Eight years after the Final War, Tenya has graduated from U.A. alongside his classmates, and is the current No. 13 Pro Hero,[5] alongside having become the new leader of Tensei's agency, Team Idaten.[4][6]

Eight years after the Final War, Tenya has grown taller and more muscular, along with wearing a different pair of glasses, and his shaved hair base now matches the color of his hair. His costume remains mostly the same, with parts of the armor being simplified a bit, and his helmet and mask having been modified to have two sets of iron braces around his neck and two horns sticking from the top; the helmet is also pointy at the front. This costume can be stored as a briefcase

Personality

Tenya reassures Izuku An example of Tenya's weird hand gestures. 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.

Hanta mocks Tenya's leadership Tenya's leadership being ridiculed. 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. This humilty became clear when Tenya admitted that seeking vengeance against Stain was not how a real hero should act. Shortly after the altercation with the Hero Killer, he left his damaged left hand unhealed, both as a reminder of his recklessness and a motivation to pursue true heroism. 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.

Episode 9 Tenya standing proud when talking about his family. Being part of the highly-esteemed Ida 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) 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 Ida Family.

Tenya punches Izuku Tenya punches Izuku, not wanting his friends to break the law and make the same mistake he did. 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, especially after learning his lesson during his encounter with Stain. Following Katsuki Bakugo's kidnapping, Tenya was the most outspoken against his friends' idea to set out and rescue him, demanding that Katsuki's rescue should be left to the Pro Heroes, not wanting his classmates to break the law or run the risk of injuring themselves. He showed up at night to stop them, not wanting them to make the same mistake he did, and even punching Izuku out of sheer rage for not taking his feelings into account. Despite all this though, Tenya relented, choosing to accompany his friends instead and ended up being vital in rescuing Katsuki from the League of Villains. Over time, Tenya has become less stringent with breaking the rules when he knows that said actions must be done for the greater good.

Tenya reminds Izuku of his words Tenya rushes to save Izuku, reminding him that Heroes are always there to lend a hand. Following his many experiences at U.A., Tenya has gradually mellowed from his initially strict nature, genuinely caring about his friends and always looking out for others, though his seriousness as class representative has remained intact, usually being the one to scold his classmates when they are being reckless or acting out of line. Out of all his classmates, Tenya has taken inspiration from Izuku the most, being greatly motivated by his kind and selfless nature. When Izuku went rogue from U.A., prompting his classmates to face him in order to bring him back to his senses, Tenya was the one to reach Izuku, taking his hand and repeating his friend's words that giving help that isn't asked for is the mark of a true Hero. During the Final War, Tenya once again plays a key role, being the one to get Shoto to the raging inferno caused by Dabi, helping Shoto stop his villainous older brother and also save the rest of his family and many innocent lives.

Tenya inherits Team Idaten from Tensei Tenya becomes a Hero alongside Tensei. Eight years after graduating from U.A., Tenya has become a high-ranking hero, displaying a more mature and humble nature. During his class' get-together to celebrate Shoto becoming the No. 2 Hero, he addressed his lower ranked classmates, saying that with all the changes made to the Hero Billboard Chart, their rankings aren't just numbers anymore and don't dictate their value as Heroes. Furthermore, after helping his fellow Heroes stop a runaway driver, Tenya interjects when Izuku and Katsuki start bickering over who made it to the culprit first, saying that it's not a race while also hoping that the driver didn't intend to cause any harm upon hearing him plead innocence. Tenya also starts making other contributions to society over rescue and fighting crime, most notably, he helps out with Ochaco Uraraka's Quirk Counselling expansion, touring elementary schools across Japan with her, Tsuyu, and Momo to provide helpful guidance to young children.

Tenya also achieves his dream of becoming a Hero alongside his brother Tensei, having inherited Team Idaten from his brother and with Tensei returning to heroism thanks to advancements in technology allowing him to walk again. Tenya and Tensei go on to run Team Idaten, with the two brothers being known for seeking and helping out lost children.

Abilities

Recipro Burst Tenya regains his conviction and better holds his own against the Hero Killer: Stain. Overall Abilities: Tenya has repeatedly shown that he is a highly formidable combatant. His skills earned him fourth place in the Quirk Apprehension Test, sixth place in the U.A. Entrance Exam, having the second-highest amount of villain points, and fourth place at the U.A. Sports Festival, although he qualified for third place if he had stayed for the closing ceremony. Thanks to his Quirk, Tenya has been revered as one of the fastest students in Class 1-A, and he uses his increased speed to supplement his fighting style, which involves powerful, high-speed kicks that can even crush metal. Using his incredible speed and quick reflexes, Tenya swiftly defeated Ibara Shiozaki, one of the most formidable students in Class 1-B, and nearly defeated Shoto, one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, but the latter blindsided Tenya by freezing his mufflers before encasing Tenya in ice. Shoto and Izuku, two of the most powerful students in their class, commented on Tenya's superior speed, even though Izuku has trained himself to keep pace with Tenya, while Shoto, on the other hand, cannot.

Ingenium vs. Mudman Tenya's enhanced fighting style leaves a trail of destruction. When facing the Hero Killer: Stain — a powerful A-Rank villain who bested many pro heroes, including Tenya's brother, Tensei — Tenya himself was fueled with an unadulterated sense of vengeance for his brother, which ultimately led to him almost being killed by the Hero Killer after Tenya had voluntarily hunted the assassin down. But after Izuku and Shoto arrived to help, Tenya discarded his desire for vengeance and was able to hold his own against Stain better while working alongside his two classmates. During the said bout, Tenya unlocked a new Ultimate Move, "Recipro Extend", with Shoto's help to help successfully immobilize Stain. Following his run-in with the Hero Killer, Tenya has been recognized as one of the stronger students of Class 1-A, as noted by Pixie-Bob.[7]

During the Joint Training Battle, Tenya, using the advice given to him by his older brother, was able to increase his speed to the point where he is much faster than Gran Torino, who is revered as one of fastest heroes in the world. With his new speed and augmented fighting style, Tenya drastically overwhelmed Juzo Honenuki, a recommended student, and forced him into retreat.

By the time of the Paranormal Liberation War, Tenya's abilities have further improved with a greater degree of control of his "Recipro Turbo". Soon after, Tenya, alongside Nejire Hado, Mirio Togata, and Katsuki, remarkably pushed back and stalled multiple Near High-End Nomu for an extended period, something that many other Pro Heroes struggled and failed to do, and overall emerged the Nomu bout with minor wounds. Tenya continued to train himself with the Pussycats after Izuku had gone rogue, and when Class 1-A arrived to subdue him, Tenya was able to use his greatly enhanced speed in conjunction with assistance from his classmates to catch up to Izuku and grab him.

In the Final War against the Villains, Tenya was chosen to back up Shoto in bringing down Dabi, a further testament to his skills. After Dabi was teleported to the Gunga Mountain, Tenya showcased the true capabilities of his speed, blasting him and Shoto through the skies to reach the destination. His speed has enhanced so immensely that he has clocked himself at the rate of Mach 3, allowing him to streak across the landscape from Kamino Ward to the Gunga Mountains in less than 10 minutes.

Keen Intellect: Tenya was ranked 2nd place in the mid-terms for Class 1-A, proving his tremendous academic prowess. He could discern that there were parameters of the U.A. Entrance Exam that he was unaware of. Tenya showed a sense of deductive skill while tracking the Hero Killer: Stain and managed to trace the patterns of his killing sprees. Having read news of the Hero Killer's crimes, Tenya saw that out of the seven places Stain had been, at least four Heroes were attacked in each, with Tensei being his first victim in Hosu, using this information to confirm that Stain would appear in the city again.

Tenya also has strategic and tactical abilities. When facing Stain, Tenya recalled how Shoto had frozen his mufflers during their battle at the U.A. Sports Festival and used it as a battle tactic to increase his speed even further to blindside Stain. When he was paired with Mashirao Ojiro to battle Power Loader in the Final Exams, Tenya came up with a strategy that involved carrying Mashirao on his back and using "Recipro Burst" to evade the traps Power Loader had set swiftly. When it seemed that the Pro Hero was about to defeat them, Tenya quickly thought of another plan, in which Mashirao wrapped his tail around Tenya's leg, and Tenya himself used "Recipro Extend" to fling Mashirao to the escape gate while the latter parried Power Loader's attack, quickly securing victory for the young heroes.

Leadership Skills: Tenya is a strong leader, as shown when he calms his panicked peers during an evacuation that turns into a stampede. Tenya became class president of Class 1-A after Izuku resigned and gave the position to him, believing him to be better suited for the job.

ADVERTISEMENT Quirk

Engine (エンジン, Enjin?): Tenya's Quirk gives him car-like engines in each of his calves, giving him incredible running speed and extreme kicking power. Tenya needs to fuel his engines by drinking orange juice.

Tenya drinks Orange Juice Tenya drinking orange juice to refuel his engines. Tenya's engines have multiple gears; it is currently unknown how many, but it has been implied that there are more than three. Much like a real engine, his Quirk requires that the exhaust pipes on the backs of his legs remain clear of obstructions to function correctly.

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.

Recipro Turbo Tenya's new Recipro Turbo. Sometime before the Joint Training Battle, his older brother Tensei told him about a secret family method regarding their Quirk, prompting Tenya to remove the mufflers from his legs to grow new ones to withstand his training. His Recipro now lasts for ten minutes, as opposed to ten seconds. However, Tenya becomes so fast that he cannot control himself, though he gradually gains better handling over his heightened speed.

ADVERTISEMENT Ultimate Moves

Engine Boost (エンジンブースト, Enjinbūsuto?): This move allows Tenya to accelerate his Quirk. Recipro Burst (レシプロバースト, Reshipuro Bāsuto?): This move allows Tenya to forcibly accelerate his Quirk, giving Tenya greatly enhanced speed for ten seconds at the cost of disabling his engines for a short period of time afterward. Even Shoto could not fully evade Recipro Burst and admits that he expected no less of its incredible speed.[8] Recipro Extend (レシプロエクステンド, Reshipuro Ekusutendo?): After Tenya manages to cool down the negative effects of Recipro Burst, he regains even more acceleration than before.[9] Recipro Turbo (レシプロターボ, Reshipuro Tābo?): After removing his mufflers and allowing new ones to grow in their place, Tenya is able to accelerate his Quirk and greatly enhance his speed for ten minutes. The speed this Ultimate Move grants is faster than Recipro Burst and Recipro Extend, surpassing even Jet.[10] Maximum Speed (全ぜん速そく力りょく, Zensoku Ryoku?): Tenya charges his Engines to the absolute maximum, then releases that charge, travelling at speeds that supercede even those of Recipro Turbo.[11]

Hero Costume: Tenya's hero costume is an armored suit that supposedly decreases wind resistance but is actually mostly for decoration. Contrary to its appearance, his armor is lightweight. After his costume was destroyed during Class 1-A's fight against Izuku Midoriya, Tenya's costume is remade by Mei Hatsume with several alterations, being a much sleeker and thinner design.

Ingenium Boots (インゲニフット, Ingeni-Futto?): The boots contain cooling devices and other mechanisms that augment the performance of his engines. As a result, his running distance is greatly extended. Later on, the shin armor would significantly change, being a much sleeker and thinner design, removing the golden pieces and faux engines, and thin bands of metal around his thighs. Ingenium Helmet (インゲニメット, Ingeni-Metto?): The helmet reduces wind resistance. Later on, his helmet would become sleeker and more detailed, with the top half able to retract into the lower half. Ingenium Muffler (インゲニマフラー, Ingeni-Mafurā?): The muffler is for decoration.
