the public or the media. Some Heroes can have more sleazy reputations than others, especially when it comes to how they interact with other people, particularly their fans. Captain Celebrity has received much controversy in America due to his womanizing nature, despite being a married man, and this ended up with several lawsuits being pitted against him by the women he flirted with. Some Villains he took down even turned around and sued him as though he was in the wrong, and these issues became so bad that he was forced to leave his home country and go to Japan in an effort to rebuild his career there.

   Heroics Education: In order for a person to become a licensed Pro Hero, they must undergo an education and training program in the subject of heroism. These training programs are integrated within many high schools in Japan and are collectively known as a Hero course. Subsequently, high schools that include Hero courses are known as Hero Schools. The Hero course includes fundamental training in becoming a Pro Hero, including rescue training and combat training where Quirk use is fully permitted, and even training for dealing with the media. Schools with Hero courses also provide their students with their own costumes and support gear, which are tailored to suit their design choices and Quirk functions. Some Hero schools also incorporate different traditions and customs than others, such as U.A. High School having the power to freely expel and re-enrol students, or Shiketsu High School students wearing their commissar caps as part of their costumes. Students are trained so they can eventually earn their Hero licenses and become fully fledged Pro Heroes themselves, although some start out as Sidekicks for existing Pro Heroes before starting their own independent Hero career. While attending a Hero course during high school is the most common way of becoming a Pro Hero, it should be noted that there are other ways to attain a license. After using his Quirk to save many innocent bystanders from a high speed car crash, Hawks was scouted by the Hero Public Safety Commission and given a private education when he was a child, leading to him becoming the commission's Pro Hero agent. They did the same with his predecessor, Lady Nagant, who was sought out when she was in middle school and went on to become their assassin.

   Known Hero Schools:

   • U.A. High School: A Hero school located in Musutafu, Japan that boasts the best heroics education in the country. It trained many of the country's top Pro Heroes, including All Might, Endeavor, Best Jeanist, and Edgeshot, and is the dream school of many Hero hopefuls.
   • Isami Academy High School: A Hero school located near U.A. High. The school once held a visitation program where some of their students visited U.A. and took part in a training exercise.
   • Shiketsu High School: A Hero school located in Western Japan that is reputed as one of the few schools that can compete with U.A. High. The school holds a strong importance in maintaining dignity and has more old-fashioned customs such as teachers selecting representatives and forbidding relationships among the students.
   • Ketsubutsu Academy High School: A Hero school that has a fierce rivalry with U.A. High School, often banding together with other examinees to defeat them in the Provisional License Exam during what is known as the "Crushing of U.A."
   • Seijin High School: One of the Hero schools that took part in the Provisional License Exam, where a group of their students adorned costumes resembling ninja outfits.
   • Seiai Academy: One of the Hero schools that took part in the Provisional License Exam, where an all-female group of their students were led by Saiko Intelli.
   • Terakoya: A private Hero school located on Oku Island. Unlike all the others, Terakoya is an elementary school where the young students are taught how to control their Quirks and become Heroes.
   • Eishu High School: A Hero school that competed in the National Hero Course Ski Jump Tourney, in which they came third place behind Shiketsu and U.A. respectively.

   Internships: Hero students have the opportunity work as interns under licensed Pro Heroes. This allows the students to gain special training that their normal teachers would most often be unable to provide. There are two types of internships. The first type is the Hero Agency Internships; this involves a student merely shadowing a Pro Hero, listening to their advice and watching them in action for an entire week. Since the Students are unlicensed, they can't legally participate in Hero work. The second type is the Hero Work-Study; this comes after a student has passed the Provisional Hero License Exam and has earned their Provisional Hero License. Instead of being treated like guests at the agency, the students are treated like real Sidekicks, and are allowed to participate in relief efforts during emergency situations. This allows them to gain real experience and can help them get noticed by other Pro Heroes who might want to hire them as full time Sidekicks after they graduate. In order to work at an Internship or Work-Study, the Hero in charge of the agency must approve of the student working there, sometimes the student must have certain qualifications that goes beyond the proficiency of their Quirk. In some cases, such as the aftermath of the U.A. Sports Festival, Heroes actually send recruitment requests to the students whom they wish to have work under them. Other times, a student simply undergoes an ordinary job interview in order to become an intern. In this case, it would help to have the introduction and recommendation of someone who already works there, even if it's another intern.

   Hero Names: A Hero Name is a code name a Pro Hero chooses to identify themselves with. A Hero-in-training may choose a temporary Hero Name in high school. While these high school names are not necessarily meant to be their permanent alias, Pro Heroes are often known by the name they first pick, as it is what they'll come to be known as. Hero Names are considered very important to a professional Hero career, as they can bring a person closer to the image they may want to cement, and are also able to reflect their true character. Heroes can often use names that describe their Quirks, or are at least based on their Quirks, for example: Keigo Takami has a pair of bird-like wings on his back, so he uses the name, "Hawks". A Hero Name does not necessarily have to be original. Some people may choose to use the same name, or a very similar name, as an already existing and well-known Hero that is no longer active. By doing so, they have the opportunity to keep the legacy of their idol alive. However, this comes with the responsibility and pressure of living up to the level of greatness displayed by the Hero who originally used the name. It is also possible for Heroes to simply be known as their own given or family name if they so wish. Furthermore, students who do not decide on a Hero Name or are yet to choose one are simply called by their surnames. Heroes can also go by separate aliases in different countries and regions, as seen with O'Clock, a Japanese Hero, who was also known as "Hyper Quadfist" in China. Hero and Villain Names are revealed to have originated from a past theory where people came up with aliases for anonymous enemies, or used them to hide their own true identities. Eventually, they went all in with code names adapted straight from comic books, leading to the naming systems that are used today.

   Titles: Many Pro Heroes possess a title along with their Hero Name. Like a Hero Name, the Heroes title describes the Hero and what they can do.

   Costumes: A Pro Hero will wear a distinguishing Costume that helps the public to recognize them and distinguish them from other Heroes. Costumes come in a wide variety, from bodysuits, to spacesuits, to armor, depending on the abilities and style preferences of the wearer. Costumes are generally tailored specifically to the Hero their made for, in order to amplify their abilities and weaken their drawbacks. Costumes tend to come with support gear that can augment the wears skills and powers. A Costume can also limit or remove the downsides of the wearers Quirk. Every once in a while, a Hero might decide to change some of the details of their costume and/or add new support items. This can happen if a Hero wishes to try a new fighting style, if they discover something new about their Quirk, or if they simply wish to try something new. The costumes base design will usually stay the same though. Occasionally, a Hero might temporarily wear an alternate Costume for varying reasons. An example of this is a Winter Costume, which can help the wearer stay warm during colder months. Support companies and genius scientists are the masterminds behind creating Costumes for Heroes. There are even school classes that specifically teach students about the creation and maintenance of support gear, such as the Support Course at U.A. High School.

   Teams: Most Heroes work alone, not counting their Sidekicks, but occasionally they will team up and work together with other Heroes in the field on various missions. These team ups usually happen on the spot while the Heroes are responding to a crisis, as such, they don't really get to choose who they work together with and have to adapt to their new partners abilities. Alternatively, for the larger operations, Heroes are called in and teamed up ahead of time, allowing them to select certain individuals to work together with and come up with strategies. Heroes don't only team up for their combat abilities, it can also be done for practical reasons. In some cases, Heroes form a permanent team, even having multiple owner Heroes at a single agency as opposed to the usual one owner Hero. This is usually done if the agency is geared toward a specific type of crisis relief and/or if the Heroes have Quirks that compliment and help each other. Aside from the obvious benefits of working together with other Heroes, such as strength in numbers and compensating for each other's weaknesses, a Hero team is able to achieve things that a singular Hero would normally be unable to. For example, they can piggyback on each other's popularity, garnering attention from the public and elevating their collective Hero ranking.

   Known Hero Teams:

   • Wild, Wild Pussycats.
   • Water Hose.
   • The Lurkers
   • Buster Union.
   • Oki Mariner Crew.
   • Team Idaten.

   A Hero License is a certification that allows Pro Heroes to use their Quirks freely. The concept of the Hero License system was first developed and established in Rhode Island in the USA, around the time that Quirks first appeared. It was done in hopes of restoring order to society, which had descended into chaos following the phenomenon of people being born with superpowers. In order to obtain a Hero License, one must complete all three years of heroics education in high school. It is currently unknown if there is an actual test that one is required to pass in order to receive their License. The act of using ones Quirk in public without a license is illegal, even if they use it to save lives or stop criminals. Quirks are seen as too dangerous for untrained civilians without a license to use, as there is a significant risk of unintentionally hurting someone or damaging property. There are exceptions to the rule that allow unlicensed individuals to use their Quirks; during Izuku's internship with Gran Torino, the elder Hero decided to take Izuku out to fight real low level bad guys, so he would not develop bad habits from only fighting against Gran Torino's Quirk. Though not explicitly stated, this implies that Pro Heroes can grant the temporary privilege of Quirk use to their protégés. The Hero Public Safety Commission can also grant this privilege during very important times or crisis. Other than that, it is not illegal for a civilian to use their Quirk in public if it is for exceptional circumstances, such as self-defence.

    The Japanese Hero Billboard Charts is a biannual event where all Heroes and Hero Teams in Japan are ranked by. The rating is determined by various factors, including a Hero's level of strength, number of resolved incidents, contributions to society, and public approval. An event is held to introduce the top 10 Heroes to the public. The higher a Hero ranks on the charts, the higher their wages and the greater their prestige, allowing them to build bigger agencies and spread their influence. The top 10 Heroes in particular are known all across the country. It is these rankings and the chance to climb higher that serves as motivation for many Pro Heroes and numerous Hero students desire to one day hold the title of No. 1, or at least work as a Sidekick for one of the top 10. The ratings presented at the event are the overall rankings and the individual factors that determine them may contrast the rankings. For example, in terms of popularity alone, Best Jeanist ranks first, Hawks ranks second, Edgeshot ranks third, and Endeavor ranks fourth.

    Villains (敵, Viran, lit. "Opponent") are people who use their Quirks to commit crimes, cause destruction, and potentially put innocent lives at stake. There are many different types of Villains in the world, including thieves, murderers, drug dealers, hate groups, and terrorists. According to Naomasa Tsukauchi, the crime rate committed by Villains was quite low as a result of being pressurized by the huge amount of Heroes, especially with All Might's presence in Japan.

    Origin/History: Before the Quirk phenomenon occurred, Villains only existed in fiction, such as the Demon Lord from the Captain Hero comic series. When Quirks seemingly made reality resemble these superpower-filled comics, the public took a second look at the concept of Villains, especially when some people began using their new gifts to benefit themselves instead of helping others. Some, like Yoichi Shigaraki, thought comics' idealist concepts could do good, including using the term "Villain" on real offenders. Meanwhile, others like All For One scoffed at the notion of Villains, saying the real-world wasn't so simple. Early on, who counted as a "Hero" and "Villain" had yet to be defined, blurring the line between the two. The most gray area of debate was where Vigilantes fit on the spectrum. At first, the countries of Earth were unprepared for this new type of criminal and were overrun. Even organized crime collapsed, with traditional organizations like the yakuza nearly going extinct. During this chaotic era, several notorious Villains arose, who would be remembered for decades, including: All For One, the Peerless Thief, and Destro. One major source of Villains in this era was the conflict between Quirk users, known back then as metahumans, and anti-Quirk factions, such as the Meta Liberation Army and the Creature Rejection Clan. Meanwhile, other Villains, like All For One, would profiteer from both sides. As the births of Quirk-users increased, acceptance rose with it, eventually making the conflict lose its prominence. With the efforts of Vigilantes, the world finally stabilized and hero society emerged from the ashes. An official definition was created for Villains, which, though to a lesser degree, included Vigilantes. The Pro Hero profession was created to combat Villains and the rate of crime became low in the modern day. Villains were forced to adapt to this regulated world. Some accepted their careers were likely short-lived and prioritized the thrill over secrecy, committing crimes in broad daylight. Meanwhile, others retreated to the shadows, waiting and planning for the time to rise again. For example, the Meta Liberation Army prepared Destro's descendant as his successor and members took over influential, yet legal professions. All Might alone sewed fear into the hearts of Villains, to the point where Villains like Number 6 had to be purposely discreet so as to not get on All Might's radar. Civilians felt so well protected, active crimes were watched like spectator sports. Even casual and snide remarks would be made at low-rate Villains. While hero society succeeds in stopping physical crimes, its weakness is in addressing their social roots. Discrimination against people's abilities remained despite Quirk users becoming the majority, especially against heteromorphs. Society became obsessed with general heroism and individuals could be thrown to the wayside if they didn't fit that mold. Civil unrest remained brewing despite most physical rebellions being quashed.

    The term "Villain": The Villain label has two distinctive definitions, the strict legal term and the broader cultural one. On the legal side, it is a category of criminals that use their Quirks to commit crimes. This definition includes a wide range of offenders, from petty thieves to serial killers. While the public mostly associate Villains with violent crime, villainous acts can be involved in white-collar crime. According to Daikaku Miyagi, the Villain designation and registry is usually reserved for repeat offenders, although exceptions exist when it comes to the scale of the crime committed. If the scale of the crime is severe enough and the individual is a minor, they won't be considered one under the eyes of the law, showing that even young Villains are treated hashly in the justice system. Occasionally, an offender can be mistakenly labelled a Villain, whether by themselves or the authorities. However, an investigation will clear them of that accusation. It's a debate amongst Heroes on what the minimum requirement to be a Villain is and whether intent matters. An example is the Instant Villains: bystanders unwillingly injected with Trigger and forced to go on violent rampages. Endeavor believes any Quirk user who endangers the public is a Villain and that it's up to the Police Force to decide whether pressing charges is appropriate. Meanwhile, All Might counters that Heroes should assess their opponent's intentions and attempt to save them if they're a confused civilian. Eraser Head however, notes that there are guidelines set in place for more morally ambiguous cases; people who are suspected of villainy should be subdued for further questioning and have their identities confirmed. There is a ranking system to differentiate Villains' threat levels, the lowest being F and the highest being SS. There are no known cases of Quirkless Villains, and Heroes don't have the jurisdiction to go after non-Quirk criminals, needing to refer them onto the police.[15] Although there is an expectation for extreme cases, allowing Heroes to use their Quirks to incarcerate non-Quirk criminals, albeit with restraint. An offender remains a Villain until they've fully served their sentence or the statute of limitations runs out for their offence. Once either of these two things happen, they're considered an "ex-Villain", similar to an ex-con. On the other hand, the very worst Villains, like the inmates on the lowest level of Tartarus, can be imprisoned for life and will be considered Villains as long as they live. Due to the definition of Villains being decided by a select group of officials, the term can be susceptible to bias and hypocrisy. While police and Heroes stick to a strict definition of Villains, the public use the term more loosely and casually. Villains are deeply ingrained into Japan's culture, to the point that young children frequently speak about them. In everyday usage, "Villain" can be a general insult for anything that's socially disapproved of. The insult can be used with different levels of seriousness, ranging from a petty joke to a genuine accusation. For example, people can be stereotyped as potential Villains based on their appearances or because of their Quirk type. While there's the comical ranking of "Heroes That Look Like Villains", this line of thinking has led to extreme cases of innocent people with Mutant-type Quirks being attacked. There are other things that are not actually illegal that can cause innocent people to be insulted as villainous. This can include Quirks with high villainous potential or unruly behavior. Various people don't even like to use the term Villain. For Example: All For One accuses the term of being too emotionally charged and simplistic, citing "Quirk criminal" as a better alternative.

    Becoming a Villain: Like other types of criminals, people commit illegal acts for countless reasons. It can be motived by reasoning anywhere from economical, political, social, or personal, though villains can add a unique angle to their motives via the usage of their Quirks. For some people, the path to becoming a Villain starts with some kind of tragedy that leaves them with no other choice. Even worse, some people can fall victim to the Quirk-boosting drug Trigger, which can make them lose their sense of reason and cause them to violently rampage and attack everything around them as their Quirks go berserk. These unwilling Villains are labeled as Instant Villains. Other Villains are driven by a goal that they are passionate about, one they would not be able to achieve by other means. Examples include Stain wanting to purge the world of fake Heroes, or Overhaul wanting to bring the Yakuza back to its former glory. At the same time, some Villains try to set themselves apart from others by trying to make their actions come off as "honorable". It's also possible for people with Mutant-type Quirks, otherwise known as heteromorphs, to become Villains due to the discrimination they receive based on their appearances. As revealed by Skeptic, many heteromorphs fall into villainy due to facing racism and inequality, which leads them to despise both society and Heroes as a result. Examples of this include Spinner and Chimera, where the former became a hikikomori due to receiving racism for his lizard-like appearance, and the latter was labelled as a monster for his chimeric traits. At the same time, there are also hate groups that target and commit crimes against heteromorphs, such as the Creature Rejection Clan and its various factions. It is even possible for some people to end up becoming Villains solely due to the Quirk they were born with. In other cases, a Quirk can even affect one's personality to the extent where they would become Villains, such as Himiko Toga, whose Quirk requires blood, leading her to develop an interest in blood and gore that she was forced to suppress from a young age. This eventually caused her to snap under her Quirk's influence, attacking a fellow student who she saw bloodied and bruised from a fight and then promptly running away and becoming a serial killer involved in bloodletting murders. Furthermore, though it is quite uncommon, it is even possible for Pro Heroes to be or become Villains, some having defected to the dark side, or others using their hero position as a cover. In some instances, the "Villain" is actually a double agent working to take down the real Villains. All these reasons aside, it is still possible for people to become Villains solely for their own self-interests. Other Villains are simply criminals or terrorists who are only out for profit. Some people may also serve Villain organizations on an on and off basis, sort of like a hobby or part-time activity.

    Villain Names: Like Heroes, Villains often choose to go by a code name. A Villain name helps a Villain cement the image they wish to represent, and it shows their true character. Some Villains choose names that describe their Quirks, or are at least based on their Quirks. A Villain name does not necessarily have to be original. Some people may choose to use the same name, or a very similar name, as an already existing and well-known Villain that is no longer active. By doing so, they have the opportunity to keep the legacy of said Villain alive. Not all Villains use a code name, however. Some will just go by their actual name, like Himiko Toga. She even rejected the idea of a Villain name when the other League members suggested ones, deciding to stick with her own name to represent her desire to live her life as herself. Villain and Hero names originated from a past theory where people came up with aliases for anonymous enemies, or used them to hide their own true identities. Eventually, they went all in with code names adapted straight from comic books, leading to the naming systems that are used today.

    Costumes: Some Villains wear a costume while they are out committing crimes. These costumes disguise their identities, making it harder for law enforcement personnel to identify them. Villains can also wear a costume as a means to get a message across, such as Spinner dressing like Stain, to represent the ideology of his idol and inspiration. While some Villain costumes are purely cosmetic, Villains are also known to be equipped with illegal Quirk support gear acquired through the black market via brokers. This illegal gear is generally considered to be less reliable and durable than that made by professional support companies for Heroes. Still, equipment used by Villains are shown to work in conjunction with their Quirks. Villains are also known to make use of various drugs from the black market.

    Villain Groups: While some Villains choose to work alone, others prefer to commit crimes as a team or organization, usually with one member as the leader of the group. Some Villains work in teams of two, such as Gentle Criminal and La Brava. Other Villain organizations have dozens of members, or even thousands, such as the Meta Liberation Army. These larger Villain groups will often have several of its stronger members as higher-ups who lead the lower-ranked members under the command of the supreme leader.

    Containment: Due to the destructive potential of superpowers, Quirk users can be difficult to contain. Heroes don't have jurisdiction to arrest Villains and they need to wait for the police to do so. The authorities have technology that seemingly suppresses someone's Quirk, though it is unknown how this is achieved and if it is temporary. For most Villains, they are escorted with heavy handcuffs and metal vests. Exceptions can be made, such as the Sludge Villain, who was transported in plastic bags due to his muddy body being in separate puddles. There are specialized cuffs for emitters who use their hands, which is a metal block that encases their hands inside. This technology also exists on the black market and villains can access it through that. When the strongest Villains are arrested, like All For One and Muscular, they are placed inside iron maidens. Unlike their medieval counterparts, they are sleek chambers designed to keep someone in isolation. Not all police stations have the same capacity to imprison certain Villains. Once arrested, a Villain will be driven to a station, prison, or hospital depending on the circumstances. Most Villains are sent to one of the six major prisons in Japan. Tartarus has the most security for the worst criminals or dangerous Quirk-users. Inmates are placed into solitary confinement with wall-mounted guns that will go off at the slightest defiance. Some inmates are secured into chairs and their vitals are monitored for any signs of Quirk activation. Tartarus is the most extreme of the six prisons and has been accused of human rights violations. When a Villain goes to hospital, they are still placed under high security. When a Villain goes to hospital, they are still placed under high security, but unlike in Tartatus, they are allowed to be given news about the outside world and there are no guns mounted on the walls.

    Vigilantes (自警団, Vijirante) are people who voluntarily carry out duties usually done by Pro Heroes without paying attention to the law. Due to the Hero regulations and Quirk restriction laws, people are not allowed to perform heroic duties on their own; thus, vigilantism is illegal.

    Origin/History: The origins of Heroes can be traced back to Vigilantes. When Quirks started to manifest, there was no organization controlling the people who used their Quirks to help others and take down the bad guys. Since these individuals were operating outside of the control of the government and law enforcement, they were declared Vigilantes. When the Pro Hero system was first put into place in Rhode Island, U.S.A. under the "Rhode Island New State Statute", one hundred and eighty-nine Vigilantes were affected by this statute, with only seven being accepted as official Pro Heroes while the others were declared villains for illegal Quirk use. Nowadays, most of the Vigilantes have vanished. The Hero Public Safety Commission originally secretly enlisted Vigilantes to do their dirty work, like disposing of corrupt Pro Heroes, until they became too organized for the Vigilantes to properly deal with, so the Commission abandoned that idea and instead focused on recruiting Pros to handle this job.

    Becoming a Vigilante: In the current age, there is not much reason to become a Vigilante when one could simply apply for a high school education in Heroics or take a course as an adult to get their Hero License and become a professional Hero the legal way. Nonetheless, it does happen, despite vigilantism being illegal. In some cases, it is a matter of principle, such as someone being disillusioned with hero society and seeking to do justice in their own way. Other times, it can be a means to an end. Finally, sometimes a person can end up a Vigilante by a twist of fate, such as missing out a chance to applying to a hero academy and becoming a vigilante out of a desire to do good.

    Vigilante Debate: While the act of vigilantism is inherently illegal, the Vigilantes themselves represent a gray line in the eyes of the law. There are times when a Hero is unavailable to stop the trouble, and the Vigilantes' actions can result in lives being saved, with the two forces even teaming up when the situation calls for it. Because of this, a debate has persisted amongst those representing law enforcement on how lenient to be on a Vigilante. Pro Heroes, including Eraser Head, Midnight, and Ingenium (Tensei Iida), allowed the Naruhata Vigilantes to remain active due to their actions primarily being in self-defense, as well as their compliance in seeking the Pro Heroes' assistance regarding any major trouble. Although, Eraser Head had stated that if a situation ever got too dangerous, or if the Vigilantes started to abuse their Quirks, they would intervene. Other Heroes, such as Endeavor, do not grant such leniency towards Vigilantes. Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi is on the side of wanting to follow the law by the book, and sees the Vigilantes' actions as going against it, frequently attempting to discover the source and to take down the Naruhata Vigilantes, only reluctantly letting it slide in dire circumstances. His senior, Eizou Tanuma, believes they are a necessary evil that, if cooperated with, could be best utilized to track down underground organizations that not even traditional law enforcement can reach. The argument was also brought up by Shouto after the Hosu Incident, stating that Native would've been killed by Stain had he, Tenya, and Izuku not interfered. The U.A. High School students would have faced severe punishment for using their Quirks without the proper authority or provisional Hero Licenses, as would their Hero supervisors for not stopping them. However, given that there were only a few eyewitnesses at the scene, the police agreed to pardon their vigilantism on the condition that the truth of the incident be covered up by letting Endeavor take the credit for defeating Stain. This was also done to prevent Tenya, Izuku, and Shouto's Hero careers from being ruined before they even began. It is possible for a Vigilante to become a legal Hero if a Pro Hero recruits them as a Sidekick.

    Costumes: Vigilantes tend to wear costumes while they are out in the field, often to hide their identities since they're self-aware of how their good-intended acts are viewed as crimes by the law. However, as they do not have access to support companies like Heroes do, their Costumes are usually made out of their regular clothes and whatever else they can get ahold of. In some cases, they may even resort to the black market like Villains do, to obtain any resources they need.

    The World Heroes Association is a governing body that is responsible for overseeing the Hero work in the world's nations. The World Heroes Association is an organization run by representatives from each country, with the responsibility of overseeing and managing Heroes across the globe. They are responsible for organizing and running operations that require international cooperation. They are also responsible for sending Pro Heroes to different nations in times of need. Though, this doesn't happen often as with the less Heroes that are present in a given nation, the higher the crime rates become.

    The Hero Public Safety Commission (ヒーロー公安委員会, Hīrō Kōan Iinkai) is a law enforcement agency responsible for managing the interactions between Heroes and society as a whole and for investigating the most dangerous cases of criminality. Japan's Hero Public Safety Commission is headed by a committee of non-Heroes, to improve the balance of influence between Heroes and regular members of society. The Commission is amongst other things a criminal investigative organization and responsible for many Hero-related matters, including the Provisional Hero License Exam, which is administered on a biannual basis in June and September. Hero Licenses are awarded by the Commission to those who pass the licensing exam. The Commission worked closely with the Police Force to coordinate Hero teams. The Commission is also known for handling Heroes individually to investigate and solve dangerous cases. According to Yokumiru Mera, the Hero Public Safety Commission is understaffed. This leads to Yokumiru being overworked during the preparations for the Provisional Hero License Exam, and thus extremely fatigued by the time he has to proctor it. Although the Safety Commission had been trusted by society to keep the peace, in actuality, the organization has an underlying corruptness in its acts to protect society's image of Heroes in order to maintain the status quo. The President of the Commission — also known as Madam President — always treated their workers as disposable assets, primarily using people from the underside of society to do their dirty work. However, when Pro Heroes committing crimes increased and became more organized, the Commission was no longer able to deal with them, and so, turned to recruiting and using Pro Heroes so that they could freely move when going against other Heroes in public. They groomed Kaina Tsutsumi, also known as Lady Nagant, to become an assassin, secretly killing corrupt Heroes and Villains under the people's eyes, to preserve their peace. Lady Nagant's mental health began to worsen as a result of also having to keep up the public façade, and when she questioned about the morality of these actions and suggested being transparent, the previous President threatened to silence her, resulting in his death, which was then covered up. Rather than executing Lady Nagant, the current President chose to instead lock her up in Tartarus. She had disagreed with the previous President's methods, and ordered her imprisonment so as there was no fear of information leaks, as well as prevent her from being executed, and using her as an example to discourage disputes between Heroes, claiming Lady Nagant's arrest was due to her killing a Hero in an argument. In order to prevent failures from Lady Nagant's incident from happening again, the president focused on Keigo Takami to be Lady Nagant's successor, intending to educate and train him from an even younger age, to have him fulfill his duty his whole life. He is implied to have taken part in some of these immoral actions for the sake of the organization that raised him, though not to the same level as Lady Nagant, which he remained conflicted about.

    Located In: Musutafu, Japan. U.A. High School (雄英高校, Yūei Kōkō) is Japan's top-ranked hero academy, dedicated to training aspiring heroes. It sits atop a forested hill that overlooks Musutafu. The main building takes the shape of an "H", with it's exterior being mostly compromised of windows, giving the school a glassy facade. The campus is vast and well-equipped, featuring various facilities designed for hero education and combat training. Since it's a Japanese school, it follows the Japanese school year structure — The first term runs to around July 20, when summer vacation begins; second term is early September for the second term, which lasts until about December 25; the final term begins in early January and continues to late March. U.A. is known for its prestigious reputation, producing some of the world's most successful professional heroes. Students are separated based on their abilities into specific Departments and Classes - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K. U.A. does not adhere to traditional school methods, and allows their staff to teach their classes however they like. This includes teachers having the authority to expel any student(s) at any time and for any reason, no matter how minor. Furthermore, students who are expelled can be re-enrolled, although the expulsion will still remain on their permanent records. Like many schools, each class in U.A. has a class representative and vice class representative. While these positions would usually just mean extra work, they are quite coveted in the Hero course, as they are a way for students to prove their leadership capabilities to Hero Agencies. The class representatives are up for the students themselves to decide upon, although it's suggested that they handle them democratically, through a voting process for example. U.A's moto is "Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!".

    U.A.'s Security System: At the entrance, there is a security wall nicknamed the "U.A. Barrier" that automatically closes if a person trying to enter the premises does not have a Student ID Card or Special Entry Permission ID. Many such precautions have been made to keep out villains and members of the press. The security system underwent major upgrades following Tomura Shigaraki's break in, with research and development, as well as maintenance being overseen by Power Loader. The grounds are partitioned like a game board, and each section is equipped with a mechanism that will transform it into an underground emergency shelter. Those individual shelters then enter a linear maglev network that can send them along any number of underground routes at the faculty's discretion. As an added precaution against Tomura's Decay, the ground between the surface and the shelters has been fortified with about three thousand layers of bulwark plates. Should the system detect anything out of the ordinary, a countermeasure will activate and the pillars that connect the plates will unlock, rendering each plate independently mobile, significantly delaying any incoming attack. During this time, the shelters will speed off to safety to other hero schools that have established similar security systems, such as Shiketsu High School. Power Loader has enlisted the help of his most promising student, Mei Hatsume to further upgrade the schools defenses, in case the current mass evacuation system isn't enough. Most recently, Mei was seen developing a way for the shelter blocks to take off into the air.

    Classes:

    • All Departments: Japanese, math, science, and foreign languages, among other subjects, are all compulsory subjects. Students in every department study these core subjects and will change year by year.
    • Department of Heroes: Students learn everything they need to know to become excellent heroes in service of the community and work towards the qualifications necessary to be allowed to use their Quirks in public spaces. They are trained in battle, first aid, and all manner of heroics-related lessons. Ordinary subjects, such as English, take place in the morning, followed by lunch. Then, in the afternoon, Heroics classes take place. Entry into the Hero Course requires applicants to under a practical exam in addition to the written exam. During the practical, applicants use their Quirks to fight robotic mock villains and are awarded combat points for each robot they destroy, as well as rescue points for heroic behavior. These students belong to Classes A and B.
    • Department of General Education: Students who don't make the cut for the hero department are included in this department. It boasts a top-notch education with an eclectic lineup of teachers. The department of general education supports students aiming for college and other pursuits. It is also possible for students with exceptional grades to be transferred to the hero department. These students belong to Classes C, D, and E.
    • Department of Support: Students in this department focus on developing support equipment that help heroes out on the battlefield. With a workspace stocked to the brim with all sorts of special tools, the department provides an unmatched creative environment. These students belong to Classes F, G, and H.
    • Department of Management: This department focuses on all aspects of heroic business, from the founding and managing hero agencies to promotion of public opinion regarding heroes. They even do hands-on lessons in venture capitalism. Theses students belong to Classes I, J, and K.

    Timetable: Students in the Hero Course have an additional Period (lasting from 15:20~16:10). The lessons themselves depend on the department but the general daily schedule (for students not enrolled in the Hero Course) is as follows:

    Short Homeroom Start Time: 8:25 End Time: 8:35 Period: 1st Start Time: 8:40 End Time: 9:30 Period: 2nd Start Time: 9:40 End Time: 10:30 Period: 3rd Start Time: 10:40 End Time: 11:30 Period: 4th Start Time: 11:40 End Time: 12:30 Period: Lunch Start Time: 12:30 End Time: 13:20 Period: 5th Start Time: 13:20 End Time: 14:10 Period: 6th Start Time: 14:20 End Time: 15:10

    Key locations on campus include:

    • Main Building: Houses classrooms, staff rooms, the administration office, equipment room, locker rooms and essential school facilities.
    • Training Grounds: These include specialized areas like Ground Beta for combat practice and Ground Omega for outdoor scenarios. There is also a swimming pool and a forested area.
    • Dormitories: Students live on campus in personalized dorm rooms within their respective class buildings.
    • Sports Festival Stadium: The massive arena used for U.A.'s annual Sports Festival.
    • Support Department Workshops: Equipped with advanced tools for developing hero costumes and gear.
    • Unforseen Simulation Joint: A massive training facility to train students for disaster response.

    Uniforms/Garments: The U.A. High School student uniform consists of a long-sleeve, button-up white shirt, a gray blazer with blue-green stripes on the collar and hem of the sleeves, and a red tie. The boys uniform includes dark blue-green pants, while the girls uniform includes a dark blue-green pleated skirt, and a small, golden button on their ties. The male uniform's standard footwear are brown shoes, while the female uniform normally features black knee-high socks alongside brown shoes. Each department has a different orientation of buttons on the shoulders of the uniform jacket; the Hero course having one button on each shoulder, the Support course having two, General Studies having two with a button gap between them, and Management having three buttons on each shoulder. The U.A. P.E. uniform (or gym uniform) is a pair of dark blue pants with white vertical lines going up the legs and a dark blue short sleeve shirt with white lines that form the letters 'U' and 'A'. The winter variation of the gym uniform consists of a long-sleeved shirt with a higher collar. While U.A. students are required to wear this uniform, it seems the faculty is lax about enforcing students to wear the uniform properly; Katsuki Bakugou wears his uniform with the top buttons undone, no tie, and his pants sagging. Izuku Midoriya wears his tie not tied properly. The faculty don't seem to mind students wearing footwear outside of the common brown dress shoes, with Izuku wearing his red high tops and Shouto Todoroki wearing pale cyan and gray sneakers. As seen with Eijirou Kirishima and Yuyu Haya, hair dye and piercings are also allowed.

    Full Name: Nedzu (根津, Nedzu). Occupation(s): Pro Hero; Principal of U.A. High School. Sex/Gender: Male. Birthday: January 1. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tokyo, Japan). Blood Type: A. Fighting Style: Support. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Nedzu is a small stout creature who appears to be a possible combination of several different animals, including a dog, a mouse, and a bear, which would make him a chimera. He has the head of a mouse with circular black eyes, a large scar over the right one, relatively rectangular-shaped ears with pale pink insides slanting outwards from the top of his head, and an elongated muzzle with a small round nose. His fur is white and has large, dog-like paws with pink pads and a thin tail like that of a cat. He's 85 centimeters/2'9½" feet tall.

    Clothing: Nedzu sports a white dress shirt, a dark red tie around his neck, a black double-breasted waistcoat and matching dress pants. He wears orange lace-up sneakers with incredibly thick soles which seem to be quite large on him, very similar to the ones usually worn by Izuku Midoriya.

    Personality/History: As befitting to his role as principal of an academy for heroes, Nedzu is an eccentric, polite, and persistent educator. He is quite self-aware of his odd appearance and introduces himself by pointing it out. He can be very long-winded at times when explaining or educating. Nezu composed an entire lecture on his educational theories concerning the balance between hero and instructor, which he happily spoke of over tea with All Might. His dedication to educating goes as far as assessing villains, especially young ones, and wondering if they could be put on the right path if they were taught, although he admits the naivety of the idea. He is not above putting himself on the front lines or in danger, with his focus being the safety of his students. He understands strategies between hero conflicts enough to participate in the debriefing after the invasion. As a result of abuse and mistreatment by humans in the past, Nedzu's true character reveals itself whenever he is in combat. He enjoys "toying" with humans. He still holds a grudge over the many experiments he went through, coming off as slightly insane and unpredictable as a result.

    Backstory: Sometime before becoming U.A. High School's principal, Nedzu was experimented on by human beings. This mistreatment led to Nedzu developing a sadistic side to his otherwise polite personality. Nezu eventually became the principal of U.A. and later hired Shouta Aizawa as a teacher, who asked the principal for the ability to expel and re-enroll students, feeling that they should know the difference between self-sacrifice and throwing one's life away, so that they strive higher. Nedzu was unsure about Shouta's proposition, but accepted it. At some point, he met Toshinori Yagi, who told him the secret of One For All, so Nedzu suggested looking for a successor at U.A. High by giving him the opportunity to take up a teaching position at U.A.

    Quirk(s): High Specs (ハイスペック, Hai Supekku) — Mutant-Type Quirk. High Specs grants the user unparalleled intelligence, perception, reactions and comprehension that far surpasses that of any human. Through this Quirk, Nedzu, an animal, is capable of thinking, speaking, and acting like a human. Due to his unfathomable intelligence, Nedzu is capable of instantly formulating incredibly intricate strategies. For example, from a single vantage point, he can create a chain reaction of destruction to wreck an entire industrial zone with just one well-placed wrecking ball smash. This same intellect also grants him flawless leadership skills, which are acknowledged by the fact that he is the principal of U.A. High School, the top hero school in Japan. Because of his intelligence, Nedzu can perfectly recall anything. As such, Nedzu holds grudges from being experimented on, feelings that are exclusive to the human species, which might interfere in his thought processes. Nedzu is a rather special case, as it's extremely rare for an animal to manifest a Quirk.

    Relationships:

    • All Might (Nedzu and Toshinori have a very good relationship. He has known him for years and constantly worries about Toshinori, as he is one of the few people that know about his Quirk and his condition. He was the one that gave him the job as a teacher at U.A., which was done to keep him safe, and also for Toshinori to find a suitable successor for One For All among the students. The two have an amiable and mutually respectful relationship, although All Might often finds himself trapped by the principal's long winded and boring speeches and Nezu often has to deal with All Might's heroics interfering with his job as a teacher).
    • U.A. Staff (Nedzu has a good relationship with all the U.A. Staff. He trusts them and usually has meetings with them to organize U.A. activities, being open to their opinions. With the students, he is always understanding and attentive to their conditions, and he cares about their safety and well-being).

    Abilities:

    • Enhanced Senses: As an animal (be it a dog, mouse, or bear), Nedzu has above average senses of hearing and smell.
    • Tea Brewing: Nedzu loves a good cup of tea and knows how to make it.
    • Industrial Crane Driving: During the First Term Final Exam, Nedzu used a giant wrecking ball to create chain reaction destruction to combat Mina Ashido and Denki Kaminari.
    • Strategy: Thanks to the great intelligence bestowed by his Quirk, Nedzu is an exceptional strategist who is able to execute complicated plans in a short manner of time. This is best seen during his Final Exam fight against Mina and Denki, where he utilized a large crane to destroy their surroundings and send rubble down around them, forcing both students to flee in panic. Predicting their movements, Nedzu destroyed the structures to create chain reactions that would in turn block off all their exits apart from only one. This method forced them to focus on evading the destruction rather than seeking the remaining escape gate, which resulted in them both failing the practical battle due to their time limit expiring.
    • Vast Wealth: Nedzu is extremely wealthy. He was able to easily fund the upgrades of U.A.'s defensive mechanisms with his own money.
    • Security Planning and Management: As the Principal of U.A. High School, Nedzu is in charge of maintaining the school's advanced security system. Most notably the U.A. Barrier that will trigger large walls to rise up and seal off the entrance should anyone try to enter the school without a student ID or visitor pass.

    Stats:

    • Power: 1/6 (E).
    • Speed: 2/6 (D).
    • Technique: 5/6 (A).
    • Intelligence: 6/6 (S).
    • Cooperativeness: 3/6 (C).
    • Loveliness: 5/6 (A).

    Trivia:

    • Nedzu's name is a play on the Japanese word for "rat" (ねずみ, nezumi). Also, it's written with the kanji for "root, base, basis, foundation" (根, ne) and the kanji for "saliva, ferry, ford, moisten" (津, dzu).
    • Nedzu is one of four known examples of an animal possessing a Quirk, along with Monster Cat, Kuin Hachisuka and Bee☆Pop (with the latter two possessing the same Quirk — Queen Bee). According to Nedzu's Volume 3 profile: • Nedzu likes brushing. • He is a smoker.
    • According to Nedzu's Ultra Analysis profile: • As the principal of U.A. High School, Nedzu shows unparalleled humanity (whilst ironically being non-human) in the way that he cares for his students. • His extremely sharp thinking has earned him All Might's trust and respect. • Nedzu loves squirming into tight and confined spaces, which is presumably him following his natural instincts, being the reason why he loves hiding in Shouta Aizawa's Binding Cloth. • His personality is described as "refined yet friendly".

    Full Name: Chiyo Shuuzenji (修善寺治与, Shūzenji Chiyo). Hero Name: Youthful Heroine: Recovery Girl (妙齢ヒロイン リカバリーガール, Myōrei Hiroin: Rikabarī Gāru). Occupation(s): Pro Hero; Nurse at U.A. High School. Sex/Gender: Female. Age: 40+ Birthday: April 4. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tokyo, Japan). Blood Type: B. Fighting Style: Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Chiyo is a fair-skinned elderly woman with gray hair styled into a netted bun, a large syringe poking diagonally out of it to the left. She has a notably small nose and eyes which are small and usually closed, and a long mouth with defined nasolabial folds. Her body is a short, standing at 115 centimeters/3'9¼" feet tall.

    Clothing: Recovery Girl wears a doctor's lab coat and a dress with yellow and red vest-like designs on either side, two yellow buttons, and a belt with a pink "R"-shaped buckle. She wears pink boots and has a helmet around the sides of her head, a purple-tinted visor joining it over her eyes. In addition, she walks with a cane designed like a syringe that she can also use for healing the injured.

    Personality/History: Chiyo has a kind and compassionate personality, where she treats everyone kindly, as she is usually shown giving her patients sweets to help their energy levels rise from her Quirk's stamina draining effects. Despite this, she does have a strict and reproaching attitude towards foolish behavior that can lead to injuries. She's mostly like this with All Might for not teaching Izuku Midoriya how to use his Quirk properly or with Izuku for using his Quirk recklessly and injuring himself in the process. She eventually refuses to heal Izuku's injuries caused by One For All to prevent this habit from becoming an ongoing cycle, and encourages Izuku to find another way to master his Quirk's power without leading to self-injury. She can also be quite harsh and critical, as she rebuked Present Mic for being defeated by a swarm of bugs during his practical battle in the First Term Final Exam, despite his entomophobia.

    Quirk(s): Heal (癒し, Iyashi), also known as Recovery — Emitter-Type Quirk. Heal allows the user to amplify and quicken their targets' healing process by extending their lips and kissing them. With Heal, some grave injuries requiring months to heal can be healed completely in a matter of seconds. The healing process, however, is not without its cost. It requires stamina from the receiver's part in order to work, leaving said receiver very exhausted after the process is completed if an injury is, or injuries are, serious enough. If the amount of stamina someone has is less than what is needed to heal their injuries, the process could lead to their death. As such, surgeries and conventional healing methods will be required for severely life-threatening injuries before the effects of the Quirk can be applied. In such cases, it is sometimes applied several times over a period of time instead of healing everything in one shot. This also means that if a person suffers serious enough injuries, Heal will be unable to save them from death. Additionally, Heal is unable to completely heal certain injuries if they are too serious: this was first seen when Izuku Midoriya overused his Quirk against Shoto Todoroki, leaving his right hand scarred, and again when he unleashed his "1,000,000% Delaware Detroit Smash", leaving his arm permanently damaged even after Chiyo used her Quirk on him. Heal also cannot regrow lost body parts.

    Relationships:

    • All Might (Recovery Girl is one of All Might's friends, and also one of the few people who know about his condition and Quirk. She frequently scolds him for letting Izuku damage himself in fights and for not being a good enough mentor, believing that All Might spoils the boy. Following the final exams where All Might faces Izuku and Katsuki, Recovery Girl scolds All Might for his lack of restraint against the two. Despite these disagreements on All Might's teaching style, Recovery Girl still considers All Might to be both a friend and an excellent hero).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Recovery Girl is one of the few people who know that Izuku is the new heir to the One For All Quirk. During the first months, when Izuku still didn't not know how to control the power of One For All and he ends up wounded, she scolds Izuku for using his Quirk dangerously, as he consistently requires the use of her healing Quirk. Her scolding finally reaches a tipping point, where she flat out says she will no longer heal his self-inflicted Quirk injuries after the U.A. Sports Festival, fearing that he will continue to cause serious harm to himself as long as he thinks he can just be healed by her).

    Abilities:

    • Medical Expertise: After the battle between Izuku and Shoto Todoroki, Izuku's hand was too damaged to be healed by Recovery Girl's Quirk alone, so she had to perform surgery. This suggests that she is actually a professional doctor with proper knowledge of medical science.

    Stats:

    • Power: 1/6 (E).
    • Speed: 1/6 (E).
    • Technique: 5/6 (A).
    • Intelligence: 5/6 (A).
    • Cooperativeness: 4/6 (B).
    • Recovery: 6/6 (S).

    Trivia:

    • Chiyo's surname contains the characters for "discipline" (修, shū), "virtuous" (善, zen) and "Buddhist temple" (寺, ji), and her first name contains "heal" (治, chi) and "bestow" (与, yo). • The first part of Chiyo's family name seems to come from the word for "repair, mend" (修繕, shūzen). • It may also be a homage to Shuzenji, a town in Shizuoka known for its hot springs, as it shares the same spelling.
    • According to Chiyo's Volume 8 profile: • Chiyo's favorite thing is candy. • Chiyo has worked at U.A. for over forty years, and her words hold just as much authority as that of Principal Nezu's. Chiyo is also described as the supporting mainstay of the school.
    • Her Quirk seems to be a literal version of when a parent kisses a child's injury to "make it better".

    Full Name: Anan Kurose (黒瀬亜南, Kurose Anan). Hero Name: Space Hero: Thirteen (スペースヒーロ・13号, Supēsu Hīrō: Jūsan-gō). Occupation(s): Pro Hero; Rescue Training Especialist at U.A. High School. Sex/Gender: Female. Age: 28. Birthday: February 3. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tanegashima island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: A. Fighting Style: Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Anan is a fair-skinned woman with short, navy blue colored hair, and a blonde patch stretching out of at the roots, simulating a spiral. She has hazel-colored irises with rings around them, resembling the first concepts given to depict black holes. Her hands and forearms are covered in a black substance, most likely due to her Quirk, Black Hole. Her body is round yet slender, standing at 180 centimeters/5'11" feet tall.

    Hero Costume: Thirteen's costume consists of a white space suit design, resembling more as a puffy jacket than an actual space suit, a black helmet with white eyes, and a pair of yellow boots.

    Personality/History: Anan is a wise, well-mannered woman. As a rescue hero, Anan has displayed how passionate she is about saving people through her teachings. She even developed her own training facility - the Unforeseen Simulation Joint - to train future heroes in search and rescue tactics. She is very passionate about Quirks, specifically Quirks used for creation and assistance rather than for destruction and battle. Regardless, she preaches about her own Quirk being dangerous enough to take someone's life and encourages her students to use their powers for good as heroes. Anan has also been shown to be very brave. Despite not being a combat type, she does not hesitate to use her Quirk to fight against villains for the sake of protecting others.

    Quirk(s): Black Hole — Emitter-Type Quirk. Black Hole allows the user to create small black holes through their fingers. The black holes suck in and disintegrate any matter at the atomic level, as well as certain forms of energy, such as light. In combat, Thirteen can use this ability to prevent enemies from escaping her range by sucking them towards herself. Her possession of Black Hole is also likely responsible for her hands and forearms being covered by an unknown black substance. Due to its nature, Black Hole is highly volatile and dangerous, having a lot of potential to kill living beings or cause large collateral damage to the user's surroundings if not regulated properly. Should someone get caught by the suction with no way to escape, Thirteen must deactivate Black Hole to avoid obliterating the target, leaving herself open to a counterattack. Due to that restriction, Black Hole is unsuitable for close combat. Thirteen is not immune to the effects of Black Hole and will get disintegrated like any other object caught by the range of suction, so she has to be extra careful while activating it. This also puts her at a disadvantage against enemies with Quirks that can redirect and turn her suction power against her, such as Kurogiri's Warp Gate. Surviving Black Hole is not impossible if one only gets briefly exposed to it, but victims will be left in critical condition. Since Thirteen's Quirk Factor lies within her fingers, she would be unable to use her Quirk should she lose said limbs.

    Equipment:

    • Gloves: Anan's hero costume includes a pair of gloves with fingertips that can flip open. The more fingers she opens, the stronger the effects of her Quirk she can utilize. This allows her to keep the extremely high destructive potential of her Quirk in check.

    Trivia:

    • Anan's surname contains the kanji for "black" (黒, kuro) and "rapids, current" (瀬, se), and her first name contains a particle used to mean "sub-​" (亜, a) and "south" (南, nan).
    • Anan likes museums and self-learning documentaries.
    • Anan usually doesn't drink alcohol and only does so on special occasions. While out drinking with her colleagues however, she is revealed to be a chatty drunk who frequently trips over her words and gets flustered at little things.
    • Her hero name, along with her astronaut-themed costume, is likely to be a reference to Apollo 13, NASA's space mission that was made popular by the "Houston, we have a problem" line.

    Appearance: Lunch Rush wears a cooking apron and an oversized chef hat that covers all of his head and face, as well as a mask that covers his face. He also wears white gloves and shoes. There's also a tube that connects from his mouth — through his mask — to his back. He is 160 centimeters/5'3" feet tall. Nobody actually knows what Lunch Rush looks like underneath his clothing.

    Personality/History: Though Lunch Rush doesn't speak much, but it's implied that he has an upbeat attitude as he always gives a thumbs-up as a form of reply.

    Quirk(s): Unknown. Nobody actually knows what Lunch Rush's Quirk is, as there was never a situation where he needed to reveal it — or at least, the usage of his Quirk has never been seen publically before.

    Full Name: Ryou Inui (犬井猟, Inui Ryō). Hero Name: Hound Hero: Hound Dog (猟犬ヒーロー ハウンドドッグ, Ryōken Hīrō: Haundodoggu). Occupation(s): Pro Hero; Head of the Student Discipline at U.A. High School. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 32. Birthday: November 15. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tokyo, Japan). Blood Type: A. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Ryou has the appearance of a dog due to his Quirk, with a snout and dog-like nose (he lacks a tail however). He has triangular eyes with black irises and a scruffy mane of blond hair sticking straight out behind his head. His body is broad and strong-looking, with his arms having two black, zig-zagging stripes. He stands at 196 centimeters/6'5" feet tall.

    Hero Costume: Hound Dog's hero costume consists of a muzzle over his slightly pointed snout, a black corset (or corset-like cloth piece) with an yellow stripe running across it's circumference and brown fur lining it's middle and hems/edges. He also sports black fingerless gloves and dark brown pants.

    Personality/History: Ryou is a passionate and empathetic person who cares about the wellbeing of others, but he's also serious when it comes to discipline and is willing to be harsh if it's for the well being of others. When angry, Ryou speaks in an incoherent and violent manner with a mix of words and a sound akin to a dog's growling.

    Quirk(s): Dog (犬, Inu) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Dog gives the user an increased sense of hearing and smell. For Ryou, his sense of smell was to the point where he could tell how many people there were inside a forest from outside. It also gives him the characteristics of a dog, including paws, claws, fur, and a long, black nose. Nothing else is known about his Quirk, but it is likely that it might increase his physical attributes.

    • Vlad King (Ryou and Sekijirou appear to get along well. After Ryou has an angry fit, Sekijirou approaches him and takes over for his speech, having understood what Ryo wanted to say).

    Abilities:

    • Head of School Discipline: As the teacher in charge of student discipline at UA, he is feared by most of the student body. This is aided by his tendency to act animal-like when angered.

    Full Name: Yuuga Aoyama (青山優雅, Aoyama Yūga). Hero Name: Can't Stop Twinkling (Can't Stop Twinkling, Kyanto Sutoppu Tuinkuringu). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 16. Birthday: May 30. Nationality/Birthplace: French (born and raised in France before moving to study at U.A. High School). Blood Type: O. Seat in Class 1-A: 1. Fighting Style: Ranged + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Yuuga is a fair-skinned boy with a feminine face, long blond hair, worn flattened down around most of his head, spiked and sticking out to the sides at the bottom with a side fringe that slightly curves upwards before it curves down. He also has notably long eyelashes and bright indigo irises, giving him the appearance of a young prince. His body is lean and slim, standing at 168 centimeters/5'6" feet tall.

    Clothing: Yuuga wears a special belt called "Sparkle Belt" that prevents his powers from leaking out, wearing that specialized belt since his childhood. The belt is made of steel with camera-like lens on the middle — where his navel is located.

    Hero costume: Yuuga's hero costume consists of a bluish-black bodysuit, over which he wears a suit of metallic lavender and golden armor; a chest plate, two spherical shoulder pads, elbow-length vambraces, and knee-length boots. His chest plate has a high V-neck collar with a golden Greek fret-like trim, as with the lower diaphanous piece under the belt and the edges of the vambraces. It also comes with a long, glittery reddish indigo cape and a belt with a golden ring-shaped buckle with a blue crystal, from which he emits his Quirk, matching the smaller ones over his shoulder pads and knees. He has straight, angled golden lines running down his baggy pants, a matching set around the shafts of his boots, and a red-tinted wing-shaped visor over his eyes.

    Personality/History: Yuuga appears to be vain and prideful, thinking of himself as superior to the rest of his classmates, especially regarding his Quirk. He exhibits flamboyant mannerisms, is fond of posing, and likes to grab the attention of those around him despite frequently getting ignored by his peers. His expression rarely changes from a closed smile, even while he speaks or gets hurt, and he's also prone to getting upset if interrupted or questioned. Yuuga's sentences often end with a star (☆) symbol, indicating a fancy tone. He also plays up his French heritage, occasionally implementing French words into his sentences. This persona is more of a façade than anything, however, as Yuuga holds severe insecurities and guilt due to the true nature of his Quirk and upbringing — even though he comes from a wealthy family. Born Quirkless, Yuuga struggled due to being "different" from everybody— something his parents worried about even more. Not wanting him to suffer from discrimination, these reservations directly led to the Aoyama clan contacting All For One, who gave Yuuga his Navel Laser Quirk. As a result, this forced their family into his debt, and Yuuga became an unwilling double agent in fear of death. Though he desires to have friends, Yuuga rarely has the confidence to act upon it. This unconfident disposition is initially believed to be due to his insecurities and lack of social skills; he can unintentionally come off as "creepy" to others when he genuinely means well and is surprisingly loyal. This is from the guilt of having to work for the villains and betraying his classmates. Due to putting them all in danger, he believes himself to be a "despicable villain", unworthy of having friends. Instead, he opts to self-isolate, seen through his eating of school meals alone rather than with his classmates and general avoidance of most social situations. Despite this, he has been shown to be rather observant, able to pick up on Ochaco Uraraka's crush on Izuku Midoriya before she even realized it herself. Yuga does possess a compassionate side and is shown to sympathize to those who share similar struggles with him. Despite seeing himself as a reprehensible villain, Yuuga is genuinely kindhearted and desires to do good.

    Backstory: Yuuga Aoyama hailed from a wealthy family but was born Quirkless, developing an inferiority complex with respect to other people, to the point of asking his parents why he is so different from everyone. Not wanting their son to suffer discrimination and wanting to support his dreams of being a hero, they managed to get in contact with All For One, who agreed to give Yuuga a Quirk. All For One transferred Navel Laser to Yuuga. Unfortunately, because Yuga's body was inappropriate for the Quirk, the beams involuntarily leaked out from his navel. To explain his incompatibility with the Quirk, Yuuga often justifies himself by saying that it is due to a birth defect. Later, Yuuga received a special belt created especially for him to prevent his powers from leaking out, an item he would wear throughout his childhood. Just as he and his family were living peacefully, All For One came to collect on their debt and forced Yuuga to abide by his commands. He and his parents were forced to work for the villain out of fear of retaliation for not doing so, and threatened with death if they were to betray him. With no choice but to become All For One's double agent, Yuuga has never stopped feeling crushed by his guilt.

    Quirk(s): Navel Laser (ネビルレーザー, Nebiru Rēzā) — Emitter-Type Quirk. It was given to Yuuga by All For One, who had originally stolen it from someone else. Navel Laser gives the user the ability to fire sparkly twinkling laser beams from their navel. Those beams specifically come from Yuga's bellybutton. They can range from short to long-range, with strong enough recoil to propel the user through the air at a high speed. Yuuga has the ability to manipulate the size and shape of a beam, such as turning it razor-thin or into a blade of light that can be swung around. The beams are powerful enough to destroy metal and pierce through solid concrete, although they do not appear to be lethal. Navel Laser is bright enough to illuminate dark areas, a valuable skill in rescuing missions, or work as a beacon, allowing others to easily locate Yuuga's current position from the beam of light. For scattered allies, this is extremely helpful for regrouping, and for enemies, it serves as effective bait. Without assistance from the Sparkle Belt, Navel Laser is out of control, unable to be aimed in any specific direction. Despite this, the user is still able to fire lasers, albeit haphazardly. Because this Quirk did not originally belong to Yuuga, his body is not adapted to it. As a result, Yuuga's Navel Laser can involuntarily "leak out", meaning that he is dependent on his Sparkle Belt equipment for his Quirk to function properly. Yuuga justifies this by saying that it was a birth defect, to hide the fact that he was born without a Quirk at all. According to Yuuga himself, he has been constantly wearing his Sparkle Belt since he was a child. Yuuga has trouble shooting with his Navel Laser continuously. He can damage his insides if he uses his Quirk for more than a second. The horrific result of overusing his Navel Laser is losing control of his bowels. However, through his rigorous training at U.A., Yuuga has been able to increase the Navel Laser's time, uses, and power limit, being able to fire it multiple times or for several continuous seconds without showing stomach pain. In addition, since Yuuga can only fire his Navel Laser in a straight line from the front of his body, he is left vulnerable against attacks coming from other directions, particularly from behind him. That's why Yuuga designed his hero suit so he could channel his laser through the lenses distributed throughout his body, giving him more freedom to attack. As part of his training, Yuga continuously fired his Navel Laser to build up his body's endurance, increase the range of his blasts, and gain the ability to use his blast even when undergoing stomach pains. • Navel Laser's Quirk Awakening Effect: After undergoing a Quirk Awakening, Navel Laser's laser beams become faster and more potent, even to the point of causing Tohru Hagakure's Invisibility Quirk to "glitch" out.

    Relationships:

    • Family (Yuuga has an excellent relationship with his parents).
    • Class 1-A (Several of Class 1-A's students are put off or disgusted by Yuuga's arrogant attitude. Despite this, he gets along well with them. At times there are moments when Yuuga is encouraged to take action to protect them).
    • Mina Ashido (He seems to seems to interact with her more than with his other classmates. Mina often teases him about his stomach aches as a result of his Quirk. A running gag is her interrupting him when he is arrogantly speaking about himself, often making him mad).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Yuuga sympathizes with Izuku due to the both of them having what he perceives as highly self-harmful and uncontrollable Quirks, although how he displays this sympathy initially startled Izuku, with the latter unaware that the messages were also subtle cries for help).
    • Touru Hagakure (While the two have had little interaction, Touru and Yuuga appear to get along as friends and fellow classmates).
    • All For One (After being contacted by his parents, All For One was responsible for giving Yuuga his Quirk. Despite Navel Laser being a poor fit for Yuuga's body, and thus being forced to rely on a support belt courtesy of his parents, he was happy with what he had received. However, All For One would return to collect on this debt and in turn, forced Yuuga to become his mole within U.A. High School under the threat of death to him and his parents. Yuuga heavily resents All For One for exploiting him and his parents).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: While Yuuga may not possess any melee combat skills, he does have a good handle on his Quirk: Navel Laser. The beams that Yuuga can fire gives him a wide range of versatility, and enough firepower to penetrate through obstacles. The rays also have enough recoil to propel Yuuga through the air at a high speed, effectively boosting his mobility. Yuga has also displayed the ability to manipulate the size and shape of his beams. Yuuga also possesses good camaraderie, using his Navel Laser to distract his enemies from a distance, and even if he reaches his limit, Yuuga effectively gives his comrades the opening required to defeat the opponent that stands before them. Yuuga has repeatedly displayed the capacity to effortlessly destroy Villain Bots with a single blast from his Navel Laser. His aim with his beams is also on point most of the time.
    • Keen Intellect: While he was an unwilling mole, it should be noted that Yuuga is also highly elusive and cunning despite his habit of boasting. He could leak the U.S.J. location without getting caught. As mentioned by Izuku, Yuuga is tough to read, given how he quickly hides his actions and enormous guilt and remorse.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Navel Buffet☆Laser (ネビル ビュッフェレーザー, Nebiru Buffe Rēzā): Yuuga fires successive beams not only from his navel but also from his shoulders and knees, which are equipped with beam openings just like his Sparkle Belt. As a result, this technique puts more strain on him than when he usually uses his Quirk.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Navel Saber (ネビルセーバー, Nebiru Sēbā): Yuuga concentrates the energy of his Navel Laser and shapes it into a cutting light blade attached to his bellybutton.
    • Supernova (スーパーノヴァ, Sūpānova): After charging his Navel Laser for an extended period, Yuuga can unleash a much more powerful laser beam that surpasses his normal output. This move is a giant laser beam with a significantly wider diameter. Yuuga can also increase its firepower by firing smaller beams alongside his larger beam.
    • Warp Refraction: Navel Laser (集光屈折 ネビルレーザー, Shūkō Kussetsu Nebiru Rēzā): Yuuga shoots out his uncontrolled Navel Laser, which is warped by Touru, spreading the light in all directions, blinding and damaging anything in the vicinity.

    Stats:

    • Power: 2/6 (D).
    • Speed: 3/6 (C).
    • Technique: 4/6 (B).
    • Intelligence: 3/6 (C).
    • Cooperativeness: 1/6 (E).
    • Twinkliness: 6/6 (S).

    Equipment:

    • Hero Outfit: Yuuga's hero outfit, though it may look like it was meant to only look flashy, is actually made of high tech so that he can channel his laser beam to other lenses across the costume, thus allowing him to shoot his beam from other parts of his body, such as his knees and shoulders.
    • Sparkle Shades (キラメキ グラス, Kirameki Gurasu): This equipment is so Yuuga won't be blinded by his own shine.
    • Sparkle Inner (キラメキインナー, Kirameki Innā): This equipment is very high tech, as it's designed to send the energy emitted by his navel lasers to his shoulders and knees, who have emitters similar to his belt.
    • Sparkling Emitter Gear (キラメキ噴出セット, Kirameki Funshutsu Setto): This equipment is divided into five "sparktacular" sparkle items that focus the sparkling energy transmitted by his "Sparkle Inner" into a single sparkling sparkle beam.
    • Sparkle Belt (お手軽キラメキベルト, Otegaru Kirameki Beruto): This equipment is a simple yet convenient belt that Yuuga wears every day to help his Quirk function properly.

    Trivia:

    • Yuuga's surname contains the kanji for "blue" (青, ao) and "mountain" (山, yama), and his first name contains "excellent, superior" (優, yū) and "elegant, graceful, refined" (雅, ga). His surname is exactly the same as Aoyama (青山), the name of a wealthy and fashionable area of Tokyo, which is often mentioned associating with the word "elegant" (優雅, yūga).
    • According to Yuuga's Volume 1 profile: • Yuuga's favorite thing is himself (apparently).
    • Yuuga uses a rose scented fragrance to give himself a romantic tip.
    • Yuuga's known U.A. academic data is as follows: • Student No. 1 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 14th during the Quirk Apprehension Test. • His 50-Meter Dash record is 5.51 seconds. His previous record was 8.25 seconds in middle school. • Ranked 18th in Class 1-A's grades. • Ranked in the Top 16 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.
    • Yuuga is one of the three students attending U.A. confirmed to be a foreigner, the others being Hiryuu Rin and Pony Tsunotori.
    • With his birthday taking place in late May (two days after Mashirao Ojiro's), Yuuga is (currently) the third oldest student in Class 1-A, as everyone was fifteen when they started U.A.'s school year in early April.
    • Yuuga is the only member in Class 1-A to be from outside Japan.

    Full Name: Mina Ashido (芦戸三奈, Ashido Mina). Hero name: Ridley Hero: Pinky (リドリーヒーロー ピンキー, Ridorī Hīrō: Pinkī). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Female. Age: 15. Birthday: July 30. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: AB. Seat in Class 1-A: 2. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Mina is a pink-skinned girl with fluffy and unruly pink hair that's slightly darker than her skin and small, thin beige horns protruding from her head, hooked squarely and leaning diagonally to opposite sides. Her eyes are somewhat square-shaped and possess black sclerae, amber irises and long eyelashes, both below and around the sides of her eyes. Her body is slender, curvy and athletic, set a little more broadly than some of her other female classmates, and with "healthy thighs" (according to her profile). She is 159 centimeters/5'2½" feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours Mina wears the standard female U.A. uniform, though she foregoes the blazer — leaving her white shirt exposed.

    Hero Costume: Ashido's hero costume, Prism Sky, consists of a plain white mask with thin lines over her eyes and a purple and turquoise skin-tight bodysuit with a camouflage pattern, ending just above her breasts. Over this, she wears a cropped, sleeveless, tan-colored waistcoat with white fur along its collar, which she leaves unbuttoned. She wears custom made plum violet and beige acid-proof boots with holes in the soles, allowing her to secrete acid from her feet to slide around. The winter version of her costume is very similar, the only difference being that she replaces her usual waistcoat with another, which is slightly longer and has sleeves down to her elbows. A large hexagonal patch with a purple letter "P" (standing for her hero name, "Pinky") stitched onto the shoulder of each sleeve. The fur lining is on both her collar and hem, along with being thicker and wider, and is joined in the center by two clasps instead of being undone like the rest of her jacket.

    Personality/History: Ashido is an extroverted, easygoing and lively girl who usually displays a smile. Highly social and excitable, she loves to hang out with her friends and is shown to become very upset when denied an opportunity to be at a gathering. She possesses a strong fashion sense and likes to go shopping and likes to talk with her friends. Due to her athleticism and energy, Mina enjoys and is very skilled at dancing. She's also willing to teach others how to dance, though her demeanor becomes more strict and perfectionist when teaching others how to dance, in direct contrast to her usual happy-go-lucky nature. She is known to use her dancing to somehow pacify even those who have bad relationships with others. Ashido's academic performance is quite poor, though she goofily laughs about it she feels and shows clear frustration and anxiety about it. This causes her to be viewed as an airhead by other students — second only to Denki Kaminari, though with proper tutoring she shows dedication to her studies. Mina is extremely courageous and is viewed as an ideal personality for hero work. Before entering U.A., Mina would condemn bullying in middle school and even convinced some bullies to come around with her upbeat and easygoing demeanor. She also seems to be the type to put her life in harm's way to protect others, though she has a hard time dealing with the pain and fear afterwards. Mina is somewhat of a romantic and holds a lot of interest over other people's love lives, to the point of being obnoxiously curious and intrusive about them. Her suspicions, however, tend to be rather baseless most of the time, as she seems to view any instance of a pairing as possible proof of a relationship regardless of compatibility.

    Backstory: Back in her middle school days, Mina Ashido was considered a favorite by peers to become a future hero due to her looks, personality, and strong Quirk, being capable of making bullies and the bullied get along. When her friends were approached by a gigantic threatening figure, Mina built the courage to stand up against the monster and trick it into leaving herself and her friends alone, breaking down into tears right after as Eijirou Kirishima just watched. Mina took the U.A. Entrance Exam alongside Eijirou, with both being approved in the end. As they met for their first day in U.A. High School, Mina noticed Eijirou's new look and attitude towards his goal in becoming a hero. She became interested in whether Eijirou had truly changed or not, asking for the boy to tell her once he became sure of his new persona.

    Quirk(s): Acid (酸, San) — Emitter-Type Quirk. Acid allows the user to create corrosive liquid from their skin, with it being naturally resistant to the acid they produce. This Quirk alters Mina's skin pigment, resulting in it having a purple-pink coloration, but in spite of that, her acid itself seems to be gray. Acid can be generated in high quantities from any part of her skin, with Mina being capable of manipulating it to an extent. Mina can produce acid that's strong enough to melt solid objects, including metal ones. This gives Mina an advantage against most adversaries, especially those who are overly reliant on easily-destroyable weapons and equipment, such as Yuga Aoyama's cape and belt. It is shown that she has gained inspiration from Katsuki Bakugo's Explosion and Shoto Todoroki's Half-Cold Half-Hot due to their technique to condense and then release their Quirks which was taught to them by Endeavor. Acid is also implied to affect the growth of her horns based on its development. Mina has a limit to how long she can keep producing acid, with her skin gradually losing its natural resistance to corrosion. As part of her training, Mina constantly produced acid in order to increase her skin's durability, namely towards the corrosive properties of her Quirk. Mina's Quirk can also be fatal as it not only corrodes her skin badly, but can also severely dehydrate her should she push it too far. As part of her training, Mina constantly produced acid in order to increase her skin's durability, namely towards the corrosive properties of her Quirk.

    Relationships:

    • Eijirou Kirishima (Good friends since middle school during their senior year — when Mina defended Eijirou from his bullies).
    • Ochako Uraraka (Good friends and are often seen together).
    • Tsuyu Asui (Good friends. They are often seen talking to each other; they are also on a first-name basis, further reinforcing their friendship).
    • Denki Kaminari (Good friends. While Mina doesn't have much interaction with Denki as others, she shares a good chemistry with Denki in being the most comical students within other classmates. She is also often paired up with Denki due to them sharing bad grades prior to the exams. Because of this, they somewhat bonded due to them being the worst students in class in terms of grades with Mina often sharing the same idiotic flair with Denki, expecting to be positively let off the hook only to be let down into situations that are rather punishing).
    • Momo Yaoyorozu (Great friends and are constantly seen together outside of class hours. Momo also helps Mina and Denki with their studies).
    • Hanta Sero (Good friends).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Mina and Izuku have rarely shared important interactions together but when they do Mina has a playful bounce off of Izuku's muttering, though she doesn't seem to mind it).
    • Yuuga Aoyama (Yuuga seems to interact with her more than with his other classmates. Mina often teases him about his stomach aches as a result of his Quirk, though she is apologetic in cases where she hurts him. A running gag is her interrupting him when he is arrogantly speaking about himself, often making him mad, but they don't seem to be on bad terms).
    • Minoru Mineta (Like the rest of the girls in Class 1-A, Mina despises Minoru's perverted attitude towards them. Outside of this, Mina is well-aware of Minoru's naughty personality and has on occasion used this to motivate and or convince him. She was jealous that Minoru got a higher grade than her at the exams, which meant he was more intelligent than her in spite of his behavior. Her words only gave him smug satisfaction).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Despite having minimal combat abilities, Mina makes up for it with her Quirk proficiency and incredible reaction time. Her abilities allowed her to earn 9th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test and Mina has demonstrated a good handle on the applications of her Acid, using it as cover fire for her allies and employing it in various ways. Mina can also control the levels of solubility and viscosity of her acid. She lowers solubility and ensures that her Quirk doesn't become lethal against most living beings. And by raising viscosity, Mina can generate extremely slimy acid that acts as a protective barrier by gluing it to surfaces. Mina is said to have difficulties facing human adversaries due to not fully mastering her Quirk's corrosive properties, so she's more comfortable battling inorganic foes. Besides her Quirk handling, Mina reflexes surpass most of Class 1-A's students while being the best out of the female members of the said class.
    • Dancing Talent: Mina is extremely skilled at dancing, capable of pulling break-dance moves with little effort. She can also teach an amateur to become a decent dancer quickly. Izuku Midoriya has noted that her dancing expertise means she possesses excellent body control: thus, her quick reflexes and skill in close quarters combat.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Acid Veil (アシッドベール , Ashiddobēru): Mina's special move. By maximizing her acid's solubility and viscosity, Mina creates a gelatinous acid wall that blocks incoming projectiles. Mina's Acid Veil can be strong enough to block hardened balls (stronger than concrete) with ease.
    • Acid Shot (アシッドショット, Ashiddo Shotto): Mina fires a hail of acidic bullets over a widespread area from above to shower down on to her opponents.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Acid Layback (アシッドレイバック, Ashiddo Reibakku): Mina projects acid from her shoes to dissolve the surface of the ground beneath her and make it easier to spin on the spot. With the enhanced momentum of her super-fast spin, she can throw projectiles with massively increased force. • Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta Bounce (グレープピンキーコンボ 跳峰田, Gurēpu Pinkī Konbo - Hane Mineta): After Mina uses Acid Lay-back to spin on the spot and Minoru lays down multiple Pop Off Spheres on the ground and walls, Mina throws Minoru with great force so that he bounces from sphere to sphere. As he is flying through the air and bouncing off of each sphere, he can throw more Pop Off Spheres from his head onto his opponents while making it difficult to be hit back.
    • Acidman (アシッドマン, Ashiddoman): After increasing the viscosity of her Quirk, Mina generates a large amount of acid that takes a vaguely anthropomorphic form that covers her entire body. This technique has defensive properties since every attack against Mina will be dissolved by the powerful acid that protects her.
    • Alma (ALMA, Aruma): After increasing the acidity of her Quirk to the maximum, Mina flings her Acidman at an opponent.

    Stats:

    • Power: 3/6 (C+).
    • Speed: 4/6 (B+).
    • Technique: 5/6 (A).
    • Intelligence: 1/6 (E).
    • Cooperativeness: 4/6 (B).
    • Dance: 5/6 (A+).

    Equipment:

    • Acid-proof Shoes: Mina wears special shoes that have holes in their soles, that let Mina secrete acid from her feet. The shoes are not damaged by the corrosive liquid, so Mina can easily use them to slide across the ground on her acid.
    • Acid-proof Outfit: Mina's costume is also acid-proof, so she can completely cover herself in acid without damaging it.

    Trivia:

    • Mina's surname contains the kanji for "reed" (芦, ashi) and "door" (戸, do), and her first name contains "three" (三, mi) and "apple tree" (奈, na). • Mina's surname is almost homophones to the Japanese pronunciation of "acid" (アシッド, ashiddo). • The first kanji in her given name, "three" (三, mi), can be read as "san", which is also the pronunciation of the Japanese word for "acid" (酸, san).
    • According to Mina's Volume 4 profile: • Her favorite thing is dancing. • Her favorite foods are Okra and Natto. • Mina is considered one of the stronger students in Class 1-A, having the best reflexes among the girls.
    • Mina's known U.A. data is as follows: • Mina is student No. 2 in Class 1-A. • Ranked ninth during Shota Aizawa's Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked in the Top 8 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. • Ranked nineteenth in Class 1-A's mid-term grades.
    • According to Mina's Ultra Analysis profile: • She is more observant than people give her credit for, making her especially good at coming up with team attacks. • Mina has "never liked anyone, but wishes she can be in love". • Her personality is described as "pure energy".
    • Mina learned how to breakdance when she was little.
    • Mina and Yuuga are the only Class 1-A participants of the U.A. Sports Festival Fighting Tournament who didn't receive a nomination from a Pro Hero.
    • Mina's initial choice of her hero name, Ridley Hero: Alien Queen (リドリーヒーロー エイリアンクイーン, Ridorī Hīrō Eirian Kuīn), is a direct reference to the Xenomorph from Alien, where the titular creature is an extraterrestrial being that possesses acidic blood. "Ridley Hero" also references the film's director, Ridley Scott.
    • Mina, Momo Yaoyorozu, Minoru, and Tsuyu Asui all share the same costume designer.
    • Mina is the only girl in her class to wear shorts under her skirt, which is implied to be so that she can breakdance while in her school uniform.

    Full name: Tsuyu Asui (蛙吹梅雨, Asui Tsuyu). Nicknames: Tsu, Tsuyu-Chan. Hero name: Rainy Season Hero: Froppy. (梅雨入りヒーロー フロッピー Tsuyuiri Hīrō: Furoppī). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Female. Age: 15. Birthday: February 12. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Aichi Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: B. Family: Ganma Asui (father); Bell Asui (mother); Samidare Asui (younger brother); Satsuki (younger sister). Seat in Class 1-A: 3. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Tsuyu is a fair-skinned girl with notably large hands. Her appearance is rather frog-like; she has a wide mouth, which dips down a little in the middle just like a common frog, and oval-shaped eyes with large, black irises, with lower eyelashes being visibly pronounced. Amongst her family, Tsuyu's frog-like traits are the least pronounced. She also demonstrates some frog-like mannerisms, such as hopping on all fours instead of running and holding herself in a way that is somewhat connotative of a frog. Her hair is a dark sea-green color and is very long, reaching to her hips with the ends tied together at the bottom in a large bow of hair. She has two armpit-length clumps framing her face and shorter bangs between her eyes, some partially swept to each side. Tsuyu has a slender and curvy body, standing at 150 centimeters/4'11" feet tall. Tsuyu tends to walk in a more crooked stance, leaning forward and leaving her hands rest floppily in front of her.

    Clothing: At U.A, Tsuyu wears the regular U.A. uniform for female students. It is topped with a gray dress jacket, two teal stripes, two pockets with folds, and two golden buttons. Underneath, she wears a white dress shirt, a red tie with a small, golden button, and a teal pleated skirt. She also wears brown dress shoes and knee-high socks.

    Hero costume: Tsuyu's hero costume consists of a bright green turtleneck bodysuit, tan-colored gloves with large green buckles on each wrist guard, and two matching belts, one above her breasts, a strap at either side going around her shoulders, and one around her waist, little holes embedded into it all the way around. Two black lines run down her suit, each framed with a yellow outline, and she wears tight black boots with yellow markings in the shape of a "V" on her thighs and green webbed flippers resembling frogs' toes on her feet. She wears a headband with a color matching that of her gloves and goggles with dark green-tinted lenses attached on either side and a thin dark green mask that goes along the middle of her face. Her winter costume isn't significantly different, though she now wears a ring around her neck with two yellow bubble-shaped objects just above her shoulders that automatically regulate her body temperature (her Quirk causes her to hibernate when it drops a significant amount).

    Personality/History: Tsuyu is a level-headed and collected girl, staying calm and focused even during the most stressful situations. She's very straightforward and aloof, not afraid to speak her mind or what she thinks of others. She prefers it if her friends call her Tsu (or Tsuyu-chan). (If she uses honorifics) She commonly refers to everyone with the honorific "-chan", save for teachers and other authority figures. Her parents were always busy at work, requiring her to become the caretaker of her two younger siblings at a young age. Under these circumstances, Tsuyu grew into a highly mature and responsible individual who could divide her attention between school and home duties without letting one intervene with the other. This balance also means that she knows how to lead and look after people, keeping them safe and at ease if they don't feel so. She has strong morals, goals, and principles and is willing to oppose her friends to defend them from rash decisions. An honor student since middle school, Tsuyu has excellent judgment, can communicate her intentions easily, and is rarely moved by emotion, making her an incredibly dependable ally capable of covering for a partner's weaknesses. For those reasons, Recovery Girl describes her as a "perfect pillar of emotional support". However, even Tsuyu has limits when it comes to staying composed, having broken down in despair or heartbreak a few times. Tsuyu's words may also come off as unintentionally harsh, thanks to her blunt honesty, resulting in her feeling guilty and regretful when she speaks out against her friends. Tsuyu's usual expression consists of a vacant stare, which makes reading her thoughts and emotions difficult for those around her while sometimes creeping them out in the process. Tsuyu habitually tips her finger against her mouth while speaking, pondering, or showing curiosity. Tsuyu tends to say "ribbit" or "kero", emulating a frog's croaking, at the end of her sentences or as a replacement for many of her single-word replies.

    Backstory: Before starting at U.A., Tsuyu Asui's mother and father had to travel for work often, which gave them little time to raise their young children. Tsuyu was left with the responsibilities of raising Samidare and Satsuki, such as making dinner for them. Although it was tough raising her younger siblings, Tsuyu still found her life to be wonderful. Two years ago before starting at U.A., Tsuyu's hero studies at her middle school piled up and she didn't have much free time for herself. Tsuyu's busy schedule, as well as her frog-like appearance, made it difficult for her to make friends. During her time at middle school, there was a student who started stalking her named Habuko Mongoose, who also had difficulty making friends. Habuko often used her Quirk, which paralyzed whoever she looked at for three seconds, on Tsuyu. Despite this, Tsuyu wasn't bothered by Habuko's stalking because she could understand her as they were both lonely. One day, Tsuyu mustered up the courage and finally asked Habuko to be friends. Habuko was surprised and touched by Tsuyu's kindness, before happily agreeing to be friends with Tsuyu. Eventually, Tsuyu and Habuko graduated from their middle school, and while they went to different high schools, they kept in contact. The day after U.A.'s semester began, Tsuyu receives a message from Habuko which states that she made new friends at her new high school, and she will introduce them to her. Even though they ended up going to different high schools, Tsuyu notes that she will always be friends with Habuko. Tsuyu decides that, like Habuko, she will make lots of friends at her new high school as well.

    Quirk(s): Frog (蛙, Kaeru) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Tsuyu's mother and younger siblings also have this Quirk, while her father has a toad Quirk. Frog is the summation of Tsuyu's many frog-related abilities. This includes frog-like anatomy, great leg strength, wall clinging, a powerful extending tongue that can reach 20 meters/63 feet (and is strong enough to lift an entire person's body weight), camouflaging, fast swimming, regurgitation control (Tsuyu can eject/wash her stomach the same way a frog can), and secreting mucus with different effects like paralysis, itch induction and scent maskng. Tsuyu is seemingly capable of using all those skills limitlessly and in combination with one another. She also appears to have access to all abilities used by frogs, regardless of what species they belong to. When hopping or running, Tsuyu tends to move on all four to enchance her speed. As frogs are cold-blooded creatures, Tsuyu is highly sensitive to the cold, with prolonged exposure preventing her Quirk from being used while additionally making her feel drowsy and lethargic. Exposure to sudden cold puts Tsuyu into a hibernation-like state, rendering her completely unable to do anything until she warms up. In addition, she is susceptible to high heat and fire as her aquatic nature leaves her vulnerable to drying out. As part of her training, Tsuyu worked out all the muscles in her body, including her tongue, by rock climbing on the side of a cliff while having her elongated tongue remain in place at the top of the structure.

    Relationships:

    • Ganma (Father).
    • Bell (Mother).
    • Samidare (Younger brother).
    • Satsuki (Younger sister).
    • Family (Tsuyu has a good relationship with her family, especially with her younger siblings, Samidare and Satsuki. Due to their parents, Ganma and Bell, often working away from home, Tsuyu is responsible for taking care of them by herself, doing things such as making them dinner. Even if she decides to stay on her dorm on Heights Alliance, she will keep in contact with her family).
    • Habuko Mongoose (Habuko was a student who attended the same middle school as Tsuyu and was the first friend Tsuyu made. They had many similarities to each other; having strange appearances that made it difficult for them to make friends and they were lonely individuals as a result. Often, Habuko would stalk Tsuyu but not with ill-intent. Tsuyu did not mind this because she understood Habuko's loneliness resulting from her appearance. Eventually, Tsuyu asked to be friends with Habuko. Touched by her kindness, Habuko agreed to be friends with her. Ever since, the pair were close to one another. They graduated from middle school together, but went to different high schools. Even though they are at different high schools, Tsuyu and Habuko never stopped being friends with one another as shown when Habuko sent her a message and Tsuyu herself notes that Habuko will always be her friend; their friendship became a catalyst that helped them socialize more and make new friends from their respective high schools).
    • Class 1-A (Tsuyu has maintained and formed relationships with her classmates, especially with Izuku, Tenya, Ochako, Shouto, Eijirou and Momo. This also shows Tsuyu's honesty and willingness towards her friendships, wanting to ensure that she can dissolve all tension surrounding her in order to maintain having fun with her friends).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Close friends).
    • Ochako Uraraka (Close friends. They are on a first-name basis with each other; Tsuyu lets Ochako call her "Tsu", a nickname that only allows her close friends to call her. They care and protect when the other is in danger).
    • Tenya Iida (Close friends. They both hang out together with Izuku and Ochaco; more often than not, they sit at the same lunch table together).
    • Shouto Todoroki (Generally, Tsuyu and Shouto do not interact frequently, but they are on good terms, and are friends).
    • Eijirou Kirishima (Friends).
    • Momo Yaoyorozu (Friends).
    • Minoru Mineta (On-and-off friendship — Tsuyu is frequently seen together with Minoru, although she constantly punishes him for his perverted behavior or insensitive comments. Tsuyu often scolds him by hitting Minoru with her tongue).
    • Mina Ashido (The two girls are friends, as they are often seen talking to each other; they are also on a first-name basis, further reinforcing their friendship).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (Tsuyu and Katsuki have little interaction, largely due to the latter's stubborn, loud, and arrogant behavior. Katsuki chooses to ignore most of his classmates, Tsuyu included. Due to her blunt nature, Tsuyu remarked on Katsuki's slim chances of becoming a hero and growing popular, much to the latter's irritation, calling her "frog face").
    • Oki Mariner Crew (Tsuyu gets along very well with the Oki Mariner crew, especially with the captain Selkie and his sidekick Sirius, with whom she trained alongside in the internship. Sirius taught Tsuyu the importance of becoming a hero and agreed that she will become a great hero one day. Due to her inexperience and that she is not yet a Hero, Selkie tries to avoid Tsuyu being involved in hero works, but congratulates her when she does the right thing in a dangerous situation. Tsuyu seems to be the only one who finds the captain adorable when he attempts to make himself look cute).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Tsuyu has proven herself to be a highly capable individual. Using the frog-based abilities granted by her Quirk, Tsuyu has proficiency in close and long-range combat. She employs a fighting style that involves a great amount of agility and powerful leaps to evade, surprise, and confuse her opponents, as well as using her increased leg strength to deliver powerful kicks. Tsuyu can also use her elongated tongue in a grappling or whip-like fashion to subdue her opponents. In addition, Tsuyu excels in aquatic environments; her frog-like anatomy lets her move freely through water without losing strength or agility like most people. This proficiency makes Tsuyu pivotal in missions involving rescuing victims or clashing with opponents in underwater environments. Tsuyu also possesses great camaraderie, effectively combining her Quirk abilities with anyone with whom she is paired. Tsuyu is a very outstanding student with little to no weaknesses and can provide support to anyone, even those as powerful as Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki, Fumikage Tokoyami, and Tenya Ida. Her overall abilities make her one of the strongest female students in her class.
    • Enchanced Stamina: Tsuyu obtained impressive stamina through intense training.
    • Keen Intellect: Tsuyu has proven very intelligent, scoring 6th place in the mid-terms, showcasing her academic proficiency. She is also very analytical, as demonstrated in the U.S.J. Incident, in which she not only deduced the Quirk similarities between Izuku and All Might but also surmised the League of Villains may have an effective way to carry out their plan to kill All Might. Her speculation was later confirmed in the form of a Nomu. With her level-headedness and analytical skills, Tsuyu successfully helped Izuku and Minoru escape from the water villains surrounding the Flood Zone's trinity.

    Entry settings

    Full Name: Tenya Iida (飯田天哉, Īda Ten'ya). Hero Name: Turbo Hero: Ingenium (ターボヒーロー・インゲニウム, Tābo Hīrō: Ingeniumu). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Class Representative; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: August 22. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tokyo, Japan). Blood Type: A. Family: Tensei Iida (older brother, Pro Hero also known as Ingenium); parents and grandparents. Seat in Class 1-A: 4. Fighting Style: Close Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Tenya is a fair-skinned boy with an oblong head shape, short dark blue hair, flattened neatly down and parted on the right side of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head, and rather square eyes — with blue irises — which match the notably pointed shape of his jaw. He usually wears a serious expression, and his eyebrows seem permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long, the far ends sharply hooked inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. His body is muscular with a wide frame and, because of his Quirk, his calves are incredibly thick and shaped like automobile engines, with six silver exhaust pipes protruding from each leg in columns of three. Tenya is 179 centimeters/5'10½" feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours he wears the standard male U.A. uniform which he kees tidy and neat. Iida is very commonly seen wearing squared glasses.

    Hero costume: Tenya's hero costume consists of a dark blue one-piece suit with a high collar, over which he wears various pieces of armor, all in a pale silver, including a chest plate, a metal collar around his neck and another around his upper arm, and metal vambraces that extend past his elbows pointed at the ends. He wears a helmet covering his entire face, its sharp bevor full of holes to allow him to speak and breathe easily, and its upper piece rounded over his head with two larger holes on either side, two curved horns just behind and a single spike sticking out of the back of his head. On his feet, he wears silver knee-high boots with gold accessories, which are specialized for his Quirk, and around his torso, he has three thick metal pipes, attached with a blue band, although these only serve as decoration. His armor is very lightweight and does not protect him much; its main purpose is to cut down air resistance rather than to protect him.

    Personality/History: Tenya may look severe, unfriendly, and even intimidating at first glance, but in reality, he's straightforward, earnest, intelligent, sophisticated, disciplined, and noble, although a bit clueless about personal interactions due to his elite upbringing. A testament to his generally hyperactive and intense behavior, Tenya often exhibits plenty of peculiar tics, such as moving his arms around in strange chopping patterns or sometimes twitching his body uncontrollably; yet he rarely sheds his usual strict expression. Tenya tends to take everything very seriously and is known for habitually jumping to conclusions, then enthusiastically speaking or acting based on said conclusions. For example, after assuming that Izuku had figured out the true nature of the U.A. Entrance Exam (even though Izuku was only acting on a whim), Tenya started to acknowledge him as a worthy peer and has since held him in high esteem. Furthermore, Tenya always attempts to immerse himself heavily into practical exercises, playing his part as a hero or villain in an overly theatrical manner, as an attempt to appear more authentic. Tenya is extremely dedicated to his studies and is always eager to learn new things, regardless of whether they have anything to do with Heroics. As Class 1-A's representative, Tenya is obsessed with organization and discipline, expecting his classmates to follow suit, which more often than not annoys them due to his usually loud and overbearing nature. At the same time, Tenya takes personal responsibility for the safety and guidance of his classmates in times of crisis, considering it his duty as class representative to protect and keep them away from dangerous situations should they ever arise. Tenya knows how to quickly respond to emergencies, downplay panic and disorder among bystanders. Tenya is very humble, willing to admit to his mistakes, apologize for rude behavior, and improve in areas he lacks. Tenya values honor and fair play, becoming outraged if it turns out that he is being manipulated by more selfish personalities such as Mei Hatsume who used him during their battle in the U.A. Sports Festival to promote her inventions. Likewise, Tenya is usually very strict when it comes to following rules and regulations, opposing acts of heroism that go against the laws set in place, although over time, he has become less stringent when knowing that said actions must be done for the greater good. Being part of the highly-esteemed Iida Family, Tenya is proud of his lineage and works hard to meet his expectations. Tenya greatly admires his older brother, Tensei (also known as the Turbo Hero: Ingenium — which is the inspiration for Iida's own hero name) and aspires to become a similar hero. His relationship with his brother is so strong that after Stain severely injured Tensei, Tenya sought to avenge him by trying to hunt down and dispose of the Hero Killer himself. In doing so, he broke several rules of Hero work and laws, which otherwise would have been extremely uncharacteristic of him. Despite this, he realized the error of his actions and how his behavior was not that of a hero's. Following this incident, Tenya started over as a hero, and having inherited the alias of Ingenium, he now works hard to uphold his brother's Hero name and live up to the reputation of the Iida Family.

    Backstory: Born as the second son of the Iida Family, a family that has been in heroics for generations, Tenya aspired to be like his older brother, Tensei, who became a famous hero in his family, known as "Ingenium". Tenya once asked his older brother what motivated him to be a hero, to which Tensei replied that he wanted to be a 'cool' type of Hero that helps others when they are in need. When Tenya speaks of his admiration for his older brother, Tensei is joyful that Tenya looks up to him and says that he must be a great hero since Tenya admires him. Before attending U.A. High School, Tenya previously went to Soumei Junior High School, a prestigious private school.

    Quirk(s): Engine (エンジン, Enjin) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Tensei also has this Quirk. Engine grants the user engine-like protrusions somewhere on their bodies that allow them to move at extraordinary speeds. Thanks to Engine, Tenya and Tensei can both dash through long distances in a short amount of time. This makes them suited for missions that involve reaching a faraway place as fast as possible, chasing after an object moving at high speeds, or even escaping from an overwhelming threat. The mufflers found on Engine can be removed, with new ones regenerating in their place over time. These new mufflers may increase in power and efficiency, assuming the user puts themselves through massive strain due to Quirk usage, as Engine will naturally adapt to the newfound intensity. Removing the mufflers is noted to be quite a painful process though, as the user must forcefully pull them out. The two Ida brothers have access to Recipro Burst, an Ultimate Move that grants them a short-timed, yet immense burst of speed. This move overheats their engines, forcing them to undergo a cool-down period right after performing it. Engine appears to require fuel in order to work properly, similar to an actual vehicle. In Tenya's case, he drinks orange juice as a source of fuel for his Quirk, while carbonated drinks make him stall. Tensei appears to favor grapefruit juice instead. If they don't refuel themselves, their Quirks will gradually lose potency until they stop functioning altogether. Since Engine's Quirk Factor lies in the user's limbs, those being Tenya's legs and Tensei's arms, they would be unable to use this Quirk should they lose them. Engine's mufflers are also vulnerable to being clogged or blocked by certain substances, such as Shouto Todoroki's ice, which can hinder the user's speed and cause them to slowly halt. If the engine's mufflers go beyond their desired limit as they overheat, it'll cause them eventually to explode and damage themselves, stopping the speed and immediately hindering the user. Tenya engaged in hardcore, long-distance running as part of his training to increase his leg strength and stamina to run faster for more extended periods. During the Quirk Apprehension Test, he ran fifty meters in 3.04 in third gear, meaning he ran at an average speed of 51.29 kilometers per hour (36.79 miles per hour), making his maximum speed exceedingly above this.

    Relationships:

    • Tensei Iida (Older brother who Tenya respects a lot and looks up to).
    • Class 1-A (As the class representative of Class 1-A, and thus their official leader, Ida takes his responsibilities very seriously. While most of the class tends to be exasperated by his rigid way of leading the class and overall uptight demeanor - usually causing them to disobey his more inconsequential demands, much to his dismay - all of them value his role as a leader and are willing to follow his command whenever necessary).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Good friends — though in the beginning Tenya found Izuku annoying due to his mumbling and reprimanded him for taking light of the prestige of U.A. High school. However, after observing him during the U.A. Entrance Exam, Tenya is greatly impressed by Izuku's heroic actions as he saves Ochako Uraraka instead of focusing on himself in the test. When they meet again, Tenya apologizes for his previous judgment of Izuku as he believes that Izuku had some kind of intuition that he himself lacked. Along with Ochako, Tenya is one of the first people to befriend Izuku on their first day of school, a friendship that Tenya mentions surprised him).
    • Ochako Uraraka (Good friends alongside Izuku).
    • Momo Yaoyorozu (Friends).
    • Tsuyu Asui (Friends. They can be seen sitting at lunch together, both hanging out with Izuku and Ochako).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (Because of their equally forceful personalities and very different personal values, Katsuki and Tenya do not get along well. Katsuki looks down on Tenya's privileged background and dislikes being ordered around by him, whereas Tenya disapproves and frequently reprimands Katsuki for his improper behavior, questioning his intentions to become a hero. This is especially apparent when they are forced to partner up for the Battle Trial).
    • Shouto Todoroki (Tenya and Shouto get along well. At first, their relationship is only by mutual agreement, where they formed a team to advance in the U.A. Sports Festival. Later, during the tournament, Tenya loses against Shouto in their battle, although he does not bear a grudge as a result of it. Their friendship begins to form during the Stain incident. Shouto realizes that Tenya is seeking revenge against the Hero Killer for severely injuring his older brother, Tensei. During the battle, Shouto calls out to Tenya with strong words to set him on the right path, and together with Izuku, they cooperate to defeat and arrest Stain. Later, Tenya thanks Shouto and Izuku and apologizes for his behavior. Their relationship has improved over time).
    • Minoru Mineta (Tenya is usually the first to chastise Minoru for being an unabashed pervert. Minoru, in turn, views Tenya as a killjoy, prudish, and a nerd. Despite this, due to their friendships with Izuku, Tenya and Minoru are often seen with each other, and mostly appear to have a neutral if not friendly relationship).
    • Mei Hatsume (Tenya doesn't like Mei for taking advantage of his noble nature and sportsmanship in the U.A. Sports Festival, when she tricks him into to promoting her inventions during their battle. This dislike still remains with Tenya, despite her apologizing, as seen in their second encounter. His disliking for Mei escalated when she forgets and dismisses his name, while also making him unwillingly use one of her inventions that he rejected, going as far as to call her a "madwoman". He openly voices his disliking of her to Power Loader, although Mei simply does not seem to care).
    • Manual (Tenya took internship with the Pro Hero Manual and trained under him. Manual sends in a nomination for Tenya because he felt he could relate to him on some level, although he is surprised that Tenya accepted his invitation as having better options. He later deduces that Tenya only accepted the nomination in order to search Hosu for the Hero Killer, and his grave aura makes Manual slightly uncomfortable at first. Manual's suspicion eventually proved to be right, with Tenya leaving to confront Stain and avenge his brother. Tenya ignores Manual's warnings against pursuing vengeance and is scolded for it after the incident. In the end however, Tenya profusely apologizes and promises not to repeat his mistake, putting them on good terms once again).
    • Stain (Tenya despises despises Stain, the villain who severely injured his older brother Tensei, and ended his career as a Hero after crippling Tensei from the waist down. Tenya seeks out Stain in Hosu during his workplace experience and confronts him in a rage. Stain first regards Tenya as a child and tells him to leave, but then sees the vengeance in him and compares him to the "fake heroes" that he desires to purge from society. He then scolds the young hero over his selfish desires of revenge over saving the Pro Hero he was about to kill. Despite the fact that Tenya will never forgive him for what he did to his brother, he acknowledges that Stain was right about him and learns from his mistakes, resolving to start over as a hero. He also understands why some people start to admire Stain despite his criminal past).

    Abilities:

    Entry settings

    Full name: Ochako Uraraka (麗日お茶子, Uraraka Ochako). Hero name: Uravity (ウラビティ, Urabiti). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero In Training. Age: 15. Sex/Gender: Female. Birthday: December 27th. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Mie Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: B. Seat in Class 1-A: 5. Fighting Style: Support Combat; Gunhead Martial Arts. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Ochako is a fair-skinned girl with auburn hair and irises that match her hair color. She has perpetual pink blush marks on her cheeks, and her eyes are large and round with thick upper lashes and pronounced lower lashes. Her hair is above shoulder-length with short bangs hanging above her eyebrows, and the style is bobbed with two long strands framing her face. She has small, pink, thick pads on her fingertips similar to the digits of an animal's paws; she uses these when activating and deactivating her Quirk. Her body is slender and curvy, standing at 156 centimeters/5'1½" feet tall.

    Clothing: At U.A, she wears the regular U.A. uniform for female students. It is topped with a gray dress jacket, two teal stripes, two pockets with folds, and two golden buttons. Underneath, she wears a white dress shirt, a red tie with a small, golden button, and a teal pleated skirt. She also wears brown dress shoes and black tights instead of the usual knee-high socks worn by most other female students.

    Hero costume: Ochako's hero costume consists of a black, full-body suit with a pale pink design down the middle of her torso, topped with two black semi-spheres on her chest, two pink stripes starting at her midsection, a deep pink choker, and two-toned pink sleeves with cuffs. It also has matching pale and deep pink-colored accessories, including round gauntlets with handles, which are used to increase and decrease her blood pressure, chunky, knee-high boots with deep pink shock-absorbent soles and grey heels that have stiff springs in them to soften landings, and a two-piece belt with a round buckle. She sometimes wears matching headgear with a tinted visor as well, which is used to lessen stress on her ear canals. Her accessories are designed to press her acupuncture points, but the tightness of her costume was an error due to her not being specific enough in her request for its design (though it's implied that she has grown into it as she still hasn't gotten it replaced).

    Potential Hero Costume Upgrade: Ochako's hero costume can be upgraded to contain only one pink stripe starting at her midsection and the belt around her waist has been minimized, no longer having a buckle. Her arm gauntlets can also be altered to include four raised openings capable of shooting grappling hooks, along with the handles being more protruding, and her boots could have small holes on both sides. Her headgear is can be raised higher, with the deep pink parts being longer, and no longer possessing a visor. This upgrade may occur during the Hero-Work Studies, or if some event causes the need for Ochako's hero costume to be upgraded.

    Personality/History: Ochako is a bubbly and kind girl who can at times be incredibly blunt without noticing, as well as a bit of an airhead at times. Other students have described Ochako as "the most laid-back girl" in her class. Her reactions can be exaggerated and humorous in a similar Way to Midoriya's: she often becomes amused at certain personality traits and quirks others exhibit, bursting into laughter at times, which she tries to suppress. Ochako is warm, cute and lively and thinks about everything positively, though she is objective enough to see flaws and virtues. She is generally empathetic and friendly to those she meets, and she will try to help or defend anyone who is kind to her or needs assistance. She is very good at reading people, understanding the reasons for Midoriya and Bakugou's rivalry, and being the first to notice when the usually collected Tsuyu was upset. Her empathy and kindness are also seen in how well she gets along with her classmates. To add to her positivity, Ochako was also the one who inspired the positive meaning of Izuku's nickname "Deku", finding it similar to the Japanese phrase "to be able to do" (できる, dekiru?), causing Izuku to accept his previously insulting nickname and later choose it as his hero name. who works hard in order to become a stronger hero. Despite her cheery and sometimes ditzy demeanor, Ochako can take on an extremely determined, focused, and somewhat intimidating attitude when the situation demands and requires it. This side of her personality can surprise those who are used to her generally bubbly nature, and it tends to appear during competitive situations like the U.A. Sports Festival. She is shown to be surprisingly strategic and even though she wasn't above making some impulsive or reckless decisions, she does subvert those moments and become much smarter over time. When it comes to her chosen path as a Hero, Ochako is unwavering and dislikes being underestimated, even in the face of an overwhelming force. Ochako hails from a poor family that works on construction business, though it isn't particularly successful and their Quirks aren't compatible with it, affecting their efficiency and lifestyle as her parents worked themselves to exhaustion. Because of this, Ochako tends to become quickly excited or surprised over little things, even losing her composure when faced with luxury, to the point of comical fainting. Outside of school, she has been depicted as frugal and occasionally stingy since she goes to extreme lengths to save money, including sleeping, so she doesn't waste oxygen or skipping meals to preserve food. Ochako's parents are her main drive to becoming a hero, and she desires, above all else, to earn money to give them a comfortable life. She is brazenly honest about her priorities and doesn't hide her pursuit of heroism being in large part due to money, despite her embarrassment over admitting so. While money was a factor in her decision to become a hero, Ochako dreamed of becoming one before realizing the extent of her parent's monetary struggles, as she admired their capacity to bring smiles to people's faces. Regarding heroism, Ochako has shown more preference towards rescue, being a fan of Thirteen for her expertise in the area. She is aware of her physical limitations and chooses the combat-oriented hero Gunhead for her internship to increase her fighting repertoire. Consequently, Ochako developed a new sense of battle awareness and has become a more instinctive fighter. Ochako is very inspired by her classmates, especially Izuku, whom she finds incredibly admirable for his strength and compassion. Ochako has developed a crush on him due to this and their close friendship, resulting in her attempts to follow his example, for better or for worse. While he inspires her, Ochako also acknowledges that heroism takes priority over her romantic feelings and does her best to continue to grow while keeping them in check. Izuku has also caused her to consider who protects heroes when in need since he continually throws himself into dangerous situations; this prominently shows how deeply Ochako cares about him and others. whom she finds incredibly admirable for his strength and compassion. Additionally, Ochako's feelings for Izuku also result in her showing an occasional and subtle jealous side, which tends to be present when other girls get close to Izuku or converse highly with him. This jealousy is best displayed during his meetings and interactions with Mei Hatsume — who in particular has triggered some upsetting memories for Ochako, stemming from when the support student landed on top of Izuku after one of her inventions exploded. Despite this, Ochako is not spiteful and often tries to hide or dismiss this feeling whenever it appears.

    Backstory: Ochako Uraraka's parents own a construction business that hasn't gotten a particularly significant amount of business in years, which affected their lifestyle. Neither of their Quirks are compatible with the jobs, but their daughter's is. Even as a small child, Ochako desired to help her family out in any way she could, wanting to work for them and use her Quirk to help them make money. That way, they could reduce labor costs and sell their heavy lifting equipment. However, her father always told Ochako that the way to truly make him and her mother happy would be for their daughter to achieve her own dreams. As a result, she aspires to become a Pro Hero, wanting to help people and make enough money to give her parents an easy life. It was due to her parents exhaustion that Ochako, even at a young age, always wanted and loved to see people happy. Whenever she had an encounter with a hero, she found herself always looking to the cheering people that were happy at the hero's presence.

    Quirk(s): Zero Gravity (無重力, Zero Gurabiti) — Emitter-Type Quirk: Zero Gravity allows the the user to remove the effects of gravity from solid things upon touching them with the pads on their fingertips. The targets lose their gravitational pull the moment Ochako makes contact with them, effectively making them weightless. Through Zero Gravity, Ochako can make anything solid float in mid-air as long as they are within the weight limit of her Quirk, which is around three tons. She is able to activate or cancel her Quirk's effects by closing her fingers together. As part of her training, Ochako put herself into plastic sphere that would tumble down a mountain, all in effort to get her inner ear canals used to zero gravity and reduce nausea, all while increasing how much weight she can lift. • Zero Gravity's Quirk Awakening Effect: After undergoing a Quirk Awakening, Zero Gravity becomes capable of spread from one target to others she didn't touch in a domino fashion. In addition, Ochako's Awakening removed her weight limit of three tons. She can also generate gravitational bubbles that make anything they touch float, while removing the need to physically touch her opponents or objects.

    Relationships:

    • Family (Ochako loves and cares for her parents very deeply, even taking on the decision to become a hero regardless of the dangers for their sake. She wishes to make money as a hero to give her parents a good life. On the other hand, her parents clearly love and support Ochako very much, wanting her to look out for her own happiness instead of help with their business. When Ochako returns home after the U.A. Sports Festival, she‘s met by her parents who throw their surprised daughter a party for her efforts. Ochako is teary-eyed at the visit but is very happy to see them again).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Close friend since they've met, with Ochako also having developed a crush on Izuku. She can also be jealous when Izuku interacts with another girl — or a potential love interest).
    • Tenya Iida (Since they are both very close to Izuku, they become close friends with each other as well. Ochako's amazed to hear Tenya is from a prestigious family of superheroes and that he is, therefore, the brother of Ingenium. Ochako says that she knew he had some form of a rich background and was impressed by him. Similarly, Tenya is shown to be supportive of Ochako's reason for becoming a hero, stating that there's nothing wrong with trying to improve one's state of living).
    • Tsuyu Asui (Close friends. They are on a first-name basis with each other. Tsuyu lets Ochako call her "Tsu", a nickname that only allows her close friends to call her. They care and protect when the other is in danger).
    • Mina Ashido (They are seen together several times and are good friends).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (At first, Ochako avoids interacting with Katsuki due to his aggressive behavior. They first meet in the training fight, but Katsuki is so focused on fighting Izuku that he ignores Ochako. For his part, Katsuki doesn't bother to talk to her and doesn't recall her face or name, as seen in the Sports Festival while she was frightened that she has to fight him. However, in their match, he was thinking less of her at the beginning, but through their whole match, he was impressed by her ingenuity, mostly because he realized she is close friends with Izuku, showcasing that she reminds him of Izuku. Katsuki acknowledged Ochako's strength and determination, by saying her last name as a sign of respect. For her part, Ochako stopped being afraid of him since then and felt grateful to Katsuki for treating her like a strong opponent. After the event, the two heroes-in-training still want nothing to do with one another, but they do respect each other a little. This was seen when Katsuki goes out of his way to say that Ochako isn't frail, even when his classmates, except Izuku, said that she was).
    • Mei Hatsume (Ochako has a somewhat rocky relationship with Mei, due to the latter's extremely direct nature and wild inventions. She also dislikes Mei's "awfully close" mannerisms when around others (as she has a habit of violating peoples' personal space). While all this makes Ochako extremely uncomfortable and slightly jealous when Mei is close to Izuku, she manages to remain polite and civil. One time she remembered when Izuku saw Mei's cleavage, and she punched herself in the face to stop thinking about it).
    • Shouta Aizawa (Teacher. Their first meeting was not all good as she was put off by his sudden arrival and deadpan manner. She heard of his hero identity from Izuku and noted she didn't seem familiar with him after he erased Izuku's Quirk. Though there isn't much interaction between them, she respects him as her instructor and listened to him when he had the class flee U.S.J. after actual villains show up).
    • Gunhead (Ochako interned under Gunhead, wanting to see how a combat hero like him works. They are close enough to tease the other at times, recognizing their strengths and weaknesses. Because of their time together, Ochako has developed a combat instinct that tends to awake in situations and help her. Ochako also thinks the way he talks and acts is cute which contrasts his intimidating appearance).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: At first glance, Ochako doesn't seem like one of the strongest combatants, but over her time at U.A. High School, she has drastically improved her combat prowess to become a more competent combatant. Her abilities earned her 3rd place in the U.A. Entrance Exam and 10th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Ochako's main battle tactic consists of getting close to her opponent and using her Quirk, Zero Gravity, to directly affect them, causing her targets to continuously float up and lose their footing, drastically inhibiting their fighting capabilities. Ochako also utilizes floating rubble as projectile attacks, or remove the weight of heavy structures, holding onto them to be used as improvised melee weapons. Ochako can use Zero Gravity to remove her weight, increase her agility, and create decoys by making objects levitate above the ground. Ochako's overall abilities make her one of the strongest female students in her class. During the U.S.J. Incident, Ochako was able to temporarily immobilize Kurogiri, thereby giving Hanta Sero and Rikidou Satou an opening to subdue the villain even further. Ochako has also proven her mettle at the U.A. Sports Festival, wherein she was pitted against Katsuki Bakugou, one of the most powerful students in Class 1-A. Despite having a disadvantage at close range and knowing Katsuki's abilities far exceeded her own, Ochako managed to catch him by surprise a few times during their battle and pressure him into using his full power.
    • Gunhead Martial Arts (ガンヘッド マーシャル アーツ, Gan Heddo Māsharu Ātsu): When she took internship under Gunhead, Ochako was trained in martial arts to attack at close range more effectively, benefiting her Quirk in combat. G.M.A. is designed for close-quarters combat and self-defense, that prioritizes grappling, grabbing and hold techniques. The objective of this fighting style is to cause the submission of the opponent as soon as possible, using for this purpose several movements to immobilize, neutralize and facilitate their capture. It also has techniques that allow the quick disarmament of the adversary if they carry a weapon. Ochako is still training so she can master this fighting style.
    • Enhanced Strength: Ochako's strength is a blend of her physical conditioning, the powerful applications of her Quirk, and her mental resilience. While she may not have the raw physical power of some of her peers, her strategic use of Zero Gravity, combined with her combat training and determination, make her a strong and capable hero. Her ability to lift and manipulate heavy objects, coupled with her tactical intelligence, ensures she can effectively handle various combat scenarios and support her allies.
    • Enhanced Speed: In terms of raw speed, her agility, quick reflexes, and creative use of her Quirk make her a swift and agile combatant. Her ability to move quickly and strategically in battle situations, coupled with her enhanced reflexes from combat training, ensures that she can hold her own against powerful opponents.
    • Enhanced Durability: Ochako Uraraka's durability, while not as prominent as her other abilities, is noteworthy given the rigorous challenges she faces. Her durability can be analyzed in terms of physical endurance, mental resilience, and adaptability in combat situations. Her fight against Katsuki Bakugou during the U.A. Sports Festival showcases her ability to endure intense physical strain despite the overwhelming power of her opponent.
    • Tactical Intellect: While Ochako isn't the most academically efficient of her class, she makes up for it with her strategic mind and ability to deduce an enemy's weaknesses and combat style soon after the battle begins. Ochako likely developed this to help cover for her initial lack of direct combat abilities. When she isn't facing opponents in close-quarters combat, Ochako takes advantage of ravaged areas by using her Quirk to gather wreckage without an opponent noticing, exploiting the collateral damage of ensued destruction.
    • Indomitable Will: Ochako's willpower is one of her greatest strengths. It is characterized by her persistent pursuit of her goals, her ability to confront and overcome fears, and her steadfast commitment to her ideals as a hero. From the beginning, Ochako demonstrates a strong sense of resolve and purpose. Her initial motivation to become a hero stem from a desire to provide financial support for her family, but this evolves as she gains experience and faces challenges.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Skill Release (解除, Kaijo): Ochako can press her fingertips together and make whatever she has touched stop floating. This move is first used on Villain Bots, and when she saved Izuku from falling to his death, at the U.A. Entrance Exam. • Meteor Shower (メテオストーム, Meteoshawaa): After floating a large quantity of rubble surrounding her, Ochako can collect the collaterally damaged structures, forming a giant meteor of debris above her opponents, which she then causes to fall. She first used this move during her match against Katsuki.
    • Comet Home Run (彗星ホームラン, Suisei Hōmuran): After touching some rubble and a pillar to make them weightless, Ochako uses the pillar to forcefully hit the rubble at her enemy. This move was first used to distract Tenya during the Battle Trial.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves: • Meteor Fafrotskies (メテオファフロッキーズ, Meteo Fafurokkīzu): In conjunction with Tsuyu, the two rise and throw several pieces of debris at the targets. It is a stronger, multi-ranged version of Meteor Shower. • Zero Satellites (ゼロ・サテライツ, Zero Sateraitsu): Being knocked towards some nearby debris, Ochako floats it and with the addition of grappling hooks or similar items at her disposal, attacking her opponent by slamming the debris straight at them. It is close-range version of Meteor Shower.

    • Gravity Plus (グラビティ プラス, Gurabiti Purasu): Using Gunhead Martial Arts, after touching her opponent to make them float, Ochako then grabs them by the arm and throws them over her shoulder to the ground.
    • Spacewalk (スペースウォーク, Supēsuwōku): Using grappling hooks or similar items, Ochako hooks onto an opponent and reels herself in, closing the distance between herself and her opponent, all while under the effects of Zero Gravity.

    Equipment:

    • Hero Costume: All aspects of Ochako's Hero Costume were made for the sole purpose of helping Ochaco minimize the negative effects of her Quirk.
    • Uraraka Helmet (うららかメット, Uraraka Metto): This equipment reduces the stimulation of the semicircular canals located inside each ear.
    • Uraraka Wrists (うららかリスト, Uraraka Risuto): This equipment's interior contains a device that clamps down and releases like a blood pressure gauge, stimulating the pressure points around the wrist area that suppress nausea.

    • Uraraka Leg (うららかレッグ, Uraraka Reggu): This equipment's design was to break her fall from elevation. The sole at her toes is equipped with a shock-absorbing cushion and her heel contains a reinforced spring to soften the shock.

    Potential Future Equipment:

    • Uraraka Wrist Upgrade: They can be upgraded to include around 4 grappling hooks each.
    • Uraraka Leg Upgrade: They can be upgraded to include thrusters at the heels of her feet, allowing Ochako to propel herself through the air.

    • Ochako's surname contains the kanji for "beautiful, lovely" (麗, urara) and "day" (日, ka), and her first name contains "o" in hiragana (お o), which has no special meaning; however, the Chinese translation lists it as "imperial" (御 o), "tea" (茶, cha) and "child" (子, ko).

    Full Name: Mashirao Ojiro (尾白猿夫, Ojiro Mashirao). Hero name: Martial Arts Hero: Tailman (武闘ヒーロー テイルマン, Butō Hīrō Teiruman). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 16. Birthday: May 28. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tokyo, Japan). Blood Type: O. Family: Mashirao wad mainly raised by his grandfather. Seat in Class 1-A: 6. Fighting Style: Close Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Mashirao is a fair-skinned boy with short blond hair swept to the front of his head, thin eyes with no lower eyelashes and black irises. His body is muscular and athletic, with a long, thick and strong prehensile tail that's nearly hairless save for the tip — which contains bushy blonde hair. He is 169 centimeters/5'6½" feet tall.

    Clothing: Unlike the other students in his class, he wears pale gray sneakers with his school uniform instead of the brown dress shoes worn by most everyone else — except Midoriya — and he has the bottom button of his blazer he leaves casually undone. His uniform and casual clothing also has an open space for his tail to fit and move comfortably.

    Hero costume: Mashirao's hero costume is a plain karate gi, tied with a black belt with blue accessories, with his collar partially lined with fur, but only on his left side. He also wears black boots with sand blue details and blue fingerless gloves. For Mashirao's winter costume, he wears a long black sleeve shirt under his gi, fur on both sides of his collar, and black gloves instead of blue.

    Personality/History: Mashirao has a very calm and noble attitude and a profound sense of dignity, which prevents him from accepting results he doesn't feel he earned with his own abilities. He is also described as a hard worker. Along with a strong sense of dignity, Mashirao can be described as sheepish and bashful, not very often enjoying the spotlight and being easily embarrassed. He is humble yet also reliable and focused during hero work. A recurring joke is that others view Mashirao as "plain," which profoundly upsets him, showing that he's sensitive and self-conscious about his personality and abilities. He tends to be shocked quite easily. Occasionally, Mashirao will hang his tail over his shoulder, presumably to take the weight of it off of his lower body. Additionally, when something excites him, he wags his tail. Mashirao comes from a line of martial artists, which started at his grandfather.

    Quirk(s): Tail (尻尾, Shippo) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Tail grants the user a prehensile appendage that extends from their lower posterior. Mashirao's tail is very bulky, being longer and wider than any of his regular human limbs. Its tip contains a tuft of blonde hair, reflecting Mashirao's normal hair color. Tail effectively functions as a third limb. It's strong enough to break objects made of metal, capture enemies and support Mashirao's own weight. Mashirao has been shown using his tail hairs to point in a direction akin to the finger of a hand, but it is unconfirmed if he could use them in more complex operations like a real hand. As part of his training, Mashirao continuously used his tail to attack a body-hardened Eijirou Kirishima, and with each hit, the strength and durability of Mashirao's Tail increased. Tail, like any other part of Mashirao's body, is susceptible to damage. And being a permanent mutation, Tail makes it difficult for Mashirao to lie down or sit. He also requires tailor-made clothing in order to accommodate his particular anatomy. As part of his training, Mashirao continuously used his tail to attack a body-hardened Eijirou Kirishima, and with each hit, the strength and durability of Mashirao's Quirk increased.

    Relationships:

    • Tohru Hagakure (Good friends).
    • Denki Kaminari (Friends).
    • Kyouka Jirou (Friends).
    • Izuku Midoriya (They get along well, although Mashirao didn't team up with him for the Cavalry Battle since Izuku was the main target with ten million points, apologizing before moving away from him. Despite that Mashirao tried to warn him about Hitoshi Shinso and his Brainwashing Quirk, Izuku also stood up for him after Hitoshi insulted him. Mashirao worried for him but was relieved he emerged from the fight victorious).
    • Hitoshi Shinsou (Mashirao resigns from the tournament event in the Sports Festival due to being manipulated by Hitoshi, wanting to save his pride and dignity by doing so. As a result of Hitoshi's action, Mashirao has come to dislike him because he prevented him from doing his best. When Hitoshi approaches Izuku, Mashirao warns Izuku not to respond to his provocations).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Mashirao has proven himself to be a relatively capable combatant regarding physical abilities. His skills earned him 7th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Mashirao uses his Quirk, Tail, to deliver direct attacks or assist his movements in battle. His fighting style involves combining his prehensile tail with his knowledge of martial arts to engage enemies in close-range combat, performing fast and acrobatic techniques. Tail plays a vital role in Mashirao's speed and mobility, as he can boost himself in the air by slapping his tail on the ground with sufficient force, allowing him to bypass obstacles on the ground. However, Ectoplasm noted that, despite the tailed hero's combat efficiency, Mashirao fights predictably, as tailed humans like him tend to move in a pattern that can be easily exploited. To eliminate this factor, Mashirao improved the fundamentals of his movements to become less predictable in combat. At the U.S.J., Mashirao was more than capable of singlehandedly defeating multiple low-tier members of the League of Villains.
    • Keen Intellect: Mashirao is known to be quite intelligent, scoring 8th place in the midterms, displaying his skill in academics. At the U.A. Sports Festival, Mashirao withdrew from the competition following the Cavalry Battle, having realized that Hitoshi Shinso used his Quirk to control him, Nirengeki Shoda, and Yuga Aoyama. While he didn't yet fully understand the mechanics behind Hitoshi's Brainwashing Quirk, Mashirao knew that speaking to the Class 1-C student was a factor, hence why he warned Izuku Midoriya against doing so. Mashirao also seems to be knowledgeable of various workout techniques as he meticulously explained the exercise Izuku was performing throughout one of their classes, which involved the latter making trembling-like movements; the Isometric muscle contraction that’s needed to hold one's body above a seat makes it an easy way to workout without having to move.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Tornado Tail Dance (尾空旋舞, Bikū Senbu): Mashirao spins in mid-air, hitting anything around him with his tail.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Fist of the Tail: Swamp Smack Spin (尾拳・沼田打旋風, Biken Nutauchi Senpū): A defensive technique where Mashirao spins horizontally with his tail stretched out, generating enough force to repel anything close to him.

    Stats:

    • Power: 4/6 (B).
    • Speed: 4/6 (B).
    • Technique: 4/6 (B).
    • Intelligence: 4/6 (B).
    • Cooperativeness: 4/6 (B).
    • All-Aroundness: 4/6 (B).

    Trivia:

    • According to Mashirao's Volume 2 profile: • His favorite thing is martial arts. • People like Mashirao, who possess mutant appendages, can order custom-made clothing that suit their needs.
    • Mashirao's known U.A. data is as follows: • Student No 6 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 7th during the Quirk Apprehension Test. • His 50-Meter Dash record is 5.49 seconds. • Ranked 8th in Class 1-A's mid-term grades. • Ranked in the Top 42 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. Originally ranked in the Top 16, but he forfeited his participation before the final challenge.
    • Mashirao's surname contains the kanji for "tail" (尾, o) and "white" (白, jiro), and his first name contains monkey (猿, mashira), and man (夫, o).
    • With his birthday taking place in late May (two days before Yuuga's), Mashirao (currently) is the second oldest student in Class 1-A, as everyone was 15 when they started U.A.'s school year in early April.
    • In Izuku Midoriya's hero analysis notes, Mashirao is referred to as the "Hero Department's King of Normal". • He is also said to have a "Tsukkomi" (Straight Man) disposition.
    • According to Kohei Horikoshi (the author of My Hero Acadamia)'s Q&A in Volume Next: • Mashirao thinks Izuku Midoriya's shirts are kinda cool. • The only thing that isn't "normal" about him is his fashion sense.

    Full Name: Denki Kaminari (上鳴電気, Kaminari Denki). Hero Name: Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt (スタンガンヒーロー・チャージズマ, Sutan Gan Hīrō: Chājizuma). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 16. Birthday: June 29. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Saitama Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: O. Seat in Class 1-A: 7. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Denki is a light-skinned boy with messy golden-blond hair parted to the right with a black lightning-shaped streak on the left of his side fringe, which is angled to partially obscure his left eye. He has slanted, somewhat triangular golden eyes and notably small eyebrows. He's slimmer than most male students in his class, with little visible muscle mass. He is 168 centimeters/5'6" feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours he wears the standard male U.A. uniform, without anything out of the ordinary.

    Hero costume: Denki's hero costume consists of a plain white undershirt, an open black jacket with a white lightning pattern across his back, with matching pants with two lines running down his legs and brown shoes, and a single, square-shaped earphone over his right ear, resembling a radio antenna sticking out of the top.

    Potential Hero Costume Upgrade: A potential upgrade for Denki's hero costume can consists of a white V-neck shirt and a slightly shorter black jacket with fewer white patterns, only two near the hem and collar, and a yellow-rimmed white lightning bolt around each of his shoulders. He can still wears matching black pants and brown shoes, but the pants only have a small white zig-zag near each of their cuffs. He can also wears a white belt that holds his pointer ammo. Around his right wrist, he can wear a wristband with a circular mechanism from which he can shoot disc-shaped Pointers, which can aid him in aiming his Quirk. He can also wear a black choker with a silver buckle on the left side and a headset with a blue-tinted visor.

    Personality/History: Denki is a friendly, social, and energetic boy who enjoys hanging out with others. He is rather casual when interacting with other people, including the generally unfriendly Katsuki Bakugou, although he's not above petty complaining or overreacting if he feels annoyed or shocked enough. Denki may come off as blunt and reckless at times but is always well-meaning. He is also the type of person who encourages others to be themselves and be more comfortable doing what they like. Denki is somewhat flirtatious towards the girls in and out of his class, sometimes accompanying Minoru Mineta on his schemes and trying to pass himself off as a smooth talker. He is not very lucky with his approaches, though, frequently having his advances ignored or outright rejected by those he asks out. Denki is also a bit of a jokester and sometimes teases others with playful comments. Overall, Denki is interested in appearing cool and trendy to impress people but has a shallow understanding of how to do so properly. Because of that, he is easily influenced by what's popular or stylish at the moment, even if it's due to villain action. Denki isn't very academically bright, requiring massive help with studying due to his general disinterest and neglect of school duties. He does not appear to pay much attention in classes, gets quickly bored from lectures, and suffers anxiety attacks when dealing with tests, at which point he becomes increasingly agitated and aggressive. Frequently showing a lack of tact and smarts in and outside of school, Denki may give off the impression of being stupid or foolish, leading others to throw snide remarks at him, especially Kyoka Jiro, or underestimate his capabilities as a hero. Despite this, Denki can show surprising knowledge about specific areas such as literature, art, and music, possessing an extensive vocabulary that shows up now and then. Denki becomes distraught when put into stressful situations, appearing spineless and incompetent to foes and allies alike. During combat, he is swift to panic and may accidentally activate his Quirk in the face of imminent danger, leaving himself vulnerable. He becomes more reluctant to use his full power when there are allies close to him, being afraid of hurting them through collateral damage from his explosive bolts. He becomes more confident in his fighting abilities when he is assured that all his allies will be safe from his powers. He does not tolerate others looking down on him and his classmates, and will defend them if necessary. Whenever Denki exceeds his wattage limit, he loses his ability to discharge electricity and his entire personality changes into that of a giggling idiot for a certain period of time until he reverts back to normal. In this state, he is always giving two thumbs-ups as a way of letting others know that he is okay.

    Quirk(s): Electrification (帯電, Taiden) — Emitter-Type Quirk. Electrification gives the user the ability to store electricity and discharge it out of their body as a sort of protective aura that electrocutes anyone through contact. With his Quirk activated, Denki gains a defense mechanism that shocks those who touch him, leaving them slightly paralyzed. If he emits enough electricity, it automatically discharges in all directions, shocking anyone close to him, regardless of contact. Due to this being a light-generating Quirk, it has a natural advantage against Fumikage Tokoyami's Dark Shadow. Electrification also allows Denki to act as a lightning rod and absorb electric discharges from enemies. Electrification works better at close-range, being impractical for long-range. While it's possible to increase the Quirk's output for strong areas of effective attacks, Denki has no natural way to direct the excess energy and runs the risk of hitting his voltage limit as well, potentially putting himself and allies in compromising situations. If he exceeds his wattage limit, Denki short-circuits his own brain, turning himself dumb for a one-hour period and being unable to activate his Quirk, or even do anything for that matter, until he recovers, although he does appear to retain minimal awareness of his surroundings. In this state, he becomes harmless and thus easier to defeat, capture, or hold hostage. It is possible to protect oneself from Denki's electricity through insulation materials. This also makes him vulnerable to Quirks that don't conduct electricity, like other electric-type Quirks. As part of his training, Denki ran his currents of electricity through a high-capacity battery so he can handle larger amounts of electricity.

    Relationships:

    • Kyouka Jirou (Good friends who Denki most commonly pairs with. They interact a lot — though they tend to argue a lot, but it's friendly banter rather than genuine quarreling. Denki is very supportive of Kyouka and her hobbies).
    • Eijirou Kirishima (Close friends since they sit next to each-other in class).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (Denki likes to tease him occasionally, occasionally addressing him as "Kacchan", Izuku's affectionate nickname for him, usually when he wants to grab his attention).
    • Minoru Mineta (Friends who occasionally hang out with each other due to their shared perverted interest in girls — though Denki is much, much tamer compared to Minoru in the perviness scale, as Denki respects the girls' privacy and knows when to not take things too far).
    • Mina Ashido (Good friends).
    • Hanta Sero (Good friends).
    • Mashirao Ojiro (Mashirao sits in front of Denki in class and the two are often pictured talking to each other in the background. Denki seems to have a fixation on Mashirao's tail and often plays with it and pets the hair at the end of it. The two of them appear to have become friends as time goes on, Denki sometimes confiding in him with certain things).
    • Momo Yaoyorozu (Good friends who pair up on occasion).
    • Izuku Midoriya (On good terms, occasionally imteract with one another. Denki also considers Izuku as "very diligent").

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: While Denki doesn't possess any direct combat abilities, he compensates for this with his moderate handle on the destructive, widespread power of his Quirk. When using Electrification, Denki gains a defense mechanism that shocks anyone who comes into contact with him, leaving them slightly, if not wholly, paralyzed. As a result, Denki can be somewhat difficult to face in battle, especially for those that rely on close-quarters combat. Denki can also discharge large amounts of this electricity allowing it to cover long distance at the cost of not having control of where it goes, striking all everything around him with or without physical contact. This aspect of Electrification makes Denki very effective in battles involving many opponents, but it can also turn him into a burden if there are allies around who can't protect themselves from his bolts. Denki can also use his electrokinetics to turn himself into a makeshift lightning rod to diffuse the electrical attacks of his opponents. Denki incapacitated several villains that had surrounded him, Kyoka, and Momo at the U.S.J Incident and single-handedly short-circuited a giant Villain Bot at the U.A. Sports Festival.
    • Tactical Intellect: Despite not being one of the more intelligent members of Class 1-A, Denki possesses some strategic and tactical skills.
    • Special Talents: Denki is highly skilled at playing the electric guitar and can draw detailed portraits.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Human Stun Gun (人間スタンガン, Ningen Sutan Gan): Being put into a dangerous situation, Denki defensively discharges electricity, electrocuting anyone within close range. This attack involves a medium amount of discharged electricity.
    • Indiscriminate Shock: 1.3 Million Volts (無差別放電130万V, Musabetsu Hōden Hyakusanjū-man Boruto): Denki releases a large amount of electricity to shock everyone near him.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Indiscriminate Shock 2 Million Volts (無差別放電200万V, Musabetsu Hōden Nihyaku-man Boruto): Denki is capable of increasing the output of his Indiscriminate Shock to 2 million volts, though this causes his brain to short circuit faster.
    • Target Electo (ターゲットエレクト, Tāgetto Erekuto): Using a sharpshooting gear, Denki fires a straight line of electricity towards the target(s) on his opponent, leaving them electrocuted and keeping allies safe.
    • Electromagnetic Rail Gun (電磁投射砲, Denji Tōsha-hō): Using her Creation Quirk, Momo Yaoyorozu summons a giant railgun, and Denki uses his Electrification Quirk to power it, propelling a projectile to high speeds, shooting their opponent.

    Stats:

    • Power: 4/6 (B+).
    • Speed: 3/6 (C).
    • Technique: 4/6 (B).
    • Intelligence: 1/6 (E).
    • Cooperativeness: 6/6 (S).
    • Yayyy: 6/6 (S).

    Equipment:

    • Communication Earpiece: Denki wears an earpiece on his right ear that allows him to channel his electricity and create electrical communication signals. This allows him to communicate with other channels remotely. However, signals can also be blocked out by outside electrical disturbance.

    Potential Future Equipment:

    • Sharpshooting Gear: A device Denki can wear on his right forearm that fires the pointers. It contains a dial that allows Denki to choose the pointer he wants his electricity to be directed towards in case multiple pointers are set up. • Pointers: Disc-shaped projectiles that stick to targets. When Denki releases his electricity, it is attracted to the pointer of Denki's choosing. The working distance limit is 10 meters. • Optical Visor: A glasses-like accessory that can update Denki with info in regard to the pointers.

    Trivia:

    • According to Denki's Volume 3 profile: • His favorite food is hamburgers. • His favorite things are anything that's currently trending. • His role is to tie Class 1-A together with his personality, just like Eijirou.
    • According to Denki's Ultra Analysis profile: • He's considered the "mood maker" of the class. • His personality is described as "all flash, little substance". • His Quirk is considered one of the strongest in the class in terms of raw power.
    • Denki's known U.A. data is as follows: • Student No. 7 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 16th during Shouta Aizawa's Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked 20th in Class 1-A's grades. • Ranked in the Top 16 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. • Denki received a total of 272 nominations from Pro Heroes for his U.A. Sports Festival performance, making him the fifth most nominated Class 1-A student.
    • Denki's surname contains the kanji for "above, hair" (上, kami), "sound, to ring" (鳴, nari), and his first name contains "electricity" (電, den) and "spirit" (気, ki).
    • When written as one word, the kanji in Denki's first name translates to "electrical, electricity" (電気, denki).
    • Denki's surname is pronounced the same way as the Japanese word for "thunder" (雷, kaminari).
    • The black, lightning-shaped streak on Denki's hair is apparently natural.
    • Denki and Kyouka share the same costume designer.
    • Denki's Quirk is similar to the Marvel Comics villain Electro.

    Full name: Eijirou Kirishima (切島鋭児郎, Kirishima Eijirō). Hero name: Sturdy Hero: Red Riot (剛健ヒーロー 烈怒頼雄斗, Gōken Hīrō: Reddo Raiotto). Occupation: Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: October 16. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: O. Family: Eijirou was raised by his single mother, with his family lacking a father. Seat in Class 1-A: 8. Fighting Style: Close Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Eijirou is a fair-skinned boy with somewhat long dyed a bright red — originally colored black — and spiked away from his head at all angles with gel, with two more pronounced tufts spiked on either side of his forehead like little horns. This This lofty style takes a full three minutes to set. He also has small eyebrows, eyes pointed slightly inwards, red irises, a scar on his right eye that originated from an accident when his Quirk first manifested; and pointed teeth. His body is muscular with a rather impressive physique for his young age. He is 170 centimeters/5'7" feet tall. Originally — up to his middle school years — Eijirou's hair was black and left in its natural state: just under shoulder length with some shorter bangs between his eyes. He changed it to his current style shortly after being accepted into U.A. High.

    Clothing: he wears the standard U.A. uniform, but with dark red trainers instead of the usual brown dress shoes.

    Hero costume: Eijirou wears two dark red gear-shaped shoulder pads. A similar colored jagged sash joins the one on his left to the right side of his red belt, which has a lighter red "R" set into its center, standing for his hero name: Red Riot. Below this, he wears baggy black pants and a red half cape with a ripped hem. He also sports dark red boots and thick rings around his calves. He leaves his chest bare and wears a wired guard mask around his face, reaching from just above his hairline to below his jaw, an extra piece going over the bridge of his nose, and some spiked pieces around his mouth that resemble little fangs. Overall, the look slightly resembles that of an Oni.

    Personality/History: Eijirou is a boisterous and outgoing guy with a fondness for manliness, often using the terms "manly" and "unmanly" to describe things and people he does or doesn't like, respectively. Those who showcase a noble, brave, or determined attitude tend to emotionally move him to tears, quickly earning his complete admiration, respect, and friendship. Similarly, he will call out traits that are the opposite of that, such as cowardice and dirty play. Eijirou is determined and selfless, bravely putting the safety of others before himself. He is also a big fan of Crimson Riot, a retro hero from whom he takes inspiration, including personal values and his hero name. Eijirou is very honest and kind-hearted, having a straightforward way of thinking and following a specific code of chivalry that motivates him to live without regret. Thanks to his respectful and encouraging attitude, he's easily capable of making friends with most people he encounters, particularly those that show as much passion and resolve as he does. Loyal and dedicated to his friends, Eijirou is willing to break laws and rules to help or save them, becoming regretful if he cannot come to their aid. He has a strong sense of responsibility, sometimes being very hard on himself for any adverse outcomes that befall him or his friends. As such, he's always thinking about further improving his abilities and strengths to not feel weak or burdensome to others, which is how Eijirou overcame his earlier impulsiveness in battle and weak academic performance; as a result of his hard work, he's become smarter and wiser over time. Kirishima's Quirk is “Hardening”, which allows him to harden his body to the point it can injure others. Eijirou has stated more than once that he does not think very highly of his own Hardening Quirk, thinking it lacks the flashiness usually found among Pro Heroes. He will get downright offended if he sees someone with a similar Quirk. Eijirou is worried about not having a good enough Quirk for hero work and that his skills could not compare to other hero prospects. A lot of this self-doubt seems to have come from an incident in Junior High when he saw Mina Ashido stop an underclassman from being bullied and save some students from a threatening figure. His friends pointed out that Mina would quickly become a hero due to her outgoing personality and athletic nature. After this, Eijirou considered himself dull and pathetic for his inaction and powerlessness. However, thanks to an old, recorded interview featuring his idol, Eijirou gained the perspective he needed to regain his composure and overcome most insecurities. From that point on, Eijirou started working, studying, and training diligently. Eijirou decided to reinvent himself after being accepted into U.A. High, adopting a tough, confident, fiery persona that he considers ideal for the hero he wants to be: Red Riot. While Eijirou may not be as hot-blooded and competitive as Katsuki Bakugou, he does not shy away from comparing himself to him, with Izuku stating that the two have managed to develop a relationship as equals. As a result, Eijirou is notably one of the few people that Katsuki holds in higher esteem.

    Quirk(s): Hardening (硬化, Kōka) — Transformation-Type Quirk. Hardening gives the user the power to harden any part of their body. The Quirk protects them from most physical threats. Once activated, Eijirou becomes capable of enduring what would be otherwise lethal hazards, like tons of falling metal and multiple explosions, without leaving a scratch. Even bullets are unable to pierce his skin. Aside from increased defense, Hardening also grants Eijirou offensive power by turning his hardened body rough and sharp like rock, increasing his physical strength and allowing him to cut enemies by grazing them. This all leads to Hardening being a highly practical Quirk for hero work, which is frequently combat-oriented. One of the drawbacks to this Quirk is that there is a limit to how much damage the hardened skin can withstand, causing Hardening to slowly dissipate, and Eijirou loses stamina from struggling to keep his Quirk active. However, Eijirou has the ability to refortify his hardened form at will. Furthermore, Hardening is noted to lack long-range potential, limiting Eijirou's combat repertoire and forcing him to take battles up close. Hardening can also only protect Eijirou from physical damage but not thermal damage such as very high or low temperatures. As part of his training, Eijirou, in his hardened form, was continuously attacked by Mashirao Ojiro's Tail, and with each hit, the strength and durability of his Quirk increased.

    Relationships:

    • Mina Ashido (Great friends since middle school).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (Mutual friends — though prior to that Kirishima didn't like Bakugou, but began to respect him and see him as "manly" after they fought together in the U.S.J incident).
    • Denki Kaminari (Close friends since they sit close to each-other in class).
    • Hanta Sero (Good friends).
    • Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu (Eijirou and Tetsutetsu initially had a rocky relationship because of their similar Quirks. During the U.A. Sports Festival, they met when they both survived being crushed by a 0-Point Villain. As the festival progressed, Eijirou resented being constantly compared to Tetsutetsu, like when Present Mic gave them similar intros prior to their match against one another. Since their Quirks are very similar, the two weren't able to defeat each other during the U.A. Sports Festival, meaning that they had to compete in an arm wrestling match to decide the winner of their one-on-one. Eijirou won and congratulated Tetsutetsu on a battle well fought, starting their eventual friendship. In Eijirou's next match, Tetsutetsu cheered for him to knock Katsuki out. They both proved to be on good terms with each other when they ended up interning together at Fourth Kind's Hero Agency. They were initially surprised to see each other, but instead of lamenting about comparisons, they friendly greeted each other).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Eijirou has proven to be a formidable combatant. His abilities earned him second place in the U.A. Entrance Exam, having a fair balance of both villain and rescue points, and 8th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Thanks to his Quirk, Red Riot's straightforward and reckless fighting style lets his hardened body take opposing hits while delivering counterattacks. Even bullets cannot pierce his skin when his Quirk is active, meaning that Eijirou can turn himself into a shield for allies or defenseless civilians. During the U.S.J. Incident, he and Katsuki attempted to take on Kurogiri before being warped away,bleaving the pair to battle and soon defeat, low-tier members of the League of Villains.
    • Enhanced Durability: Eijirou has above-average durability even without his Quirk. According to Katsuki, although Eijiro took a barrage of point-blank explosions during their fight at the U.A. Sports Festival, this was not due to his armored skin alone. This proves that Eijiro's natural durability is relatively strong, but can be amplified by his Hardening Quirk. Eijiro'us Quirk grants him greatly enhanced durability. His hardened body has displayed the ability to withstand a great deal of punishment for extended periods of time, including: • Several tons of scrap metal from a Villain Bot - Executor falling on top of him. • A number of point-blank explosions from Katsuki. • Bullets being fired at him.
    • Enhanced Strength: When using his Quirk, Eijirou's physical strength is increased, enabling him to break through most obstacles. He demonstrated this multiple times during the Sports Festival, such as digging through debris from Villain Bots and defeating metal constructs.
    • Indomitable Will: A prominent aspect of Eijirou is his die-hard chivalry. During his middle school days, he lacked the courage to stand up for others, despite desperately wanting to, but was too afraid to do so. However, after watching a video containing Crimson Riot's speech on chivalry and heroic ideals, Eijirou re-evaluated himself and became a virile person who desires to help others no matter how scared he may be, even if it means recklessly rushing into situations. Eijirou changed his original black hair to the spiked, red appearance he now possesses to symbolize his admiration for Crimson Riot and his reformation into a more courageous person.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Red Counter (烈怒交吽咤, Reddo Kauntā): While hardened, Red Riot endures a close-range attack and counters with a straight punch.
    • Red Gauntlet (烈怒頑斗裂屠, Reddo Gantoretto): Red Riot charges the opponent and delivers a single, powerful punch to the gut.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Unbreakable (安無嶺過武瑠, Anbureikaburu): Red Riot reaches his maximum hardening level by turning his entire body extremely rugged and jagged, giving him a monstrous appearance and practical invulnerability to most forms of physical attacks. This form can only be maintained for about 30–40 seconds. Red Gauntlet can become much stronger while in the Unbreakable form.

    Stats:

    • Power: 5/6 (A-).
    • Speed: 3/6 (C-).
    • Technique: 3/6 (C-).
    • Intelligence: 3/6 (C).
    • Cooperativeness: 4/6 (B).
    • Chivalrous Spirit: 6/6 (S).

    Trivia:

    • Eijirou's surname name contains the kanji for "to cut" (切, kiri) and "island" (島, shima), and his first name contains "sharp" (鋭, ei), "child, young person" (児, ji), and "son, male" (郎, rō).
    • According to Eijirou's profile in Volume 3: • His favorite food is meat. • His favorite thing is manliness. • His role is to tie Class 1-A together with his personality, just like Denki Kaminari.
    • Eijirou's known U.A. data is as follows: • Student No. 8 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 2nd during the U.A. Entrance Exam. • Ranked 8th during the Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked 15th in Class 1-A's mid-term grades. • Ranked in the Top 8 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. • Eijirou received a total of 68 nominations from Pro Heroes for his U.A. Sports Festival performance, making him the 7th most nominated Class 1-A student.
    • Eijirou and Tetsutetsu share many similarities with each other: • They share the same birthday (October 16). • Both have prominently pointed teeth. • They share the same stats in My Hero Academia: Ultra Analysis: The Official Character Guide. • Them and their Quirks were formally introduced in quick succession, while in identical situations: emerging from the wreckage of Villain Bots. • Both wanted to stand out during the U.A. Sports Festival, but were disappointed that they couldn’t, upon realizing their similarities to each other. • Their Quirks, Steel and Hardening, are functionally similar and described likewise, including the weakness of losing power in a drawn out battle, and making their bodies harder than stone. • Their fighting styles are the same: straightforward and reckless, letting their hardened bodies take opposing hits while delivering counterattacks. • Both use their Quirks to turn themselves into human shields to protect their allies. • They both chose Fourth Kind's office for workplace experience. • Both have similar hero costumes. • Both have a Ultimate Move that involves using their hardened fists to break through the opponent's defenses, while having the same pose when performing their Ultimate Move. • The beginning of their Hero names start with the letter "R".
    • According to My Hero Academia: Ultra Age: The Final Fan Book: • Eijirou's dorm room is in the Top 2 of "rooms that women would never want their boyfriend to have."
    • Eijirou is (currently) the only member of Class 1-A with a Transformation Quirk.
    • Both Eijiro's hero name and named moves are written using ateji, which refers to kanji being used phonetically, without much regard to their meaning. This is considered stereotypical in various situations in manga and television series, especially when relating to old-school, manly, hot-blooded characters similar to Eijirou.

    Entry settings

    When he was three years old, Eijirou Kirishima woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. When he rubbed his eye, his Hardening Quirk manifested for the first time. This made his hand harden and caused Eijiro to cut himself, which left a scar on his right eye. Afterwards, the young Eijirou initially hated his Quirk for hurting him. Despite this, Eijirou began to admire the hero Crimson Riot, whose Quirk was very similar to his. This admiration caused Eijirou to adopt Crimson Riot's ideology and mentality that, as long as he has a manly spirit, then Quirks don't even matter. All that is needed is to train hard to cover for the Quirk with the spirit. Eijirou followed those tips and trained for years to strengthen himself. Eijirou and Mina Ashido attended Mustafa Private Middle School during Junior High, however, they were not close then. During his time in Mustafa Private Middle School, however, his hair was black and left in its natural state: just under shoulder length with some shorter bangs between his eyes. One day, he tried to protect one student from two bullies, but one of them smashed a rock into Eijirou's face. Eijirou yelled in pain while the bully remarked that Eijirou had a simple Hardening Quirk and nothing more, then the bullies took the underclassman with them. Eijirou's middle school friends told him not to bother with the bullies, but he was determined to help the underclassman, encouraging himself with Crimson Riot's word about manly spirit. Then, Mina walked by the bullies and managed to get them to get along with the underclassman before going to see her group of friends. Eijirou's friends remarked that Mina was going to take the U.A. Entrance Exam to become a hero, believing that she was capable of becoming one due to her athletic ability and her strong Quirk. Eijirou and his friends talked about what future careers they wanted to pursue and Eijirou's friends did not consider U.A. High School at all, while Eijirou stated that he had not decided, but he also wanted to go to the U.A. Mina's outgoing nature and strong personality made Eijirou self-conscious of his own appearance and personality. This was worsened during an incident where Eijirou, dominated by fear, found himself unable to stand up against a giant figure who was threatening fellow students of his school, who were saved by Mina when she managed to deceive the terrifying person by giving him false directions. This incident left Eijirou feeling wholly incapable of being a hero primarily due to his hesitation in risking his life to save others. Afterward, while in his room, Eijirou felt disappointed with himself for being a coward, and gave up on his dreams of going to U.A. High School and was prepared to stop being chivalrous due to his true colors. Angry at himself, Eijirou threw a book at his bookshelf, accidentally activating an old holographic projector depicting an interview with Crimson Riot, in which the hero reveals that, despite his reckless hero image, he does feel fear when putting his life on the line and condones anyone who doesn't. He fears danger, but he feared the dying look on someone's face far more. He believes in living a life with no regrets. The words of Eijirou's idol, which had inspired him before, again inspired him further to keep following his dream of attending U.A. High School. He rewrote U.A. on his aspiration report and decides not to repeat the same mistake. At middle school, Eijirou apologized to Mina's friends for not saving them, to which her friends do not mind. Eijirou committed to training himself and studying hard in order to pass the U.A. Entrance Exam.

    Full Name: Kouji Kouda (口田甲司, Kōda Kōji). Hero Name: Petting Hero: Anima (ふれあいヒーロー アニマ, Fureai Hīrō: Anima). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: February 1. Blood Type: A. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Iwate Prefecture, Japan). Family: Kouji was raised by his single mother, with his family lacking a father. Seat in Class 1-A: 9. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Kouji is a peach-skinned boy with a rock-like head, which is unevenly shaped and pointed at the top of his head, and his jaw is square-shaped. From the back of his head, thick hair-like protrusions slope downwards. His eyes are oval with black irises and his mouth dips downwards in the middle until it reaches the edges, where it resembles more sharp lower fangs. His body is broad and muscular, standing at 186 centimeters/6'1" feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours he wears the standard male U.A. uniform, nothing out of the ordinary.

    Hero Costume: His hero costume is a tight yellow suit, only reaching to his knees and elbows, with a large red marking over his torso and at the ends of his sleeves. On his chest, there's a symbol resembling an open mouth, and he wears yellow shoes with red lining.

    Personality/History: Contrary to his powerful and brutish appearance, Kouji is timid and quiet. As such, he rarely speaks and prefers using sign language to communicate with his classmates, so much so that Kyoka Jiro assumed that he was mute and was greatly surprised when Kouji spoke. According to Fumikage Tokoyami, he is very good at keeping secrets. He also hates violence due to his kind-hearted nature. He appears to enjoy the company of animals, even owning a small rabbit as a pet. With his Quirk, Anivoice Kouji can interact with them in ways others can't. He also owns a few animal dolls and decorations in his room, implying he likes cute things. Kouji suffers from entomophobia, being deathly afraid of bugs, with the mere sight of them making him scream and run away in fear. However, Kouji is capable of putting this fear aside if it means helping his comrades. Throughout his time at U.A., Kouji has gradually grown out of his initially meek nature, becoming a bit more vocal and aiding his classmates with hero work. Kouji is inspired by his father, who encouraged him not to back down when people made fun of those who are close to him.

    Backstory: Since childhood, Kouji Kouda has been a shy person, and always loved animals, due to his Anivoice Quirk he inherited from his mother. At one point, his mother told him that one day, he would get horns that would allow his Quirk to reach more animals from even further away. She also suggested that he follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a man who stands up for those he cares about and gets angry when someone laughs at them, as she had faced persecution due to being a heteromorph. In spite of his nature, Kouji manages to get accepted to U.A. High School, to the great joy of his mother, who congratulates him.

    Quirk(s): Anivoice (生き物ボイス, Ikimono Boisu) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Kouji's mother also has this Quirk. Anivoice allows the user to communicate with and command animals through speech. It also grants the user a rock-like head, and when it undergoes a Quirk Awakening, horns that allow for communication from farther away. This makes Kouji a versatile hero due to the diversity of abilities found within the animal kingdom. For example, bugs with their small size and burrowing capabilities are able to perform sneak attacks from underground, birds are useful for reconnaissance due to being flying creatures with great eyesight, and so on. While Kouji seems to be able to understand animal language to some extent or receive information from the animals he commands, he cannot specifically communicate with any animal through intricate dialogue. As part of his training, Kouji engaged in vocal exercise to increase the range of his Anivoice, allowing him to control animals from long-distances. Animals must be within Kouji's vocal range in order to be influenced by Anivoice. Humans, despite being animals as well, are exempt from the effects of Anivoice. This Quirk is also ineffective against artificial creatures that have been shaped to resemble real animals. Anivoice is sound-based and, because of that, any noises louder than it, such as other sound-type Quirks, like Voice, are likely to disrupt its effects, either by drowning out Kouji's own voice or scaring away nearby animals. In addition, this Quirk is ineffective if Kouji is unable to speak. As part of his training, Kouji engaged in vocal exercises to increase the range of his Anivoice, allowing him to control animals from long distances. • Anivoice's Quirk Awakening Effect: After undergoing a Quirk Awakening, Kouji's horns grow. This expands his Anivoice's effective range, in which he can reach out and control animals, enabling him telepathic commandeering over having to issue verbal commands. Kouji's horns glow green when using his newfound telepathic abilities.

    Relationships:

    • Family (Kouji has a good relationship with his mother).
    • Kyouka Jirou (Kouji was partnered with Kyoka during the Final Exams Arc against Present Mic. Although Kouji was very shy and terrified of insects, Kyouka's words and example of bravery convinced him to use his Quirk to talk to bugs of the forest. Kouji carried an injured Kyouka through the forest to cross the escape gate and together they passed the exam).
    • Rikidou Satou (Often paired together. They also sit next to each other).
    • Fumikage Tokoyami (The two of them fought together in the U.S.J incident. Because of that Kouji is also aware of Fumikage's weaknesses).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Thanks to his handling of his Quirk, Anivoice, Kouji is a rather versatile hero due to the diversity of abilities within the animal kingdom. For example, bugs can perform sneak attacks from underground thanks to their small size and burrowing capabilities; birds are helpful for reconnaissance because they are flying creatures with excellent eyesight, etc. And despite Kouji's generally shy nature, he can work very fluidly in a team of humans and animals, showcasing his multifaceted camaraderie.
    • Enhanced Strength: Kouji, befitting his bulky stature, possesses a fair amount of physical strength.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Bugging Out (バグズ・パニック, Baguzu Panikku): Kouji summons swarms of bugs to overwhelm his opponents.
    • Hitchcock Birds (ヒッチコックバーズ, Hitchikokkubāzu): Kouji summons a swarm of birds to provide a distraction or hinder vision.

    • Tight-Lipped: 4/6 (B).

    Trivia:

    • According to Kouji's profile in Volume 5: • His favorite thing is nature.
    • Kouji's known U.A. data is as follows: •Student No. 9 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 11th in the Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked 11th in Class 1-A's midterm grades. • Ranked in the Top 42 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.

    • With his birthday taking place in February, Kouji is (currently) the third youngest student in Class 1-A, as everyone was 15 when they started U.A.'s school year in early April.
    • Kouji is the only student in Class 1-A confirmed to have a pet — a rabbit named "Yuwai-chan", also dubbed "Kawaii-chan" by Kouji's female classmates.

    Full Name: Rikidou Satou (砂藤力道, Satō Rikidō). Hero Name: Sweets Hero: Sugarman (甘味ヒーローシュガーマン, Kanmi Hīrō: Shugā Man). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 16. Birthday: June 19. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (born in Tottori Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: O. Seat in Class 1-A: 10. Fighting Style: Close Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Rikidou is an olive-skinned boy with short brown hair that's spiked upwards away from his head, relatively tiny square-shaped eyes with small black pupils and a pair of bushy eyebrows just above. Rikidou bears huge, thick lips, slightly darker than the rest of his skin, and a notably large, round nose. His body is broad and muscular, standing at 185 centimeters/6'1" feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours he wears the standard male U.A. uniform, with nothing out of the ordinary.

    Hero costume: Rikidou's hero costume consists of a yellow full-body suit covering his body, the only exceptions being the holes around his mouth, eyes, and hair. He wears white gloves, boots, and a utility belt around his waist, storing small quantities of sugar inside its pouches.

    Personality/History: Rikidou is interested in sweets and baking, a valuable skill due to his Quirk. He is surprisingly talented at making sweets conquering his classmates with his food. The fact that this overly optimistic reaction caught Rikido off guard suggests that he doesn't think much of his abilities as a confectioner. Nevertheless, every week in the dorms, Rikido bakes sweets and shares them with his classmates, which he calls "Sugar Time". To create a gourmet night, he pairs his sweets with Momo Yaoyorozu's tea. He can cook other food, too, as shown during the Christmas party.

    Quirk(s): Sugar Rush (シュガードープ, Shugā Dōpu) — Emitter-Type Quirk. Surgar Rush allows the user to multiply their strength five-fold for three minutes for every ten grams of sugar they ingest. Rikidou must consume the required sugar quantities for his Quirk to be activated in the first place. This can be achieved by eating any food items that carry enough sugar content, such as most sweets, soft drinks or even raw, granulated sugar. Once this condition is met, Rikidou is able to convert the absorbed sugar into raw strength, with his body slightly bulking up as a result. When his Quirk converts sugar into strength, Rikidou suffers from hypoglycemia, which in the process causes lowered cognitive functions, decreased intelligence, and lethargy. Because his Quirk requires the consumption of sugar to work, without a source of it, Rikidou can't activate his Quirk. As part of his training, Rikidou engaged in weightlifting while consuming large amounts of sweets to increase the augmented physical strength his Quirk granted.

    Relationships:

    • Kouji Kouda (Friends).
    • Hanta Sero (Friends).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Thanks to his Quirk, Sugar Rush, Rikidou is a straightforward fighter who takes advantage of the temporarily augmented physical might granted by his power to punch his way through obstacles and enemies. During the U.S.J. Incident, thanks to Ochako Uraraka running interference against Kurogiri, Rikidou and Hanta Sero were able to successfully subdue the villain even further.
    • Gastronomic Talents: Rikidou excels in baking and preparing cakes and other sweets. This talent was developed due to his Quirk needing sugar to be activated and store-bought sweets being more expensive.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Sugar Rush (シュガー ラッシュ, Shugā Rasshu): Rikido consumes sugar to increase his power and unleashes a flurry of punches.
    • Sugar Knuckle (シュガーナックル, Shugā Nakkuru): Rikido strikes his opponent with a powerful straight punch, sending them flying backwards.

    Stats:

    • Power: 5/6 (A+).
    • Speed: 4/6 (B+).
    • Technique: 2/6 (D).
    • Intelligence: 3/6 (C).
    • Cooperativeness: 4/6 (B).
    • Domestic Skills: 5/6 (A).

    Equipment:

    • Utility Belt: Rikidou's Hero costume has a utility belt; presumably filled with sugar cubes and/or other sweets.

    Trivia:

    • According to Rikidou's Volume 5 profile: • His favorite food is cake. • Rikidou's surname contains the kanji for "sand" (砂, sa) and "wisteria" (藤, tō), and his first name contains "power, strength" (力, riki) and "path" (道, dō).
    • His last name is written with the first character of the word for "sugar" (砂糖, satō) and the second character in the most common Japanese surname "satō" (佐藤, "satō"), which are homonyms. • When written as one word, the kanji in his first name translates to "path to power" (力道, rikidō).
    • His hero name, "Sugar Man", is also the name of an obscure Marvel Comics villain.
    • According to Rikidou's Ultra Analysis page: • After moving into the dorms, the rest of the class looks forward to his "Sugarman's Sugar Time" sessions. • Rikidou has daily tea time meetings with Momo. • His personality is described as "Just the sweetest boy".

    Full Name: Mezou Shouji (障子目蔵, Shōji Mezō). Hero Name: Tentacle Hero: Tentacole. (触手ヒーロー テンタコル, Shokushu Hīrō: Tentakoru). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: February 15. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: B. Seat in Class 1-A: 11. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Mezou is a olive-skinned boy with pale gray hair swept forwards, covering most of his face, and bent downwards at almost a right angle over his eye. He has a slightly elongated face, lacking a nose and possessing an extended mouth with large teeth and prominent scars around his lips, one running from the back, downwards towards his neck. His eyes have black irises and are set more towards the sides, the majority of which due to his scars. His body is broad and muscular, with six arms attached by a web of skin; the arms are very physically strong, and while his Quirk is not in use, only the front two arms have hands, the rest ending in thin stumps. He is 187 centimeters/6'2" feet tall.

    Clothing: he almost always keeps a blue mask, which covers him from just below his eyes to the base of his neck. He is rarely seen without it, as he doesn't appear when the other students are bathing in the hot springs, and he wears it with every outfit. To speak and eat, he grows a mouth on the end of one of his tentacles, although if his arms is injured he uses his actual mouth. During school hours, he wears the regular male U.A. uniform, the only notable difference between his and the other students' being that he is sleeveless to make room for his six tentacles, and he wears a waistcoat rather than a blazer. He also doesn't wear the usual brown dress shoes, replacing them with thick-soled black espadrilles.

    Hero costume: Mezou's hero costume consists of a tight light blue tank top, with six white markings resembling eyes, connected at the top to a darker, more indigo-colored mask, similar to the one he usually wears. He has a belt with another, larger yellow eye shape embedded into its center, below which he wears slightly baggy trousers to match his shirt, two darker lines running down the sides of his legs, and indigo boots.

    Personality/History: Despite his frightening appearance, Mezou is friendly and gentle and will work nicely with anyone. He is not the type to hold grudges, showing no ill will towards those that harm him unwillingly. Mezou is entirely selfless and willing to risk his life for anyone. He can be empathetic and understanding but still shows a sense of maturity and responsibility that prevents him from acting under emotional impulses, even if he feels regretful. He is very protective of his classmates, especially if they are hurt or injured. Mezou claims to hold no desire for material needs, being okay with having few possessions of his own, and this is a trait he has been carrying since childhood. Mezou is also quite thick-skinned, as he said he was used to being feared. In Mezou's hometown, there is still prejudice against those whose bodies are altered outwardly by their Quirks, and people are often frightened of him. He started wearing his signature mask because his face made a young girl cry, and he didn't want to cause any sadness. He also states that his facial scars and the fact that he is a heteromorph can make people assume that he became a hero to enact vengeance on the people who scarred him, which is not true. Part of his motivation to be a hero is to tear down the societal walls that have stood in the way of heteromorphs like himself for over a century. However, he also knows that he can't do so in a single generation, and as such, he has a marked distaste for shortsightedness regarding the use of force and violence to head such a change in society.

    Backstory: Mezou Shouji grew up in a place where prejudice against heteromorphs, people whose Mutant-type Quirks permanently affect their outer appearances, still exist. Because of this, many people were afraid of how Mezou looked to the point where he grew up accustomed to being feared, berating his "dirty blood", and that no matter how society would progress, they would never accept a monster like him. He was even beaten whenever he interacted with others, and suffered permanent scarring on his face. Before he was scarred, he used his tentacles to save a little girl from being swept away and drowning in a river. Mezou considered this to be the one good childhood memory related to his Quirk and would serve as his drive to one day become a hero. Despite getting scarred by the villagers shortly after this from misunderstanding his intentions, the little girl thanking him and blaming herself for her savior being hurt, inspired him to become a Hero, and provide a prevalent sense of hope for people just like him. Mezou's scarred face terrified the little girl, and this event caused him to start wearing his signature mask, not only because he didn't want his appearance to frighten or upset others, but also to avoid people assuming he became a hero out of a desire for revenge on those who wronged.

    Quirk(s): Dupli-Arms (複製腕, Fukuseiwan, lit. "Replication Arm") — Mutant-Type Quirk. Dupli-Arms grants the user a set of arm-like tentacles adjacent to their arms that can transform into duplicates of their other body parts. Mezou is able to reproduce any of his body parts, including ears, eyes, mouths, hands and so on, with said parts taking form through pods located at the tip of each of his tentacles. The duplicated parts are actually enhanced versions of the original ones, which improves Mezou's strength and senses. Different parts can be manifested at once too, allowing Mezou to combine his augmented sensory abilities. If for reason one or several of the replicated body parts are cut off, Mezou can replicate it again once the injury has healed. As part of his training, Mezou swiftly created multiple tentacles, with eyes and ears, to seek out the invisible Toru, all to increase his sensory capabilities. The tentacles, just like any part of Mezou's body, are vulnerable to injuries coming from enemy attacks. The same goes for the replicated body parts. Although Mezou can regrow in any replicated body part that was cut off, it is still painful for him and takes time for the wound to heal. As part of his training, Mezou was tasked with producing duplicated body parts faster and maintaining greater control over the large quantity of body parts. Mezou's training sounds especially tough in comparison to the other students in Class 1-A.

    Relationships:

    • Minoru Mineta (On good terms. Minoru admires Mezou for his octopus appearance and tall height. They also teamed up for the cavalry battle along with Tsuyu Asui. They were shown to work well as a team despite not advancing to the next round. During the fight between Izuku and Shouto in the Sports Festival tournament event, Mezou prevents Minoru from being blown away).
    • Fumikage Tokoyami (On good terms).
    • Izuku Midoriya (On good terms and have respect for each other).
    • Shouto Todoroki (On good terms and work well together).
    • Tohru Hagakure (On good terms, and they work well as a team).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Mezou has proven to be highly capable, as his skills allowed him to earn 6th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. He also has a good handle on his Quirk, Dupli-Arms, which he can use for combat and sensory purposes. Dupli-Arms makes Mezou excellent for spying and stake-out missions since his tentacle-created sensorial parts have heightened functions. While Mezou is strong enough to carry more than one person on his back with minimal effort, he can shield or hide them from danger thanks to his Dupli-Arms' webbed structure. Mezou also possesses good camaraderie, using his Quirk to detect nearby enemies and using his tentacles to cause a distraction so that his comrades can take their opponents by surprise.
    • Enhanced Strength: Mezou possesses a high degree of physical strength, as he could exert as much as 540 kilograms (1,188 pounds) of force during the Quirk Apprehension Test. The brawn displayed during this test indicates he has enough strength to crush a human skull with just one of his many hands. Mezou's Quirk multiplies his already great physical brawn for combat by replicating his arms, giving him force equivalent to at least half a ton when using just one set of his tentacle arms.
    • Enhanced Stamina: Mezou also has an incredible supply of endurance. After a long day of rigorously training his Quirk at the forest training camp, he continuously evaded a full-power Dark Shadow while carrying Izuku for a substantial amount of time.
    • Enhanced Durability: Mezou has been shown to withstand significant damage.

    Full Name: Kyouka Jirou (耳郎響香, Jirō Kyōka). Hero Name: Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack (ヒアヒーローイヤホン＝ジャック, Hia Hīrō: Iyahon Jakku). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Female. Age: 15. Birthday: August 1. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Shuzuoka Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: A. Family: Mika Jirou (mother); Kyoutoku Jirou (father). Seat in Class 1-A:12. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat; Reconaissance.

    Appearance: Kyouka is a fair-skinned girl with chin-length dark-purple hair, with an asymmetrical fringe that has two reflections shaped like sound waves on either side. She also has two chin length strands framing her face, and keeps the rest up to her neck. She has triangular eyes with black irises and notably long lower eyelashes and small eyebrows. Her most prominent features are the flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes; they act like extra limbs that she is able to control at will, and change their length if so desired. She has a petite and slender body, standing at 154 centimeters/5'0¾" feet tall.

    Clothing: Unlike the other students, Kyouka sometimes wears a waistcoat over her school uniform, in place of the usual U.A. blazer.

    Hero costume: Earphone Jack's hero costume consists of a black leather jacket, long salmon-colored shirt with several rips at the collar and hem, black pants, and boots with stereos built into their shafts. She also has two small, triangular red paint marks just below her eyes, a plain black choker, and white fingerless gloves.

    Potential Hero Costume Upgrade: A potential upgrade foe Kyouka's hero costume can include a set of headphones with two bracelets that double up as her amplifiers and she changes her face paint to two larger chevron-shaped marks.

    Personality/History: Kyouka has a pragmatic, unenthusiastic, blunt, and teasing personality that is mostly shown to those she finds irritating, like her fellow classmate Denki Kaminari, whose cluelessness makes him an easy target for her snarky comments. Kyouka is not always like this though, as she does enjoy socializing with others, in which case she is usually nice and friendly, most notably with Momo Yaoyorozu and the other girls in her class. Kyouka often gesticulates through her elongated earlobes in place of her hands. She can also be quite aggressive, evidenced by when she uses the Earphone Jacks her Quirk provides, to physically punish people when provoked or to keep them in line, most notably Denki and Minoru Mineta. During hero activities, however, Kyouka prefers smarter approaches, usually by coming up with a plan herself. She is surprisingly organized and makes sure to convey her ideas in a way that's easy to understand. Despite the fact that she comes off as cold and indifferent, Kyouka also has a much more sensitive side, being very defensive towards her friends, empathetic with others' feelings, and getting flustered when her talents and capabilities are brought up. While Kyouka is hard to unnerve or surprise, she is afraid of horror-based activities, and has an aversion to nudity. She is a bit self-conscious about her looks and style as well, becoming noticeably upset when she was not seen as attractive by Minoru, and attacking Denki and Yuuga Aoyama for commenting that her dorm room was unladylike. Like her parents, Kyouka has a major interest in rock music and owns several instruments which she is able to play to some extent. However, she seemed to be somewhat embarrassed about her interests, because she perceived them as completely unrelated to heroism.

    Backstory: Kyouka Jirou was born to Kyoutoku and Mika Jirou, a couple of a composer and a musician. She inherited her mother's Quirk, Earphone Jack. At a young age, thanks to the influence of her parents, Kyouka developed an interest in music, eventually learning to play several instruments. Despite her parents desires for her to become a musician, she decided to become a hero instead because she wanted to dedicate her work to others. When she told her parents about her plans, they were happy for her and let her walk her own path.

    Quirk(s): Earphone Jack (イヤホンジャック, Iyahon Jakku) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Kyouka's mother, Mika Jirou also has this Quirk. Earphone Jack grants its user long, controllable earlobes that work like headphone cables. Kyouka's earlobes are shaped like jacks at their ends, allowing her to plug them into a variety of objects. Those earlobes can further channel the vibrations of Kyouka's own heartbeats, dealing internal damage to said objects. Moreover, Kyouka is able to catch faint sounds through her jacks even across extremely thick walls, making her excellent at scouting work. It is possible, however, to mislead her by somehow generating multiple sources of noise to mask the ones she's trying to detect. Kyouka's earlobes can stretch up to 6 meters, and the radius of detectable sound is 12 meters. They are sturdy enough to easily pierce hard materials like concrete and able to act as additional limbs due to their prehensile nature, with Kyouka being capable of picking up small objects with them. It's unknown if Mika has access to all aforementioned abilities displayed by her daughter. Like any other part of her body, however, the Earphone Jacks are susceptible to damage and may suffer from overuse. Additionally, if Kyouka plugs her jacks into a surface and detects a very loud sound impacting it, such as an explosion, she may experience sound overload and become incapacitated. Kyouka's Quirk Factor lies within her ears, so if she loses one of her ears she is limited to only the remaining ear. As part of her training, Kyouka honed her headphone jacks by repeatedly piercing them into a stone cliff, all to increase the amount of audio she can hear with her Quirk.

    Relationships:

    • Kyoutoku Jirou (Father).
    • Mika Jirou (Mother).
    • Family (Kyouka has an excellent relationship with her parents. They were the ones who taught her music at an early age, and thanks to them, Kyouka has found her way around a couple of instruments).
    • Denki Kaminari (Good friends who interact frequently — Kyouka happens to enjoy Denki's brainless state and finds humor in as well her frequently teasing the boy, with the main source of it being his behavior and low intelligence. Although he generally hates those remarks, Denki never holds any lasting contempt for them, likely since he recognizes it as just playful ribbing most of time. Denki also isn't exempt from pushing Kyouka's buttons on occassion, though it's typically a result of him being obtuse rather than an attempt at personal amusement. Denki also supports Kyouka's hobbies and interests).
    • Momo Yaoyorozu (Best friends).
    • Mina Ashido (On good terms and interact often).
    • Kouji Kouda (Partnered together on the first semester's final exams against Present Mic. Kyouka offered encouragement to Kouji and the two managed to pass the test).
    • Tohru Hagakure (Like all the other girls, Tohru and Kyouka get along well and are often seen talking together).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Despite not having too much interaction with each other, Izuku and Kyouka mutually respect and care for one another as classmates. During the Vs. Hero Killer Arc, Kyouka initially wonders how Izuku will do in the Rescue Training Race and is amazed by Izuku overcoming the drawbacks of his Quirk. Kyouka also finds Izuku's notebook very interesting and impressive, where Izuku notes his classmates' abilities. Izuku has also occasionally complimented Kyouka's Quirk for its pinpoint accuracy and stealth attributes. Sometimes, she gets curious of Izuku every now and then).
    • Minoru Mineta (Like all the girls in 1-A, Kyoka despises Minoru's perverted and lecherous attitude towards them and is seen either chastising or punishing him with her Quirk on a few occasions. During the U.A. Sports Festival Arc, she wakes up from a nap and stabs Minoru with her jacks, while chewing him out for encouraging Yuuga to burn Mina's gym clothes off during their tournament match. Later on, Kyouka becomes frustrated and angry at both Minoru and Denki after the two boys had tricked the girls in Class 1-A to dress in revealing cheerleader outfits. In the girls locker room, shortly after a training session had concluded, Kyouka used her Quirk and overheard Minoru's attempt to peek at the girls through a secret peephole in the locker rooms. Kyouka prevented this by stabbing Minoru right in his eye with one of her Earphone cables. Minoru's words appeared to have hit a sore point for Kyouka however, as she wondered why she wasn't mentioned along with the other girls while Minoru was fawning over them. In fact, most likely as a result of her less feminine personality and body type, Kyouka is least targeted girl in her class in regard to Minoru's harassment).
    • Tsuyu Asui (The two don't interact much, but they appear to be good friends).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: While she doesn't commonly employ close-quarters combat efficiency, Kyouka makes effective use of the handling she has on her Quirk, Earphone Jack. She utilizes the prehensile nature of her Earphone Jack Quirk in whip-like fashion, and use the sound generating effects of her Quirk to shock targets with vibrations, effectively stunning and sometimes defeating them.
    • Keen Intellect: Despite her unenthusiastic demeanor, Kyouka is quite intelligent, scoring 7th place in the midterms, displaying her skill in academics. She is also quite strategic, as she took advantage of the volatile nature of Denki's Quirk to allow the Stun Gun Hero to electrocute multiple villains during the U.S.J. Incident.
    • Indomitable Will: In a rare sense of moment, Kyouka displays remarkable willpower.
    • Musical Talent: Kyouka is able to play the bass, which is her preferred instrument alongside the guitar. She can play other instruments as well, like drums, but only to a limited extent. Her singing voice is described as "husky, but heavenly".

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Counter-Balance (カウンターバランス, Kauntābaransu): Plugging her jacks on the special sound amplifiers on her forearms, Kyouka slams the amplifiers onto the floor and channels a powerful soundwave, shattering the ground due to the vibrations.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Heartbeat Distortion (ハートビートファズ, Hātobīto Fazu): for Kyouka to discover/access this technique, she needs special sound amplifiers, requiring her to upgrade her hero costune. Plugging her jacks on these special sound amplifiers, Kyouka slams the amplifiers onto the floor and channels a powerful soundwave, shattering the ground due to the vibrations.
    • Heartbeat Surround (ハートビートサラウンド, Hātobīto Saraundo): Plugging her jacks on the special sound amplifiers, Kyouka uses her elongated earlobes to remove the amplifiers from her wrists and direct them towards her target at close range, releasing a powerful, short-range soundwave to incapacitate them. • Legato (レガート, Regāto): Kyouka performs her Heartbeat Surround move on a larger scale, with more power, and with more sound generated.
    • Heartbeat Wall (心音壁, Hātobīto Wōru): Similar to Heartbeat Surround, Kyoka once again plugs her jacks on her forearm amplifiers and uses her earlobes to remove them and aim them towards a target, but instead channels her heartbeat to form a sound wall that blocks and impedes her enemies' movement.

    Stats:

    • Power: 3/6 (C).
    • Speed: 3/6 (C).
    • Technique: 4/6 (B).
    • Intelligence: 4/6 (B).
    • Cooperativeness: 6/6 (S).
    • No Music, No Life: 5/6 (A).

    Current Equipment:

    • Stereo Boots: A pair of boots that Kyouka can plug her earphone jacks into. They amplify her heartbeat and can direct the vibrations in a certain direction. She can even direct the vibrations through her feet to propel herself into the air.

    Potential Future Equipment:

    • Headphones: A device that presumably compliments her jacks' ability to pick up sound vibrations.
    • Amplifier Jack (音響増幅ジャック, Anpurifā Jakku): Devices that Kyouka can plug her jacks into, amplifying even further the sound and vibration of her heartbeat. They are worn on both of her forearms.

    Trivia:

    • Kyouka's surname contains the kanji for "ear" (耳, ji) and "son, male" (郎, rō), and her first name contains "sound, reverberation" (響, kyō), and "incense" (香, ka). • Kyouka's first name contains syllables coming from her parents' names. "Kyō" (響) from her father, Kyoutoku, and "香" (Ka) from her mother, Mika.
    • According to Kyouka's Volume 3 profile: • Her favorite thing is rock.
    • According to Kyouka's Ultra Analysis profile: • She started getting into classical music after being introduced to it by Momo. • Kyouka's personality describes her as a "shy rock fan".
    • Kyouka's known U.A. data is as follows: •Student No. 12 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 17th in the Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked 7th in Class 1-A's mid-term grades. • Ranked in the Top 42 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.
    • Kyouka's hairstreaks are drawn similarly to the waves of an EKG, a possible reference to how she uses her earphone jacks to amplify her heartbeat.
    • Kyouka recently started taking an interest in tea, likely from spending time with Momo. Kyouka is so far the only student in Class 1-A whose hero name is the exact same as her Quirk (Earphone Jack).
    • Kyouka and Denki share the same costume designer.

    Entry settings

    Full Name: Hanta Sero (瀬呂範太, Sero Hanta). Hero name: Taping Hero: Cellophane (テーピンヒーロー セロファン, Tēpinhīrō: Serofan). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: July 28. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tokyo, Japan). Blood Type: B. Seat in Clas 1-A: 13. Fighting Style: Ranged + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Hanta is a fair-skinned boy with chin-length black hair spiked downwards, with jagged bangs coming about halfway down his forehead. He has almond-shaped eyes, usually stretched quite broad and rather large, with small pupils and straight teeth that dominate his grin; however, according to Katsuki Bakugou and Present Mic, he has a rather plain face. His body is lean and lanky, with his elbows being shaped like cylindrical tape dispensers, from which he fires his Tape Quirk. He is 177 centimeters/5'10" feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours he wears the standard male U.A. outfit, with nothing out of the ordinary.

    Hero costume: Hanta's hero costume consists of a black, skin-tight bodysuit with a turtleneck, plain apart from a white design on his mid-torso area, and two yellow trimmings around each of his elbow-length sleeves. He wears white boots lined with yellow and has short white bands around his waist and the sides of his thighs, a larger one across his chest to connect his shoulder pads, shaped like tape dispensers. He completes his outfit with a yellow helmet, shaped similarly to his shoulder pads, with a sizeable black visor obscuring his face.

    Personality/History: Hanta is amicable and has proven to be one of the more sociable members of Class 1-A. He can sometimes be loud and showy, often trying to impress his peers with his Quirk. He is often the only person to call his classmates out when they act crazy. He is pretty humorous and usually makes jokes with his classmates. However, when push comes to shove, Hanta is a brave hero-in-training who wishes to prosper on his own while helping others do the same. He makes friends with those around him and is shown to be a very laid-back guy. Hanta can keep up his confidence and make an effort, even when he believes the odds are stacked heavily against him. This determination is shown when he faced Shouto Todoroki during the Sports Festival and admitted that he felt he couldn't win, but he soon attacked Shouto, saying that he didn't want to lose either. Despite his crushing defeat afterward, he still retains his willingness to continue and improve alongside his classmates. Hanta has a teasing side that he shows on occasion, even towards the high-tempered Katsuki Bakugou, as he was seen jeering at him along with Minoru Mineta for not cleaning their dorms windowsills properly. He can also be one to speak his mind and at times insult others without meaning to, such as when he compared the functions of Momo Yaoyorozu’s Creation Quirk to the excrement process, upsetting her and then being forced to apologize by Kyouka Jirou. Though not openly flirtatious like Denki or Minoru, Hanta still has some interest in girls. He also has a habit of spreading gossip.

    Quirk(s): Tape (テープ, Tēpu) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Tape allows the user to eject adhesive tape from openings located on both of their elbows. Hanta's elbows look and function like tape dispensers, from where he can fire lengths of tape that stick to anything he aims at. The amount of tape Hanta is able to generate in a single instance isn't unlimited, but it's still plentiful enough for him to successfully utilize for various offensive, defensive and movement purposes, making his Quirk surprisingly versatile. The tape is strong enough to immobilize opponents, hold large structures together and support Hanta's own weight. Once a strand of tape is released from Hanta's elbows, he has the choice of either cutting it off with his hands to allow new strands to be fired or leaving it intact for him to move around whatever he caught. As part of his training, Hanta continuously produced tape from his arms in order to increase his capacity, and improve his tape's tensile strength and shooting speed. Despite its unusual thickness, Hanta's tape is not unbreakable. If Hanta over-ejects tape, he will suffer from dry skin. As part of his training, Hanta continuously produced tape from his arms in order to increase his capacity, and improve his tape's textile strength and shooting speed.

    Relationships:

    • Eijirou Kirishima (Good friends).
    • Denki Kaminari (Good friends);
    • Rikidou Satou (Good friends).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (Acquaintances due to their friendship with Eijirou Kirishima. He is one of the few students in class 1-A to call Katsuki out on his behavior. Hanta made it known to him that nobody voted for him to be Class Rep and shrugged off his insults afterwards. They were in the same team during the cavalry battle, where it was demonstrated that Hanta often gets exasperated with Katsuki's extreme competitiveness but is willing to cooperate with him regardless. Katsuki refers to him as "Tape Arms" or "Soy Sauce Face").
    • Minoru Mineta (Hanta is often seen chastising Minoru for his perverse actions, though they get along as well).
    • Shouto Todoroki (Friends or at least good classmates).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Friends and on good terms).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Hanta has proven himself a very competent combatant, with a great handle on his versatile Quirk, Tape. He uses his tape to bind targets from afar, restraining them from action by knotting his tape around their bodies. He prefers to remain at a safe distance while firing large amounts of tape at his opponents with impressive accuracy. Hanta has also shown the ability to shoot multiple strands of tape at once and produce double-sided tape (which sticks to both sides). Hanta frequently uses Tape for mobility, attaching the adhesive material to surfaces and using them to swing himself through the air or pull himself towards the attachment points. Furthermore, by spreading tape around a room or pathway, Hanta can easily create traps and blockades for enemies. Hanta's overall fighting style makes him a highly formidable long-range combatant. Hanta may also take pieces of his tape for more conventional uses, like sticking one object to another, significantly when reinforcing barricades and walls. Allies can also use stray pieces of tape to their advantage, even if Hanta finds himself unable to act. Hanta also has excellent camaraderie, not only using his Tape to help distance his comrades from powerful opponents but also using his Quirk in tandem with the Quirks of other people, such as Ochako Uraraka's Zero Gravity. This specific combination allows strings of tape attached to floating objects to create a unique trap. During the U.S.J. Incident, Hanta and Rikidou Satou capitalized on Ochaco running interference against Kurogiri to subdue the villain even further success. When pitted against Shoto Todoroki, one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, at the U.A. Sports Festival, Hanta was able to bind him with tape before the latter could react swiftly and nearly defeat him until Shouto unleashed a massive wall of ice that immobilized and defeated Hanta. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of The Lurkers (consisting of Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady), giving Minoru the opportunity to intern under the trio of powerful heroes and improve on close and efficient team maneuvers.
    • Enhanced Strength: Hanta has above average physical strength, as he can use his tape to swing himself up and around very high objects and slings other people everywhere with no noticeable difficulty or strain.
    • Tactical Intellect: While Hanta may not be one of his class's more academically astute members, he makes up for it with his own level of strategic and tactical skills.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Barricade Tape (バリケードテープ, Barikēdo Tēpu): Hanta covers his surroundings with tape in order to protect himself and others from enemy attacks.
    • Tape Shot: Trident (テープショットトライデント Tēpu Shotto Toraidento, Tape Shot: Trident): Hanta uses various threads to grabs objects and launches them as projectiles at the enemy.

    Stats:

    • Power: 2/6 (D).
    • Speed: 5/6 (A-).
    • Technique: 5/6 (A+).
    • Intelligence: 4/6 (B-).
    • Cooperativeness: 6/6 (S).
    • Fasion Forward: 5/6 (A).

    Trivia:

    • Hanta's surname contains the kanji for "rapids" (瀬, se) and "spine" (呂, ro), and his first name contains "example" (範, han) and "thick" (太, ta). • Hanta's name is a play on the Japanese pronunciation of "cellophane tape" (セロハンテープ, serohantepu).
    • According to Hanta's profile in Volume 3: • Hanta's favorite foods include oranges, soy products, and anything else he might find healthy.
    • Hanta's known U.A. data is as follows: • Student No. 13 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 15th during the Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked 17th in Class 1-A's grades. • Ranked in the Top 16 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. • Hanta received a total of 14 nominations from Pro Heroes for his U.A. Sports Festival performance, making him the 9th most nominated Class 1-A student.
    • Hanta's abilities resemble those of Marvel's Spider-Man, with Hanta's tape being used for similar purposes as Spider-Man's webs, such as swinging through buildings and restraining enemies. • The My Hero Academia: Ultra Analysis: The Official Character Guide acknowledges this connection by stating that Hanta has a deep admiration for "someone" that fits Spider-Man's description.
    • Hanta and Eijirou Kirishima share the same costume designer.
    • Hanta spends his days off the most with Eijirou, Denki, Minoru, and Katsuki through Eijirou dragging him along.

    Full Name: Fumikage Tokoyami (常闇踏陰, Tokoyami Fumikage). Hero Name: Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi (漆黒ヒーロー ツクヨミ, Shikkoku Hīrō: Tsukuyomi). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: October 30. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: AB. Seat in Class 1-A: 14. Fighting Style: Close Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Fumikage is a fair-skinned boy with the head of a black bird, possibly supposed to resemble that of a crow or a raven. He has a tan, yellowish beak, which is slightly hooked down at the end, thin, red eyes with a small black pupil, one on each side of his head, and a red choker, which he rarely removes. Despite the appearance of his head, however, his body looks like an average human, with a slim and athletic — though not really muscular — build, standing at 158 centimeters/5'2" feet tall. When he was a child his beak and features were rounder and softer compared to his teenage self of today.

    Clothing: during school hours he wears the standard male U.A. outfit, with nothing out of the ordinary.

    Hero costume: Fumikage's costume consists of a black robe that is tinted a dark purple where light hits it, covering his entire body, only stopping halfway down his shins and knee-high black boots. During the Joint Training Arc, it was revealed that under this cape, he wears a dark t-shirt, wristbands, baggy pants, and a utility belt with a double pin buckle.

    Personality/History: Fumikage is reserved, serious, and focused, albeit noble and valiant. Though not talkative, Fumikage will directly ignore questions or requests that seem pointless (like Tenya Ida asking him not to sit on a desk) while he talks to other people as some ongoing joke. When Fumikage teams up with others, he becomes more sociable, helping his teammates out, reassuring his trust in them, and thanking them for their effort. During combat, Fumikage is known to be fierce and dependable, with his strength and capabilities rarely being questioned. Fumikage embodies a stereotypical chūnibyō (a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe adolescents with delusions of grandeur, meaning "middle-school second year syndrome") at heart, he is fond of darkness and other related concepts; considering himself a "creature of the dark" and employing archaic-sounding speeches that paint him as slightly creepy or dramatic. Nevertheless, Fumikage is somewhat insecure about his interests because they are more on the arcane, fantastical side and, thus, more challenging for others to understand or relate to. He also gets easily embarrassed when it comes to his interests. Regardless of his association with dark themes, Fumikage does not show any villainous behavior. He greatly cares for his friends and mentors, and should harm come their way, Fumikage may end up feeling enraged or indignant, which can lead to disastrous consequences due to his Quirk being sensitive to his emotions. Fumikage also fears losing himself to Dark Shadow, due to his Quirk's aggressive and uncontrollable nature when exposed to darkness, being especially afraid of putting his friends in harm's way. During his time training at U.A. High however, he's worked on overcoming this weakness and controlling his Quirk better. Fumikage also possesses incredible humility, being aware of his limits and understanding when it's time to back down. He takes any advice he gets seriously and uses it to improve his Quirk and abilities, showing great determination to even keep up with top heroes like Hawks. Fumikage thinks little about fame and idolatry but is still prideful enough not to tolerate being underestimated or looked down upon by others. While initially quiet and, in some cases, timid in the face of dangerous situations, he can still show bravery and confidence.

    Quirk(s): Dark Shadow (黒影, Dāku Shadō) — Emitter-Type Quirk. Dark Shadow grants the user a shadowy, monster-like being from within his body that they can materialize and de-materialize at will. Dark Shadow appears as a static-y bird-like creature colored in dark purple and black, possessing arms but no legs, instead its lower body is a tail that connects to Fumikage's navel. It also has glowing yellow eyes (which turn red and jagged when at full power) and its head resembles Tokoyami's. Dark Shadow effectively acts like Fumikage's personal guardian, functioning as a living appendage that follows all of its master's commands. It is sentient, capable of speech, and loyally protects its host, regardless of the state it finds itself in. Dark Shadow is always connected to Fumikage's body through an "umbilical cord", even when it moves far away from him. However, Fumikage does not appear to share the same physical sensations as Dark Shadow, such as pain and weakness, or vice-versa, meaning that incapacitating just one of them will not prevent the other from acting out. It is somehow able to communicate with Fumikage telepathically, as well. Dark Shadow appears to possess the ability to change shape to some extent, as it can apparently extend the length of its arms and neck if so desired. It's said to be made of "dark energy", despite being a solid entity that can interact with the material world, but said energy has a limit, and Dark Shadow will retract into Fumikage's body when said limit runs out. Certain actions can make this energy drain out faster, like making Dark Shadow take too many opposing hits or having it distance itself too much from Fumikage's body. To recharge Dark Shadow, Fumikage needs to keep it hidden from any source of light. Dark Shadow's personality and offensive power depend on the surrounding brightness levels. Under strong light, Dark Shadow is small in comparison to when it is engrossed by darkness. Dark Shadow is docile when exposed to light, making it easy for Fumikage to control. However, it is also weaker and therefore less dangerous for the opponent in a fight. Dark Shadow's personality under the influence of darkness is the opposite of when it's exposed to light, becoming far more powerful and vicious while attacking anything that moves or makes sound indiscriminately. The drawback is that Dark Shadow is also more unruly and rebellious, being more difficult for Fumikage to be able to control it efficiently. According to Mezou Shouji, Fumikage's negative emotions (such as regret and indignation) can intensify this version of Dark Shadow, giving it enough power to defy Fumikage's commands and gradually take over his body with its expanding darkness. Once this happens, Dark Shadow is able to force Fumikage to move around against his will, leaving Fumikage with no control over his body. As part of his training, Fumikage trained in a dark cave to increase his control over Dark Shadow, even when darkness empowers his Quirk.

    Relationships:

    • Izuku Midoriya (Good friends since the U.A. Sports Festival. Their friendship is built upon a mutual respect towards each other. They teamed up along with Ochaco and Mei Hatsume during the Cavalry Battle. Fumikage respects Izuku as a leader, as he leaves him with making the decisions for their team. Izuku himself respects Fumikage's strength and the power of his Quirk, acknowledging him as one of the strongest combatants in Class 1-A. They later sit beside each other to watch the sports festival tournament).
    • Hawks (Took internship with. Fumikage also respects Hawks a lot).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Fumikage has continually shown to be one of the most powerful members of Class 1-A, equaling and sometimes surpassing the likes of Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugou, and Shouto Todoroki. Fumikage's skills allowed him to earn 9th place in the U.A. Entrance Exam, having the fifth-highest amount of villain points, fifth place in the Quirk Apprehension Test, and 3rd place at the U.A. Sports Festival. Fumikage has incredible proficiency with his Quirk: Dark Shadow, using it for attack and defense, boosting his mobility, and even aiding in rescue operations. Fumikage's abilities have received praise from several prominent and notably powerful characters, including the likes of All Might, Hawks, Izuku, Shouto, and Fat Gum. At the Sports Festival, he forced Momo Yaoyorozu, a recommended student, on the defensive and defeated her before she could fight back. Observing this spectacle, Izuku remarked that Fumikage is one of the strongest people regarding one-on-one battles. Later on, Fumikage held off Katsuki, another of the Class 1-A's strongest members, for some time despite having a Quirk-type disadvantage and Dark Shadow not reaching its full potential. All Might acknowledged Fumikage's strength and advised on how the latter could improve.
    • Enhanced Durability: Even without Dark Shadow, Fumikage is capable of withstanding vast amounts of damage.
    • Enhanced Reflexes: Fumikage has incredible reflexes.
    • Tactical Intellect: Even though he is not the most academically efficient, Fumikage has proven to have a strategic mind. He ordered Dark Shadow to guard his team's blind spot during the Human Cavalry Battle and grabbed one of Shoto's headbands when the opportunity arose.
    • Musical Talents: Fumikage has shown to be very skilled at playing the electric guitar.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Black Abyss (深淵闇躯, Burakku Anku): Fumikage dons and equips Dark Shadow onto himself, wearing it like a suit of armor or an exoskeleton. According to Fumikage, equipping Dark Shadow onto himself mitigates his close-range weaknesses. This Ultimate Move can also be known as Abyssal Black Body (深淵闇躯, Shin'en Anku). • Covert Black-Ops Arms (黒き腕の暗々裏, Kuroki Kaina no An'anri): Fumikage enlarges Dark Shadow's arms and smashes his targets with them. • Piercing Twilight Claws (宵闇よりし穿つ爪, Yoiyami Yorishi Ugatsu Tsume): Fumikage shoots out Dark Shadow's claw which attacks at great speed. • Sabbath (夜宴, Sabato): Fumikage changes from Black Fallen Angel to Black Abyss while maintaining his momentum to deliver a powerful blow. • Light of Baldur (光明, Barudoru): Fumikage uses his Total Release and Black Abyss to unleash a powerful punch against an opponent. This attack can also be empowered by Inasa Yoarashi's Whirlwind.
    • Black Fallen Angel (黒の堕天使, Kuro no Datenshi): It is a technique that Fumikage can devise under the tutelage of the Pro Hero Hawks. Fumikage rests his body on top of Dark Shadow and Dark Shadow uses his own levitation powers to carry Fumikage.
    • Ragnarök (終焉, Ragunaroku): When Dark Shadow is summoned in dark conditions, Dark Shadow's power grows exponentially to the point where he himself can't control it. At this time, Dark Shadow's power is enough to defeat some of the strongest villains in an instant. • Womb (胎, Tai): Fumikage summons an enlarged Dark Shadow towards an opponent, who then wraps around and swaddles itself around the target, preventing them from escaping. • Fleeting Blow (儚, Bō): Using Black Abyss to cover his body with his Dark Shadow, Fumikage channels the power of Ragnarök in his fist and hits his opponent with a massive claw attack.
    • Total Release (全解放, Zenkaihō): Fumikage charges Dark Shadow using several sources of darkness, then unleashes its full power against his opponents.

    Entry settings

    Full name: Shouto Todoroki (轟焦凍, Todoroki Shōto). Hero name: Shouto (ショート, Shōto). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: January 11. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born near Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: O. Family: Enji Todoroki (father, Pro Hero Endeavor); Rei Todoroki (hospitalized mother); Touya Todoroki (oldest brother, villain known as Dabi); Fuyumi Todoroki (older sister); Natsuo Todoroki (older brother). Seat in Class 1-A: 15. Fighting Style: Ranged Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Shouto is a pale-skinned boy with short hair that doesn't pass his neck and bangs that are parted twice to avoid obscuring his vision. His hair is evenly split between white on his right side and red on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. His eyes are quite thin and reserved, and as another effect of his Quirk, he also possesses heterochromia iridum — which causes his left eye's iris to appear turquoise, while his right is a dark gray. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He got this scar in his childhood, when his mother threw scalding water at him. His body is rather muscular and well-build for his age due to intese training as a child, standing at 176 centimeters/5'9¼" feet tall. He usually has a serious expression, but despite this, several of the girls in his class have claimed that he is quite handsome, as Mina Ashido even goes as far as to say that he's the best-looking guy in Class 1-A.

    Clothing: He wears the regular male U.A. uniform during school hours, albeit with the second button on his blazer unbuttoned and replacing the usual brown dress shoe with casual pale cyan and gray lace-up sneakers.

    Hero costume: Shouto's hero costume consists of a dark blue heat-resistant jacket with elbow-length sleeves, its collar high, with a cooling/heating device within it and joined in the center by a gray neckpiece. His baggy pants of the same color as his jacket, a metal-plated tactical vest which now functions as both a heater and radiator and white boots similar to his initial costume, with the soles equipped with spikes and a thin line running down the center of each of them a darker pale gray. He also sports a brown utility belt around his waist, which can hold four little metal capsules containing medical supplies hanging off the front. This is Shouto's second and current hero costume.

    Potential Hero Costume Upgrade: A potential upgrade to Shouto's current hero costume can include two red wrist guards with metal plating, which can help regulate his body temperature after his attacks, and his boots can have a set of straps on the top of the foot. For further upgrades, his wrist guards can feature armor-like bracing and be accompanied by plating from his wrist to his knuckles, and can stores up heat and cold to help condense his power. They can also have straps. His jacket can become more heat resistant, featuring a large gray-blue T-shaped stripe, representing his last name, going from his waist to his armpits, and his utility belt can be beige with red accents. The upgraded utility belt can also hold nine capsules, with two contained in two larger canisters strapped to his sides.

    First Hero Costume: Shouto's initial hero costume consisted of a plain off-white shirt with matching pants and boots, with two gold-colored straps going over his shoulders, which attach to a similar colored tactical vest, which function as a heater. He had what appeared to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side, even his head with the eye socket glowing red, although it was detachable, which he wore to reject the fire aspect of his Quirk.

    Personality/History: Originally Shouto was a stoic, aloof and cold boy due to his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and unemotional, he preferred to keep things to himself instead of hanging out with others. After the events of the U.A. Sports Festival, however, Shouto notably became more sociable and kinder than ever before, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, although still retaining some fragments of his previous distant attitude and nonchalant demeanor. Nonetheless, Shouto is not quite used to socializing yet, coming off as a bit dense when understanding certain phrases and figures of speech or when trying to read between the lines. Shouto is usually quiet and reserved, preferring to stay alone and not speaking much, but he will be rude when provoked. He possesses a moderate level of arrogance, which, combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes made him take the initiative without considering the opinions of others, displaying confidence that he could take on any obstacles with his own strength. Shouto is pursued by many girls because of his status and attractiveness, but he doesn’t seem to care very much and is oblivious to their advances. He has a deep hatred towards Endeavor — the number 2 hero who is his dad, real name Enji Todoroki — because of the abuse he provoked towards his entire family, enduring harsh training due to his father's wish for Shouto to surpass All Might, being viewed as basically a tool. Shouto often felt bothered by Endeavor's mere presence, and could barely contain his anger while talking to him, especially whenever the Pro Hero brought up the purpose he had intended for his son since before birth. Ironically though, Shouto's animosity towards his father made him more like how Endeavor was, being apathetic and indifferent towards others while obsessively focusing on his own goal of rejecting his father. Upon first meeting him, Inasa noticed that Shouto had the same hate-filled glare that Endeavor had due to his hatred driving him while simultaneously holding him back from his full potential. During his match with Izuku in the U.A. Sports Festival, Izuku's speech made the memory of his mother's supportive words resurface, and for the first time since his childhood, Shouto used his firepower in combat. After the battle, Shouto had mixed feelings about using his left side, but after reconciling with his mother, Shouto eventually came to terms with the half he once hated and became willing to train it further, now realizing that it is his Quirk and not his father's. Shouto draws his heroic values from All Might, a trait he shares with Izuku and Katsuki Bakugou, having fond memories of watching the Symbol of Peace on television with Rei. Despite his difficult past, Shouto doesn't allow his hatred of Endeavor to completely cloud his judgement and still acknowledges him for his skills and capabilities as one of Japan's top Heroes. He chose to intern at his father's agency during the Hero Agency Internships, although he made it clear that this was purely for his own benefit and learning experience rather than any desire to spend time with him. Shouto is quite reflective of his own growth, realizing how much Izuku's words had changed his perspective and how better he became.

    Quirk(s): Half-Cold Half-Hot (半冷半燃, Hanrei Han'nen) — Emitter-Type Quirk. Half-Cold Half-Hot allows the user to generate ice, frost, and cold from the right side of their body, and fire, flames, and heat from the left. However, the user is unable to manipulate either element that comes from an external source; they can only create them from their body. The Quirk's power is perfectly divided between the right and left sides of the user's body. This gives the user two powerful, separate methods of combat that they may use regardless of the other. The user needs to constantly alternate the use of both elements, heating themselves with the left side after creating a great volume of ice or cooling with the right side after generating strong flames. Overuse of either side without the other to regulate their body temperature could lead to either frostbite or overheating affecting their whole body, with possibly fatal consequences. Half-Cold Half-Hot stems from the fusion of the Hellflame Quirk of Shouto's father, Enji Todoroki, and the Frost Quirk from his mother, Rei Todoroki, through a Quirk Marriage. As part of his training, Shouto sat in a barrel of water and alternated between using ice and fire to regulate the temperature of the water. It helped his body become accustomed to the cold, and he learned better control over his flames. Shouto does not begin to open up and use his fire side until after the sports festival when Izuku convinces him to use it, for the longest time shunning the side inherited from his father as it reminded him of his wickedness towards him and his mother as well as what he was born to be: a tool to surpass All Might, a fate that he detested. As such, Shouto decided to rely solely on his freezing power and never use the other half of his Quirk in battles (save only for melting his ice), going so far as to cover his left torso and arm with ice in his first Hero Costume to symbolize his rebellion against his father. During his match with Izuku in the U.A. Sports Festival, Izuku's speech made the memory of his mother's supportive words resurface, and for the first time since his childhood, Shouto used his firepower in combat. After the battle, Shouto had mixed feelings about using his left side, but after reconciling with his mother, Shouto eventually came to terms with the half he once hated and became willing to train it further, now realizing that it is his Quirk, not his father's.

    Relationships:

    • Enji Todoroki/Endeavor (father — though Shouto dislikes him heavily. Despite his difficult past, Shoto doesn't allow his hatred of Endeavor to completely cloud his judgement and still acknowledges him for his skills and capabilities as one of Japan's top Heroes. He chose to intern at his father's agency during the Hero Agency Internships, although he made it clear that this was purely for his own benefit and learning experience rather than any desire to spend time with him. Shouto takes heroic aspirations from All Might instead).
    • Rei Todoroki (mother — who he loves deeply. Despite being scarred by her as a young child, Shoto shows no hate or disliking towards his mother, visiting her often ever since the end of the Sports Festival).
    • Touya Todoroki/Dabi (first older brother — though he disappeared from Shouto's life when he was very young due to an accident. Shouto slightly remembers him from his childhood memories. In the past, Shouto would always watch him, Fuyumi, and Natsuo play together, often wanting to join them, but his father prevented any interactions between them. It is possible that he has often looked up to his oldest sibling as a somewhat role model for him despite having no interactions with Touya because he disappeared from Shouto's life at a young age, going missing in an accident shortly after their mother's hospitalization. Shouto doesn't know what happened to Touya afterwards, nor does he know that he turned into the villain Dabi).
    • Fuyumi Todoroki (older sister As a child, Shouto always watched his sister play with their brothers from afar, while he was isolated from her, forced to focus on training by their father. However, as they got older, they seem to interact more frequently and became closer. Shouto gets along with Fuyumi, comfortable in telling her that he was visiting their mother).
    • Natsuo Todoroki (second older brother. With the rest of his siblings, Enji isolated Shouto from his second-eldest brother, Natsuo, to train as a child. Shouto could only watch from afar as they played, wanting to join them. By their later teenage years, the two are no longer living in the same house, living in the dorms of their respective schools. They seem to have be on good terms).
    • Class 1-A (While not deliberately antisocial, Shouto initially came off as distant from his class due to his singular focus in overcoming his father, which would lead him to not make many friends. Despite this, the class would largely overlook this due to his raw power, and was quickly seen by all of them as the most talented in his class, earning their respect especially compared to the volatile Katsuki Bakugou. After the sports festival, Shouto began trying to socialize more with them. In turn, the class all respect Shouto for his skill and strength, and even seek to get him to open up more. By doing this, he has formed meaningful friendships with many of his peers, and eventually becomes seen as one of the class's unofficial leaders. It can even be argued that he is by far the most popular kid in the class despite his demeanor, with a few of the girls in his class even being implied to be attracted to him).
    • Izuku Midoriya (as he did with the rest of the class, Shouto initially thought little of Izuku until he overheard Tenya Iida and Ochako Uraraka saying how similar Izuku's powers were to All Might and that All Might in turn seemed to take a liking to him. Suspecting a deeper connection, Shouto then deemed Izuku his arch-rival. Shouto's interactions with Izuku were of a serious nature, but became more antagonistic during the sports festival. This resulted in him directly challenging Izuku in the festival in front of the whole class, which took the rest of class (including Izuku) by surprise. After Izuku made him use his fire power during the Human Cavalry Battle, Shouto became even angrier with Izuku and confronted him directly about the connection with All Might, though he initially assumed that Izuku was All Might's illegitimate child. After Izuku denied this, Shouto told Izuku his back story and declared to him that he would surpass him using only his ice powers, and in the process disown his father. Despite this hostility, Izuku has a lot of respect for Shouto, admitting that he is far stronger than him. Izuku began to show sympathy for Shouto after seeing his sadness and resolved to help him, rather than focusing on winning. During the final clash in their battle, Shouto thanked Izuku for helping him see that he's not his father, allowing him to finally use his left side without personal strife. After his fight with Izuku, Shouto begun to acknowledge Izuku's powers, noting that he is a person compelled to help people no matter what. As a result, the two became good friends with each other, and Shouto even eventually begins to look up to Izuku, seeing him as a reliable role model and valuing Izuku as the person who saved Shouto from himself. Shouto has gained respect towards Izuku for his strength, and how he acts to help people, regardless of the risk and cost to himself. He is willing to go along with any plans Izuku formulates, showing that he trusts his judgement. In the Vs. Hero Killer Arc, when Izuku sends out a message for emergency back-up, Shouto is the first and only to arrive, telling his father that his friend needed his help, showing that he views Izuku as a friend now. Shouto was even amazed by Izuku gaining more control of his Quirk. After the Final Exams, Izuku is seen worrying about Shouto's feelings, especially towards his father).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (rivals. Shouto and Katsuki have interacted a few times such as in the Obstacle Race during the Sports Festival where they had a brief scuffle for first place, and before they faced each other in the final match of the Sports Festival's tournament event. Shouto appears to not be fond of Katsuki's aggressive personality and doesn't seem to see Katsuki as a rival. On the other hand, Katsuki was shown to be envious of Shouto's strength after seeing him in the Battle Trial. However, Katsuki dislikes Shouto's cold attitude. Unlike Izuku, Katsuki doesn't seem to care about Shoto's problems or feelings. It seems that by the end of the first semester, Shouto and Katsuki appear to be neutral with each other, enough for them to have limited social interactions with each other without hostility).
    • Momo Yaoyorozu (good friends. Although their interactions have been minimal, Momo and Shouto are generally friendly towards one another. Shotuo has many similarities to Momo; they both are students who got into U.A. through recommendations, hail from famous Hero families, and have powerful Quirks. Shouto clearly respects Momo's intelligence and abilities. He chose her for the Human Cavalry Battle in the U.A. Sports Festival, and voted for her during the class rep election. Shouto even told Momo he believed that she excelled at the role of being a leader and gave a vote for her in being class representative. Momo, meanwhile, considers Shouto as the most capable student in their class. During the practical portion of the Final Exams, Shouto is partnered with Momo against Shouta Aizawa. He appeared to be oblivious that Momo's low self-esteem bridged from comparing herself to him. When his plan backfired, he apologized for not asking if Momo had an idea as well. When Momo expressed her doubts out loud, Shouto comforted her by telling her that he respected her, and to have faith in her own capabilities. After being captured by their teacher, Shouto encouraged Momo to believe in herself as a leader. They worked together to outwit Shouta and managed to pass their finals. After the fight, the two heroes-in-training become closer, recognizing their problems).
    • Tenya Iida (Shouto appears to be on good terms with Tenya, respecting Tenya for his incredible speed after their battle in the U.A. Sports Festival; Tenya appears to also respect Shouto for having the behavior of a true Hero).
    • Ochako Uraraka (okay friends).
    • Tsuyu Asui (Although they do not interact with each other that much, Shouto and Tsuyu appear to be on good terms, and are friends. They both sit at the same lunch table with Izuku, Ochako, Tenya, and Touru).
    • All Might (Shouto was conceived and trained by his father for the sole purpose of surpassing All Might. However, while Shouto does express this desire, it does not appear to be as heavy as Endeavor's; rather, Shouto respects and admires All Might. When he was younger, he would also watch All Might on tv with his mother, and was inspired by All Might's words of an individual's Quirk being their own despite lineage and wants to be a hero just like him).
    • Shouta Aizawa (His relationship with his homeroom teacher is good. Generally, he does not cause him as many problems as Izuku and Katsuki, although Shouta knows that Shouto also has his own issues to overcome).
    • Stain (Shouto was disgusted with Stain's ideals of killing "fake" Pro Heroes in order to achieve justice, going so far as to tell Tenya to pay no heed to him. Stain appeared to respect Shouto's strength and selfless attitude to save his friends).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Having been trained by his father, Endeavor, at a young age, Shouto entered U.A. High School through recommendations and has been established as one of the most powerful students in Class 1-A. He earned 2nd place in both the Quirk Apprehension Test and U.A. Sports Festival. Shouto also has a great handle over his versatile and powerful Quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, which grants him incredible dual-element capabilities. Using the right side of his body, Shouto can drastically lower temperatures and freeze anything he touches, and generate ice that he can freely mold into numerous constructs that include ice waves to cover large areas and ice barriers for defense. Shouto also employs his cryokinetic abilities for mobility purposes, such as stacking ice shards behind his back to propel himself forward, glaciating the ground to skate on it, or his signature move, creating trails of ice on which he can surf. From the left side of his body, Shouto can eloquently increase thermokinetics and release scorching hot flames in the form of consuming streams or protective waves. Overall, Shouto has tremendous power, but because of past decisions and circumstances, such as his intentional neglect of one half of his Quirk, he has yet to reach his full potential.
    • Enhanced Durability: Shouto has proven himself to be quite resilient, being able to withstand multiple attacks from Izuku, including a direct, One For All-enhanced punch at 5% strength to the stomach, without sustaining major injuries.
    • Enhanced Stamina: Shouto has shown to endure combat even while injured. For example, in his battle with Stain, he was able to continue fighting and supporting his allies despite suffering from multiple bleeding injuries on his arm and face, and was still able to drag the villain's unconscious body once the battle is over.
    • Enhanced Agility: Shouto is fast, agile, and has quick reflexes. He was able to keep first place during most of the Obstacle Race during the Sports Festival thanks to his athletic ability. He repeatedly created ice walls within a split second to prevent himself from getting thrown out of the ring through his matchups with Izuku and Katsuki. He was the only one in Class 1-A capable of at least partly reacting to and dodging Tenya's Recipro Burst. He could also partially dodge a knife thrown at his face and several other attacks by Stain, a notably swift opponent.
    • Keen Intellect: Shouto has proven to be a very intelligent person. And despite his training, Shoto is also very skilled in academics, having scored 5th place in the midterms. During the U.S.J. Incident, Shouto accurately extrapolated that the invading villains had a Quirk user amongst their ranks that could jam communications. At the same time, he realized the attacking villains had an agenda and interrogated some of them to get answers. Shouto's theory was proven correct, as the villain's goal was to kill All Might. Shouto also deduced Izuku had a connection to All Might after observing Izuku's power and matching it to that of All Might when the latter was fighting Nomu. Though on point about Izuku's link to the Symbol of Peace, Shouto incorrectly believed Izuku might be All Might's secret love child. Shortly before the Hosu Incident, Shouto noticed the look of anger in Tenya's eyes and easily surmised that he was only taking up an internship in Hosu City to seek vengeance on the Hero Killer: Stain. While on patrol in Hosu, Shouto was able to work out the location of Izuku, Tenya, and Stain from an emergency call and arrive in time; however, he did complain it took a while, as Izuku didn't relay more than the exact location. When he and Momo Yaoyorozu were paired together to face Eraser Head for their First Term Final Exam, Shouto suggested that Momo continuously creates random objects until she was unable to do so, which would signify that the Eraser Hero is nearby, all in attempt to lure him out and act as a diversion so Momo can make her way to the escape gate. Shouto's strategy worked, but as explained by Eraser Head, it was too offensive-oriented, as Shouto had placed the burden on himself and needed to trust Momo more. After being scolded by his teacher and approached by his returning classmate, Shouto admitted to being aware of Momo having a plan from the start of their matchup and not inquiring about it before properly cooperating with her.
    • Indomitable Will: Shouto has a highly undaunted spirit, not easily giving in to intimidation that would disrupt his focus, maintaining a cool head, and pushing through adversity. Initially, Shoto was jaded and aloof due to the abuse he and his family received from Endeavor's previous callousness, resulting in Shoto refusing to use his left side in battles as a sign of rejecting his father. Once the U.A. Sports Festival was underway, Shoto was considerably hellbent on not using his fire powers. Still, this misguided determination was corrected when he faced Izuku, who vehemently expressed that those powers belong to Shoto, nobody else. This encouragement triggered a latent memory within Shoto's psyche, as he recalled how his mother, Rei Todoroki, and All Might said those exact words that inspired Shoto to be a hero who can put people at ease with a smile, just like All Might himself. Remembering both these passionate words and his resolve, Shoto was free from the turmoil that stirred inside of him, finally used the power housed within his left side, and expressed how he, like Izuku, will be a hero and was grateful to Izuku for saving him from the emotional shackles that were weighing him down. Unfortunately, despite willingly using the power of his left side, Shouto still had some level of uncertainty afterward. While battling Katsuki, as Eraser Head explained, Shouto lost his spark following his previous match with Izuku, causing him not to give 100% of his strength. As Shouto became paralyzed with doubt, Izuku cheered him on, encouraging him to do his best, once again reigniting Shouto's will to fight and use his ignikinesis. Yet at the last second, before clashing with Katsuki, Shouto's inner turmoil was too prevalent, causing him to extinguish his conflagration and, in turn, lose the battle against Katsuki. Following the Sports Festival, Shouto has fortified his drive, becoming more than willing to use his pyrokinetic abilities in battle and even having the courage to finally face his mother, Rei, who previously, albeit in a mentally unstable state, gave Shouto the scar over his left eye.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall (穿天氷壁, Gaten Hyōheki): Shouto creates an enormous ice glacier, that can either encapsulate his opponent or block the immediate field of battle in ice. This move is first used in his battle against Hanta Sero in the Sports Festival but is unnamed until the Final Exams. He noted to Hanta that it was more powerful than necessary, but he was irritated (from talking with Endeavor) and overdid it. A variation of this move, slightly smaller in size, but more controllable, is shown in his battle against Katsuki.
    • Wall of Flames (炎の壁, Honō no Kabe): Shouto uses his left side to generate a burst of flames that covers a large area. This is both a defensive and offensive attack like his Giant Ice Wall technique. It can be used to attack multiple opponents and create space between Shouto and his target.
    • Flashfreeze Heatwave (膨冷熱波, Bōrei Neppa): To use this technique, Shouto first cools the air around him with his ice powers. Shouto then switches to his fire, rapidly heating and expanding the air around him. This allows him to release a superheated blast. He first uses this attack against Izuku at the climax of their match in the Sports Festival.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Flashfire Fist (赫灼熱拳, Kaku Shakunekken): Endeavor's signature technique, which can be passed down to Shouto himself. The user increases the temperature of their flames to their maximum and compresses them to a white-hot point, maximizing their power. • Hell Spider (ヘルスパイダー, Heru Supaidā): Shouto concentrates his fire and emits it out of his fingertips, allowing him to cut through objects. • Jet Kindling (噴流熾炎, Funryūshien): Shouto concentrates his flames into a white-hot point on his fist and punches his opponent. On contact, a violent explosion of flames burst out of Shouto's arm, severely burning his target.
    • Phosphor (燐, Rin): Shouto circulates both halves of his Quirk throughout his body, merging the fire and ice into one ability. This Ultimate Move can also serve as a basis for other moves Shouto uses. • Coldflame's Pale Blade (冷炎白刃, Reien Hakujin): Using the combination powers of Phosphor, Shouto throws a piece of the conjoined fire and ice at his opponent, launching them a great distance backward.
    • Great Glacial Aegir (大氷海嘯, Daihyō Kaishō): Shouto builds up his fire and ice, rushes toward his opponent, hits them with his fist and unleashes a massive wave of cold fire, able to extinguish the hottest of flames, as well as cover a massive section of terrain completely in ice.

    Stats:

    • Power: 6/6 (S).
    • Speed: 5/6 (A).
    • Technique: 4/6 (B-).
    • Intelligence: 4/6 (B).
    • Cooperativeness: 3/6 (C).
    • Soba Love: 5/6 (A).

    Equipment:

    • Hero Costume: Shouto's second costume is designed to optimize the use of both his fire and ice sides in combat, and diminish the drawbacks of Shoto's Quirk as much as possible by regulating his body temperature. • Temperature Resistant Jacket: Shouto's blue jacket is made from a special fire-resistant fiber. There is a special device near the neck that senses Shouto's body temperature and supports the vest to help regulate it. • Combat Vest: The device on Shouto's back is capable of sensing Shouto's body temperature and automatically heats up or cools down accordingly. Shouto requested his original costume had a device that heated up. • Utility Belt: There are metal capsules on Shouto's belt that contain water, pain medication, and disinfectants, making up a first aid kit. • Snow Boots: Shouto is outfitted with a pair of white snow boots with spikes under the soles that prevent Shoto from slipping on his own ice.

    Potential Future Equipment:

    • Hero Costume Upgrade: Shouto's hero costume can be further enhanced to accommodate his increased firepower and new abilities, and includes additional first aid equipment for emergencies.
    • Temperature Resitant Jacket Upgrade: the upgrade costume's jacket is made of a more heat-resistant material and is stiffer than before.
    • Utility Belt Upgrade: the upgraded costume adds an additional four first aid capsules which brings the total to nine; these are held in packs at both his sides.
    • "Surge Arm" Gauntlets: Further upgrading from his second costume, Shouto can replace his wrist guards with gauntlets similar to those used by his father Endeavor. While his current costume's wrist guards are made from the same material as his vest, these gauntlets are metal and are designed to hold hot and cold air within them in order to help Shouto compress his ice and fire powers better.

    Trivia: Shouto's surname contains the kanji for "to roar, a roaring fire" (轟, todoroki), and his first name contains "burning" (焦, shō) and "freezing" (凍, to). • "Todoroki" is a relatively common Japanese surname.

    • His hero name "Shouto" (ショート Shōto) is written in katakana as an act of self-realization. It removes the meaning of the original spelling in kanji, allowing him to define himself outside of Endeavor's ambitions and desires.
    • According to Shouto's Volume 2 profile: • His favorite food is Zaru (cold) Soba. • He may have been the first Class 1-A character conceived after Izuku, Katsuki, and Ochako, who were planned since way before the school setting was decided.
    • Shouto's known U.A. academic data is as follows: • Shouto ranked 2nd in the U.A. Recommendation Entrance Exam. • Shouto is student No. 15 in Class 1-A. • Shouto ranked 5th in Class 1-A's mid-term scores. • Shouto ranked 2nd during Shota's Quirk Apprehension Test. • Shouto was the Runner-Up of The U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. • Shouto received a total of 4,123 nominations from Pro Heroes for his U.A. Sports Festival performance, making him the most nominated Class 1-A student.
    • According to Shouto's Ultra Analysis profile: • Aside from being Endeavor's son, Shouto also gained popularity for his performance in the Sports Festival. • His personality is described as "a cool and hot airhead".
    • Since Shouto's eyes and hair show physical separation where the halves of his Quirk divide, he may have the genetic anomaly known as chimerism, which would make him a chimera.
    • Shouto and Izuku share the same costume designer.
    • Shouto is so far the only student to have gone through a radical change of costume, having abandoned all elements of his first one except for the boots.

    Shouto's father, Enji Todoroki, better known as the Flame Hero: Endeavor, was always overshadowed by All Might and viewed as the No. 2 Pro Hero, regardless of his impressive crime-solving record. Enji developed a strong obsession with surpassing All Might, to the point where he arranged a Quirk Marriage with the Himura family's daughter Rei for her ice Quirk, in order to conceive a child strong enough to be capable of surpassing All Might. Although Enji aimed to create a child who would inherit the powers of both his fire and Rei's ice, this would fail with all of Shouto's older siblings; his oldest brother Touya, who inherited an even more powerful fire Quirk, but his mother's resistance to ice which made his body sensitive to his own flames, and his older brother and sister, Natsuo and Fuyumi, who only inherited their mother's ice Quirk. When Shouto was born with signs of a dual fire and ice Quirk, Enji was relieved to finally have a child with the Quirk he desired and hoped that this would cause Touya to give up on training his Quirk to become the No. 1 Hero. However, Touya continued to train and was obsessively determined to be acknowledged by his father. Driven by jealousy and resentment towards Shouto for replacing him, Touya snapped and rushed towards an infant Shouto, attempting to attack him with his Quirk but was quickly stopped by Enji. After this incident, Shouto was separated from his older siblings. Enji also prevented Shouto from interacting with his siblings, who were free from training and allowed to play with each other. Shouto envied the fun they had and wished to join them, but his father forbade it, telling Shouto that they lived in a different world than the one he was training him for. He soon began to despise his training and resented Enji for abusing him and his mother. During those times, Rei was always there to support him. Despite the abuse she and her son suffered, she still nevertheless encouraged Shouto to become a hero. One night, they were watching a TV special featuring All Might. He encouraged children to make their powers their own, even if they inherited their parents' abilities. Agreeing with All Might's advice, Rei told Shouto that he was not a prisoner of his bloodline, and could use his powers to become whoever he desired, regardless of Endeavor being his father. Even though Shouto was chosen as Enji's successor, Touya kept on improving his Quirk in secret in order to make his father acknowledge him and be happy that he was born. When Enji discovered that Touya was still training and burning himself, he lashed out and hit Rei for not stopping him. Crying and screaming, Shouto tried to defend his mother, yelling at Enji not to bully her, but his father told Shouto to stay out of it. Enji's behavior and treatment towards his family continued to worsen, and in the process, resulted in Rei beginning to fear her husband. Rei eventually broke down under Enji's abuse and grew unsettled by her children due to their resemblance to him, even finding Shouto's left side unbearable to look at. One day, Shouto overheard her talking with her mother over the phone, having realized that she no longer had the mental stability to raise her son. Startled by his sudden appearance and triggered by his red hair, she snapped and poured a kettle over his head, giving him a severe burn over the left side of his face. Rei quickly came back to her senses and realized what she had done, frantically apologizing to Shouto while using her ice Quirk to try and soothe the burn. Sometime after this incident, Shouto asked Enji where his mother was, to which he coldly replied that he sent her to the hospital for hurting him. Shouto blamed Enji, saying that everything that happened was his fault. Afterwards, Shouto began to forget about his mother's supportive words, putting him under the idea of rejecting his father no matter what. Shortly after this incident, Touya seemingly died, which resulted in Enji going all in with his harsh training, feeling as though he couldn't turn back after having "killed" Touya. Shouto's dark upbringing left him to focus on nothing but rejecting his father. Driven by his resentment, he became cold and distant towards other people.

    Full Name: Tohru Hagakure (葉隠透, Hagakure Tōru). Hero Name: Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl (ステルスヒーロー インビジブルガール, Suterusu Hīrō: Inbijiburu Gāru.) Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Female. Age: 16. Birthday: June 16. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Tokyo, Japan). Blood Type: A. Seat in Class 1-A: 16. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat; Stealth. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Tohru is invisible and can't be seen under normal circumstances. She is only identifiable through held or worn objects, like clothing and accessories. But if her Quirk suffers a glitch or is disabled in someway, she becomes visible. Tohru is a fair-skinned girl with long (upper-back-length), messy, wavy, multicolored hair — which is mainly chartreuse, but also consists of turquoise, yellow and pink; bushy eyelashes of the same mix of colors, and big round eyes, with irises that are teal on the outside and yellow on the inside. Her body is slender and curvy, standing at 152 centimeters/5 feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours she wears the standard female U.A. uniform, with nothing out of the ordinary.

    Hero costume: Due to the nature of her Quirk, Touru's hero costume consists only of a pair of simple light blue gloves decorated by pale pink lines and light brownish-gray lace-up shoes. Her winter costume includes plain knee-high boots and slightly thicker gloves with dark blue padding on the back of the fingers and hands. These gloves are designed specifically for combat. Currently, Touru wears a set of gloves that are a blend between her simple and combat design.

    Personality/History: Tohru is a bubbly, cheery, and easygoing girl who does most things with an upbeat attitude, even when manipulated, such as when she encouraged the other Class 1-A girls to cheerlead during the U.A. Sports Festival due to having the spare time. She is very socially eager and likes shopping, and her room suggests that she likes plushies and other cute things. Like Mina Ashido, Tohru also appears to be something of a romantic, eagerly wanting to hear who Ochako Uraraka was interested in and encouraging the other girls to talk about love during their slumber party. She believes that taking off her clothes during battle is a tactical advantage, much to the awkwardness of those around her. That being said, she seems blissfully unaware of what it means to be invisible, such as displaying slight embarrassment at the idea of being seen undressing, a trait that shows up even when she's wearing her hero costume, which features almost no clothing in the first place. In general, Tohru's invisible body is primarily used as a source of comic relief. Despite this, Tohru is by no means a pushover. An energetic, yet focused and reliable member of Class 1-A, she is always ready to lend a hand, be it in battle or helping to support and provide for others when needed. Tohru also has an observant and curious side, which makes her capable of discovering secrets or notice oddities that others haven't caught up yet. Tohru is also rather emotionally fragile, not taking things like betrayal particularly well.

    Backstory: Tohru Hagakure is the only child in her family, who all share the same Quirk: Invisibility. At some point, she graduated junior high and enrolls into U.A. High School, and passed her U.A. Entrance Exam. Soon after enrolling, she was assigned to Class 1-A.

    Quirk(s): Invisibility (透明化, Tōmeika) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Tohru's parents also possess this Quirk. Invisibility grants the user a completely invisible body. Because of Invisibility, none of Touru's physical features can be observed through the naked eye, making it hard to detect her presence or read her emotions unless she announces them herself. While unexplained, this Quirk also involves a degree of light manipulation, giving Tohru the ability to refract light from her prism-like, invisible body. Tohru however has yet to learn how to utilize/refine this aspect of her Quirk. Tohru's parents are shown to be invisible like her, though it is unknown whether they have the same light manipulating abilities as their daughter. Invisibility does not extend to clothing or objects, meaning that Touru needs to constantly strip off her clothes in order for her Quirk to be useful. However, going fully naked also exposes her skin to the elements and, therefore, her body may be affected by extreme temperatures. Certain Quirks can also help detect or reveal Tohru's presence, such as Mezou Shouji's Dupli-Arms enhancing his sensory capabilities and giving him a better chance of finding her. Another example is Kinoko Komori's Mushroom Quirk that can cover her with fungi and reveal her silhouette. Invisibility is permanently active and cannot be switched off. However, refracting light from Touru's body can reveal her true appearance due to the Invisibility Quirk suffering a "glitch". As part of her training, she worked on improving her stealth prowess by remaining undetected from the sensory-efficient Mezou.

    Relationships:

    • Mashirao Ojiro (Close friends).
    • Kyouka Jirou (Good friends).
    • Mezou Shouji (On good terms. They also work well as a team).
    • Ochako Uraraka (Tohru appears to be friends with Ochako, if not on good terms at least. The two usually hang out with the other girls outside of class, be it in U.A.'s cafeteria or in U.A. Alliances' lounge room).
    • Shouto Todoroki (The two have not interacted much, but Tohru admires Shouto's strength).
    • Tohru is on good terms/friends with all the girls of Class 1-A.

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Tohru greatly excels in stealth and espionage thanks to her Quirk, Invisibility, making her the stealthiest student in Class 1-A. Tohru can easily bypass regular visual detection, making her ideal for ambushes, spy missions, and attack evasions. However, those advantages are only feasible if she lacks clothing and equipment, as such objects don't become unseen like the rest of her body. Aside from her stealth capabilities, Tohru also possesses melee-combat prowess. Her primary fighting style involves taking advantage of her invisibility to launch surprise attacks that are extremely difficult to defend against and then directly attacking her opponents with a barrage of punches, kicks, and, in certain situations, uses light to warp into laser attacks. She also has good camaraderie, having her comrades run interface against opponents and then using her incognito skills to initiate clandestine assaults, and vice versa.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Warp Refraction: Say Cheese! (集光屈折: ハイチーズ, Shūkō Kussetsu: Hai Chīzu): Tohru warps sunlight into bright flashes to temporarily blind opponents. Tohru is likely to learn this move during her Hero-Work Studies, where a professional hero can teach her how to use the prism-like properties of her body — though she could perhaps learn how to use them and this move at an earlier point. • Warp Refraction: Navel Laser (集光屈折 ネビルレーザー, Shūkō Kussetsu Nebiru Rēzā): Tohru manipulates the light produced by Yuuga's Navel Laser Quirk, spreading the light in all directions, blinding and damaging anything in the vicinity

    Stats:

    • Power: 2/6 (D).
    • Speed: 3/6 (C).
    • Technique: 5/6 (A).
    • Intelligence: 4/6 (B).
    • Cooperativeness: 6/6 (S).
    • Transparency: 6/6 (S).

    Trivia:

    • According to Tohru's Volume 2 profile: • Touru's favorite food are caramels. • Touru's favorite things are dokkiri (hidden-camera surprise pranks) shows.
    • According to Tohru's Ultra Analysis profile: • Her cheery outbursts and wild movements are a result of her wanting attention drawn to herself. • She's the most stereotypical high school girl in the class. • Her personality is described as "bright and cheery".
    • Tohru's surname contains the kanji for "leaf" (葉, ha) and "to disappear" (隠, gakure), and her first name contains "transparent" (透, tōru). • When read as one word, Tohru's surname means "hidden in leaves" (葉隠, hagakure). This is likely a reference to the following quote by G.K. Chesterton: "Where does a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest." • "Hagakure" is the name of a book, also known as "The Book of the Samurai" written in Japan in the 1700s during the Edo period when Japan had no domestic or international conflict. It recounts thoughts on how Bushido can be applied in a time of peace. It became popular again during the Pacific War. Perhaps the title is meant to reference a warrior that is hidden, unseen when not needed.
    • While Tohru's costume only consists of gloves and shoes, it bypassed the law regarding exposed skin in Hero costumes due to her being invisible. If the fact that Tohru's Quirk can glitch is discovered, she may need to revisit this issue.
    • Her hero name, Invisible Girl, used to be the hero name of Susan "Sue" Storm, now known as the Invisible Woman, from the Fantastic Four.

    Entry settings

    Full name: Katsuki Bakugou (爆豪勝己, Bakugō Katsuki). Nicknames: Katchan (Childhood nickname given by Izuku Midoriya when the two of them where very young. He's called that mainly by Izuku). Hero name: Mostly Undecided. Katsuki at first chose "King Explosion Murder" (爆殺王, Bakusatsu Ō) as a codename when Class 1-A was deciding on hero codenames for the internships, but Midnight suggested to change since it was too violent. He then changed it to "Lord Explosion Murder" (爆殺卿, Bakusatsu Kyō) and Midnight commented that it was basically the same thing. Currently, Katsuki's Hero codename is Lord Explosion Murder, but there's a high likelyhood that he'll change his hero name. There's a likely chance he can change his hero name to "Dynamight" (ダイナマイト, Dainamaito), but knowing Katsuki, he'll likely accompany that with over-the-top and aggressive titles, like: Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight (大•爆•殺•神ダイナマイト, Daibakusasshin Dainamaito). Alternatively, "Ground Zero" is another possible name. Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: April 20. Blood Type: A. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born near Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan). Family: Mitsuki Bakugou (mother); Masaru Bakugou (father). The Bakugou family is a family of three. Both parents are very loving towards their only child, however, they do not approve of their son's arrogance. All Might has commented that their family is the most dysfunctional one he has ever seen. Seat in Class 1-A: 17. Fighting Style: Close + Ranged Combat.

    Appearance: Katsuki is a fair skinned boy with short, spiky, sandy blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows, with eyes that are sharp and intense, with bright red irises. His face holds an angry expression most of the time. His body is slim and muscular, standing at 172 centimeters/5'8" feet tall.

    Clothing: during school hours, he wears the standard U.A. uniform without the customary red tie. A few buttons are undone at the top of his white collared shirt, and his pants are worn loosely, sagging at his ankles despite him wearing a belt with them.

    Hero costume: Bakugou's hero costume consists consists of a tight, black, sleeveless tank top featuring an orange "X" across the middle, creating a V-neck design. There are two black dots along the left side of the collar, which is the trademark of his costume's designer, Sasori Nimaru. The outfit includes a metallic neck brace with rectangular ends, each having three holes on either side. He wears black sleeves that extend from large, grenade-like gauntlets up to his biceps, finishing with thin orange tips. A green and orange belt, equipped with grenades that store Bakugou's sweat and allows him to fire greater explosions by pulling their pins, secures his baggy pants that have green straps and knee guards. On his feet, he sports black, knee-high combat boots with orange soles, eight eyelets, and straps at the top. His mask is jagged and black, with a large, orange-rimmed flare shape protruding from each side around the eyes. In the winter months, he wears a large jacket with a high collar and four orange eyelets on the collar and two on each shoulder, rather than the usual tank top, although it does maintain the same orange "X" design, the purpose of which he can still sweat a sufficient amount in the cold weather, given how his Quirk works.

    Personality/History: Katsuki is a crude, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive person, especially during his middle school days. Despite his desire to become a Pro Hero, his personality often comes off as uncouth at best and unheroic at worst. This problematic behavior goes all the way back to his early childhood days, where he gained an inflated ego as a result of being praised excessively for his powerful Explosion Quirk, leading him to bully a young, Quirkless, Izuku Midoriya. He was extremely arrogant and condescending to those around him, often bragging of his Explosion's power, and even boasting that he would take on his entire class. He frequently showed hostility towards Izuku, mainly because of his former Quirkless status, and would constantly put down his dream of becoming a Hero due to him lacking a Quirk, and also gave him the insulting nickname "Deku" (meaning useless in Japanese slang). He even threatened Izuku not to apply to U.A. High School and became angry when both of them passed the Entrance Exam, wanting to be the only person from his middle school to make it there. However, after being accepted into U.A. and experiencing several personal defeats, one of them even coming from Izuku, Katsuki has gradually changed into a less antagonistic person, albeit still retaining a lot of his unpleasant traits. While often portrayed negatively, Katsuki's fierce character and competitive drive have actually granted him an important role among Class 1-A, as a sort of inspirational mood-maker. Determined and thirsty for victory, Katsuki smiles eerily when in the middle of a battle. He is incredibly focused on achieving his own authentic victories and has learned to never underestimate his opponents. Katsuki is not only very athletic and talented at fighting, but also very intelligent and extremely perceptive, capable of strategic planning and improvisation. Moreover, Katsuki's grades are among the highest of his class and he already knew how to read perfectly by the age of four, evidence that he treats studying seriously. Katsuki also possesses surprising talent in other areas, such as cooking and music, even though he doesn't show a particular interest in them. Overall, he is considered a natural-born genius with the potential to be one of the best Pro Heroes around. While a rather volatile hero-in-training who reacts and snaps more than thinking, Katsuki is smart enough to discern who his enemies and allies are. He is not particularly nice or open with people who are on his side, or anyone else for that matter, but will act less unfriendly and sometimes even kind to those that manage to earn his respect. Because of his attitude and vulgar language, Katsuki's U.A. classmates often react negatively to him, although they have come to appreciate his skills and warm up to his personality. They also don't take his anger all that seriously — perhaps as a way to deal with his seemingly perpetual anger, but they don't tolerate his bullying attempts and are willing to step up against him whenever he goes too far. Katsuki is maturing slowly through his time at U.A., coming to befriend some of his classmates and willingly engaging in social interaction with them, though remaining solitary for the most part. Like he does with Izuku, Katsuki has a habit of bestowing insulting nicknames upon others, such as calling Tenya Iida "Four Eyes" because of his glasses, Denki Kaminari "Dunce-Face" because of how his Electrification Quirk dulls his thinking, Shouto Todoroki "Half and Half" or "Icy-Hot" because of his dual Quirk and appearance, and so on. He also refers to people he doesn't know as "extras", treating them as little more than fodder or stepping stones to his victory until he faces them head-on. Despite this, he can address others properly when it matters, such as when he's serious or in the heat of battle. Katsuki tends to disregard the notion that Quirks shouldn't be used in public and will activate his Quirk for a number of reasons, such as to intimidate someone, to punctuate a point, out of frustration, or even if he just feels like showing off. Overall, Katsuki doesn't seem to care very much about what others think of him, barely containing himself from violent behavior (although he avoids other typical delinquent practices like underage smoking). Katsuki values honesty highly and never lies to the point his brash candor is seen by some as rude and insensitive. He is never afraid of speaking his mind and will notice when people are not being truthful to him. This shows that, despite his anti-social habits, Katsuki is an excellent judge of character, making it hard to deceive him. Due to the constant praise of his abilities and powerful Quirk since his childhood, Katsuki developed a superiority complex, and because of that, he desires to be the first and best at everything. However, in spite of all the praise that Katsuki received, he also developed an inferiority complex from his fear of failure. As pointed out by many people, Katsuki loves to win above all else and cannot stand it when he doesn't, leading him to lose his already short temper or, less often, sulk. He is fiercely competitive and will never settle for less than the number one spot, having a compulsive need to always strive for victory and also prove people who doubt him wrong. However, Katsuki also values hard work and fair play, to the point of refusing to acknowledge a winning result if he feels that his victory was not earned by actual merit. Along with that, he detests being pitied or looked down on by others, and will hold contempt towards those that don't take him seriously, while recognizing the effort of those that manage to put up a challenge against him. Because of his Quirk and talents, Katsuki is very confident and brave to where he is willing to go against anyone who challenges him. He never backs down from a fight and will go out when facing such a powerful opponent. From taking on several villains at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, Katsuki knows when dealing with someone that is out of his league, as he let All Might face off against Noumu. During the First Term Final Exam, Katsuki wasn't afraid to go up against All Might, even though he knew he had a low chance of taking him down head on. Katsuki is immensely prideful and prefers to act alone, as he hates the idea of being protected or having to rely on other people to assist him unless, in the latter's case, he is recognized as the unquestionable leading figure within a team. So far in his tenure at U.A. High School, Katsuki's cooperativeness is nothing short of atrocious, often ignoring his partners' ideas and suggestions for his own very direct approaches. His teamworks skills seem to he gradually improving, however, even if Katsuki keeps coming off as condescending through his usual tone. As a leader, Katsuki is a merciless perfectionist, and will only become satisfied with complete, indisputable victories. Katsuki often has difficulty accepting his mistakes and learning from his shortcomings, and will fiercely deny them whenever they are pointed out by others, regardless of who does it. That doesn't mean, however, that Katsuki doesn't listen to advice, having come to realize his faults and how to somewhat improve on them thanks to the words and actions of other people like All Might and Best Jeanist, but he will never outright admit due to his pride. He prefers to self-reflect in silence and solitude, becoming a bit more brooding during those periods. Katsuki's unchecked pride and aggression has cost him victories on numerous occasions, like the Battle Trial, and it tends to worsen whenever Izuku is involved. Both characters share a sensitive history with each other, with Katsuki, in particular, being unable to completely overcome his issues with Izuku, although this has not stopped them from working together. Katsuki has a more vulnerable side, having been led to tears due to damaged pride a few times. After the Battle Trial, Katsuki admitted that when he saw Shouto Todoroki's power and Izuku's ability to outsmart him, he couldn't beat him head on and called out how Momo Yaoyorozu was right about how reckless he was during his fight with Izuku. Katsuki has also shown moments of fear and guilt, the latter when he thinks himself and his weakness are the reason for the downfall or misfortune of those he cares for, such as his idol All Might. Still, due to years of misunderstandings, tension, and pride, Katsuki has difficulty doing the same thing towards Izuku. Katsuki also has an honorable side to him. Though he insisted that Izuku was unhelpful in trying to save him from the Sludge Villain, he did stop bullying him for ten months afterward, only resuming after they both got into U.A. While his inspiration for becoming a hero was the same as Izuku's, the Symbol of Peace, All Might, their beliefs differ: Katsuki feels a hero should never stop fighting or give up, regardless of the threat they face, and that always winning is the mark of a true hero. Furthermore, various heroes, civilians, and even villains have commented on his arrogance and conceit. However, Katsuki is unwavering in his aspirations of heroism, viewing villains as people who lose and not win like heroes.

    Quirk: Explosion (爆破, Bakuha) — Emitter-Type Quirk. Explosion allows the user to excrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from their palms and ignite it at will to create explosions of various sizes. Through either one of his palms, Katsuki creates fiery shock waves that are highly powerful and destructive, often burning and/or shattering whatever they hit, with Katsuki himself being immune to them, save for some minor damage from the recoil. Because this Quirk generates light, it's a natural counter to Fumikage Tokoyami's Dark Shadow, which thrives in the dark. The more Katsuki sweats, the more powerful the explosions become. This essentially means that Katsuki's blast gradually grows in power the longer he fights, since he will naturally sweat more through ongoing physical activity. During cold weather, the nitroglycerin-like sweat requires a slightly longer time to detonate, as opposed to warm weather, where conditions are optimal for ignition. Repeated explosions, particularly large ones, eventually result in throbbing pain to Katsuki's arms and shoulders. Additionally, creating explosions with both arms at the same time causes their overall strength to disperse between both limbs, leading to individually weaker blasts. Since Explosion mainly stems from Katsuki's palms, which are his Quirk Factor, he would be unable to properly utilize his Quirk should he lose them. • Explosion's Quirk Awakening Effect: Upon Quirk Awakening, Explosion becomes stronger, faster, and more condensed than usual, resulting in the development of Cluster. This later can allow Katsuki to create explosions across his entire body using Cluster, increasing his speed and mobility while removing the need to use his hands to do so.

    Relationships:

    • Mitsuki Bakugou (Mother. Katsuki outwardly doesn't seem to hold much respect for his mother, as he insulted her and made childish threats to her even in front of his teachers. His mother has a similar attitude towards her son, as she often yells back at him and insults him as well. She is aware of Katsuki's terrible behavior and attitude and shows blatant disapproval of it. Mitsuki is one of the only people who can really talk back to Katsuki without him exploding in rage. Despite their shouting matches and their bantering, the two love each other deeply).
    • Masaru Bakugou (Father. Similar to his mother, Mitsuki, Katsuki does not appear to hold much respect for him even telling his own father to be quiet in front of his teachers. However, these threats are more like his usual, childish reactions to everything and not genuine. Unlike Katsuki's mother, his father has a rather calm personality, and tries to get through to his son, but his short temper prevents it. Like his wife, he clearly loves his son very much and does not approve of his son's arrogant attitude).
    • Class 1-A (It is shown Katsuki doesn't have a particularly high standing in his class. Unlike his time in middle school, his classmates correctly see him as loud and violent, while being put off or scared by his nature. Some of the classmates even resort to teasing him, not being afraid of his prowess due to having their own).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Childhood friend — though ever since gaining his Quirk while Izuku was revealed to be Quirkless, Katsuki became a bully to Izuku and disrespected him until Izuku gained a Quirk — Though he believes that Izuku had hidden his Quirk the entire time, not knowing the truth about One For All and how Izuku got it. Bakugou seems to hate Izuku, though he's starting to respect him more as time goes on. In reality, Katsuki bullied Izuku as an outlet for his own insecurities and he can't understand why Izuku would put others before himself. In truth, Katsuki cares for Izuku despite how he acts. He views Izuku's selflessness and other positive traits as something that makes the green-haired boy far superior to him in some way, which challanges Katsuki's own perception of "superiority". Views Izuku as a rival and is starting to respect him more. Katsuki dislikes the nickname "Katchan" that Izuku has given him, but can tolerate it).
    • Shouto Todoroki (Rival, though Bakugou respects him).
    • Eijirou Kirishima (Good friends — though originally Eijirou didn't like Bakugou until after the U.S.J incident).
    • Hanta Sero (Acquaintant since Sero is also friends with Kirishina. Bakugou calls Sero "Tape Arms" or "Soy Sauce Face").
    • Denki Kaminari (Katsuki insults Kaminari frequently, who returns the sentiment by openly teasing Katsuki, which angers the latter. Despite Denki's teasing, he's still intimidated by Katsuki).
    • Ochako Uraraka (Katsuki doesn't bother to interact with Ochako because of her friendship with Izuku and he considers her to be irritable, just like how he feels about everyone else. Though they first saw each other in their mock battle, Katsuki was so focused on fighting Izuku that he ignored Ochako. They fully interact during the Sports Festival tournament, when they have to face each other in the first round. Ochako was utterly terrified at the prospect of having to fight Katsuki, while he thought very little of her and didn't recognize her name or thought she can fight him. At the beginning of their battle he pointed out her facial features, calling her "Round Face"/"Pink Cheeks". Throughout their battle, Katsuki offered Ochako the chance to withdraw, because he won't show her mercy, even if she is a girl. When Ochako prepared a secret attack on him, Katsuki was surprised by her ingenuity and impressed that her attack pushed him to his maximum blast limit at the time. He acknowledged her effort and remarks that he should've known she'd try it since he recalled her friendship with Izuku, indicating that Ochako reminds him of Izuku, and wrongly assumed that she had help from him, until Izuku told Katsuki she fought him with her own strategy. At the end of their match, Katsuki used her last name before finishing her off, indicating that Katsuki respects Ochako's strength (as he usually doesn't use people's names save for those who impress him or those he has a rivalry with, like he did that with Izuku, Shouto, and Eijirou). When his classmates (but Izuku) scolded him for fighting so hard at Ochako saying that she is frail, Katsuki went out of his way saying, that he definitely wouldn't call Ochako frail. Katsuki developed some respect for Ochako as a result).
    • Tenya Iida (Because of their equally forceful personalities and very different personal values, Katsuki and Tenya don't get along well. Katsuki looks down on Tenya's privileged background and dislikes being ordered around by him, whereas Tenya disapproves and frequently reprimands Katsuki for his improper behavior, questioning his intentions to become a hero. This was especially apparent when they were forced to partner up for the Trial of Battle).
    • Minoru Mineta (Katsuki and Minoru share a rather negative and antagonistic relationship with one another. Like his other classmates, Katsuki is annoyed and disgusted by Minoru's perverted behavior, and frequently calls him out for his cowardly nature. In turn, Minoru is put off by Katsuki's violent and brash attitude and dialect, often being the one to remark on his aggressive behavior, as seen during Katsuki's fight with Ochako at the Sports Festival).
    • Class 1-B (As with Class 1-A, Katsuki doesn't hold high standing with them. They actively competed with him after he announced he will win the U.A. Sports Festival and tried to beat him).
    • Neito Monoma (Katsuki sees Neito, along with the other members of Class 1-B, as rivals, that must be toppled. Katsuki doesn't bear any ill will to Neito until the latter takes his bandana in the U.A. Sports Festival's Cavalry Battle and mocks him for being attacked by villains. An enraged Katsuki immediately stops chasing Izuku, his main rival, and the person whose bandana he has the most desire to take, as he angrily orders his group to destroy Neito's team. After repeated taunting, mocking, and copying of his Quirk, in a fit of rage, Katsuki flies at Neito, jumping away from the rest of his team and taking all of Neito's headbands, eliminating him and his team from the competition. With his defeat, Neito feels a certain disdain towards Katsuki, considering him too violent and underestimating his achievements and abilities as a hero. His classmates often try to advise him not to antagonize Katsuki).
    • Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu (Although they have little interaction, Tetsutetsu like his class despises Katsuki's arrogance).
    • All Might (Similarly to Izuku and Shouto, Katsuki idolized All Might as a child. While very little of this respect and admiration is apparent in the present, All Might had a strong impact on Katsuki's belief in what a hero should be: someone who always strives to win, no matter the odds. He first met the famed hero in person when the latter saved Katsuki after he was attacked by the Sludge Villain. They met again at the U.A. High School, wherein the training match between Izuku and Katsuki, All Might scolded Katsuki for his reckless and cruel fighting style that could have killed Izuku. Despite Katsuki's aggressive nature, All Might acknowledges him as a promising hero but has repeatedly attempted to guide him whenever possible. Although his advice has often fallen on deaf ears and All Might is often unsettled by Katsuki's behavior, be it his aggression or his reckless drive. Unfortunately, despite his past admiration for the renowned hero, Katsuki does not hesitate to either insult or challenge All Might to a fight, refusing to run away when he was assigned to fight him, only to suffer a humiliating defeat, just as Izuku stated. Despite his antagonistic attitude towards his former idol, Katsuki does at least somewhat cares for him).
    • Shouta Aizawa (Homeroom teacher. they barely get along, due to Katsuki's rude and violent behavior, as well as Shota's own rude nature. However, Katsuki appears to respect his teacher for being a hero and appears to take his advice. In their first interaction, Shouta had restrained Katsuki and blocked off his power for nearly attacking Izuku and from that moment, he took to looking over Katsuki more than any other student, due to his violent and irresponsible behavior. Despite their turbulent start, Shouta recognizes Katsuki's talents and defended him during his match with Ochako in the Sports Festival after Katsuki was admonished for his supposed cruelty in the match. Shouta often tries to help Katsuki in his own way, such as when he paired him up with Izuku against All Might for them to cooperate better).
    • Best Jeanist (Katsuki selected Tsunagu for his internship, acknowledging the latter for his strength, being one of the top five Heroes in the country. When Tsunagu styled his hair, he realized he made a bad choice working for him. Though Tsunagu tried to teach Katsuki the qualities of a hero by learning to quell his anger, Katsuki didn't appear to listen to any of his lectures. Katsuki even considered his time with Tsunagu to be worthless as he didn't improve in skill as Izuku did. However, despite Katsuki outwardly showing great annoyance with the Fiber Hero, it seems he secretly has great respect for him).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Katsuki has proven to be one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, earning third place in the Quirk Apprehension Test, while placing first in both the U.A. Entrance Exam, having the most villain points, and the U.A. Sports Festival. Katsuki's fighting style is an all-out offense, using his Quirk's propulsive abilities to close the distance between him and his opponents, followed by a bombardment of close-range attacks that often start with a powerful right hook. Katsuki is able to use his Explosion to propel himself through mid-air, blind opponents, and release long-range blasts, among other applications. Explosion is a versatile Quirk, especially for battle situations, as the recoil caused by the blasts can be exploited by Katsuki for mobility purposes. During the U.S.J. Incident, Katsuki was able to single-handedly overpower and immobilize Kurogiri, a highly capable villain. At the U.A. Sports Festival, he defeated Fumikage Tokoyami and Shouto Todoroki, who were considered the two other strongest students in Class 1-A at that point. Many notable Pro Heroes, such as Shouta Aizawa and All Might, have praised Katsuki's prowess, noting the sheer amount of potential he carries. Katsuki is strong enough to fight toe-to-toe with Izuku when he's using 5% of One For All. He can also still fight efficiently even when his Quirk is weakened by the cold weather conditions of the winter season. Katsuki is also starting to become less insubordinate when paired with people and developing camaraderie, for example: utilizing his abilities to repel opponents that overpower his comrades. When Katsuki discards his pride, his comradeship proves pivotal against any formidable adversaries they face. Not willing to let Izuku get ahead of him and never taking his intended goal of surpassing All Might lightly, Katsuki is always building up his power, improving his technique, and looking forward to knowing what he is currently unable to do, with the intent of being able to do so in the future. Katsuki's unstoppable drive to win is perhaps his biggest strength, with all of his classmates, including Izuku, having faith in his ability to earn victories.
    • Enhanced Strength: Katsuki possesses a high-caliber physical strength, confirmed by his ability to use his Grenade Bracers without sustaining effects from recoil, whereas Izuku nearly dislocated his arm trying to do so. He's also strong enough to casually pick up and throw people of Izuku's size considerable distance with one arm. Bakugou, in his match with Todoroki and when he used Howitzer Impact, proved to have enough strength to break a section of his ice with a smack, though the explosions enhanced this. His physical power is even enough to draw blood from Izuku at 5% of One For All with a kick.
    • Enhanced Reflexes: Perhaps Katsuki's greatest physical trait is his fantastic reflexes and reaction time. Initially, his reflexes are on human levels, but decently sharp. He's shown on several occasions overwhelming his foes with his speed or completely evading all their attacks while striking back such as in his battles with Ochako.
    • Enhanced Stamina: Katsuki has conditioned himself to fight on for long periods of time even when heavily injured.
    • Indomitable Will: Katsuki's willpower is one of his greatest traits, following through his notion of an absolute flawless victory no matter what. His willpower may even rival that of Izuku's in terms of determination and his strong hothead tendencies shows some display of that trait. Katsuki has displayed fearless drive to fight the villains and win no matter how strong his opponents may be.
    • Keen Intellect: Katsuki has proven to be fairly intelligent and strategic, but his short temper and overinflated ego often gets the best of him, causing him to overlook crucial details and make several blunders. While Katsuki may not always employ preemptive strategies or think before acting, he possesses a unique ability to adapt in battle. He demonstrated this when he identified Fumikage's weakness to light during the U.A. Sports Festival, and when he noticed Shoto's Quirk losing potency due to overuse. His knack for anticipating worst-case scenarios further highlights his intuition.
    • Leadership Skills: Katsuki has always been criticized for his lack of cooperativeness, usually as a result of his overwhelming ego that prevents him from following the lead of others. However, thanks to Katsuki's very own determination, perfectionism, and noteworthy intelligence, he is a capable leader should others decide to follow him instead.
    • Cooking Skills: Katsuki is surprisingly adept in culinary practice, being able to cut vegetables very quickly and with ease, as well as spotting how Shoto hadn't cut chives properly and scolding him for it.
    • Musical Talent: Katsuki is highly skilled at playing the drums, having gone through classes in the past.
    • Technical Skills: Katsuki possesses some degree of technical skill.
    • Survival Skills: Thanks to his hiking hobby, Katsuki has shown to be adept at surviving in the wilderness, be it a snowy mountain or a deserted island. He is able to organize space for a campsite, having knowledge of the resources required to camp outside, and was even able to build a shelter with only limited supplies from his environment.
    • Enhanced Speed: Katsuki's speed relied on constant shockwave explosions of his palms, which gives him semi-flight capabilities, but he was fast enough to keep up with some of the fastest students in U.A. such as Tenya Ida, Shoto, and Izuku. Thanks to his technique of utilizing the back-blast and shockwave of his Quirk, Katsuki was fast enough to catch up to Tenya.

    Current Ultimate Moves:

    • Explosive Speed (爆速ターボ, Bakusoku Tābo): Katsuki throws his hands back and uses explosions to propel himself. He uses this both on the ground to increase his speed and through the air to achieve a pseudo form of flight. He first used this technique on the ground during the Quirk Apprehension Test. The first time he used it to fly was during the Obstacle Race.
    • Stun Grenade (閃光弾, Sutan Gurenēdo): Katsuki starts by creating a sphere of light between his hands that explodes into a large scale flash. Similar to the effect of an actual stun grenade, the flash of light blinds anyone close by. He first used this technique to defeat Fumikage Tokoyami. • Point-Blank Stun Grenade (ゼロ距離閃光弾, Zero Kyori Sutan Gurenēdo): A variation where Katsuki fires off his Stun Grenade at point-blank range of the opponent to immediately stun and immobilize them with little lasting damage.
    • Howitzer Impact (榴弾砲着弾, Hauzā Inpakuto): This move is one of the Katsuki's strongest techniques, which involves Katsuki taking to the air, and then using explosions to propel himself in a circular motion to create a tornado. This tornado builds up oxygen to fuel the incoming explosion. After colliding with the target, Katsuki releases the powerful aforementioned explosion. Present Mic compared the effectiveness of the technique to that of an actual missile. Katsuki first used Howitzer Impact in the final match of the U.A. Sports Festival Finals. He has also shown that he can release the fueled explosion in midair, without having to make contact with the target.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • AP Shot (徹甲弾, Ē-Pī Shotto): Katsuki stretches out one of his hands and uses his other hand to form a circle on the palm of his outstretched hand. Katsuki then fires an explosion through the circle, which creates a concentrated blast beam. By focusing the path of his explosions into a single point instead of around his whole palm, Katsuki creates a concentrated blast with reduced area of impact, but with enough power to successfully pierce solid concrete. • AP Shot: Auto-Cannon (徹甲弾機関銃, Ē-Pī Shotto Ōtokanon): A rapid-fire version of his AP Shot Technique. The explosion power is reduced in order to avoid dealing severe damage to human targets. • AP Machine-Gun (徹甲機銃, Ē-Pī Mashingan): A stronger version of his AP Shot: Auto-Cannon where Katsuki fires larger, rapid-fire explosions.
    • Explode-A-Pult (爆破式カタパルト, Ekusu Kataparuto): While in mid-air, Katsuki grabs an opponent with one of his arms, then propels himself in a spinning motion by firing explosions with his free arm. Once he gains enough momentum, Katsuki forcefully throws his opponent with the aid of another explosion. This move can also be used in reverse — Instead of launching the other person, Katsuki instead allows himself to be launched towards the intended target.
    • Land Mine Blast (爆風地雷, Bakufū Jirai): Katsuki places his Grenadier Bracer on the ground and lets of a massive explosion into the ground, blowing back any obstacles surrounding him.
    • Cluster (クラスター, Kurasutā): Katsuki condenses his explosions to become stronger and faster, allowing him to unleash a flurry of bursts that can be used in a variety of ways.
    • Explosive Speed: Cluster (爆速ターボ クラスター, Bakusoku Tābo Kurasutā): Katsuki employs the Cluster technique to propel himself forward in a similar fashion to his Explosive Speed, but at a much faster rate, allowing him to catch up with extremely fast targets.
    • Howitzer Impact: Cluster (ハウザーインパクト クラスター, Hauzā Inpakuto Kurasutā): Katsuki employs the Cluster technique and the Strafe Panzer support item to empower his Howitzer Impact by creating larger explosions to propel himself with, as well as launching explosions in all directions. Being an enhanced version of "Howitzer Impact," this is potentilly the most powerful move in Katsuki's arsenal.

    Stats:

    • Power: 5/6 (A).
    • Speed: 5/6 (A).
    • Technique: 5/6 (A+).
    • Intelligence: 5/6 (A).
    • Cooperativeness: 1/6 (E).
    • Proper Language: 1/6 (E).

    Equipment:

    • Grenadier Bracers (籠手, Kote): A pair of arm mounted storage tanks added to Katsuki's hero costume that stores his nitroglycerin-like sweat. Once filled, he can pull the grenade pin in order to release a large focused blast, as shown when he fought Izuku in All Might's Heroes vs. Villains test. It has enough explosive power to destroy all parts of the building within its blast radius. This equipment was first used during the Battle Trial.
    • Improvised Grenades: Around the belt of his Hero costume are several containers made to look like hand grenades. These can store Katsuki's nitroglycerin-like sweat and may be used as regular grenades at a later time.
    • Knee Pads: These are very blunt metallic attachments to Katsuki's knees. They are designed so that he can "kill with his knees," but he has not yet displayed any such use for them.

    Potential Future Equipment:

    • Suppressive Heavy Mobile Unit: Strafe Panzer (面制圧重装機動 ストレイフパンツァー, Men Seiatsu Jūsō Kidō Sutoreifu Pantsā): A number of retractable machine guns that can extend from the back of his hero costume and mount over his shoulders. Like his Grenadier Bracers, they use his nitroglycerin-like sweat as ammunition.

    Entry settings

    Katsuki Bakugou grew up in the same neighborhood as Izuku Midoriya since they were young children. Izuku and Katsuki's other childhood friends gave him the nickname "Kacchan". Izuku and the other boys always looked up to Katsuki because of his energy, confidence, and natural-born talents (shown by his ability to juggle a football, read as well as making a stone skip seven times on water as a four year old; he was the type who could do anything he tried his hand at). Because of this praise, Katsuki developed a rather arrogant and self-inflated view of himself and would often pick on Izuku and gave him the nickname "Deku" — a Japanese name originally meaning "puppet" or "wooden puppet" but in modern Japanese slang — and what Bakugou actually means — it's used to also describe someone that's useless. Despite this, Izuku continued to follow him around. Katsuki always admired All Might when he was young because the number one hero would always win against the odds. While watching a video of him at the electronics store, Katsuki tells his friends that All Might is the greatest hero because of his ability to achieve victory. When Katsuki was 6, he beat a few 9-year-olds in a fight, who bumped into him. With Izuku looking on, Katsuki says that the most amazing hero always wins no matter what. Once Katsuki developed his Quirk, his aggressive tendencies transformed into heinous bullying. He was constantly praised for his powerful Quirk and other talents. As a result of this, he developed a twisted superiority complex as a young child. Believing himself to be better than everyone else, Katsuki looked down on everyone, Izuku especially because he lacked a Quirk altogether. Despite this, Izuku still considered the two of them to be friends at the time, but things escalated when Izuku tried to help Katsuki after he fell off a small bridge into a stream. Izuku offered a helping hand, but Katsuki's pride caused him to take this an insult. He believed that Izuku made him appear as if he needed aid from someone who is much too beneath him. However, deep down, Katsuku actually felt that Izuku was miles ahead of him due to his naturally selfless and heroic personality, something that he was unable to accept and resented Izuku for. This would strain the relationship between the two for years to come, with Katsuki viciously bullying him, mocking Izuku for his Quirkless status and beating him up. During his second year in middle school. Katsuki, along with his two friends, came across Izuku at the Tatooin Shopping District. His friend with the long fingers then noticed the hero magazine that Izuku was reading and took it from him. Bakugo disparagingly threw the magazine back to Izuku from over his shoulder, but not without saying that a useless Quirkless person like him could only dream of being a hero. Just then, a villain suddenly appeared, using his Quirk to rob wallets and purses. Despite Izuku suggesting that they should find a hero and his friends reminding him that public Quirk usage is against the law, Katsuki decided to chase down the villain in hopes of getting a recommendation to U.A. High School. However, before Katsuki could attack the villain with his Quirk, a powerful storm broke out, knocking him down and allowing the villain to escape. After the sky became sunny again, Katsuki wondered if that sudden storm was caused by the villain, and became more determined to capture him. As Katsuki continued looking for the villain, he noticed Izuku doing the same on the ground and mocked his efforts. After analyzing the villain's Quirk more deeply, he realized that it was related to sand rather than clouds or smoke. After returning to the streets, Katsuki found the villain, having been reduced to a mud puddle by the unexpected storm. The villain blamed Katsuki for ruining his chances of getting away, but Katsuki intended to beat him nonetheless. Right at that moment, the hero Airjet appeared and defeated the villain instead. Katsuki yelled at Airjet, but the hero just misinterpreted Katsuki's intentions for altruistic reasons and praised him. Katsuki then realized that Izuku must have deduced the villain's Quirk before him, infuriating him and causing him to generate further animosity towards Izuku. Later on, During class at Aldera Junior High school — the middle school Katsuki and Izuku attended together, the teacher announced that all students will graduate, and Katsuki contends the notion that he is of the same status as his peers. He refers to his classmates as beneath him because of him acing the mock tests and his powerful Quirk. In consequence he tells them all that he alone will attend U.A. High School and surpass the number one hero: All Might. The teacher discloses that Izuku is also attempting to get into U.A., much to Katsuki's displeasure. Katsuki berates Izuku and uses his Quirk to scare him by exploding his desk. He tells Izuku that because he is Quirkless, he will never succeed at anything, especially getting into U.A.. Katsuki and two of his friends confront Izuku after class. They take his hero notebook and Katsuki burns it before tossing it out the window into a fish pond. Katsuki reminds Izuku that only he himself is destined to reach that school and Izuku is just a stepping stone for his greatness. Before leaving the room, Katsuki warns Izuku not to apply to U.A. at all. He also tells Izuku to "take a swam dive off the building" if he wanted to become a hero by dying and hopefully being reborn as one, basically incentivizing Izuku to commit suicide. After school, Katsuki and company try to decide what to do for fun and ponder if Katsuki was too harsh on Izuku. Katsuki ignores them, only replying that he cannot stand Izuku's optimism and someone needs to teach him how the world works. The boys suggest they skip class and go to the arcade but Katsuki refuses because it could ruin his chances of getting into U.A.. Just then, the Sludge Villain captures Katsuki and goes on a rampage through the city. Katsuki tries to break free using his Quirk but is unable to, only setting fire to the area around him and making it more difficult for heroes to intervene. As people and Heroes are watching, unable to help the genuinely scared Katsuki, Izuku rushes to help him. While Katsuki demands to know why Izuku is helping him, Izuku states that he could not stand by and let Katsuki die. The two are ultimately saved by All Might, who destroys the villain while freeing Katsuki at the same time. Afterward, Izuku is scolded for his recklessness, and Katsuki is praised for his Quirk, but the latter only frowns at him in silence. Later, he finds Izuku and yells at him for trying to help. Katsuki claims he was fine on his own and he may owe him but he was never going to apologize for his previous actions of destroying his book and voiced he didn't need any help before angrily storming away.

    Full name: Izuku Midoriya (緑谷出久, Midoriya Izuku). Hero name: Deku (デク, Deku). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15-16. Birthday: July 15th. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born near Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: O. Family: Inko Midoriya (mother); Hisashi Midoriya (absent father). Izuku has been raised mainly by his mother, Inko Midoriya, never really getting to know or spend much time with his father since he went to work abroad. Seat in Class 1-A: 18. Fighting Style: Close + Ranged Combat (though specialized more for Melee Combat). Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Izuku is a fair-skinned boy with a round face that's framed by a short mop of fluffy viridian green hair which curls up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular, with his irises being the same shade of green as his hair, which at times are very watery, and are usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent, energized appearance. He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek. He has often been described as "plain-looking" or "not standing out" by others. Izuku stands at 166 centimeters/5'5¼" feet tall and his body is lean and athletic. Though he was initially very skinny, Izuku has gained toned muscles after his ten months of extensive training with All Might, and as the series progresses, these are shown to become more developed and defined as he gradually grows stronger. After his battle against Shouto Todoroki, the fingers on his right hand became slightly deformed, and his hand shows visible scarring.

    Clothing: He pretty much always wears bright red high top boots. At U.A. he wears the standard male uniform: a light gray blazer with dark turquoise trimmings over a white dress shirt and dress pants, along with a red tie which he doesn't do up properly, leaving it much shorter than how it should be. Instead of the plain brown shoes worn by the majority of the student body, he still sports his signature red shoes.

    Hero Costume: Midoriya's hero costume, known as "Costume Beta" is a dark teal with black outlines, light beige shoulder pads, black knee pads that extend to the legs and reaches up his thighs, red tennis shoes, light beige-tinted gloves decorated with two blue stripes on the hems and a metal respirator shaped like an edged oval with eight (8) holes, connected to a metal piece slightly resembling teeth and a black strap. The costume also contains a mask, but Midoriya doesn't use it often. This is his second hero costume design after his first one, known as "Costume Alpha" was heavily damaged during his battle against Katsuki Bakugou in the Battle Trial.

    Potential Hero Costume Upgrade: A potential upgrade to Izuku's current hero costume can include black iron soles to his red boots to increase the power of his kicks, as well as arm braces that go along with wrist straps and extending the blue stripes around his biceps, and both his iron soles and knee pads can have yellow bolts fastened into them. Izuku may call the upgraded costume "Costume Gamma". Another potential upgrade for his hero costume can include specialized gloves. Aesthetically they appear as white gloves with green palms and yellow sights attached to each of the knuckles, with a dual-layered band around the wrist decorated with a blue seam and yellow bolts. These gloves — which can be called the Air Force Gloves — can be used to better help Izuku use his powers for long-range attacks.

    Initial Hero Costume: Izuku's first hero costume, known as "Costume Alpha", was made by his mother. It was a light green full-body jumpsuit with a red belt, black elbow pads and knee pads, and white gloves, along with his signature red boots. He also wore a mask with long ear-like protrusions that resembles All Might's haircut, and a respirator with a makeshift smile on it that also reflects that of said hero. The costume was severely damaged as a result of his first battle against Katsuki Bakugou and had to be repaired so during the U.S.J exercise/incident and until his Second hero costume was made, Izuku had to wear the U.A. gym uniform. This uniform upgrade will likely arrive during the week of preparation for the Provisional Hero License Exam, but may arrive earlier or later depending on circumstance.

    Personality/History: Midoriya is a shy, reserved and polite boy who is incredibly passionate about All Might and everything about heroics. Midoriya frequently overreacts to abnormal situations with exaggerated expressions. He feels flustered and embarrassed easily, especially when interacting with others of the opposite gender. Due to yeаrs of being looked down on by Bakugou for lacking a Quirk, Midoriya initially was insecure, tearful, vulnerable and non-expressive. These traits are especially present around Bakugou, who also constantly harangued him for his aspirations to become a hero. However, after being accepted into U.A., making new friends, and facing Bakugou during the their first battle trial, Midoriya gradually matures into a more confident and braver person who's always eager to prove his worth as a hero, eventually developing strong leadership skills, which combined with his passion and strategic abilities, have turned him into a central figure within Class 1-A alongside Bakugou. Midoriya is a quite diligent and strong-willed student, being extremely (and sometimes scarily) enthusiastic about topics related to heroes. His dream drives him to write down notes about everything he learns about heroes' Quirks and fighting capabilities. Thanks to this practice, he developed a great analytical mind and can form complex battle plans in a few seconds, factoring in the best ways he can utilize the Quirks of allies and enemies alike for his own advantage. Midoriya externalizes his observations through endless mumbling, a habit that annoys or creeps out his peers. He often writes down his observations in a variety of notebooks he titles as "Hero Analysis for the Future"; he checks on them regularly during school activities, during his free time, or at night. Midoriya is very caring and emotional, never hesitating to help or rescue someone in danger, even if he knows that he might not be strong or otherwise qualified enough to do it. Often, he does this on instinct, taking a more careless approach than the usual overthinking he goes through and putting himself in peril in order to protect someone. All Might claims that this trait gives Midoriya the most important natural and innate instinct to be a hero; the pure and genuine desire to help people. However, Midoriya putting others' lives above his own can go to the extreme, to the point where he has little to no sense of self-preservation. Izuku is known to help or lecture people with personal and emotional problems, regardless of if it's his business or not, claiming that a hero should meddle in other people's lives. This audacious spirit, while initially viewed as perplexing or even insane by others, is also recognized by many, and has earned him the loyalty, gratitude and respect of characters that were previously antagonistic towards him. He has a strong fascination with heroes and is shown well-versed in their history, sometimes even surprising the heroes themselves with his vast knowledge of their abilities and past exploits. He is prone to geeking out and rambling on about the heroes he meets, often bringing up their history and accomplishments, while also being eager to share this knowledge with others. Of all heroes, the Symbol of Peace, All Might, has impacted and modeled Izuku's life the most. Many of Izuku's decisions and actions result from his desire to become a Pro Hero similar to All Might, and thus he has a great devotion to him. Izuku is an avid collector of All Might merchandise, has knowledge of his numerous feats of heroism (no matter how minor), and emulates many of his traits. Izuku appears to have a more brash and abrasive side to him, which typically shows up when he finds himself in combat. This side of him makes him act more like Katsuki, being rather loud and unwavering, and also with a strong drive towards victory. He claims that this is because he sees Katsuki as the embodiment of what someone who strives for victory should be. He has also admitted that he doesn't like this side of him very much and tends to keep it in check. He does, however, find himself giving in to this almost feral rage when in dire situations and faced against opponents who had brutally hurt people he cares for. Originally he was Quirkless until All Might passed on his Quirk to him by letting Midoriya eat a strand of his hair after training the boy before he joined U.A High School. Before receiving a Quirk however Midoriya was often bullied and outcasted, getting mocked for dreaming on becoming a hero. He Calls Katsuki Bakugou “Kacchan” as a friendly childhood nickname. His cover-up Quirk name is “Superpower”, which allows him to heighten his strength for a period of time before he undoubtedly over exerts his body and injures himself with broken bones. When asked questions about his Quirk, he avoids them with topic changes and seems hesitant/nervous. Midoriya's real Quirk name is “One for All”, but will not admit unless incredibly close to {{user}}. Having inherited his Quirk, one of Izuku's current priorities is to be able to live up to his idol's legacy, as he is always looking for ways to improve his usage of One For All, being aware of the immense pressure that comes with succeeding the greatest Hero of all time. The unwavering trust and approval Izuku receives from All Might has been vital to his development as a hero, especially when the aforementioned feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness plague his mind. Midoriya is All Might’s pupil and favorite student.

    Quirk(s): One For All (ワン・フォー・オール, Wan Fō Ōru) — Emitter-Main-Type and Accumulation-Sub-Type Quirk. Cover up name is "Superpower" to hide it's real name, as One For All is supposed to be a secret. It was transfered from All Might before Midoriya joined U.A. High School, with the hero offering the green-haired boy a strand of his blonde hair to eat it. This Quirk stockpiles enormous amounts of power and echances the user's physical abilities to superhuman levels. One For All on Midoriya manifests as reddish-pink, vein-like streaks that spread across the empowered part of his body. Izuku can focus the stockpiled power into a single body part, or spread it across his entire body evenly. However, Izuku's body currently isn't natrurally accustumed to the Quirk, causing him to break the bones on the part of his body he used the stockpiled power. Because of this he mainly uses One For All on small portions — such as concentrating the power on his fingers — and uses a very small percentage of it, capping at around 5%. When Midoriya gains better control and mastery of One For All, the Quirk starts to manifest as viridian green lighting instead.

    Relationships:

    • Inko Midoriya (Mother. The two love each other deeply).
    • Hisashi Midoriya (Father — though he hasn't been much in neither Izuku's nor Inko's life. His whereabouts are unknown, but he left to work abroad).
    • All Might (Izuku has always admired All Might and strives to become a hero just like he used to be. In their first meeting, All Might saves Izuku from the Sludge Villain and signs the happy boy's notebook. However, Izuku is very shocked to see All Might's true form and is dismayed when the latter tells him being powerless does not fare well at all for his chances at becoming a hero. Despite this, Izuku earns All Might's respect after he runs toward the slime monster in an attempt to save Katsuki, and a mentor-student relationship blooms between the two when All Might chooses him as his successor. While All Might's training on Izuku is rough, he continues to give it his all in the hopes of achieving his dream. All Might and Izuku grow closer when All Might listens to Izuku's drive to train and do more than he has to become a great hero, with All Might impressed by Izuku's resolve. All Might is Izuku's confidante, mentor, and friend in and out of school, and they share a mutual respect for each other's heroism ideals. All Might returns Izuku's admiration by telling him that he was formerly Quirkless before he was given One For All. All Might is also impressed by how much Izuku has improved his Quirk after his time with Gran Torino, and deems it is time to tell Izuku of their Quirk's history Izuku's admiration and respect for All Might are so great that he avoids attacking All Might during the First Term Final Exam, but when it turns out he has no choice but to attack him with one of Katsuki's Grenadier Bracers, Izuku apologizes in advance. At first, Izuku is an extreme fanboy who tries to imitate All Might from his style of name and costume design. As he matures, later on, Izuku slowly learns to become his own hero and develop his own style. This change is noticed by All Might, who is proud to see Izuku on his way to becoming his own hero, improving his unique skill and style. Izuku has an almost father-and-son-like relationship with All Might, treating him as a father figure, demanding his respect and the truth from him during times where All Might would rather preserve Izuku's focus on becoming a hero).
    • Recovery Girl (Recovery Girl is one of the few people who know about Izuku's Quirk. She often scolds Izuku for using his Quirk dangerously, as he consistently requires the use of her healing Quirk. After the U.A. Sports Festival, Recovery Girl reaches her breaking point. Fearing that he will continue to cause serious harm to himself as long as he thinks he can just be healed by her, Recovery Girl refuses to heal Izuku's self-inflicted Quirk injuries).
    • Shouta Aizawa (Homeroom teacher. Initially, Izuku does not recognize him as a pro-hero and was put off by his deadpan manner. This lasted until the latter uses his Erasure Quirk to restrain him, which causes Izuku to remember he is Eraser Head, a pro-hero that he respects for his power and capabilities. At first, Shouta firmly does not believe Izuku can be a hero due to his reckless behavior when using his Quirk, as he would be useless in battle if he kept getting injured. However, Izuku proves to Shouta that he has potential; the latter is extremely impressed and sees Izuku's potential in becoming a pro-hero. Throughout the series, their relationship can be defined as a rocky, troublesome student-teacher relationship. As his teacher, Izuku listens to Shouta's orders and advice in order to improve himself. He has some level of respect towards Shouta, as he is surprised at the latter handling several villains by himself. However, Shouta's cold and logical personality conflicts with Izuku's own, making it difficult for the two to get along. Out of all his students, the exception being Katsuki, Shouta appears to antagonize Izuku the most whenever he does something that upsets him, a recurring problem being Izuku overusing his Quirk and breaking his body. As such, Shouta refers to Izuku as the 'Problem Child'. However, Shouta is still Izuku's teacher and as such, ultimately cares for him. He offers some level of consolation and guidance for Izuku when he is upset, and he will make sure Izuku does not do anything dangerous and act upon it. In return, Izuku once tries to help Shouta when he decides to fight off several members of the League of Villains and is amazed by his abilities since he realizes he greatly underestimated his teacher. However, he is horrified to watch him being overpowered by Noumu at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. This shows the more caring and inspirational side of Shouta helps Izuku get along better with him. Izuku also carries his teacher to safety after All Might appears. It is possible another reason they sometimes do not get along well is because of Izuku's personality and mindset bearing similarity to All Might's, who Izuku looks up to. Shouta and All Might do not get along, and this is extremely evident in Shouta and Izuku's relationship).
    • Class 1-A (Izuku has a positive relationship with pretty much everyone in the class (outside of Bakugou) and is often admired due to his positive qualities).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (Childhood friend — though their friendship deteriorated over the years. Ever since he failed to develop a Quirk as a child while Katsuki manifested his Explosion, the latter has seen Izuku as weak and constantly bullied him, giving him the derogatory nickname "Deku", which stems from "Dekunobou" or "someone who can't do anything": a nickname he always refers to him by. Interestingly enough, Izuku returns the favor by calling Katsuki his childhood nickname, "Kacchan". Izuku states that Katsuki makes all of Izuku's insecurities about himself bubble to the surface. Despite their strained relationship, Izuku still admires him for his strong Quirk, natural combat capabilities, confidence, and his ability to win. Since the end of the Battle Trial Arc, Izuku has not spoken to Katsuki on friendly terms due to Katsuki considering Izuku his arch-rival. Izuku is also surprised to see Katsuki is the one being teased by their class, a complete reversal of their middle school days. Even still, Izuku maintains respect for Katsuki and is shown to care for him. Izuku still calls him "Kacchan", a friendly nickname from their childhood. Izuku still respects Bakugou, though they also compete with each other).
    • Ochako Uraraka (Not counting Katsuki and All Might whom he knew beforehand, Ochako is the first person that Izuku interacted with at U.A. High School, wherein prior to the entrance exam, she used her Quirk to stop him from falling on the ground after he tripped over his own foot. In turn, he saved her from being attacked by a giant robot and she returned the favor by ensuring he landed safely on the ground after jumping to her rescue, afterwards trying to appeal to Present Mic to give him her own exam points so he would pass out of further gratitude. The two met again after becoming classmates and soon became close best friends alongside Tenya Iida; they get along very well and their discussions are always bright and friendly. They share similar ways of quick thinking, tenacity, perseverance, and high spirit, which contributes to their close friendship. Izuku also has a crush on her, but lacks the self-confidence to realize or act on it and is rather bashful when asked about this subject. A running gag is Izuku blushing and getting flustered whenever Ochako happens gets too physically close to him, though this occasionally translates to other girls. Ochako is the one who turned his once demeaning nickname "Deku" into a positive identity for him, saying it gave her a "never gives up" vibe. Although Izuku seemed to initially accept the name solely because Ochaco liked it, he came to value her meaning of it during their battle with Katsuki. This led to him choosing it as his hero name and acknowledging Ochaco as the motivation for it, which touched Ochako just as much as it irritated Katsuki).
    • Tenya Iida (Good friends after the U.A. Entrance Test. In their first meeting, Tenya labeled Izuku's muttering about heroes as a distraction and thought he would be a hindrance to the school which earned Izuku bad attention from his peers. However, in the entrance tests, Izuku surprised Tenya by selflessly going back to save Ochako and using his Quirk to destroy a giant robot in the process, and was the only one to deduce that Izuku's motivations were entirely altruistic. When they met again in class, Izuku first thought that Tenya was scary akin to Katsuki and that they wouldn't get along, but was surprised when Tenya instead immediately apologized for his previous treatment to him and (mistakenly believing that Izuku had figured out the Rescue Points system of testing on his own) even said he considered Izuku better than him in many ways after the entrance course, much to Izuku's bafflement. Later that day, Tenya offered to walk home with Izuku, and they were joined by Ochako. Subsequently, Izuku got to know Tenya better, where he found out that while the latter was serious he was also kind and they ended up becoming best friends alongside Ochako. Izuku and Tenya are usually friendly with each other. They are usually seen together having friendly discussions. However, sometimes their friendship slightly falters such as when Izuku criticized Tenya for seeking revenge against Stain and Tenya punching Izuku in the face for acting recklessly by attempting to save Katsuki. Despite this, Izuku and Tenya's friendship has rebounded back many times despite these mishaps, mainly because they are only concerned for each other's well being).
    • Shouto Todoroki (Became friends after their battle in the Sports Festival. Shouto originally saw Izuku as his arch-rival, due to him having connections with All Might (a person with whom his father has a major rivalry with). Izuku, on the other hand, has always held great respect for Shouto, admitting that he is far stronger than him. Shouto confronts Izuku at the U.A. Sports Festival, asking if he is All Might's secret love child, but the latter denies this as Shouto decides to reveal his family history. After hearing Shouto's tragic backstory and seeing his sadness, Izuku starts to show sympathy for the pain he went through and resolves to help him overcome his dark past by getting him to use his power, telling Shouto that the power is his own and not his father's. Although Izuku loses to Shouto while trying to help him, Izuku's actions do have an impact as Shoto starts reacquainting himself with parts of his past he had forgotten and stops rejecting his power. Shouto also recognizes that Izuku knowingly insisted on helping him, despite knowing it would lead to Shouto's victory. Shouto even comes to his aid when Izuku and Tenya are attacked by Stain, telling his father he was going to "help a friend" when he received Izuku's location. They work well together, going on to defeat the infamous hero killer. After the battle, Izuku and Shouto are on friendly terms with each other, with Izuku even laughing at Shouto's expense when he was worried that he was cursed to always hurt people's hands. They are good friends thereafter — Shouto, who was previously shown to have little interactions with his classmates, starts to hang around with Izuku and his friends more frequently, even joining their lunch table. Izuku has had subtle parallels with Shouto's mother, Rei Todoroki. From giving Shouto eerily similar glances, Rei during her mental breakdown, and Izuku during his match with Shouto, to Shoto being openly vulnerable around both of them. Shouto has a deep love for his mother, and a deep friendship with Izuku as he was the one who inspired him to reach out to others).
    • Tsuyu Asui (Great friends. Tsuyu respects and admires Izuku for his heroic actions, as well as his victory against Katsuki. She becomes friendly with Izuku, requesting he call her by her first name, which is something he frequently forgets or is too shy and polite to do, so she corrects him. He sometimes remembers and forces himself to call her by her name to make her happy. She and Izuku are close friends. Tsuyu even notices the similarities between Izuku and All Might's powers, which worried him so he has to give her a vague answer).
    • Fumikage Tokoyami (Friends. Their friendship is built on mutual respect towards each other. They team up along with Ochako and Mei during the Cavalry Battle. Fumikage respects Izuku as a leader, as he leaves him with making the decisions of their team. Izuku himself respects Fumikage's strength and the power of his Quirk, acknowledging him as one of the strongest combatants in Class 1-A. They later sit beside each other to watch the Sports Festival. Izuku later cheers on Fumikage and Tsuyu during their exam when they are up against Ectoplasm).
    • Eijirou Kirishima (On good terms).
    • Minoru Mineta (Izuku gets along very well with Minoru, who sits behind him in class, although like most of his classmates, he is put off and disgusted by Minoru's perversions, although he still admires his heroism and quick thinking in difficult times. In turn, Minoru has come to admire Izuku for his acts of heroism and for believing in his abilities as a hero, though he is somewhat skeptical at first of Izuku's determination. The two have become friends, particularly following their battle together against the League of Villains alongside Tsuyu. They have also been seen talking to each other and hanging out in-between classes on occasion. During the obstacle course, Izuku was the only one who was concerned for Minoru when he was hit by a villain bot and shouted if he was okay. In turn, Minoru comforted Izuku after he failed to secure an internship offer following the sports festival. It has been hinted that Minoru is jealous of how Izuku gains attention and affection from other females (Ochako, Mei, Mina, etc). It appears he has picked up some of Izuku's habits, as he uses his own knowledge of heroes' Quirks to defeat Midnight. Witnessing this, Izuku is impressed by Minoru's ingenuity and praises him for it).
    • Mashirao Ojiro (They get along well, though Mashirao didn't team up with him since Izuku was a target in U.A. Sports Festival Arc. Despite this, Mashirao still tries to warn him about Hitoshi's Quirk, Izuku also standing up for him after Hitoshi insults him. Mashirao worries for him but is relieved when he emerges from the fight victorious. During the Vs. Hero Killer Arc, he is very amazed that Izuku improves his Quirk and overcomes his drawbacks. He also tries to comfort Izuku at the training camp after he was the only one left without a partner).
    • Denki Kaminari (On good terms and occasionaly talk to each other. Denki also considers Izuku as "very diligent").
    • Hanta Sero (on good terms with each other and friends).
    • Mina Ashido (Izuku and Mina have mutual respect for each other, though they have rarely interacted. Mina has a playful bounce off of Izuku's muttering, though she doesn't seem to mind it, unlike most characters).
    • Class 1-B (He is on good terms with most of Class 1-B, except Neito Monoma, who heavily resents and envies the class).
    • Neito Monoma (Due to his resentment and envy towards Class 1-A, Izuku is often a target of Neito's taunts and mockery).
    • Mei Hatsume (Izuku and Mei first meet during the Sports Festival. Mei takes an immediate interest in Izuku when he gets first place in the Obstacle Race and as a result, got the ten million point headband for the Cavalry Battle. She sees this as an opportunity to bring attention to her inventions by using Izuku and approaches him before the battle, asking to join his team. In return for her joining, she offers him and his other teammates support equipment to aid for their battle. Her tendency to get in his personal space creeps Izuku out, though they still get along well because of their shared admiration for heroes. Currently, they seem to be on close terms with each other. After the U.A. Tournament, the two do not meet again for a while, until Izuku wants Power Loader's help in improving and redesigning his costume. Mei recognizes him during their second encounter, but doesn't appear to remember his name, and dismisses it in order to go back to her inventions, only to return her attention back to him when he brought up his purpose for entering the workshop. Overall, the two generally get along well as Izuku has no problem talking with Mei during their first encounter. They became acquainted over a jetpack Mei creates that is similar to a hero Izuku is familiar with, Airjet. Izuku appears to tolerate Mei better than some of his classmates, like Tenya and Ochako, since he shares some similarities to her as he creates ways to counter the Quirks of others and rambles, and she does the same about gadgets).
    • Hitoshi Shinsou (They first meet in the fighting tournament of the Sports Festival. Izuku learns much about Hitoshi's Quirk from Mashirao, but accidentally plays into Hitoshi's hands, though the powers of those who previously wielded One For All free him from Hitoshi's control. Hitoshi is shocked by this and tries to control Izuku again by claiming to be jealous of Izuku's Quirk because of its combat efficiency. Izuku ignores him, though internally understands Hitoshi's situation as he himself was considered unfavorable due to having no Quirk before One For All. Before their battle in the Sports Festival, Hitoshi and Izuku are hostile to each other, but after their battle, Hitoshi seems to have gained respect for Izuku, telling him not to lose too pitifully while Izuku respects Hitoshi's goal to enter the Department of Heroics).
    • Gran Torino (Gran Torino requested Izuku to be his sidekick in an internship so that he can properly teach Izuku about the One for All Quirk. Izuku first learns of him from All Might and wonders what type of mentor he is after All Might becomes scared. Gran Torino and Izuku were off to a bad start when they first met, with Gran Torino putting up a façade of being senile and Izuku being disappointed with having to train with someone who was no longer functional. However, when Izuku moved to leave Gran Torino promptly dropped his façade and showed Izuku what he was really capable of as Izuku was amazed by his true nature. He saw the similarities between All Might and Gran Torino's personality shifts which helped him better understand their connection and accepted the offer to train. He started to gain respect for Gran Torino, politely calling the elderly hero "Mr. Torino". They bonded to an extent and Torino's teaching helped Izuku gain better control of his Quirk without hurting himself. Torino also protected Izuku from a Noumu while Izuku was worried for him.Gran Torino has shown to be impressed with Izuku, stating that All Might chose a fine successor, due to Izuku's quick thinking and potential even stating that Izuku has the potential to become a "monster" due to these traits. As they parted ways, Gran Torino asked him what his name was and Izuku replied it was Deku, with Gran Torino becoming the second person to make Izuku proud of his nickname).
    • Endeavor (They first meet during the Sports Festival, where the Pro Hero tells Izuku to not hold back against Shouto. After having heard about Endeavor's conflict with All Might, and knowing about Shouto's past, being disgusted to hear him view his son as a tool, Izuku annoys Endeavor with his declaration of not being All Might, and that Shouto isn't Endeavor).
    • Tomura Shigaraki (Enemies. Due to them being groomed to be the successors of their respective mentors, Izuku and Tomura mutually despise each other; Tomura despises Izuku for his admiration of All Might (someone he hates) while Izuku is disgusted with Tomura's villainous actions. During the U.S.J. Arc, Izuku saved All Might, which caused Tomura to take an interest in Izuku, as shown when he watched Izuku's match during U.A.'s Sports Festival. Later in Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall, they unintentionally met each other again, so Tomura decided to talk with Izuku about the difference between him and Stain. After hearing Izuku's thoughts on the matter and before leaving the shopping mall, Tomura declared that the next time they meet, he would show Izuku no mercy. Tomura is considered to be a dark reflection of Izuku. While Izuku works toward becoming the greatest hero, Tomura strives to become the greatest villain. Izuku and Tomura share many similarities, such as a preference for wearing red sneakers and initially having near-total dependence on their respective mentor figures before gradually developing as their own distinct hero and villain. Interestingly, when Tomura was five years old, he bore a striking resemblance to Izuku. As young children, both Tenko and Izuku had a strong admiration for heroes. Izuku knows nothing about Tenko/Tomura's past, but if he was to discover the villain's past and suffering, he would likely think of him as someone that needs saving).
    • Stain (Stain respects Izuku's reasoning to be a Hero and sees worth in letting Izuku live. Izuku, on the other hand, saved Tenya from Stain after intervening in the man's attempt to kill his friend. Izuku impressed Stain with his will to defend his friend and efforts to defeat him, which was something he deemed worthy as a hero. With the help of Tenya and Shouto, Izuku managed to defeat the villain. When Izuku was captured by one of the Noumu-like creatures, Stain was the one who saved him, as the latter expressed shock at this act and was frightened by Stain's speech and aura before he fell unconscious. While Izuku does not approve of Stain's nihilistic methods, Izuku respects Stain for living according to his ideals and never giving up on achieving his ideal world, also comparing the respect they both have for All Might. Because of their encounter, Spinner prevented his comrade Magne from killing Izuku declaring that he was the person that Stain saw fit to save thus being a man worthy of the title of a true hero).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Izuku's greatest asset prior to receiving his Quirk was his vast knowledge of fundamental hero skills and tactics. Izuku studied Pro Heroes for years and is able to apply that knowledge during crisis situations in a practical manner. His immense bravery and desire to become a hero were also important factors in giving him the mentality to protect others. Before gaining his Quirk from All Might, he took on the Sludge Villain and rescued Katsuki because of his boldness and application of heroic skills, something that deeply impressed the No. 1 Hero. Upon training with All Might, Izuku inherited One For All from him and was granted the ability to harness a stockpile of powerful energy. He can move faster than the eye can see and take down an enormous Villain Bot in a single punch, but the physical backlash at the time prevented Izuku from being able to fight properly or compete with his peers on an even playing field, as throwing a punch or kick with anything beyond moderate force will shatter the bones in his arms and legs. Even so, he still possessed impressive physical durability, and his drive allowed him to withstand the drawbacks of One For All for the most part. Despite the intense drawbacks of One For All, Izuku's wits provide him with ways to use One For All that is still effective in battle. He also retains his ability to act instinctively based on his notes and possesses basic hand-to-hand combat knowledge. By applying those correctly, Izuku is able to fight toe-to-toe with even the strongest students of Class 1-A, such as Katsuki and Shouto. Under the tutelage of Gran Torino, Izuku acquired more control over One For All, leading to the creation of Full Cowl, a technique that would eventually become a key component of his fighting style. With Izuku gaining greatly enhanced maneuverability, strength, and a significant reduction in the physical backlash created when using his Quirk uncontrollably, he was able to drastically improve his overall fighting capabilities; his newly attained abilities garnered praise from Gran Torino, who noted that Izuku was on a higher level than he was compared to the Sports Festival. This specific improvement enabled Izuku to compete more closely with his classmates in the physical aspects of the Hero Course and even allows him to fight properly against top villains like the Hero Killer: Stain, who had single-handedly bested various Pro Heroes. As Izuku's mastery over his Quirk improves, so do his practical skills. Also, when his skills and experience increase, so does his confidence, which is said to be a source of inspiration to his classmates as well.
    • Trained Muscles: Usage of One For All requires the user to have strong muscles, as One For All is a lot to handle and could cause the user's body to be blown apart if they don't possess the necessary bodily strength. Having been trained by All Might for 10 months in order to get his body physically ready to inherit One For All, Izuku gained a muscular physique that lets him perform at parameters higher than that of an average student outside U.A.'s hero course. During the Quirk Apprehension Test, he demonstrated a grip strength of 56 kilograms and the ability to run the 50-meter dash in 7.02 seconds (15.93 mph/25.64 kph). Even after these events, Deku diligently trains his muscles every day and becomes physically stronger throughout the series. He is often seen running laps and using dumbbells or grippers to train during his free time. Deku can also be observed doing the air chair exercise during the breaks between classes.
    • Immense Stamina: Izuku has shown on many occasions that he is capable of handling large amounts of pain. Such times were mostly side-effects of overusing his Quirk and frequently led to various broken bones. Izuku is able to avoid those repercussions by staying in a safe range of One For All power output (currently, this is around 5-to-8%). Should he be forced to output more power, Izuku is still capable of fighting decently even with broken limbs thanks to the effects of adrenaline, but will succumb to exhaustion a while later. Izuku also has to be wary of his arms, which have grown damaged due to his repeated injuries and could eventually stop working altogether if he doesn't restrain himself.
    • Immense Strength: Even without his Quirk, Izuku has shown high levels of physical strength for a person his age. During his training with All Might (who weighs 255 kilograms or 562 pounds), he was shown to be able to lift him on his back while walking. During the sports festival, he could lift a slab of metal roughly the size of his body and wield it as an effective weapon to cleave a one-point bot in two. Demonstrably, using One For All at steadily higher percentages ends up enhancing his body to superhuman levels in order to be capable of doing so. When using One For All, his strength further increases to a variety of boundless levels. at his current maximum (5%), he can shatter metal pillars with a single punch.
    • Immense Speed and Reflexes: Izuku possesses great speed and reflexes both with and without Full Cowl. He can react in time to defend from Shouto's ice which has been shown to occur in the literal blink of an eye and can keep up with Katsuki's movements in their first fight. When using Full Cowl, his reflexes and movement speed elevates to higher levels; at 5%, he can keep up with Tenya's Recipro Burst which can move faster than the eye can see.
    • Immense Durability: Izuku has shown the ability to withstand explosions from Katsuki without One For All and with 5% he's taken building-sized explosions from Katsuki.
    • Keen Intellect: Izuku has proven to be exceptionally intelligent on many occasions, displaying both keen observational and analytical skills as well as sharp intuition and resourcefulness. His grades are among the highest of his class, showing that his One For All training rarely interferes with his studying. Izuku's intelligence has probably been a more useful asset to him than One For All so far. Izuku is a quick learner, which has helped him figure out most of One For All's mechanisms in a short span of time and work around its limitations. While some of his moves have been directly inspired by All Might (if not, outright copied), the majority of Izuku's moves and techniques were all conceived by him during sudden sparks of inspiration, proof of his creativity. Izuku also has extensive knowledge of Pro Heroes, his classmates, and their Quirks, taking notes of them in great detail in his Hero Analysis for the Future. This is fruit of excellent observational skills coupled with his own desires in becoming a hero by learning from the best, meaning that Izuku always has a natural interest in expanding his knowledge further and further. Izuku is an exceptional strategist and tactician. By combining his aforementioned quick learning and knowledge about Quirks, Izuku is able to devise plans that take advantage of his friends' abilities to the fullest. Izuku's calculations have been crucial at several moments of his school life, allowing him to earn victories, such as in the Battle Trial; escape dangerous situations, such as the U.S.J. Incident; and save lives. In his battle with his classmates, he used his knowledge of their powers to his advantage and easily overcame a majority of them, shocking a few of them with his skill.
    • Adaptability: Thanks to his analytical abilities, Izuku is able to replicate the techniques of others. For example, after training with Gran Torino and gaining minor mastery of One For All, Izuku was able to duplicate Katsuki's moves during a training exercise.
    • Leadership Skills: As a natural consequence of his bravery and strategic mindset, Izuku has displayed incredible leadership skills on various occasions. By the start of his U.A. life, Izuku had already earned the trust of Ochako Uraraka and Tenya thanks to his actions in the U.A. Entrance Exam, which was enough to allow him to be voted class representative early on, although he relinquished the position to Tenya shortly after. Tsuyu and Minoru Mineta also placed their faith on Izuku during the U.S.J. Incident, following his instructions with little hesitation.
    • Indominable Will: Throughout his life, and as one of his greatest traits, Izuku displayed an extraordinary level of willpower. Following his dream to become the greatest hero, Izuku develops great determination and willpower. While feeble and doubtful at the beginning, Izuku steadily developed and proved his strong willpower against far menacing adversaries, people doubting and believing in him, and proven to be stronger than many of his classmates.

    Ultimate Moves:

    • Detroit Smash (デトロイトスマッシュ, Detoroito Sumasshu): The same as All Might's move, except Izuku does it in the form of an uppercut or a straightforward punch. The move is a simple punch focusing One For All's stockpiling power into the fist.
    • Delaware Smash (デラウェアスマッシュ, Derawea Sumasshu): Izuku flicks his finger to create a powerful wind pressure shock wave that has enough force to break large chunks of ice made by Shouto. Due to using this attack at 100%, it fractures the finger, limiting the time he can use this move without gravely injuring himself up to ten times.
    • Full Cowling (フルカウル, Furu Kauru): An experimental Technique Izuku is trying to develop since he started training with Gran Torino. This technique allows Izuku to utilize a percentage of the full power of One For All throughout his body, by letting the power course and flow through him instead of concentrating it in one location. According to Izuku, this technique gives him greater maneuverability. Activating this technique gives him immense strength, speed, mobility, and agility. It also prevents him from breaking his bones when attacking. The cost of using this technique reduces the damage of how much his attacks do since instead of centering the power into a certain area, Izuku spreads it throughout his body. When using Full Cowling, Izuku's body creates viridian green lightning that circuits around him, with the reddish-pink streaks more often than not disappearing from his body. • 5% Detroit Smash (5パーセント デトロイトスマッシュ, Go-pāsento Detoroito Sumasshu): Izuku activates Full Cowl at 5% then jumps into the air and delivers an enhanced downward punch to the opponent. He has also used this move in the form of a straight, forward-facing punch.
    • One For All - 100%: A technique that allows Izuku to attack using the full power of One For All in the desired part of his body, with the cost of said body part breaking upon execution. Further usage of the same limb after an initial attack can cause scarring as seen with his fights against Shouto (causing Izuku to get surgery on his right hand due to injuries). • 100% Detroit Smash (100% デトロイトスマッシュ, Hyaku Pāsento Detoroito Sumasshu): This move involves Izuku activating One For All at 100% in his arm and then striking his target with a lunging punch.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • One For All - 30%: A technique that allows Izuku to use 30% of One For All in his right arm. With 30% Izuku was able to effortlessly blow away security bots with vast amounts of wind pressure created by the punch.
    • One For All - 45%: A technique that allows Izuku to use 45% of One For All. He's only able to bring this level of power out for a brief period of time; to keep it from wrecking his body he activates it just before the moment of impact.
    • St. Louis Smash Air Force (セントルイス スマッシュエアフォース, Sento Ruisu Sumasshu Eafōsu): Izuku arches his leg back and performs a strong vertical roundhouse kick, firing a large blast of compressed air.
    • 1,000,000% Delaware Detroit Smash (1000000% デトロイトデラウェアスマッシュ, Hyaku-man Pāsento Derawea Detoroito Sumasshu): This move is the strongest smash move in Izuku's arsenal, which involves him activating One For All at 100% during an adrenaline rush and then striking his opponent with a full-swing attack. When performing the move Izuku first uses a full-handed Delaware Smash, then delivers a devastating Detroit Smash.
    • Texas Smash (テキサススマッシュ, Tekisasu Sumasshu): Izuku throws a punch in order to create wind pressure in order to blow objects and people away.
    • Wyoming Smash (ワイオミング スマッシュ, Waiomingu Sumasshu): Izuku draws out 100% of his power into his arms, then proceeds to spike his opponent on the head, creating a powerful shockwave as a result.
    • Full Cowl - Shoot Style (フルカウル シュートスタイル, Furu Kauru Shūto Sutairu): While using Full Cowl, Izuku uses a fighting style that focuses more on kicking. Izuku concentrates One for All: Full Cowl's effects in his torso and legs rather than his arms, allowing him to put out even more power due to the fact that the human leg muscles are naturally stronger than the human arm muscles, granting him enough power and stability and allowing him to step away from the shackles of having to imitate All Might. To best achieve this fighting style, Izuku might need the Iron Soles. • St. Louis Smash (セントルイス スマッシュ, Sento Ruisu Sumasshu): While using the Shoot Style, Izuku leaps into the air and before swinging around to deliver a roundhouse kick to the opponent's face.
    • Full Cowl - 20%: Izuku uses 20% of One For All's full power and distributes it throughout his body, giving him even greater power and speed boost. • Manchester Smash (マンチェスタースマッシュ, Manchesutā Sumasshu): Izuku leaps into the air and flips forward to bring down an axe kick upon his opponent.
    • Full Cowl - 30%: A technique that allows Izuku to consistently use 30% of One For All.
    • Full Cowl - 100% (フルカウル 100%, Furu Kauru Hyaku-pāsento): Izuku activates One For All to its fullest extent throughout Full Cowl, granting him a tremendous boost in speed and strength that rivals that of All Might. The power increase seemingly gives him fire-like trails coming from his eyes and light-colored hair — which can also spike up significantly.
    • United States of World Smash (ユナイテッド ステイツ オブ ワールド スマッシュ, Yunaiteddo Suteitsu Obu Wārudo Sumasshu?: This Ultimate Move is Izuku's variation of All Might's United States of Smash. Izuku begins this Ultimate Move by increasing his power levels using Full Cowl - 100% and starts unleashing a violent volley of punches. After this, he runs around his opponent, building up momentum and increasing air pressure before delivering a devastating kick.

    • Intelligence: 5/6 (A).
    • Cooperativeness: 6/6 (S).
    • Presence: 1/6 (E).

    Potential Future Equipment:

    • Iron Soles (アイアンソール, Aiansōru): These Iron Armor Soles attach to Izuku's signature red shoes. Upon kicking something, the soles absorb the impact and redistribute the kinetic energy back out to increase the impact strength of Izuku's kicks. The Iron Soles can be created by Mei Hatsume under Izuku's request Izuku if he wishes to change his fighting style or add a new one to his repertoire.
    • Air Force Gloves: These gloves allow Izuku to focus and aim bursts of pressurized air that he creates by flicking his fingers. This allows Izuku to use long-range projectile attacks using One For All. The Air Force can be created by Mei Hatsume in conjunction with the Iron Soles.

    Hero Analysis for the Future (将来の為のヒーロー分析, Shōrai no Tame no Hīrō Bunseki) is a set of notebooks belonging to Izuku Midoriya. Izuku uses these notebooks to jot down his own analysis of Heroes (including the students of Class 1-A) and their Quirks after observing them in action. The contents of the books are apparently very detailed and well-written, to the point of impressing even All Might after he took a brief look at the pages of notebook 13. Izuku also uses this book to write down ideas for his own hero career, such as Costume designs, combat strategies, and potential Ultimate Moves. Izuku treasures these notebooks, as they contain years' worth of observations about numerous Heroes he admires. At the beginning of the series, Katsuki Bakugo had stolen, burned, and then tossed the thirteenth notebook away in front of Izuku, who managed to retrieve it later. All Might also signed an autograph in this notebook after saving Izuku from the Sludge Villain. During his mock battle with Katsuki, Izuku is revealed to have memorized the contents of the books, which he told Katsuki, who recalled the book and was angry that the once weakling had an edge over him. At the Sports Festival, it is revealed Izuku has documented the Quirks of all his classmates. A majority were shocked at the extreme detail he accumulated and rejected any help from the notes in their match. Izuku also writes his imaginings of how he would use his classmates' Quirks if he possessed them himself.

    As a child, Izuku Midoriya greatly admired Heroes and dreamed of being a hero like his idol, All Might, once he got his Quirk. However, by the time children his age manifested their powers, Izuku still showed no signs of developing any special abilities. A doctor's visit revealed the devastating truth: Izuku has two joints in his pinky toe, a telltale sign that he was born Quirkless. Izuku had trouble accepting this at first and hoped for a miracle while he was still young. He tried desperately to use telekinesis or breathe fire (his mother and father's Quirks respectively), but to no avail. Izuku would eventually have to face reality: he was one of the very few people who would never develop a Quirk. Later on, Izuku kept watching videos of All Might that night on his computer and tearfully asked his mother if he could still become a hero. She hugged him and apologized, words that Izuku would remember as not what he wanted to hear because they made him feel inadequate to those with Quirks. Even so, Izuku still kept aiming to be a hero and to get into U.A. High School. This ambition led him to be constantly bullied and ridiculed by his classmates, especially his childhood playmate, Katsuki Bakugou, who believed it impossible for someone without a Quirk to ever become a hero. Despite this, Izuku still considered the two of them to be friends at the time, always following him around. However, things escalated when Izuku tried to help Katsuki after he fell off a small bridge into a stream. Izuku offered a helping hand, but Katsuki's pride caused him to take this as an insult. He believed that Izuku made him appear as if he needed aid from someone who is beneath him. This would strain the relationship between the two for years to come, and Katsuki would relentlessly bully him from that day forward. Despite coming to fear Katuski and considering him a jerk, Izuku continued to admire him for his strength and skill. During his second year of middle school, Izuku was reading a hero magazine at the Tatooin Shopping District when he ran into Katsuki and his two friends. Izuku was then bullied by the three boys, with Katsuki saying that a useless Quirkless boy like him could do nothing but dream. At that moment, a villain suddenly appeared, using his Quirk to rob wallets and purses. Katsuki decided to chase down the villain, hoping to get into U.A. High School on recommendation. As Izuku continued to admire Katsuki for continuing to fearlessly chase after the villain, even after a powerful storm came in, he realized that the villain's Quirk was likely sand-based rather than smoke-based and began searching the alleyways for him. Izuku eventually found the villain after they had already been found by Katsuki and Airjet, the latter of which recommended that Izuku stay back while he praises Katsuki. Before leaving, Izuku thought that Katsuki, being able to deduce the true nature of the villain and arrive before him, makes him incredible despite his unpleasant personality.

    Izuku and Bakugou attended class at Aldera Junior High until their teacher announces that all students graduated that year. Katsuki replied that he is not like the other class members, calling them all fodder and that only he is destined to attend U.A., and he alone will surpass All Might. Once his teacher announved that Izuku is attempting to get into U.A. as well, Katsuki is shocked and furious. He berated Izuku and uses his Explosion Quirk to scare him, claiming that someone who is Quirkless cannot get into U.A. and cannot do anything at all. After class, Katsuki takes Izuku's hero notebook, burns it, and tosses it out the window. Katsuki tells Izuku that Heroes have had stories about them since their early school years, that only he is destined to reach that school and Izuku is just a stepping stone for his greatness. Before leaving class, Katsuki warns Izuku not to apply to U.A. at all. He also tells Izuku to "take a swam dive off the building" if he wanted to become a hero by dying and hopefully being reborn as one, basically incentivizing Izuku to commit suicide. Izuku however doesn't fall for that, though the hurtful words still stung him. Izuku leaves the classroom to retrieve his notebook and recollects about how he started dreaming about being a hero as well as how he found out about his status as Quirkless. The same day, while walking home, a villain fleeing the scene of a crime encounters Izuku. The villain had apparently escaped All Might earlier in the day. The villain decided that to avoid detection, he should take over Izuku's body. Just as Izuku fell into despair, All Might showed up and saved him. Stunned, Izuku asked for an autograph but finds All Might left it for him before he could ask the questions he had on his mind. In an effort to get All Might to stay, Izuku latched on to All Might's leg and hung on while he launched himself into the air. After a brief struggle, All Might agreed with Izuku that he would die if he had let go and they soon landed safely on a rooftop. Izuku asked All Might if he could become a hero without a Quirk, telling him that he always wanted to be a hero and save people. Suddenly, All Might's appearance drastically changed to a more skeletal form, revealing his true appearance to Midoriya for the first time. All Might reveals to the shocked young man that he was injured in a battle five years ago and can only stay in his hero form for a short period of time. He goes on to tell Izuku that professionals must always put their lives at stake to save the day and thus cannot openly say whether it is possible to be a Hero without a Quirk as it may not be possible. All Might says that if Izuku cares about saving people, he can always go on to become a policeman, as in that way he can be responsible for putting the villains in jail (even though it is a ridiculing job). He tells Izuku that it is not bad to dream, but warns him not to obscure the facts and then leaves. Devastated at the words of his idol, Izuku started reconsidering his dream of becoming a hero. His thoughts are interrupted as he gets near the scene of a villain attack. Izuku recognizes Katsuki as the victim being possessed by the Sludge Villain that had attacked him earlier and feels guilty that he might have accidentally let the villain escape from All Might's possession. Izuku, having looked at Katsuki's pleading eyes, rushes towards the villain, attempting to save Katsuki despite being Quirkless. As the Sludge Villain prepares to attack Izuku, All Might, inspired by the boy's action, shows up and defeats the villain before Izuku could get hurt. The Pro Heroes at the scene started berating Izuku for his reckless behavior. Katsuki became so mad that he was nearly saved by Izuku, that he caught up to him and told him that he was not saved by him at all before angrily walking away. All Might appeared and thanked Izuku for reminding him what it means to be a hero and then explained that what he did was what most top heroes did in their younger days, this made him tell Izuku that he can become a hero as he offered him the chance to become one. All Might told Izuku thay he is worthy to inherit his strength and that he has the power to transfer his Quirk to people, to the Izuku's shock. All Might then began to train him at the Takoba Municipal Beach Park by moving large pieces of garbage around, such as trucks, large office drawers, various craters, and bookshelves. He explains Izuku has to train his body to be strong enough to withstand the power of his Quirk otherwise it can result in Izuku losing limbs.

    After 10 months of intense training, the day of the entrance exam arrives. At six o'clock in the morning, at the last possible second, Izuku moves the final piece of garbage of the entire beach. All Might was amazed as Izuku cleaned the whole beach and commends him as he cuts off a piece of his hair and gives it to Izuku, who is surprised he has to eat it, receiving his first dose, a very small piece of One For All.

    Entry settings

    Full Name: Minoru Mineta (峰田実, Mineta Minoru). Hero Name: Fresh Picked Hero: Grape Juice. (モギタテヒーロー グレープジュース, Mogitate Hīrō: Gurēpu Jūsu). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Male. Age: 15. Birthday: October 8. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: A. Family: Minoru was raised by his single mother, with his family lacking a father. Seat in Class 1-A: 19. Fighting Style: Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Minoru is a fair-skinned boy with a large, round head and rather puffy cheeks. His nose is small, stubby, and points slightly upwards, and he has an unusually distinguishable philtrum, oval-shaped eyes with large, black pupils, and notably thin eyebrows. He has a head of short dark purple hair with four large ball-shaped clumps resembling a mohawk. His body is slim and stubby, standing at 108 centimeters/3'6½" feet tall.

    Clothing: During school, he wears the standard U.A. uniform, but modified due to his short stature, with only one button on the jacket.

    Hero costume: Minoru's hero costume is simplistic, consisting only of a purple shirt and mask with a yellow cape, boots, and gloves. His pants are white with a lighter purple trim and stick out quite a lot around his waist.

    Potential Hero Costume Upgrade: For a possible upgrade to Mineta's hero costume, he can add a yellow stem-like detail propped up on his hair, contributing to the grape theme of his costume.

    Personality/History: Minoru is timid but perverted to the point of infamy, which makes him unpopular with the girls and even some of the boys, who consider his interests and mannerisms depraved and rude. His mind frequently trails off to lewd thoughts, even in completely unrelated situations. When an opportunity to peep at the girls arises, Minoru becomes determined to take it, although this often leads to painful results or him being restrained so he won't cause trouble again. Minoru's interest in women is one of his motivations to become a hero, alongside general popularity. He is unashamed of those traits, openly admitting them out loud. Minoru isn't interested in children, however, having shown only interest in girls his age or older. To add to this, Minoru has a huge jealous streak, often envying those who are seen as cool and attract female attention, while lamenting how seemingly simple and underpowered his Quirk is compared to his classmates. Occasionally, Minoru will try to act charming and impressive, though his efforts usually fail and often make him come off as obnoxious. Minoru can be hypocritical, criticizing others for perceived perverted behavior, even if they are just misunderstandings. Minoru is one who always speaks his mind, even when it comes off as harsh and insulting due to his comments being more on the cynical side. He also has a more teasing and goading side, even when he's not being perverted and has a habit of jeering at others for fun. However, Minoru is not a bully and does express fear and concern when others are hurt or in danger. When putting his perverted and unpleasant character aside, there are times when he can be genuinely kind and friendly. Furthermore, despite his crass attitude, Minoru isn't beyond realizing when he may have offended someone, as seen when he apologized to Mezou Shouji for calling him an octopus while the latter explained his past of being abused because of his appearance. Minoru easily freaks out in moments of great stress or fear, acting impulsively, crying when the situation does not look favorable, and abusing his Quirk recklessly, to the point of hurting himself. Minoru isn't a very confident fighter and may attempt to flee in highly disadvantageous situations whenever the opportunity presents itself. During his time at U.A. however, Minoru has gradually become braver as he's continues to learn and grow alongside his classmates, standing his ground even when overpowered and clearly terrified. While Minoru is well known for freaking out and crying excessively, more serious events can lead him to a state of severe shock and denial Minoru is shown to be surprisingly intelligent, able to score very high on tests and be in the top half of Class 1-A's grades, despite being considered a slacker by most of the class. At the same time, though, he also displays a very smug and complacent side whenever his aptitude is noticed, and his confidence often proves to be quite unbalanced: either strongly doubting himself or feeling highly overconfident. Additionally, Minoru can develop creative and competent strategies to achieve victory, pushing through his flaws when needed. Another one of Minoru's ambitions is to be popular, trying everything in his power to be loved by everyone, oblivious of his perverted behavior being the reason why he isn't. His attempts usually fail, as everything he does gets him nowhere in popularity, only being good friends with Denki Kaminari and Izuku Midoriya and having an on-and-off friendship with Tsuyu Asui, while the rest of the class doesn't talk to him often. While Minoru wants to be cool or popular, he is frowned upon by many girls and even some boys due to his personality. Despite his bad qualities and nervousness, Minoru proves he can rise to the occasion when needed. He can showcase his fierce courage and aptitude when it truly matters and can usually be reinforced with encouragement. Minoru can also be just as heroic and selfless as the rest of Class 1-A.

    Backstory: When he was in middle school, Minoru Mineta felt intense envy and resentment towards the students who were very popular with girls. This desire for female admiration led him to define the reason he wanted to become a hero: He believed if he managed to become one, he would also be popular. In order to achieve his dreams, he managed to pass the entrance exams and became a student at U.A. High School.

    Quirk(s): Pop Off (もぎもぎ, Mogimogi) — Mutant-Type Quirk. Pop Off allows the user to produce sticky spheres from their head that they can pluck painlessly. Once Minoru removes one of his spheres, a new one will grow in its place almost instantly. The spheres will adhere to any surface they come into contact with, except for Minoru himself. Water does not seem to affect the adhesion capabilities of the spheres. The stickiness of the spheres corresponds to Minoru's internal health, lasting several hours to a day if he is in good condition. If Minoru removes too many spheres from his head in quick succession, he will begin to bleed from the scalp. As part of his training, Minoru continuously pulled off the balls on his head to increase their adhesiveness, strengthen his scalp, and reduce the risk of bleeding from his head despite suffering from the said injury during his training.

    Relationships:

    • Class 1-A (Most of Class 1-A has a fairly low opinion of Minoru due to his perverted antics and cowardly nature. The boys and girls alike tend to scold or punish him whenever he does or says something lewd, and this carries over to the rest of the staff. Despite this, Minoru does make a few friends during his time at U.A., and the class does generally acknowledge his power growth over time).
    • Izuku Midoriya (Good friends).
    • Katsuki Bakugou (Minoru shares a rather negative relationship with Katsuki. Like his other classmates, Minoru is put-off by his loud-mouthed nature and violent behavior, while Katsuki constantly derides Minoru as a coward and a weakling).
    • Denki Kaminari (Good friends — with Denki even joining Mineta's pervy schemes on occasion).
    • Hanta Sero (Hanta is often seen chastising Minoru for his perverse actions, though they get along as well. Minoru was also cheering for Hanta during his battle with Shouto in the Sports Festival).
    • Tsuyu Asui (On-and-off friendship. Tsuyu is frequently seen together with Minoru, although she constantly punishes him for perverted behavior or insensitive comments. Tsuyu most often hits Minoru with her tongue).
    • Momo Yaoyorozu (Minoru is greatly attracted to Momo due to her attractiveness, womanly figure, and her Quirk requiring her to use her skin. As a result, she has been on the receiving end of many of Minoru's perverted ploys. In fact, out of all the girls in Class 1-A, Minoru seems to be by far the most attracted to her).
    • Kyouka Jirou (While the two don't interact much, Kyouka despises Minoru's perverted behavior, just as the other girls do. He is often the recipient of her chastising or punishment with her Quirk on a few occasions. On the other hand, Minoru doesn't seem to pay Kyouka as much attention as the other girls in class 1-A, which she takes offense to, as it is suggested that Minoru doesn't see her as attractive).
    • Mina Ashido (Minoru finds Mina to be attractive, with her being one of his many targets in the class. Like the rest of the girls in Class 1-A, Mina despises Minoru's perverted attitude towards them and was rightly annoyed when the boy attempted to peek on her and the others through a peephole in the girl's locker room. She was also irritated to find out he was actually smart, when he scored higher than her).
    • Menzou Shouji (Minoru admired Mezou for his octopus appearance and tall height, though he later apologized about comparing Mezou with an octopus when the same told Minoru about his past. They also teamed up for the cavalry battle along with Tsuyu Asui. They were shown to work well as a team despite not advancing to the next round. During the fight between Izuku and Shouto in the Sports Festival tournament event, Mezou prevents Minoru from being blown away). -Shouta Aizawa (Shouta is aware of Minoru's perverted personality, he even does not hesitate to describe him as the "embodiment of lust". Although Shouta does not do much to correct this attitude, he does not allow Minoru to cross certain lines of human decency, especially when it comes to peek on girls. Due to his attitude, Minoru is scared of his homeroom teacher when he stops him. For this reason, Shouta usually warns other people about Minoru’s attitude so that they take the necessary measures in this regard, or he generates an aura of intimidation to make sure that Minoru does not do anything perverted. However, there appears to be mutual respect since Minoru once helped Izuku and Tsuyu rescue Shouta from the Noumu in the U.S.J. Attack).
    • Midnight (Because of his lecherous tendencies, Minoru was greatly attracted to her beauty. He was seen fawning over when she and Mt. Lady were fighting on a televised interview. Minoru was forced to fight her in his First Term Final Exam along with Hanta. He was saved from her Quirk by Hanta though was envious, as she allowed Hanta to use her lap as a pillow. Midnight soon pursued him and took a sadistic joy in the act. However, Minoru admitted to being a fan of hers and knew about her Quirk from it. Using ingenious thinking, Minoru was not a victim to her Quirk and left her trapped as he dashed passed her and won the match. The Pro Hero was greatly impressed by his acts and complimented his strategy to best her).
    • Mt. Lady (Due to his lecherous and naughty personality, originally Minoru chooses Mt. Lady for an internship. Tsuyu immediately accused him of thinking something perverted when selecting her, although he denied it. Days later, when Denki asked Minoru about how his experience was with her, Minoru answered while quivering. Whatever he experienced under her gives him nothing but bad memories, and he tells Denki that all women are demons who hide their true personalities. That bad experience continues to affect him, and now hearing her name terrifies him. When Denki comments that she forms a team with Kamui Woods and Edgeshot, Minoru started shivering).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Minoru may not be the direct-combat type, but he does have an excellent handle on his Quirk, Pop Off. Minoru primarily uses his spheres as projectiles, binding opponents and their weapons to objects or themselves. Minoru can take advantage of the fact that his spheres bounce off his body to use them as small trampolines, allowing him to bypass obstacles on the ground. He also has impressive camaraderie, using his Pop Off spheres to bind opponents, enabling his allies to defeat them successfully, and vice versa. Shortly before the Provisional Hero License Exam, Minoru came up with a makeshift bead weapon composed of his Pop Off spheres, which aids him in defending against projectile attacks. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of The Lurkers (consisting of Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady), giving Minoru the opportunity to intern under the trio of powerful heroes and improve on close and efficient team maneuvers.
    • Keen Intellect: Despite his lewd personality, Minoru is quite intelligent, scoring 9th place in the midterms, displaying his skill in academics, something made more impressive by the fact he is never seen studying. Minoru is also very clever in battle, such as using his Pop Off Quirk to create effective traps for which his spheres are very suitable. Pop Off tends to be a relatively underestimated ability, which allows Minoru to surprise those who let their guard down. He can also employ unorthodox strategies, even ones befitting his perverted nature. At the U.A. Sports Festival, knowing how physically conditioned Momo Yaoyorozu is, Minoru used his Pop Off balls to latch onto her back so he could pass the Obstacle Race portion of the festival. During the Cavalry Battle, he teamed up with Mezou Shouji and Tsuyu Asui and devised an effective strategy that involved the two smaller students latching onto Mezo's back while shrouded by the latter's Dupli-Arms and, in tandem, Minoru traps his opponents with his Pop Off balls, while Tsuyu uses her tongue to take the other contestants' points.
    • Artistic Talent: Minoru has shown to be good at drawing. Alongside Manga Fukidashi, he served as the lead artist in a manga that featured a story about U.A.'s Hero course, with his skills only improving as he refined his character designs.

    Ultimate Moves:

    • Grape Rush (グレープラッシュ, Gurēpu Rasshu): Minoru rushes towards the enemy and throws many of his sticky objects at the enemy while running toward them, sticking the enemy in place and allowing Minoru to rush past them.
    • Super Grape Rush (スーパーグレープラッシュ, Sūpā Gurēpu Rasshu): From an elevated position, Minoru launches a large number of his sticky spheres to trap the enemy between objects.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Grape Buckler (グレープバックラー, Gurēpu Bakkurā): Minoru attaches a number of Pop Off Spheres to a shield, which he can use for defense while simultaneously trapping whatever hits the shield.
    • Vineyard (モギモギグレープ畑作戦, Mogimogigurēpu hata sakusen): Minoru performs this move by creating a vineyard with his Pop Off Spheres which acts as a snare.
    • Mineta Beads (ミネタビーズ, Mineta Bīzu): Minoru stacks multiple units of his balls and makes a long whip-like apparatus that can be used to restrain adversaries, block projectiles, or to stop falling.
    • Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta Bounce (グレープピンキーコンボ跳峰田, Gurēpu Pinkī Konbo - Hane Mineta): After Mina Ashido uses Acid Layback to spin on the spot and Minoru lays down multiple Pop Off Spheres on the ground and walls, Mina throws Minoru with great force so that he bounces from sphere to sphere. As he is flying through the air and bouncing off of each sphere, he can throw more Pop Off Spheres from his head onto his opponents while making it difficult to be hit back.

    • Cooperativeness: 4/6 (B).
    • Common Sense: 1/6 (E).

    Equipment:

    • Hero Costume: Minoru's hero costume was made with the purpose of letting him use his Quirk without his grapes sticking to it.
    • The Grape Face Mask (グレープフェイスマスク, Gurēpu Feisu Masuku): This equipment is a simple face mask that covers almost all of Minoru's face and leaves the top of his head exposed so that he can grab his grape-like hairs.
    • The Gloves that Pluck (モギモギグローブ, Mogi Mogi Gurōbu): This equipment was made using the special substance that exudes from Minoru's scalp, this was to prevent his grapes from sticking to them. However, this is only for the palms of the gloves.
    • The Grape Pants (グレープパンツ, Gurēpu Pantsu): This equipment was designed to have nubs that look like a pattern that were modeled after his grape-like hair and have almost the same stickiness as them. This was so that he could hold small objects on his person.
    • The Minoru Mantle (ミノルマント, Minoru Manto): This equipment was originally desired to flutter in the wind. However, the designers decided to make it shorter so that it wouldn't get stuck on his hair.

    Potential Future Equipment:

    • In addition to his costume, he can also add what appears to be a grape stem on his head as a part of his hero costume on the future. It can presumably be some kind of support item — or perhaps just for decoration.

    Trivia:

    • According to Minoru's Volume 2 profile: • Minoru's favorite things are girls. • Minoru was able to pass the U.A. Entrance Exam by binding the Villain Bots to walls or blocking their cannons with Pop Off were both viable strategies.
    • According to Minoru's Ultra Analysis profile: • His Mineta Beads were inspired by something the databook refuses to mention to its young audience. • His personality describes him as a "perverted straight shooter".
    • Minoru's surname contains the kanji for "summit" (峰, mine) and "rice field" (田, ta), and his first name contains "to bear fruit, great fertility, berry" (実, minoru). The kanji "峰 mine" is included in the word for "giant grapes", "巨峰 kyohō".
    • Minoru's known U.A. data is as follows: • Student No. 19 in Class 1-A. • Ranked 19th during Shota Aizawa's Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked 9th in Class 1-A's mid-term grades. • Ranked in the Top 42 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.
    • Minoru, Momo Yaoyorozu, Mina Ashido, and Tsuyu Asui all share the same costume designer.

    Full Name: Momo Yaoyorozu (八百万百, Yaoyorozu Momo). Nicknames: Yaomomo. Hero Name: Everything Hero: Creati (万物ヒーロー クリエイティ, Banbutsu Hīrō: Kurieiti). Occupation(s): Student of Class 1-A; Class Vice Representative; Hero-In-Training. Sex/Gender: Female. Age: 15. Birthday: September 23. Nationality/Birthplace: Japanese (Born in Aichi Prefecture, Japan). Blood Type: A. Seat in Class 1-A: 20. Fighting Style: Close + Support Combat. Current Status: Alive.

    Appearance: Momo is a fair-skinned girl with long black hair, generally tied into a spiky ponytail with a large strand hanging on the right side of her face. Her eyes have onyx irises and are big yet sharp, paired with short eyebrows set in a determined expression. She has a slender, curvy and mature body. She is 173 centimeters/5'8 feet tall.

    Clothing: At U.A, she wears the regular U.A. uniform for female students. It is topped with a gray dress jacket, two teal stripes, two pockets with folds, and two golden buttons. Underneath, she wears a white dress shirt, a red tie with a small, golden button, and a teal pleated skirt. She also wears brown dress shoes and knee-high socks.

    Hero costume: Her hero costume consists of a high-collared, sleeveless crimson leotard with silver lines at her waist and around her arms, which is open to expose her skin from her neck to just below her navel. She sports calf-length red boots with heels, which dip sharply down in the center, two gold utility belts around her waist, with the back holding her books on composition information, and another thinner one around the top of her chest, below her shoulders. The design choice allows her to create items from as many points in her body as possible, as her Quirk can only be used if her skin is exposed. During the winter, she wears a long, high-collared red cape over her costume with a ring around her neck and a large red gemstone at her throat.

    Personality/History: Momo is a very prudent, dedicated person who is a natural leader. She is levelheaded and calm in dangerous situations, but she isn't above falling into a panic. Momo is very kind, polite, and relatively reserved, yet she can be blunt with her comments about people's mistakes and miscalculations, tending to be very direct and wishing to help her peers improve enough to become great heroes, such as when she tutored her classmates at her home. Momo shows further development as a selfless hero who gets inspiration from others while also taking the role of a leader in her class, thanks to her skills and intelligence. Because of her wealthy upbringing, she has a sensible and respectful attitude toward others, often being discouraged by discourteous behavior. Momo typically takes adverse situations in stride, expressing little concern for losing most of her clothing in battle, as she knows how to construct another set and would have made her costume even more revealing were it not for restrictions on exposed skin in a costume. However, this often makes others think of her as an exhibitionist. Ironically, she is relatively innocent and sensitive to vulgarity and rude mannerisms, constantly frustrated by sexual advancements from Minoru Mineta and Katsuki Bakugou's crude attitude. This innocence shows that she has a somewhat casual, natural, and non-lewd view toward nudity, which explains her lack of modesty in her costume. While initially confident in herself, Momo's pride was crushed after her rapid loss to Fumikage Tokoyami at the U.A. Sports Festival and the comparisons she made between Shoto Todoroki and herself, starting to lose confidence in her ability to make quick choices on practical situations. It was further damaged during Uwabami's shallow internship, believing the heroine chose her despite being "an unworthy student" and tried to find more profound lessons to reassure herself. Thanks to Shouto's encouragement on their final exams, Momo regained confidence in her quick thinking, learning that people have different skills and can sometimes complement each other. Even when weakened and trapped by her opponents, she doesn't give up and shows an increase in her Quirk output, ultimately defeating her enemies. Momo becomes upbeat and eager when excited about spending time with her friends or helping them. She also tends to reveal how rich she is accidentally, yet most people understand she doesn't do this out of arrogance or malice. Despite her mature mannerisms, she occasionally finds herself roped into silly situations such as cheerleading, although she rarely expresses much enthusiasm. She's sometimes called "Yaomomo" as a nickname by her friends.

    Backstory: Momo Yaoyorozu was born into a rich family, and with a powerful Quirk. Due to the vast wealth of her family, she had access to various objects to study and practice within her home as a child, with the Russian matryoshka dolls being her favored tool for Quirk training.

    Quirk(s): Creation (創造, Sōzō) — Emitter-Type Quirk. Creation allows the user to materialize physical objects, such as weapons and tools, from any part of their body. This is achieved by the user transmuting the molecular structure of their fat cells. With the exception of living beings such as humans and animals, Momo can create pretty much whatever she wants, no matter how complex or advanced its structure may be. She only requires to understand the atomic configuration of said object in order to reproduce it: she first imagines the necessary parts, followed by the materials, then the assembling process and, finally, the coating. Momo's creations emerge from her body with a blue and pink glow and are otherwise no different from the regular objects they are based of, although she can customize the materials that form their composition, giving them whole new properties. Momo doesn't necessarily have to completely dispense a creation from her body either, having the choice to materialize only half or more of its functional structure, while the rest remains within her person. This is useful for situations where she has to quickly maneuver said creation or herself around, or if both her hands are currently occupied with some other task. Momo has the ability to create objects bigger than the surface area of her skin, allowing her, if she has enough lipids, to create objects far bigger than herself. She can also create items outside of her body as long as part of the creation is touching her body. Momo's body breaks down fat at a molecular level, which will then be reused as material for her to shape into objects with her Quirk. Because of this, a considerable ingestion of food is necessary for Creation to be effective. Since Momo needs time to create and use items, with larger and more complex ones taking longer to make, this puts her at a disadvantage against repeated attacks that force her to go on the defensive and give her no time to think or act. This is shown during the U.A. Sports Festival, where Fumikage Tokoyami attacked her with Dark Shadow and soon defeated her by forcing her out of the ring. The amount of objects that Momo can create depends both on the amount of lipids that she has in her body, as well as the size and complexity of the object she creates, spending more lipids the more difficult they are. Momo can end up weakened if she is low in fat deposits and overusing her Quirk can result in her becoming underweight and frail. In order to effectively create an object, Momo must have a deep understanding and knowledge of its atomic composition, which means she cannot create things she doesn't know how to create down to the atomic level. As part of her training, Momo consumed large amounts of food to increase her Quirk's efficacy and reduce the time needed to create objects.

    Relationships:

    • Class 1-A (As the vice class representative, Momo serves as one of Class 1-A's official leaders, second only to Tenya Iida. The class highly respects Momo for her intelligence and friendly demeanor, and are willing to follow her lead or provide her emotional support. Most of the class also tends to be overwhelmed by her rich background, but does not hold it against her).
    • Shouto Todoroki (Good friends who are similar in some ways. Momo and Shouto both are students who got into U.A. High School through official recommendations, and both have powerful Quirks. As a result, Momo initially compares herself to Shoto and believes that he's always a step ahead of her; not having self-confidence in herself. However, this also caused her to admire Shouto's brimming self-confidence as a hero, and considers him to be the most capable student in their class).
    • Kyouka Jirou (Best friends).
    • Denki Kaminari (Pretty good friends. Momo also helps Denki with his studies).
    • Minoru Mineta (Momo despises Minoru's perverted behavior towards her and her female classmates, and she often gets frustrated and saddened whenever she falls for his shenanigans. She was especially embarrassed during the U.A. Sports Festival when Minoru attached himself to her back using his Quirk in order to ride her through the Obstacle Race and finish on time, as well as when he and Denki tricked her and the girls into wearing cheerleader outfits. Momo sits behind Minoru in their class and is usually seen rebuking him with angered or disgusted looks when he goes on about perverted things. Despite this, she did show to be happy for him when he passed his Final Exam battle against Midnight, and they are shown getting on in some occasions).
    • Mina Ashido (Great Friends, often times seen together. Momo. Also helps with Mina's studies — the same way she does with Denki Kaminari, helping the two of them).
    • Tenya Iida (Friends).
    • Itsuka Kendou (Momo gets along with her, in spite of them being from different classrooms — Momo is from Class 1-A, Istuka is from Class 1-B. Itsuka and Momo intern together under Uwabami. Although they're treated like Uwabami's entourage during their time together, Momo always tries to find a lesson in everything. Itsuka appears to feel sorry for Momo, seeing that she's clearly in denial. Months later after their internship with Uwabami, she and Itsuka continued to be treated as a pair by fans. However, Itsuka didn't like being lumped in with Momo because she feels Momo has a better Quirk and better grades).
    • Uwabami (Momo trained under Uwabami for her internship, but was disheartened by the fact that they didn't do any hero work, instead being selected solely to be in a hair product commercial. Momo repeatedly tried to convince herself that there was something she could learn from the experience, but her internship with Uwabami ultimately proved to be a shallow experience and only worsened her doubts about herself).

    Abilities:

    • Overall Abilities: Being a recommended student, Momo possesses good combat skills. Her abilities earned her 1st place in the Quirk Apprehension Test, an impressive feat considering that almost all of her classmates had at least one superhuman result, which was cumulative of all eight tests. Momo held her own against Fumikage Tokoyami for a short period during the U.A. Sports Festival.
    • Bukijutsu: Momo can skillfully wield several weapons against her opponent for both offensive and defensive purposes, primarily bo staffs. Her bojutsu skill is quite remarkable, which allows her to knock out a large group of villains, as shown during the U.S.J. Incident.
    • Genius Intellect: Momo is ranked S-class in intelligence, meaning she can be considered a genius. Her analytical skills are vital, efficiently devising strategies and plans in battle and urgent situations, which she has no trouble putting in motion due to her Quirk's versatility. Academically speaking, Momo is highly efficient, having been ranked 1st place in the mid-terms of her class, and understanding the composition of anything she wishes to create using her Quirk. The latter is a complicated task for even the simplest materials. Regardless, Momo commonly uses the objects from her Quirk to provide auxiliary support for her allies and blindside her opponents, making her a very crafty individual and reliable comrade. She makes up for what she lacks in raw strength and destructive power with her ingenuity.
    • Teaching Ability: Momo is considered a perfect tutor by her peers, holding several study classes for other members of Class 1-A.
    • Musical Talent: Having undergone etiquette training during childhood, Momo can play the piano and other key-based instruments.

    Learnable Ultimate Moves:

    • Yaoyorozu's Lucky Bag (YAOYOROZU'S LUCKY BAG, Yaoyorozuzu Rakkī Baggu): Momo creates a large cannon, which can launch a bag full of items. These items can be anything that she can make with her Quirk.
    • Electromagnetic Rail Gun (電磁投射砲, Denji Tōsha-hō): Using her Creation Quirk, Momo summons a giant railgun, and Denki Kaminari uses his Electrification Quirk to power it, propelling a projectile to high speeds, shooting their opponent.

    Stats:

    • Power: 2/6 (D).
    • Speed: 3/6 (C).
    • Technique: 5/6 (A+).
    • Intelligence: 6/6 (S).
    • Cooperativeness: 6/6 (S).
    • Strategic Mind: 5/6 (A).

    Equipment:

    • Hero Outfit: Momo's hero outfit allows her to expose as much of her skin as possible so that she can use her creation Quirk much more easily.
    • The Yaoyoleotard (ヤオヨロ レオタード, Yaoyoro Reotādo): Her leotard makes it easier for Momo to create, as it leaves most of her skin exposed so she can pop out large items.
    • The Yaoyoro-Belt (ヤオヨロ ベルト, Yaoyoro Beruto): This equipment is a bit thick in order to prop up her "Yaoyorictionary".
    • The Yaoyorictionary (ヤオヨロ 辞典, Yaoyoro Jiten): This equipment is made of lexicon compiling all the constructs and materials that come up to Momo's mind. It also has magnets attached to the cover and inside pages so that it doesn't open or fall.

    Trivia:

    • According to Momo's Volume 2 profile: • Her favorite thing is reading, especially encyclopedias.
    • According to her Ultra Analysis profile: • After becoming friends with Kyouka, she became a fan of heavy metal music. • Her personality described her as an "occasional screwup".
    • Momo's known U.A. academic data is as follows: • Momo is student No. 20 of Class 1-A. • Ranked 1st in Quirk Apprehension Test. • Ranked 1st in Class 1-A's mid-term grades. • Ranked in the Top 16 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. • Momo received a total of 108 nominations from Pro Heroes for her U.A. Sports Festival performance, making her the 6th most nominated Class 1-A student.
    • Momo would have made her costume even more revealing were it not for restrictions on the amount of skin allowed to be shown in a costume.
    • Momo is (so far) the tallest female student in Class 1-A, measuring at 173 centimeters.
    • Momo, Minoru Mineta, Mina Ashido, and Tsuyu Asui all share the same costume designer.
    • Momo's favorite tea brand is Makaibari.
