  +
* '''Abusive Parents''': It's heavily implied Bai had an abusive father, or at least had an extremely strained relationship with him. Either way, she quickly moved out of her old home the first chance she got and never looked back.
  +
* '''Badass Boast''': ''"You have the courage to challenge me? I have to wonder why."''
  +
  +
* '''Blade Spam''': Chi Xiao - Shadowless has Bai Flash Step to nearby enemies and unleash 10 lightning-quick blade strikes, with the last hit also stunning them.
  +
* '''By-the-Book Cop''': One of her defining characteristics is her extreme strictness and adherence to rules, agreements and schedules. This is even lampshaded by other characters like Ibuki, who find Bai to be a hard person to talk to.
  +
* '''Catchphrase''': ''"I have other things to do."''
  +
* '''Draconic Humanoid''': Bai sports some horns and a tail, though why is unknown.
  +
* '''Fatal Flaw''': Stand-offishness and incapable to put her trust towards anyone that is equally, if more capable than her. Due to her strict and by-the-book nature, Bai is not an easy person to persuade and get along with. She refuses to cooperate together if there is something that involves Mustafu and LPF., and when it does, she'll do it nonetheless, albeit under her superior's orders.
  +
* '''Iaijutsu Practitioner''': What her second super move, "Chi Xiao - Unsheath" does. She even has to draw the blade back out of the scabbard if it didn't somehow kill everything in range.
  +
* '''Lack of Empathy''': She seems complete indifferent towards other people, unless it's her sister. Unlike her sister, she doesn't take any sadistic pleasure in hurting or killing people, but at the same time she shows little concern for other people's suffering.
  +
* '''Mean Boss''': Downplayed. Bai has very strict standards and isn't shy in voicing her displeasure at her underlings or colleagues.
  +
* '''Mythical Motifs''': Dragons, made obvious from her appearance. But to be specific, it's a Chinese dragon.
  +
* '''Named Weapon''': Her red-bladed sword is named "Chi Xiao".
  +
* '''Ornamental Weapon''': For a large part of the story, Bai doesn't unsheathe her Chi Xiao. Mechanically, it's due to the weapon being a Situational Sword that has some restrictions.
  +
* '''Our Dragons Are Different''': She's a Chinese dragon. As an example of writers doing their homework, she isn't allied to fire.
  +
* '''Power Crutch''': She needs a conduit to master her Quirk's power.
  +
* '''There Was a Door''': When she makes it back to her old family estate, she slices the door open. When Tsukiko is shocked about this, Bai simply jokes that she forgot the key.
  +
  +
==== [[Ibuki Owari]] ====
  +
[[File:Ibuki 2.png|left|thumb|293x293px]]
  +
A super athlete with a dynamic figure. Her ability is first rate, but she tends to quit anything that doesn’t pique her interest, making her a bit of a problem child. She has a remarkable talent for inventing her own moves, but tends to under-perform when she's in a bad mood. A brash and argumentative girl with a love of food and fighting, Ibuki isn't quite the sharpest thinker in the group.
  +
* '''Battle Aura''': One of her poses is accompanied by one of these.
  +
* '''Big Eater''': She loves food, maybe a bit ''too'' much.
  +
* '''Blood Knight''': She just can't say no to a fight.
  +
* '''Brilliant, but Lazy''': She hates hard work (she even states so) but is undoubtedly talented in what she does.
  +
* '''Charles Atlas Superpower''': She can scale buildings at speeds that would make Batman jealous.
  +
* '''Conditioned to Accept Horror''': Sort of. See Dark and Troubled Past below.
  +
* '''Cool Big Sis''': To her younger brothers and sisters, as she was responsible for them and did all kinds of unpleasant jobs for their sake.
  +
* '''Dark and Troubled Past''': Grew up in rough circumstances and had to deal with perverts throughout her life, such as being expected to work without wearing panties at her waitress job (though she seems rather oblivious to how perverted her admirers were). The reason she has such trouble remembering names is she saw people dying around her so often she didn't see much point in getting to know them better. Ibuki's family life wasn't any better either; she had 7 siblings and an unemployed father and had to constantly work part time to support them until she started doing gymnastics. She also states that who her mom or dad were tended to "change", along with an increase in the number of siblings. Take that as you will.
  +
* '''Dumb Muscle''': Physically, she's very strong and athletic. Mentally, though, she is a bit of a lightweight.
  +
* '''Hot-Blooded''': Very much so, especially when eating or fighting.
  +
* '''Huge Schoolgirl''': At 176 cm (5' 9") she is very tall for her age and nationality.
  +
* '''Idiot Savant''': Hopeless deduction skills, but considered a genius as a gymnast.
  +
* '''Indy Ploy''': Her preferred method of doing gymnastics is just to go out there and <em>make up a routine on the spot</em>. She is actually incredibly talented at coming up with innovative new moves, but the main reason she does this is because she hates the hard work and tedium that would come with composing and practicing a routine beforehand.
  +
* '''Innocent Fanservice Girl''': Treads the line between this and Shameless Fanservice Girl; she doesn't understand why most of the others think it's a bad idea for her to go swimming without a suit, nor does she ''care''. This extends to the attention she got from perverted admirers as well.
  +
* '''Irony''': While most gymnasts are small and petite, she is not.
  +
* '''Le Parkour''': Her Establishing Character Moment has her scaling the side of a building in about ten seconds.
  +
* '''Massive Numbered Siblings''': She reveals that she has 7 siblings and that she had to work hard to support them because her father was unemployed.
  +
* '''Mood-Swinger''': She can bounce between bored, to happy, to angry, and to happy again very quickly.
  +
* '''Mundane Luxury''': She thinks the lousiest room in the base is dream-like compared to her last home.
  +
* '''Ore Onna''': She refers to herself with the very masculine and informal "ore", a sign of the poor conditions she grew up in.
  +
* '''Overshadowed by Awesome''': She's really strong by any realistic standard, but she's mostly self taught, hates training, her job isn't strictly combative and it's noted she poorly incorporates gymnastics into her fighting style anyway. As a result she almost constantly finds herself in over her head.
  +
* '''Perpetual Poverty''': Her family lived in terrible living conditions and often had little food. Ibuki alone provided support for her family, working anywhere she could and sometimes even stealing.
  +
* '''Slasher Smile''': When she gets a Battle Aura as described above, she also has this kind of smile.
  +
* '''So Beautiful, It's a Curse''': Her figure has attracted plenty of unwanted attention from local perverts.
  +
* '''When All You Have Is a Hammer...''': Her first reaction to problems tends to be "Can I solve this by hitting it hard enough?"

This article Kisaki's Notebook is the property of LunariaAsmr and must not be edited without the creator's permission

This page, Kisaki's Notebook, is currently under construction. Please bear with the changes made by the author.

Kisaki's Notebook, as the name implies, is a notebook belonging to Kisaki Murasame, where she puts a lot of information in (her love for music, information on classmates, band mates etc.).

Information on herself

Kisaki Personality — Siren

"My name is Kisaki Murasame. Quirk: Musical Empathy. That's all you need to know about me. Oh, and my passion is music..."

  • Action Girl: She's shown brawling with people twice her height like it was a day job in a flashback.
  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: She has a crush on Katsuki despite his really bad attitude. When they are together he softens up a little bit.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: With odd syntax, and an oral feeling fixation, her mental state is far from normal when beyond just her PTSD.
  • Adaptational Attractiveness: While Kisaki is considered beautiful in both the anime and the manga, the anime emphasizes her attractiveness more.
  • Badass Adorable: She is considered a secret weapon and is shown to be physically stronger than most people her size. However, her child-like behavior and naiveness makes her a very endearing character.
  • Beauty = Goodness: Described as beautiful by other characters, and firmly on the heroic side.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Kisaki slept through the girls pillow fight, until some of the girls accidentally hit her. When she gets up, all of the girls, even the more calm and collected Kyoko and Rin have an Oh, Crap! look in their face, and when Kisaki throws the pillows, they seem to hit rather hard.
  • Big Brother Worship: In the eyes of Kisaki, Bakugo is the greatest person in the world.
    • Gets called on this several times by characters when it interferes with her normally rational thinking. Make no mistake, as awesome and useful as Bakugo is (though egotistical and arrogant), she can be almost fanatical about him to the point where it can cause major problems if someone doesn't snap her out of it.
    • In fact, Bakugo himself has called her out on this early in the series for caring more for him than the human race.
  • The Big Girl: Her sound based quirk is very destructive and hard hitting.
  • Blood Knight: She seems eager to fight someone that can match her.
  • Born Winner
    • Victory Is Boring: The unfortunate yet expected side-effect.
  • The Ace: Seems to be the strongest student, and as the standard-bearer of the school she is expected to uphold its ideal goals.
    • Broken Ace: However, an incident during her second year in Junior High made her think that her mere existence gives off a negative impression to the other students, and as such she rarely uses her quirk.
  • Brutal Honesty: She cares for her friends, but she doesn't hesitate to call them out if she thinks they're in the wrong.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Like Midoriya, she compiles journals about her love of music. So when the time came for Class 1-A to put on a show and she needed to help prepare the others with their instruments, her journals came in handy.
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: At one point she kicks down a wall.
  • Cry Cute: She's normally very calm and emotionless, so watching her cry is always a tender sight.
  • Dark Action Girl: Kisaki actually has some darker shades, too. She develops over the course of the series and obviously holds some strong morals dear to her, but as soon as Katsuki is in danger she is willing to slice up pretty much anyone, friend or foe without a second thought to protect him. While most others join U.A to actually fight for civilians, Kisaki couldn't care less if Katsuki hadn't joined.
  • Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Blood Knight. She is so strong that she is incredibly bored as no one can give her a challenge.
  • Dude Magnet: She's said to be popular with boys and gets a lot of love confessions often.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: One of her diary chapters reveals that she receives love letters from boys AND girls, and has her asking Rin for advice on how to deal with them.
  • Expressive Hair: Her cat-like hair twitches and perks up depending on her mood.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: At one point, according to Ono, she came to school wearing a thigh sock on one leg and a stocking on the other.
  • Fear of Thunder: Hearing the sound of thunder makes her cower in fright.
  • Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Has lots of them stored in her cabinet.
  • Hair Intakes: The two "cat ears" in her hair.
  • Heavy Sleeper: She even sleeps in the middle of her battle with Yuzuku!
  • Heroic BSoD: When she finds out that Katsuki is kidnapped, she acts cool about it, but Eijiro realizes she is not thinking calmly and uses up her gas. She more or less gives up on life, till she remembers Katsuki's words and decided to go and save him.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Ono.
  • Hidden Buxom: Based on her hero costume, it's clear she's not exactly flat-chested, but it's never made clear just how busty she is until she's seen in a bikini in the anime: she has larger breasts than every girl in the class barring Yaoyorozu, and being on par, if not more, than Ashido.
  • Idiot Hair: Has a rather big one, though she's far from an idiot.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: She joined U.A only because of Katsuki. She wanted to have a peaceful life.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Her legs are always given tons of attention.
    • Innocent Fanservice Girl: When she is given a dress to wear she immediately begins stripping down, right in front of a (very flustered) Katsuki.
  • Literal-Minded: Kisaki is baffled when Ono tells her she's "on fire", not understanding her metaphor.
  • Little Miss Badass: Kisaki is in her teens but possesses incredible fighting skills.
  • Lonely Rich Kid: Due to her family she had a lot of trouble making friends as a kid, and even now she becomes super excited about making friends and doing things with them.
  • Magic Music: As the hero Siren, her quirk often involve music a lot. Her attacks are based on music and sound. She usually uses attacks that are disco themed and can create disco-ball force-fields, distracting musical blasts, and virtual speakers which enclose around an enemy and immobilize them through incredibly loud bass music. Kisaki can also create walls and barriers of the musical scale and explosive musical notes. Sadly, her attacks are so destructive that she often doesn't use it in worry for what might happen.
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: Kisaki's quirk is connected not just with music but the actual power of sound waves and sonic pressure. She can manipulate other elements by creating sonic booms which cause rumbling and things to crash. She can also create sonic vibes and pulses which charge through the air like energy blasts.
  • No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: She is bored because she is so strong that she never faced any actual worthy foe.
  • Not So Stoic: Kisaki is generally stoic and unflappable, but anything related to Katsuki is guaranteed to make her lose her cool. Also sweets and thunder.
  • Oblivious to Love: Played for Drama in this case. She was never able to realize Katsuki was in love with her or comprehend her own feelings for him. Even when he gave her a love confession during Junior High, Kisaki didn't get it.
  • Ojou: Is from a rich family, lives in a mansion, and is being treated as such.
  • Phlebotinum Girl: A young woman with a doll-like beauty, and the focus of a romance? Check. Has a unique supernatural power which other people seek to obtain and exploit for their own purposes? Check. Repeatedly caught up in conflict against her will as a result of her supernatural nature, despite only wanting to be normal? Double check.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: A teenage girl who was shorter and smaller than everyone but easily smacked them around with no problem.
  • Rapunzel Hair: Her hair is nearly as tall as she is and almost sweeps the floor. Her hair is longer than any one else's in the series.
  • Reality Warper: She can practically do anything with her quirk.
  • Scars Are Forever: Has a scar from 10 years ago on the right side of her forehead. Also has multiple scars on her back from her second year of Junior High.
  • Shorty: Kisaki is noted for being quite short, being 155 cm, which is 5'0", and is even given the nickname "Shorty" by Katsuki Bakugo, though she doesn't seem to mind.
  • Sleep Cute: What she does with Ono, and later Katsuki. Cue Squeeing.
  • So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Invoked. Kisaki is very pretty (as a matter of fact, she's hands-down one of the prettiest girls in U.A.), but the boys that try to pursue her tend to base their angle on her looks (particularly her cuteness), overlook the deeper part of her personality and approach her due to her calm demeanor, so she defaults to turning every suitor down. She's still an item of admiration regardless.
  • Spoiled Sweet: As Ono puts it, "even though she's a rich girl, there's not a single egotistic bone in her body".
  • Stealth Master: On many occasions, Kisaki snuck into different situations, sometimes without being seen or heard. This is often played for comedic effect.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Kisaki is the spitting image of her mother when she was in high school, except for the fact that her mother's eyes were silver.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She rarely demonstrates emotions and seems to barely comprehend them. She does get emotive when it comes to Katsuki, who she greatly respects and appreciates.
  • Sweet Tooth: She is practically always seen with a lollipop in her mouth.
  • These Hands Have Killed: Becoming more in touch with her emotions allows Kisaki to break out of her Human Weapon conditioning and realize in retrospect just how much Battle Is Hell. The resulting Heroic BSoD from the innumerable lives she's taken, combined with seeing her quirk as hypocrisy, terrifies her so much in the anime that she contemplates suicide.
  • The Nicknamer: Has a habit of giving nicknames to certain characters: Ochan for Ono, Kacchan for Katsuki, Yuzu for Yuzuku, Erinacchi for Erina, Taru-Taru for Rei, etc.
  • Tragic Keepsake: The brooch Katsuki got her becomes this after her recovery. It reminds her of his eyes.
  • Tranquil Fury: Her face rarely shows the rage she feels.
  • Tsundere and Kuudere Pairing: Her "friendship" with Bakugo in a nutshell. Bakugo is, to put it lightly, a gigantic asshole, but Kisaki puts up with him, even using an Affectionate Nickname for him.
  • What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: During Junior High, Katsuki confesses his feelings to her, saying "I love you". Since Kisaki has No Social Skills, she didn't understand the meaning behind them.
  • When She Smiles: The first time that Kisaki honestly smiles, after spending most of the series up to that point as a borderline Emotionless Girl, it brings everything else going on in the room to a crashing halt as all of the guys stare at her in wonder. Ono even goes so far as to say they should make it an annual holiday.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: An impressive Grade A. When not in combat, she still shows truly staggering amounts of leg.

Karma Personality — Izunami Makoto (Karma)

  • Blood Knight: She is usually the first one who picks up in a fight, even when she hasn't agitated for it in the first place.
  • Cheshire Cat Grin: She's often seen wearing a wide, open-mouthed grin, especially when she's in the middle of ruining someone's day.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Justified by the nature of the series. Her real strength lies in her intelligence and traps.
  • Evil Redhead: At first. Has shades of a female Fiery Redhead afterward.

Elise Personality — Sayaka Ludenberg-Maizono (Elise)

Although she appears to be a spoiled child who loves to play, Elise is both innocent and surprisingly insightful.

  • All-Loving Heroine: Elise wants the best for everyone and has unlimited kindness and compassion towards everyone, regardless of if the person is a Hero or a Villain.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Elise really likes cute things.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Makes it clear that, while she sympathizes with others easily, she dislikes feeling as though someone let her win — especially if it's because they're either afraid she can't take losing or that they just shouldn't defeat a noble.
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita: Her outfit takes some inspiration from the look.
  • Genki Girl: Energetic and excitable, Elise is the fun-loving spirit of her family.

Information on Family

Current

Reine Murasame

Kisaki's mother. Known famously as the former No. 1 pro hero Phantom.

  • 100% Adoration Rating: She and her husband are implied to have this, or something very close to it.
  • Appropriated Appellation: As a child, her sister Mikoto nicknamed her "Dare-ne" because Reine, anxious about being shown up, would do whatever Mikoto dared her to do. After they go on an adventure together as adults, Mikoto starts using the term with respect and admiration.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: After years of torment and suffering, Reine finally achieves the peaceful life she always wanted. She's Happily Married to Asagi, and divides her time between raising her daughters and helping to foster peace between Heroes and Villains, all while no longer needing to feel alone in the world anymore.
  • Like Mother, Like Daughter: The series reveals that Kisaki inherited more from her mother than her looks; Kisaki's wanderlust and sense of adventure also comes from Reine, who traveled the world in her younger days. They both also had an amazing variety of hobbies, as shown in her portrait. And furthermore, their reaction to being unexpectedly confronted by a thief is to whack them on the head with a blunt object.
  • Made of Iron: You'd be surprised at what she can live through; Reine survived a carriage plummeting a hundred feet in snowy weather and comes out with no injuries, so that's high praise indeed.
  • Nice Girl: Reine is motherly, forgiving, and humble, and very fond of and supportive of her daughters.
  • Older Than She Looks: Reine looks really young for someone who's been more than 30 years old.
  • The Stoic: She rarely expresses emotion or energy, and most of her interactions are deadpan. Asagi even admits he had never seen her angry until a certain event took place.
  • Sweet Tooth: She puts mountains of sugar into her coffee (partly to stave off her drowsiness), and Asagi once bribed her with an offer of 10 limited edition cream puffs.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: She says this to Kisaki upon giving her her journal.

Asagi Murasame

Kisaki's father. A villain known as "Void".

  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Appears to be quite proud of Kisaki, and he spent his younger days trying to find and protect other people with a Dark and Troubled Past to "give them a place to belong to". He also values his personal squad.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • By his own admission, not even he was cruel enough to let some little kid starve to death.
  • Evil Is Hammy: While pursuing Kisaki, he behaves as though he were an adult playing hide-and-seek with a child — dramatically posing and shouting out a corny line about Kisaki being a bad guy.
  • Family Man: Though he may not look like it, Asagi deeply cares for his family, to the point of insanity to protect them. In fact, all of his actions as a villain currently have to do with a goal he has for his family.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: Very dashing in his younger days.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: Love for his family brings out the best and the worst in Asagi, the worst being recklessness and forsaking reason and other people for their safety. He imprisons Kisaki, lies to her about the gravity of the black spikes, and invades her privacy by reading her journal in the name of keeping her nearby and safe.
  • Not Afraid to Die: Flat out states he refuses to let natural causes be what ends his life.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: Great Lord implied Asagi's romance with Reine won't end well, since no one would approve of their relationship. This is later adverted when they get married, albeit having to partially elope, and have two children.
  • The Promise:
    • In his backstory, he vows to make Reine his wife after the latter falls into a coma.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: According to his grandfather.
  • Villainous Crush: Subverted, as he and Reine are married. It seems to be genuine Love at First Sight for him, as he only becomes softer and kinder when he's around her.
  • Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Do not even think of hurting a child in front of Asagi lest you have your face rearranged.
  • Worth Living For: Falling in love and protecting Reine slowly makes him realize that he does want to live after all.

Rin Murasame

Kisaki's younger sister, by a year.

  • Berserk Button: She didn't take well to Tenshi implying she was stupid. Padding jokes and Meiling slacking on the job are a good way to get on her bad side.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Rin is usually polite, elegant, and very calm. However, if you try her patience, she may do terrible things to you with her knives.
  • Death Dealer: When not using her cards to active her quirk, she throws them like shurikens.
  • Fortune Teller: Her quirk also gives her the ability to predict future events.
  • Time Master: Rin has numerous time related abilities at her disposal. For example, with her "Deflation World" special card, Rin pulls both the future and past versions of each knife she throws into the present, in effect forming lasers made out of knives.
  • Weak, but Skilled: Rin's fighting style tends to rely on technique, sleight of hand and large numbers of attacks over raw power.

Future

Ryoko

"I'm sooo bored..."

One of Kisaki's future daughters, whom she has with Katsuki Bakugo. Ryoko is quiet and shows up at unexpected places at unexpected times. She’s extremely clumsy, but never feels shame and rarely realizes when she's offended someone. Has the most flexible body.

  • Ambiguous Disorder: She has trouble expressing emotions, is easily distracted, often comes across as insensitive, and has trouble recognizing the emotions of others - all characteristics of Asperger Syndrome. That said, unlike most Asperger's sufferers, she also seems to have some sort of learning disability.
  • Badass Adorable: With a bubbly demeanor and several dorky quirks, Ryoko manages to be extremely adorable.
  • Brutal Honesty: She is described as a horribly tactless person.
  • Butt-Monkey: She's very clumsy and not particularly alert, which leads to plenty of misfortune, often involving falling into traps.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: She's constantly zoned out to the point of forgetting things mere moments after someone tells her, and one of her hobbies to purposefully get caught in hunting traps - some of which she even finds comfortable enough to treat as places to nap. Most attempts at insulting or even expressing worry for her also tend to glance off her or go straight over her head.
  • Energetic Girl: Ryoko can be this to most of the guys.
  • Fearless Fool: To a degree, as her very absentmindedness is one of the things that makes her so proficient in battle. Neither bothered with the opinions others may harbor of her nor intimidated by her opponents, Ryoko is able to engage in battle very well, focusing solely on sniping her foes with deadly precision.
  • Jerkass: Ryoko is this to Oniichi and Sora.
  • Loving Bully: Ryoko treats Oniichi rather roughly, in part because she has a crush and wants his attention however she can get it.
  • Motor Mouth: Ryoko has an infamous habit of spontaneous rambling.
  • Nice Girl: Ryoko is very friendly and easygoing and she rarely has a bad word to say about anyone.
  • Sarcasm-Blind: She is very dull witted and never understands when others are being sarcastic.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: She's so quiet that people rarely see her coming when she appears.
  • The Pollyanna: Ryoko doesn't have a care in the world, which she attributes to a lack of painful memories.
  • Trademark Hated Food: Veggies, according to Ryoko, though she says that she doesn't mind them now.
  • Verbal Tic: When she speaks, she tends to pause a lot.

Lucille

One of Kisaki's future daughters, whom she has with Katsuki Bakugo.

  • Adorkable: Lucille is good at fighting and... really not much else. She knows it, too, which means that she's constantly turning to her True Companions for assistance on how to become a better leader. The problem is that they're all some degree of Cloud Cuckoo Lander.
  • Badass Adorable: Lucille brings this trope to a whole new level in a series that was already packed with this particular type of badass. In the battlefield, she's tough as they come. Outside of it, though, she totally gets the "D'AAAW!" effect.
  • Future Badass: Who would have thought that adorable baby girl would grow into such a tough-as-nails badass?

Information on Class 1-A (U.A)

General

  • Doom Magnet: Class 1-A sure does run into a lot of villain-related disasters.
  • Kid Hero: For a looser definition of "kid", they're a bunch of teenagers attending a Superhero School. Despite training to become pro heroes, many of them still have the mentalities of children.
  • Nice Guy: All of them are relatively decent people, with even the worst ones being Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
  • Poster-Gallery Bedroom: After U.A. becomes a boarding school, the students are given their own rooms to decorate as they please, and almost each room is shown as a tip-off to their personalities.
  • Wacky Homeroom: They're certainly a colorful bunch. They've got the cocky delinquent, the goth, two straight-laced Class Representatives, a token pervert, the stereotypical boisterous Book Dumb students, etc. Not to mention some of them barely look human... and they've all got superpowers. No wonder they all provide the page image.
  • Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World: A class of teenagers training to one day become heroes and to save people, even establishing some heroic deeds before getting licences.
  • Walking Disaster Area: They started to gain a reputation for this after two direct villain attacks on them (the USJ exercise and the training camp), with the other classes blaming them for the beefed up security of the school because of it.

Katsuki Bakugo

"Katsuki Bakugo. Quirk: Explosion. He's got specialized sweat glands on his palms. They secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat that he can detonate at will. Although he can control the flow of sweat to an extent, his glands still retain their original function, meaning that he is explosively strong in the summer and a slow starter in the winter. The more he sweats, the stronger his quirk is. It's powerful, flashy ability with no big downsides. It's really cool!"

Katsuki Bakugo-1

Katsuki Bakugo, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

A crude, violent and arrogant boy whose delinquent-like attitude is more fitting of a villain than a hero. His powerful Quirk, "Explosion", which allows him to generate blasts from his hands, together with his prodigious athleticism, has led him to develop a severe superiority complex and relentlessly bully his Quirkless former friend, Izuku Midoriya. He believes that a true hero should be the strongest and always win, which is why he hates being helped by others. He has yet to come up with a hero name, as all his previous attempts sounded outright villainous.

  • Actually Pretty Funny: He, of all people, bursts out laughing when Camie uses her Quirk to imitate Todoroki.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Kisaki calls him "Kacchan." While Bakugo hasn't exactly endeared the nickname, he's never told Kisaki to not call him that.
  • All Drummers Are Animals: Naturally, the most violent and aggressive student in U.A. ends up being the drummer in Class 1-A's band during the U.A. Cultural Festival Arc. Even his reason for agreeing to take part is so he can "murder [1-A's detractors] with music!" This is something that made Kisaki smile slightly and say that she enjoys using music as a means to win battles, rather than fighting.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: Seems to check a lot of marks for Intermittent Explosive Disorder, which really does fit someone who uses actual explosions.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Subverted. His ambition to be the number one hero is actually treated as one of his few positive points, despite him being a huge jerk about it. He also refuses to go down the path of a villain, despite the fact that his Quirk would be very suited for it. That said, in Chapter 120, All Might says that his drive to be the best is holding him back from being a hero and that he needs to work on also having an equal drive for rescuing people.
  • Anger Is Not Enough: He is known for his incredibly versatile "Explosion" Quirk and his even more volatile temper. He's proven to be both powerful and skilled enough to face against villains and other opponents, but falters at nearly every other category due to his abrasive attitude. This is best illustrated in the entrance exam: he scored the highest amount of villain points (points earned from destroying attack robots), but scored absolutely zero rescue points (points scored from assisting other attendies and other acts of heroism). He's told repeatedly by various individuals from All Might to Best Jeanest that while he is incredibly talented, his Unstoppable Rage will make him fall short of becoming a hero. This is shown when he was one of the few students to fail the provisional hero license exam because the point of the exam was to rescue civilians and his temper only made the situation worse.
  • Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Wild blonde hair in the shape of an explosion. It fits his Quirk and attitude quite nicely.
  • Ax-Crazy: Shows shades of this often expressing a Slasher Smile in battle or when things get serious. Especially with his monstrosity of a temper that makes him prone to violent outburst that scare even some of the heroes. Also he blatantly shouts to everyone that he'll kill them. Yeah....not the most mentally stable student, but that's totally okay with Kisaki.
  • Badass Boast: Declares before everyone at the U.A. Sports Festival that he is going to be first. He makes good on it, although he feels he wasn't able to properly follow through because Kisaki was too shaken to fight him properly.
  • Big Fancy House: While the Bakugo residence isn't a mansion like the Murasame residence, it's still very large by Japanese standards, especially for a family of three.
  • Blood Knight: Bakugo is always ready for a good brawl, if not actively looking for one.
  • Born Winner: Subverted, but he sees himself as this. At the age of 4, he developed a very powerful combat-oriented Quirk, with everybody he ever met filling him with praise and admiration, added to the unknowingly negligent behavior of his parents towards these attitude problems, he quickly developed the mentality that he is simply better than everybody else. However, it only takes one day of exercise at U.A. to force him to face the reality that he is liable to lose to someone he looked down to his whole life and that there are several people who are even better than him. That said, it's still played straight in that multiple characters envy how absolutely ridiculous his Quirk is in terms of versatility and power. He's also one of the only characters in the entire series whose costume negates nearly all of the downsides of his ability.
  • Broken Ace: As a child, Bakugo was smart, strong, and brave even before he won the Superpower Lottery. The constant praise for this went to his head and gave him an Inferiority Superiority Complex, turning him into a massive Jerkass. Then he went to U.A., where no one feared him or held him in awe, and several other students were straight-up more powerful than him. His nasty personality, which people overlooked all his childhood, suddenly became a major stumbling block on his road to being a hero, and he continuously faced off against threats way above his level, handing him some brutal defeats.
  • The Bully: At the start of the story. He's growing out of it.
  • Catchphrase: He has a very scary habit of repeatedly telling people to "DIE!" when fighting them or "I'll kill you" whenever he felt insulted.
  • Catchphrase Insult: He likes to call Midoriya "Deku" to call him weak. However, it becomes an Insult Backfire when the latter realizes it can also mean "never giving up," leading to it becoming his hero name.
  • Character Tics:
    • He tends to stick his hands in his pockets and lumber around with an angry shuffle about him.
    • He hates wearing a tie. Bakugo instead keeps his dress shirt collar loose and unbuttoned (along with leaving his shirt tail untucked when his suit jacket is unbuttoned/off). The only time he was ever seen with one on was for his student ID photo, where he was expected to have one on. Compare/contrast that to Midoriya, who also has tie issues but at least tries to wear his.
    • Bakugo prefers to wear his pants all baggy, like a street thug.
    • Has a tendency to bare his teeth a lot as a sign of aggression.
  • The Comically Serious: He doesn't have much of a sense of humor, but he's just so dang... angry about everything that he manages to be hilarious anyway. At one point, his obsession with being number one along with his constant anger issues leads him to angrily shout at the bacteria in his mouth to die while brushing his teeth early in the morning, causing his mom to tell him to pipe down.
  • Completely Missing the Point: Midnight shot down his first hero name (translated as 'King of Explodo-Kills' or 'King Explosion Murder') because it was unheroic... so he changed the 'King' to 'Lord' and kept the 'murder' part. Unsurprisingly, that one gets shot down too.
  • Determinator: One of Bakugo's main traits and the main reason why Kisaki has looked up to the former since their childhood. He always tries to win no matter what, which was brought up during their fight against All Might.
  • Tsundere: He can pass a lie detector test saying that he likes Kisaki and unlike with other people he's very sweet and kind to her. Much to her surprise, he also thinks she's quite pretty, but he would never admit it normally. When Kisaki's mom calls him out on how much he tries to take care of Kisaki he basically just refuses to think about it.

Ono Kayoko — Tsunami

"I want to take my mother's name. She told me that she wanted to see people call me 'Tsunami' when she retires and I become a hero."

The daughter of two deceased Pro Heroes, Tsunami and Bone Breaker. After they died, Shota Aizawa, also known as Pro Hero Eraserhead, adopted her and has been her foster father since. He offered a recommendation but she declined, wanting to get into U.A. on her own. Her quirk, "Water Manipulation", allows her control water from her body which is her sweat (purified water), and water around her such as lakes, oceans, etc. She can freeze water and also break it if she likes. 

  • The Baby of the Bunch: She's officially the youngest member of Class 1-A, being 15 years old rather than 16 like the rest.
  • Boyish Short Hair: Has very short hair, befitting her tomboyish personality.
  • Childhood Friends: She's been close friends with Kisaki since they were little girls.
  • Declaration of Protection: To Kisaki.
  • Deceased Parents are the Best: Her parents died when she was only 4 years old due to them getting killed by a villain.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Kisaki.
  • Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: She's very devoted to Kisaki, to high Les Yay levels.
  • The Insomniac: Suffers from insomnia, and has possessed eye bags since the age of 6.

Emiko Todoroki

  • For Happiness: Her goal in life for everyone around her.
  • Fun Personified: She hums to herself, dances through the corridors like no-one's watching, and directs much of her energy towards making other people smile. Mostly because she considers their happiness much more important than her own.
  • Genki Girl: She's bright, she's cheerful, and she's happy to be in the same class as her brother! Even her Establishing Character Moment involves her running towards Shoto Todoroki waving her arms, oblivious to everyone else around her. It's actually a coping mechanism for her depression. If she made everyone else happy, how could she be unhappy?
  • Greater Need Than Mine: Deconstructed. As with many depressives in real life, she puts other people’s comfort before her own needs, to the point of insisting that the Shoto not worry about her. Shoto even points out that her unconditional selflessness is likely to get her hurt.
  • Heavy Sleeper: Emiko is often late to school because she sleeps in. It's because she's so depressed it's too hard for her to get out of bed in the morning.
  • Insecure Love Interest: Deconstructed. It's not just that Emiko doesn't think she's good enough for Shoto... she thinks she's not good enough for anyone to care about. Even people expressing concern for her or trying to be her friend, she feels that they're just "wasting" their time and energy on her. Shoto tries to tell her that this isn't true at all, but sadly, it doesn't take.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Suggested by Shoto more than once, both to himself and others, that Emiko probably isn't nearly as oblivious as she might seem and can actually be quite crafty as shown above at Guile Hero, and has total understanding of her actions, surroundings, and the feelings of other people. When you consider that a lot of her more clumsy and air headed moments are a result of her depression (or perhaps even an act for Shoto, whom she knows likes to look after her) and that she intentionally puts up a carefree, Genki Girl facade so that no one would know what was really going on in her head, he turns out to be.
  • Polar Opposite Twins: With Shoto. Shoto is responsible, intelligent, and well mannered while Emiko is childish (at first glance), a klutz, and hot-headed. However, it's Shoto who's more of a Jerkass while Emiko is ridiculously sweet.
  • The Ditz: She's often somewhat scatterbrained. This is treated as endearing and comical but is yet another clue about her depression, since depression often makes people forgetful.
  • The Pollyanna: She even tells herself to Think Happy Thoughts when things go wrong.
  • Sad Clown: Her Genki Girl behavior is a coping mechanism for her depression. She feels that if she made everyone laugh and be happy, she'd have no reason to be unhappy - or at least, they would have no reason to worry about her or see her as a burden.
  • Signature Laugh: It's written as "Ehehe~".
  • Stepford Smiler: Her Genki Girl appearance is actually an attempt to hide / deal with her depression.
  • When She Smiles: Shoto's heart melts whenever Emiko shows him a genuine happy smile.

Izuku Midoriya — Deku

Izuku Midoriya-1

Izuku Midoriya, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

One of the few people on the planet unlucky enough to be born Quirkless, he was relentlessly bullied growing up because of his lack of a Quirk. His name can also be pronounced "Deku", which is what his friends call him and what he eventually chooses as a hero name.

  • Action Hero: A hero in training to one day take All Might's place.
  • Aesop Amnesia: He has been told to not go overboard with his Quirk over and over. Despite this, Midoriya's standard move at the end of most arcs is to go overboard. In his defense, it's justified by the fact that he's often thrown into life-or-death situations where he has no choice but to go overboard.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: His status as one of the few Quirkless people in his class led to him being shunned and bullied, mostly by Bakugo. After inheriting One For All, however, this is no longer the case, and he's actually one of the most popular students in his class for his warmhearted personality and many badass moments, being voted class representative to his shock. It gets subverted even more after the U.A. Sports Festival, as people on the street and subway both recognize him and commend him for his hard work while encouraging him to succeed.
  • Alternate Character Reading: His hero name (and former nickname) "Deku" is an alternate reading of his first name "Izuku."
  • Animal Motifs: His costume's ears, his kick-based fighting style, his movement style in Full Cowl, and his Adorkable tendencies contribute to the image of a rabbit. Kisaki even calls him, in the Japanese version, "ウサギ", or "Usagi", literally meaning "Rabbit" in Japanese.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: One For All, initially. It allowed him to achieve some spectacular feats of strength, but at the cost of broken body parts. Part of the reason why was due to Midoriya's belief that One For All was a trump card, which caused his body to think of it the same way and was thus unable to adjust its power.
  • Boring, but Practical: One For All: Full Cowl doesn't have the explosive power of a 100% Smash, and only makes him slightly superhuman, but it gives him a dose of its power without destroying his limbs. Also, as he improves throughout the series, he's able to tap into more of its power, going from 5%, to 8%, to currently 20% of its power.
  • Born Unlucky: Literally. 80% of humans in the setting are born with a Quirk. He's one of the unlucky 20% who aren't.

Eijiro Kirishima — Red Riot

Eijiro Kirishima-1

Eijiro Kirishima, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

An eager, friendly young man obsessed with the concept of manliness and the hero Crimson Riot, whom he has modeled himself after to the point of taking a similar name. He is one of the few students who is on friendly terms with Bakugo. His Quirk, "Hardening", allows him to harden his body and get harder with every hit he takes; he has some self-esteem issues due to thinking it's not flashy enough for a hero.

  • Alliterative Name: His hero name, Red Riot.
  • Anime Hair: Styled to be so, since his natural hair is down. When spiked, his hair is made to even make it look like he has two little horns.
  • Ascended Extra: Slowly grows in importance and gets more screentime in the later arcs until he joins the main characters after the hideout raid.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: He uses that strategy occasionally, most visibly - and unsuccessfully - during the fight with Cementoss.
  • Becoming the Mask: His high school appearance persona is a conscious attempt to shed the person he used to be.
  • The Berserker: His main strategy is really just to attack anything in his way. Kirishima's main reason for this is because of his durable Quirk. This is justified when he turns "Unbreakable" as he can fight to his heart contents. However, he only can do it for a short amount of time.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: While he is one of the nicest characters in the series, he is powerful and does well during combat. In addition, he's certainly not a pushover and is not above getting angry at people who go too far.
  • Book Dumb: His grades aren't great and he spends most of his time working out instead of studying. That said, he's not exactly dumb in the field.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Kirishima is very Hot-Blooded and has a manly spirit that would make his idol proud.
  • Boring, but Practical: How he feels about his own Quirk. He acknowledges that it's useful, but also finds it generic and not flashy enough. He doesn't take it well when he meets another student whose Quirk is nearly identical to his own, with the exception that he can get harder with every hit. His special move reflects this. While others use flashy techniques or complex tricks, Kirishima's special move is to push his Quirk to its absolute limit to become even more Made of Iron than he usually is.
  • Break the Badass: After gaining an extra hard mode and even making a name for himself by saving some people, Kirishima is soon shown that he still has a long way to go when his new power is easily destroyed by a villain.
  • Brought to You by the Letter "S": His first costume had a belt with the letter "R" on it.
  • Color Character: Red Riot, which in turn is inspired by Crimson Riot, a retro hero that Kirishima admires.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Subverted. At first, it seems like he has natural red hair and red eyes. It's later revealed his hair is dyed red and is naturally black.
  • Fiery Redhead: One of the more Hot-Blooded students. It's actually red hair dye, which he started using after getting into U.A.

Mina Ashido — Pinky

Mina ashido

Mina Ashido, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

An emotional and excitable girl with a strange alien-like appearance. Her Quirk, "Acid", allows her to produce corrosive liquid through her skin. She can manipulate its level of solubility and viscosity, but excreting too much acid will eventually start to damage her own skin.

  • Acid Attack: Her Quirk. She can control the pH and viscosity of the fluid she secretes from her skin, meaning it can be highly acidic and thick or barely acidic and slippery.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: Her skin is bright pink as a result of acid buildup.
  • Apologetic Attacker: After beating Aoyama in the U.A. Sports Festival, she does an awkward apology pose.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Acid is not exactly the most heroic of powers. While it's not a problem when she has to face robots or destroy objects, she has to adjust herself against human enemies.
  • Black Eyes of Crazy: Subverted. Despite somewhat looking like a female Majin Buu, she's a nice, energetic heroine.
  • Book Dumb: Like Kaminari, she doesn't perform well in tests, despite having a highly versatile and useful Quirk and reaching the Top 8 of the U.A. Sports Festival. The databook gives her Intelligence as a simple 1/5.
  • Clothing Damage: According to her character file, she'll dissolve her clothes if she isn't careful using her Quirk.
  • Color Character: Pink as her appearance and hero name makes abundantly clear.
  • Cute Monster Girl: An attractive, humanoid... something.
  • Dumb Muscle: While physically strong and athletic, Ashido isn't the smartest out of her class, as she and Kaminari both fail their exam against Principal Nezu.
  • Fantastic Arousal: Her horns are apparently sensitive given her reaction to them being touched.
  • Genki Girl: Next to Hagakure, she's one of the liveliest girls, if not one of the liveliest students in general.
  • Green-Skinned Space Babe: Her motif. She is very alien in appearance and even attempts to name herself "Alien Queen", but she's still quite attractive.
  • Horned Humanoid: Has a small pair of horns. They are flexible and sensitive, making it unlikely they are made of bone. Horikoshi initially made them much bigger and curly like ram's horns, but he had too much difficulty drawing them on a regular basis.
  • Meaningful Name: Her surname sounds like "acid", referring to her Quirk.
  • Messy Hair: Not unlike Midoriya's.
  • Nice Girl: She's shown to be rather friendly. This is exemplified in Kirishima's backstory, where she uses non-aggressive means to resolve conflicts, like using breakdancing to get bullies to leave their victim alone, and giving a villain false directions when he was harassing her friends. The only people she's shown hostility towards are Bakugo and Monoma.
  • Nice Shoes: She has special shoes with her hero costume that allow her to secrete acid directly from her feet (presumably worn without socks) that she can glide around on. She was permitted to use them during the U.A. Sports Festival because they technically don't constitute a full costume.
  • Pink Means Feminine: A quite girly girl with pink as her theme color.
  • Required Secondary Powers: Her skin is resistant to her own acid, but using it consecutively can lead to it harming her.
  • She's Got Legs: In her character file, Horikoshi quips that her thighs are "healthy".
  • Shipper on Deck: This comes as a result of Ashido being fascinated by romance in general, leading her to love to see romance around her and support romance as a whole, rather than any particular pairing.
  • The Social Expert: Confident, principled, friendly, and a spirited conversationalist, Ashido was easily one of the most popular girls in her middle school.
  • Tears of Joy: Both times when she was confronted by an overwhelmingly dangerous villain in the past and was spared harm, she sobbed in relief.
  • Technicolor Eyes: Her eyes have black sclerae combined with pink irises. Horikoshi notes that they give off a very different impression before they're inked in.
  • Technicolor Toxin: Her stored acid turns her skin pigmentation purplish pink and tints her sclera black for some reason.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: She has pink hair.
  • You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!: This is Ashido's epic reaction in the training camp when Aizawa tells the remedial class that they'll have to study with him instead of taking the test of courage.

Tsuyu Asui — Froppy

"Tsuyu Asui. Quirk: Frog. Can do whatever a frog can, of course."

Tsuyu Asui-1

Tsuyu Asui, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

A young girl whose strange appearance is caused by her Quirk, "Frog", which allows her to do pretty much anything a frog can, including jump very long distances, swim with extreme agility and extend her tongue like a flexible steel cable. She is calm and level-headed even in the most stressful situations, and she tends to bluntly say whatever is on her mind.

  • The Ace: Recovery Girl describes her as "a stellar hero with no obvious weaknesses".
  • Animal Motifs: Froppy is froggy! Fittingly, her first friend was a snake girl.
  • Animal-Themed Superbeing: "Does whatever a frog can!"
  • Anime Hair: It appears to be tied in a bow.
  • Beneath the Mask: Tsuyu is calm and unwavering on the outside, but on the inside, she beats herself up real hard.
  • Chameleon Camouflage: The result of her training her Quirk is that Tsuyu can now camouflage herself much like certain species of frogs.
  • Character Tics: She has a habit of touching her chin in contemplation. She also can't seem to keep her tongue in her mouth, and has a habit of walking around bowlegged in a frog-like pose.
  • Cute Monster Girl: You wouldn't expect a human frog to be this adorable.
  • First-Name Basis: Insists people call her by her first name, Tsuyu, and add "chan" to it, and does the same for most of her female classmates. A bonus chapter showing her backstory implies she considers it a sign of friendship, due to it being what her first friend referred to her with. However, if she refuses to let someone call her by that name, it's a sign of hostility.
  • Friendless Background: Thanks to studying and having to look after her siblings, she didn't make any friends until the last year of middle school.
  • Graceful in Their Element: Being a Little Bit Beastly makes her stand out a little due to her frog-like characteristics, but she has excellent mobility in water.
  • Hair Color Dissonance: Her hair is either black, black with teal highlights, or teal entirely.
  • In a Single Bound: Being a frog, she can jump very high.
  • Kick Chick: Her signature attack is a flying kick with both legs, from various angles.
  • Last-Name Basis: Goes out of her way to try and defy this, telling her friends to call her Tsuyu-chan (which is especially informal and endearing) instead of Asui-san (the traditional honorific) even in the midst of battle.
  • Little Bit Beastly: Has a frog tongue as well as certain frog abilities like croaking and secreting poison. She also has elongated hands, feet, and digits as well as the limberness of a frog.

Information on Class 1-B (U.A)

General

U.A.'s other freshman hero class and rival to Class 1-A. Their homeroom teacher is Sekijiro Kan, the pro hero Vlad King.

  • A Day in the Limelight: The entire class gets one in the Joint Training Arc, which greatly fleshes out their personalities and powers.
  • Deliberate Under-Performance: This was their downfall in the U.A. Sports Festival. While Class 1-A gave it their all and fought to win, Class 1-B strove to stay in the middle of the pack, and avoid being everyone's target. However, as Aizawa pointed out, Class 1-A's drive to be the best is what pushes them to go beyond, as they're willing to take the necessary risks, which will in turn make them better heroes.
  • Friendly Rival: While Monoma takes the rivalry pretty seriously, the rest of the class gets along with Class 1-A, as the two have even been paired up for training on occasion.

Neito Monoma — Phantom Thief

A student from Class 1-B who is incredibly envious of Class 1-A's popularity, and obsessed with proving Class 1-B's superiority over them. His Quirk, "Copy", allows him to use the Quirk of anybody he touches for five minutes.

  • 0% Approval Rating: Downplayed. While his crazy obsession with the rivalry between Class 1-A tends to kill much hope of anyone in his class seeing him as remotely sane on the topic, Monoma's behavior is fairly average and, histrionic tendencies aside, his classmates in 1-B don't seem to mind him too much. Some even seem to respect him.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: It's pretty clear from Monoma's single-minded obsession with Class 1-A and his bouts of manic raving regarding them that there is something weird going on with him. Multiple members of Class 1-A have outright wondered aloud about what his problem is and if there is a name for the mental state he seems to have. It's later shown that outside of the confrontations with 1-A, he's fairly normal.
  • Anti-Hero: Monoma is aware that his Quirk isn't flashy or strong on its own, so to counteract this, he willing resorts to less than heroic behavior to gain an advantage, such as psychological warfare during his attempts at fighting Bakugo, and later, Midoriya:
    • Monoma: (talking to Shinso) In order to become heroes, we have no choice but to resort to un-hero-like conduct. Otherwise, we'll never match up to those powers that can do "anything and everything". We don't resemble those figures we aspired to be in the slightest.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: He's not a total slouch in close combat, and that's a nice suit he's wearing.

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu — Real Steel

A hot-headed student from Class 1-B whose Quirk, "Steel", allows him to turn his body into steel. He at first clashes with Kirishima due to their similar personalities and Quirks, but they eventually become close friends.

  • Achilles' Heel: He becomes weaker when he has an iron deficiency. In fact, lacking this is what netted Kirishima the win at the U.A. Sports Festival.
  • Chrome Champion: When using his Quirk his entire body becomes metallic.
  • A Day in the Limelight:
    • The U.A. Sports Festival Arc develops his rivalry with Kirishima.
    • During the Forest Training Camp Arc, he gets to defeat Mustard alongside Kendo.
    • During the Joint Training Arc where he goes toe to toe with one of Class 1-A's strongest students Shoto Todoroki- and gives him a serious run for his money.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: Becomes Kirishima's friend right after losing to him in an arm wrestling match:
    • Juzo Honenuki: Guess yesterday's nemesis is today's comrade.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: His entire existence is basically one big xerox of Kirishima, if not the prototype of Kirishima that Horikoshi elected not to use for Class 1-A and instead relegated to Class 1-B. His very name is just the word "tetsu" repeated in quadruplicate and paired in two names that are all comprised of four different meanings of the word "tetsu" in Japanese kanji.

Information on the General Department (Class C, D, and E) (U.A)

Hitoshi Shinso

A student from the General Education Department. His Quirk is "Brainwash", which allows him to control the minds of anyone who replies to him. He claims that the students of the Heroics Department are arrogant, though in truth he's jealous of them because he wanted to be a hero himself. Unfortunately for him, his Quirk was useless in U.A.'s entrance exams, making it impossible for him to get into the Hero Department. He was relegated to General Education instead, though he still looked for opportunities to prove he was Hero Department material. His performance at the U.A. Sports Festival eventually gave him the opportunity to apply for transfer into the hero course, and after an impressive performance during the Class 1-A and 1-B Joint Training Exercise, his wish was granted; he'll be joining the Hero Course in his second year.

  • Bad Powers, Good People: He wants to be a hero for the same reasons Midoriya does. It irritates him that everyone always treats his ability like a villainous power and act afraid of him because of it, despite his own determination to be a hero.
  • Blessed with Suck: His Quirk is actually pretty great, but because of the way the entrance exam was designed, he knew he was fated to become only a General Ed. student despite clearly wanting to get into Heroics. Not to mention the constant teasing his Quirk got for being considered more adequate for villains. Additionally, the fact that his Quirk only works on people that talk to him means that people that figure it out will just stop talking to him at all. Awesome for Heroics, terrible for day-to-day life.
  • Compelling Voice: His Quirk in a nutshell, but only if he can get his target to reply to something he said first and he can still be very selective with it.
  • Conditional Powers:
    • He can only manipulate the minds of people who verbally respond to him.
    • A fairly rough physical jolt will break his control.
    • He can't control people through things like phones or loudspeakers, as his voice is converted into electric signals and thus loses its mind-controlling properties. His "artificial vocal chords" mask is specifically designed in a way that changes his voice without de-powering it.
    • He can't make people talk (which is why he had to make Midoriya walk out of bounds, rather than say "I give up") or do other things that require using their cognitive functions (i.e. "write down the frog girl's name"- even if the person knows who Tsuyu Asui is, they can't make the connection while brainwashed).
    • He can't brainwash several people simultaneously, otherwise he'll possibly lose consciousness. He can control multiple people at once, as was shown during the U.A. Sports Festival Arc, but he has to brainwash them one by one, not all at once. This includes not being able to brainwash multiple people in the same body, which makes his Quirk ineffective against Kisaki.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: Even before he understands why, Hitoshi gets pissed when other guys hit on Rei.
  • Creepy Good: A mild case. He's got a somewhat disheveled appearance and a cynical, loner personality that doesn't inspire a ton of confidence. He's also got that paranoia-inducing mind control Quirk which has a ton of villainous potential, and he occasionally uses it as a prank. That said, he's firmly committed to using his power as a hero and insists that he'd never use it for malicious purposes.
  • Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Has these, though he's actually a driven, but misunderstood individual.

Kokoro Nishimura — Murasaki

"I am.......Murasaki."

A quirkless girl who got bullied a lot and was hated by Katsuki Bakugo. One day, she stood up to a villain and almost got killed but Izuku Midoriya saved her. He had accidentally passed on One For All to her due to his blood getting in her mouth. She found out she had this quirk when it activated and she saw purple light around her body.

  • Befriending the Enemy: She used to always be on bad terms with Katsuki. Soon, they became friends throughout the series.
  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: Her father died in a tragic incident when she was 3.
  • Meaningful Name: Her first name, Kokoro, means 'heart, mind, soul'. Her hero name, Murasaki, literally means 'purple'.
  • New Transfer Student: She attended Isami High School before going to U.A.
  • Scars Are Forever: She has a big scar on her collarbone due to Katsuki using his quirk on her.

The Big Three

Koharu Nozomi — White Girl

A Class 3-A student who is very kind and fights not for the cause of heroes, but for the safety of her family and friends.

  • Action Girl: Koharu is an incredibly skilled fighter and one hell of a trooper on the battlefield.
  • Badass Adorable: A very cute, sweet, nice girl who is able to kick asses as much as the rest of her friends.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She's a kind, caring, and sweet young woman who is a very skilled fighter, unafraid to fight someone who harms her friends.
  • Broken Bird: Though she hides it well.
  • The Chick: While sweet and feminine, she's quite the Action Girl.
  • Dangerously Short Skirt: Try to look further, and Kei will kick your ass. If he isn't around and you try it again, she'll kick your ass instead.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Somewhat subverted. She has a sweet personality, but she can and will mess you up if you threaten her or her friends.
  • Intangible Girl: Her quirk lets her phase through everything, including her clothes.
  • Kick Chick: She's practically this trope personified, due to her fighting style.
  • Lady of War: She's feminine and soft-spoken, and she's always graceful in battle.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Of the "hard-hitting speedster" variety.
  • Magic Skirt: Despite said fighting style, there hasn't been one single Panty Shot. That doesn't prevent her from being Ms. Fanservice though.
  • Nice Girl: Downplayed. She is a kind person, but only towards the people she's close to. She's painfully aware of it.
  • Power Perversion Potential: She can phase through solid objects, and until she learned to control her quirk fell through her clothing a few times.
  • Stepford Smiler: She hides a lot of bitterness behind her sweet and cheerful exterior.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Her favorite food is chocolate cake.
  • True Companions: Koharu's reason for fighting.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: She has green hair. It turns white when she uses her quirk.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: Koharu makes Grade B or Grade A easily.

Shota Aizawa — Eraserhead

Shota Aizawa-1

Shota Aizawa, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

Class 1-A's homeroom teacher. He's a bit of a Lazy Bum, but looks out for his students and pushes them to improve. Aizawa is also the pro hero Eraserhead. His Quirk, "Erasure", allows him to nullify others' control over their Quirks just by looking at them. Blinking dispels the effect of his Quirk and using it gives him very dry eyes. He's also Ono Kayoko adoptive father.

  • 24-Hour Armor: Downplayed. Aizawa often skulks around off-duty in his hero costume, minus his goggles, which he uses whenever he's in combat, and is rarely seen wearing anything else. When he's turned in for the night, though, he wears pajamas like any other normal person would.
  • Ascended Extra: Downplayed. While he's a main supporting character in the main series, he's a full-on main chracter in Vigilante: My Hero Academia Illegals, having multiple chapters focused on him and his past.
  • Airplane Arms: He runs like this while fighting.
  • Anti-Magic: His Quirk effectively nullifies one other person's Quirk, as long as it's an emitter or transformation Quirk.
  • Apathetic Teacher: Played with. He appears to be one at first. However, it's shown that he has very high standards for his students when it comes to heroism, and seriously pushes them in that regard. That said, he's still a Lazy Bum who falls into complete apathy when it comes to subjects he considers irrelevant, and on off days, he would rather curl up in a sleeping bag than put up with the Wacky Homeroom.

Youko Toujou — Rosethorn

"Youko Toujou, also known as Pro Hero Rosethorn. Quirk: Dollhouse Monarchy. Can turn anyone into her personal 'dolls' or 'puppet'. However, this quirk has a major side effect, which I won't disclose..."

A Mad Musician and Marionette Master notable for being very impatient. Her grandmother was Chiyo, who taught her how to master puppets in order to divert her attention away from her absent mother and, eventually, father (the former of which she killed herself, albeit without knowing). She developed a technique to convert living humans into puppets, thus creating puppets who could use quirks.

  • The Ageless: Due to being a puppet.
  • The Atoner: She seems to want to make up for living so long in ignorance and luxury while other people have been suffering.
  • Badass Boast: "Since I don't like waiting or making other people wait... I'll end this quickly."
  • Beast and Beauty: With Aizawa. Youko is very beautiful, which is pretty obvious, and Aizawa is not necessarily the most handsome man in the bunch. Yet, they still fall in love with each other.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: As a child, if she wanted something, her quirk meant she could just take it. Regardless of who the original owner was. She only learned how abusive she was being when she kidnapped a human because she fell in love with him.
  • Break the Cutie: Both of her parents are now dead and she watched her mother die. She's holding up quite well considering the events that happened, but she's definitely not the same anymore.
  • Cuteness Proximity: She weaponises cuteness to distract her enemies.
  • Dangerously Short Skirt: Her minidress is a curious fashion choice for a girl her age, but she's willing to fight in it all the same.
  • Death Glare: Has one that can stop pretty much anyone in their tracks. More than one character is left shivering in terror when on the end of it.
  • Extremity Extremist: She prefers to use her legs when she doesn't use any weapon.
  • Fiery Redhead: Anyone who's witnessed her Death Glare can vouch that she qualifies.
  • Flower Motifs: The Red Spider Lily, traditionally associated with Death and Abandonment or Loss.
  • Love Epiphany: She has one after Aizawa admits that his greatest happiness is her happiness.
    • Youko: Since when did Shota become so special to me?
  • Mad Musician: Believes that music lasts forever.
  • Missing Mom: Her mother was killed when she was a child.
  • Oblivious to Love: To Aizawa's good fortune, or maybe not. Eventually subverted when she realizes she's already been in love with him for some time. How long exactly? Even she's not sure.
  • One-Hit Kill: More or less everything she does or can do is this, as each of her puppets' weapons are soaked in her own custom-made poison that causes rapid paralysis followed by a slow and painful death.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Downplayed in that she isn't really evil, just really ruthless and terrifying.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Youko has a pretty filthy mouth, but usually for her enemies.
  • Spoiled Sweet: When she was still living at the Toujou Mansion, Youko was flighty and ignorant, but never cruel. There wasn't a single mean bone in her body, which was partly why everyone was willing to indulge her so much. After she left the mansion for the first time and saw the plights of people firsthand, she was genuinely ashamed of the "spoiled" part and worked to make up for it.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Instead of calling Aizawa annoying or arrogant, she opts instead to tell him he's "not cute".
  • Sympathetic Murderer: Subverted. Her first murder was in an accident as a child, though she didn't know that she killed her mother at first.
  • Tsundere: She's a Dere, but her initial Belligerent Sexual Tension with Aizawa was obvious and constant. Later their relationship softens, but Youko never really loses her tsundere tendencies and her and Aizawa still playfully bicker from time to time–most notable is her continued insistence that he's not cute.
  • The Woobie: In "Devil? Or Angel". She's a sensitive girl living in a broken home full of Stepford Smilers, she has has trouble finding love, she gets kidnapped, and by the end of the story she's insane (although she embraces her craziness).
  • Zerg Rush: Her trump card, Performance of 100 Puppets.

Soma Asuma

(TBA)

Information on Class 1-A Graduates (OWA)

Tsukiko Shinsato — Moon Goddess

Tsukiko Shinsato is a former student at One World Academy, a recurring character in Blue Ghost Tales, and a current pro hero.

  • Bad "Bad Acting": When she initially tries out acting (especially when attempting to smile naturally). Still, she could perfectly imitate her classmates.
  • Big Sister Instinct: Just about to all of her former classmates in OWA. Mostly to Koka and Hitori, though.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: Pretty much her defining character trait. She will do whatever she can to help those she cares for and those in need; no matter if she just met the person or how impossible the situation might seem.
  • Determinator: When she sets her mind to do something there is pretty much no stopping her and no way anyone is going to talk her out of it.
  • Ditzy Genius: There are times where while she's academically smart, she's not as street smart.
  • Friendless Background: Tsukiko starts off as one in school before meeting with Koka and Hitori, to the point that despite being on friendly terms with most of them, her phone contacts are comprised of just her parents. We get to see bits and pieces of her back story and why this is.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Due to her kind nature.
  • Nice Girl: Very soft-hearted, kind, caring, compassionate, helpful and forgiving.
  • Rapunzel Hair: Her hair goes past her hips.
  • Secretly Selfish: She claims her ambition for becoming a pro hero is to create a world where all are equal, whereas others are driven by personal interests. While her good intentions are true, turns out she does have a personal interest in becoming a pro hero; to get her parents approval.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Tsukiko is very pretty and whenever she does dress-up people around her tend to stare in awe; heroes and villains alike.
  • What Beautiful Eyes!: Her vivid eyes get remarked and commented on their beauty by other characters.
  • What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: She really doesn't know what love is because of her innocent personality and growing up in a society that ridiculed her her entire life.

Information on Class 1-A (BGH)

Kumiko Kamiya — Kami

  • The Ageless: Because of her quirk, she's temporally locked into her body, thus making her ageless as a result.
  • Alliterate Name: Kumiko Kamiya.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: She often comes across as aloof to her peers (a common experience for people on the autistic spectrum or with anxiety disorders) and apparently fluctuates between being too quiet or too chatty.
  • Badass Pacifist: For the majority, Kumiko doesn't exactly get physically involved in combating her enemies. Instead, she makes noble threats to her enemies, and mostly relies on her brains over brawn while resolving conflicts.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She's one of the kindest characters and a Time Master who can manipulate the actions of others in her favor.
  • Brainy Brunette: She's a brilliant student and logical thinker with brown hair.
  • Cool Loser: Kumiko sees herself as something like this. Subverted in the fact that, despite being more awkward and less extroverted than many of her peers, almost all of them hold a deep admiration for her because she doesn't seem to care what other people think of her.
  • The Cutie: She's a beautiful sweetheart and is both very lovable and pretty Adorkable in quirky ways.
  • Deadpan Snarker: It's mostly her internal thoughts that verge into this territory.
  • Dissonant Serenity: Kumiko is depicted as the eye of the storm, the calm center of destruction, and her serenity is so off that it's more terrifying than any fury.
  • It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: Kumiko remarks this about her post-powers life. While happy she can help those in need, she points out that her ability to manipulate time has made her life much, much more complicated, confusing, and dangerous than she ever imagined it'd be.
  • Mayfly–December Romance: Her relationship with both Uta and Akira in a nutshell.
  • Oblivious to Love: She didn't realize Akira was in love with her. Same thing with Uta. And just about everybody else.
  • The Quiet One: She starts off as this, but gets more assertive over time. Her friends in danger seems to bring out the assertiveness in her.
  • Ship Tease: She has considerable hints of mutual affection with Uta, who she warms up to and begins to show great concern for. She is willing to abandon her efforts at a normal life for him, and during their time apart she dreams up multiple scenarios of what she would say to him.
  • She's Got Legs: She has long, pretty legs and a lot of her clothing shows this off.
  • Sympathetic Murderer: Her first murder was in self defense as a child.
  • These Hands Have Killed: Kumiko has called herself a murderer that probably should die.
  • Time Master: Kumiko has the power to manipulate time, keeping herself static while time moves around her, etc. This allows her to effectively teleport, learn things then rewind and pretend to have known them already, and take objects then bring them back with her. However, the total time she can manipulate time is limited to a few minutes (by her own perception, anyway), with attempts to push that limit causing headaches and nosebleeds if she pushes too hard. Any more will cause her to slowly break, tear or cease to exist.
  • Trauma Conga Line: She firstly watches a bandit kill her childhood friend, and in the next she saw her other best friend commit suicide. Then she sees an alternate reality where her dad is alive... but her sister was paralyzed in an accident, and is very sickly. And then she is faced with the decision of putting her out of her misery, or watching her spend the rest of her days in pain and stressing out their family. Not that long after, she sees her mom get shot to death by a serial killer, and is kidnapped, drugged, tied up, and nearly killed by him. She later comes across multiple dead bodies and dying people when walking through a storm-ravaged city. Even in the present, she passes out at school and has multiple nightmares that all the people she is or was close to hate her, everybody assumes that she'll kill them, and her own alternate self tells her she'd done nothing good for those around her. And much, much more after...

Esprit D'âme

"..."

A hero student with a rather interesting backstory and an even more interesting quirk, Esprit is accompanied with a small, bullet sized companion named Data.

  • Absurd Cutting Power: Esprit's weapon of choice is a blade named Aspida, a simple blade with extremely powerful properties, namely it's ability to slice into things as if they were butter. Currently, the it has been shown that the blade can chop through most modern material.
  • Achilles Heel: Esprit is entirely unnwilling to commit murder, unless pushed to do so via eleophobia. After she does so and recovers, she is incapacitated, not because of strain, but because of self fear.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: She herself barely speaks.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Averted. Data outright tells Mizuka that Esprit is attracted to women.
  • Ax-Crazy: Downplayed. Esprit herself isn't a psychopath. Eleophobia (Lt.: Fear of Mercy. ), a state she attains through abusing her quirk, can invoke this trope. Esprit is very unforgiving while in this state and her weapons no longer cause clean cuts, but instead rip and tear.
  • Boring, but Practical: Esprit can knock people out quickly just by grabbing their souls. While not flashy, it's quick, and it's cheap.
  • Break The Cutie: At one point, HIkari's attacks ended up triggering an enhanced and more merciless version of her quirk labelled Eleophobia.
  • Covered in Gunge: Esprit's violence during her "Eleophobia State" can lead to a rather expensive cleanup.
  • Cute Mute: Esprit, like her mother, lacks the ability to speak entirely.
  • Kuudere: Esprit may be friendly, but she distances herself a lot. Leads to Tears of Joy below.
  • Laser Blade: A SWORD made out of SOUL ENERGY. Need I say more?
  • Nice Girl: Quite friendly, if distant.
  • Oddly Shaped Sword: Esprit's blades are mostly fantastical, yet reasonable, such as a spiked pommel, serrated edge, and at one point an odachi-like sword.
  • Tears of Joy: When she finds out there is a chance to bring her deceased mother back, she's absolutely sobbing at the prospect of that!
  • Technicolor Eyes: Esprit's quirk can also change her eye color when switching between different forms of vision. They also turn red whenever she's in Eleophobia.

Data

  • Ambiguous Disorder: Glitches HEAVILY at times, especially when stressed.
  • Ambiguously Related: Data and Esprit are connected. How? Data IS Esprit's truest self, unfiltered.
  • Ax-Crazy: When glitching, sometimes Data forgets to be merciful.
  • Bad Liar: Data can't make a convincing lie. He can only refuse to divulge information.
  • Blood Knight: Would commit casual murder.
  • Catchphrase: "Can I kill them now?"
  • Character Motif: Data is heavily Sci Fi. Even his NAME is technological!
  • Combat Pragmatist: Beats Jotan by giving him brain-damage in very specific parts to keep him down.
  • Creepy Good: He knows your search history.
  • Declaration of Protection: "I'll do anything to make Esprit happy."
  • Linked Senses: Anything that Data feels, Esprit feels.
  • Graceful In His Element: Data is better at strategizing, since his ability to forcibly read someone's mind and info on their quirk allows him to accommodate strategies that perfectly accentuate one's strengths, and hide one's flaws. However, even when forced onto the front lines, Data is STILL formidable.
  • Leitmotif: "Overclock"
  • Meaningful Name: Data is unable to forget, as you can't truly erase data.
  • Milk, Bread, Eggs, Squick: "Scalpels sharp enough to cleave diamonds, a tourniquet, a bottle of alcohol for the pain, and a jar of maggots."
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Compared to Esprit, Data won't hesitate to insult your entire bloodline if he doesn't like you. He can also be rather hammy at times, and is not above maiming someone if it means they stay out of his way.

Information on Class 1-B (BGH)

Akuma Aikyō

  • Afraid of Their Own Strength: Her quirk is so incredibly strong that she takes extreme measures to keep it in check, such as wearing a 24-Hour coat that suppresses her quirk and never speaking because her words alone can destroy anything and anyone even by accident.
  • Alliterate Name: Akuma Aikyō.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Shows some signs of this, mostly showing it via pouting since any expressions of anger will trigger her quirk.
  • Elective Mute: Her words are powerful enough to kill so she doesn't speak and communicates through written notes instead.
  • Emotion Suppression: Akuma can't allow herself to feel any emotion, because if she does her quirk will go out of control.
  • Power Limiter: She prevents her quirk running wild by wearing her coat, not speaking, and controlling her emotions.
  • Rei Ayanami Expy: White hair, pale skin, mysterious abilities and origins and a deeply quiet and stoic demeanor that makes her come across as emotionless, but still has a hidden caring side.
  • The Stoic: In order to keep her quirk from going haywire, she must be. Always. But...
  • Story-Breaker Power: She could easily defeat everybody introduced thus far. The only problem is that she is against violence and doesn't like to hurt people.
  • Superpower Russian Roulette: She can't control her powers by normal means.
  • Talking with Signs: She communicates entirely through a notepad.
  • 24-Hour Armor: Justified, as her coat acts as a Power Limiter and if she takes it off, her quirk will be a danger for everyone around her. For precaution, she never takes off the coat completely even when bathing.
  • Words Can Break My Bones: She never speaks because her very words can alter reality. She can even kill someone just by speaking the word "die". The only defense against her words is to be unable to hear them.

Labyrinth

Labyrinth and her friend and weapon, Daydream/Nisha. A cheerful yet mysterious girl who lived alone in the darkness of the Black Forest until she saw Hikari Kita in her dream and the voice that demanded she remain no longer did so. She emerged from the forest's center to see the outside world. With her teacher, Giannis Kesudenshi, she ventured out to attend Blue Ghost High, seeing the world outside the Black Forest for the first time and hopefully finding out more about who and ''what'' she is.

  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Anything new to her attracts her attention, and seeing as she's a very curious child who just got out of being isolated in a forest, "anything" can mean almost everything.
  • Badass Adorable: So far, all of Labyrinth's forms are powerful, yet adorable, with her Radiant form playing this straighter while her Eternity form leans more on Cute Bruiser.
  • Bully Hunter: She wants and will punish bad guys because they bully people.
  • Coat Cape: Her Eternity form has a coat that magically levitates behind her.
  • Companion Cube: Her magic mirror, Nisha. She was created out of Labyrinth's sadness after her first and (at the time) only friend died, and so feels sadness in her place. Nisha does not reflect anything besides Labyrinth and she changes forms depending on Labyrinth's own form.
  • Does Not Like Shoes: She is barefooted in her normal form as well as her Rusty form.
  • Flower Motifs: Her normal form has flowers all over her dress. Her later forms vary on the amount and types of floral motifs: her Eternity form mainly uses flower imagery on her clothes and super moves; her Radiant form and Nisha Labyrinth turn it Up to Eleven, with the former's hair looking like roses at some parts while the latter adds forestry elements from where she was found.
  • Foreign Exchange Student: In a sense, since she's from the Black Forest.
  • Frilly Upgrade: Starting from her Shining form.
  • Gag Boobs: As Kono.
  • Emotion Eater: In a sense. Nisha absorbs Labyrinth's negative emotions into herself, essentially "feeling" them for her. The energy of these negative emotions then manifest as shadow projectiles when Labyrinth uses her basic ranged attacks.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: Labyrinth is, mentally and physically, a very sheltered child and thus lacks a lot of knowledge about the world and interpersonal relationships. In addition, she's also missing memories regarding key events in her life. Regardless of these, she is very kindhearted, morally upright, and willing to help those who need help.
  • Literal Split Personality: Labyrinth and Nisha used to be a single being, but split into two separate beings because of Labyrinth's trauma regarding her rabbit friend. Both become aware of this as their story goes on, and how they address this issue is reflected in their different forms.
    • Split-Personality Team: Her Radiant form represents Labyrinth and Nisha's strengthening bond with each other.
  • Magical Girl: Aside from Flower Motifs, Labyrinth's forms also have this theme, with her Radiant form playing this the straightest.
    • Magical Girl Warrior: Her Eternity form fits this trope better.
    • Dark Magical Girl: Nisha Labyrinth has this aesthetic.
  • Master of Illusion: Both her Radiant form and Nisha Labyrinth, though their illusions are channeled from different aspects of emotion.
  • Megaton Punch: Her Sparky form's Kapow Punch is a strong punch that produces shockwaves.
  • Mega Twintails: In her Radiant form.
  • Modesty Shorts: She wears shorts under her dress in her normal form and in her Twinkle form.
  • Multicolour Hair: As Kono, her hair is pink with blue streaks inside.
  • My Name Is ???: She originally didn't have a name, and all she could say when Giannis asked her name was "I am me.". Giannis named her Labyrinth, after her place of origin, Nisha Labyrinth which lies deep within the Black Forest, and in turn she names her mirror Nisha.
  • Mysterious Waif: Her exact origins and even her true nature is yet to be discovered.
  • Non-Specifically Foreign: Subverted, as she's obviously not from Japan, though she and a few select people know where she's from.
  • Peek-a-Bangs: In her Rumble form and partially as her normal form and her Rusty form.
  • Palette Swap: A close inspection of Nisha Labyrinth's overall appearance shows that in most respects, she's a literal mirror image of normal Labyrinth, with different clothes and a dark blue color scheme replacing the pink.
  • Pimped-Out Dress: In her Shining form and her Radiant Form.
  • Really 700 Years Old: All but outright stated. It's not stated how long ago exactly she was in the Black Forest for, but it's implied to have been close to, if not more than a thousand years, which means Labyrinth may be more than a millennia old.
  • Scary Teeth: When her smile get big enough (which is often), her shark-like teeth become visible. The scary part is subverted though, as her sharp teeth are closer to being a row of Cute Little Fangs.
  • Shoryuken: Her Rumble form's Screw Punch is a spinning uppercut.
  • Third-Person Person: She wasn't at first, but when she gets the name "Labyrinth", she refers to herself in third person (calling herself 'Laby') and this is only retained in her Radiant form as her Eternity form and Nisha Labyrinth dropped this.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: When Irona asked her where she learned to fight, she claims she just moves her body. Irona notes that her fighting skills aren't refined, but they also aren't completely untrained and as she repeatedly notes, "Laby is strong and tough". In her Sparky form, she addresses this issue by using fighting techniques Giannis taught her and later, her own techniques.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: In her Shining form, and somewhat as Kono, depending on the outfit she chooses to wear.

Reisen Yuzuki Inaba — Lunatic Moon Rabbit/Black Rabbit

"The only reason you can't stand on your feet is your hesitation. I never hesitate."

Reisen Yuzuki Inaba is a student at Blue Ghost High. Being a Moon Rabbit, she is gifted with the madness-inducing eye, though it's later revealed that her eyes actually control waves in general, including mind waves and electromagnetic waves. It's later revealed that she is the famous singer Black Rabbit, who has never shown her face to the public.

  • Animal Motifs: Rabbits. Her hood has bunny ears on it. Plus, the "zuki" in her middle name means moon.
  • Animal-Eared Headband: More like Animal-eared Hoodie, but it's still there.
  • Badass Boast: "The moon can drive people mad. So can you really beat me, the rabbit whose eyes contain the moon's power?"
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Her power, aside from being able to manipulate waves, is to drive people insane with her eyes. She doesn't really do this, though; she's depicted as one of the most level-headed characters in all of Blue Ghost, and only uses this power in order to protect Esprit.
  • Cold Ham: She asks Esprit various personal questions ranging from her ethical decision-making to her blood-type, reading them all straight from an online friendship test in the same blank expression and deadpan monotone as when she is figuring out clues.
  • Confusion Fu: Fittingly for a character who induces insanity, her fighting style revolves around being unpredictable:
    • Her gimmick is bullets that do not behave as they initially appear. Bullets will seem to fly in all directions, only to fold into patterns that are manageable if her opponent didn't panic and try to dodge the initial pattern. Bullets will vanish, multiply and divide, slow to a crawl at the oddest times, etc.
  • Declaration of Protection: "It's alright, Espi. I promise, for as long as I live, I won't let a single person touch you."
  • Double Meaning: She is a Lunatic Rabbit. This can be taken to mean that she causes insanity, and it also fits her because of the fact that she is from the moon.
  • Fatal Flaw: She has no verbal filter; what she thinks is exactly what comes out.
  • Gamer Chick: The series' trope codifier. Highly proficient in gaming, both in console and in arcade games. When her mother threatens to ground her from her video games after failing her math test, her response was not to study harder for her makeup test, but to play as much as possible before she fails again and gets grounded.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: If she does that, you are fucked.
  • Invisibility: Sometimes she makes appearances by revealing herself to have been in the room, invisible, the whole time. It's part of her manipulation of waves; by keeping light waves from contacting her, she becomes invisible.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Reisen is blunt, taunts her opponents during a battle, and is even described as an "ice queen". However, she has shown to be quite hospitable and a Graceful Loser.
  • Leitmotif: "Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon."
  • Little Bit Beastly: She's a Moon Rabbit that looks mostly human save for her ears and tail.
  • Loners Are Freaks: Reisen tends to keep to herself when she doesn't have business in the human world.
  • Lunacy: In both senses of the word, she's from the Moon and can turn people insane with her powers.
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: Reisen's pistol resembles a megaphone, and she can scream into it to blast her opponents with sound waves.
  • Meaningful Rename: On the moon she was known simply as "Reisen"... or at least something that would be approximated in Japanese phonics as Reisen. When she moved to Earth she started spelling her name as 鈴仙 (pronounced Reisen) and added a surname, to better blend in. Translations sometimes spell her moon name as "Rei'sen" for clarity. Can be considered an inversion of sorts of Name From Another Species.
  • Mind Rape: The usual result of her powers. Her urban legend is the kunekune, a youkai with the ability to drive anyone who sees it up close insane.
  • No Social Skills: Due to being raised in a strict environment and having very little contact with peers her age. She is generally blunt to the point of brutal honesty, which would repel people that can't handle her strong personality. In fact, she relies on an app on how to make friends when with Esprit, asking her bizarre questions and following each of her statements with an awkward forced smile.
  • Only Sane Man:
    • Ironic since she's a master of Lunacy, but she's one of the most levelheaded people in Blue Ghost.
    • She's the least fight-happy out of all of Class 1-B and actually regularly attempts using reason, not that it actually works at preventing her from having to fight, since being a moon rabbit and deserter means that almost everyone has a reason to try fighting her.
  • Perpetual Frowner: She goes at everything with a deadpan expression and monotone delivery. When she smiles, it initially looks completely forced.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: When she's using her Lunatic powers her eyes turn red and will start glowing. This is also shared by her kunekune Urban Legend.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Reisen is even called "ice queen", but has shown to be polite and friendly underneath her icy exterior.
  • Telepathy:
    • Reisen can communicate psychically with other moon rabbits. Normally she doesn't, however.
    • She can also read people's brainwaves, giving her a rough idea of their personalities (or at least their pace in life), and can forcibly speed them up or slow them down to screw with their minds.
  • The Unsmile: Makes several of those while trying to bond with Esprit. Averted when she smiles sincerely.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Reisen is an odd case. When she's a secondary character she's sometimes shown with an inflated sense of self-worth, yet very little of this shows up in Inaba of the Moon & Inaba of the Earth (where she's an actual protagonist).
  • You Cannot Grasp the True Form: Some of her super moves work by using wavelengths that normal humans can't perceive.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Has purple hair.

Information on Faculty and Staff (BGH)

Giánnis Kesudenshi

  • Ambiguous Relationship: Giannis and Labyrinth’s interactions have a weird mildly romantic subtext. Were it not for Giannis not being interested in younger people and Labyrinth just being Labyrinth.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: Subverted. Giannis’ logic breaking allows him to perform unbelievable stunts... like use a trash can lid to protect Labyrinth against a stray.
  • Berserk Button: Giannis seems to be holding back most of the time. It’s implied he’ll decide to loosen the restraints by a meager 2% if something pisses him off... though what exactly isn’t known.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: This is a man who broke the sound barrier with a pretzel. On the other hand... this is a man who broke the sound barrier with a pretzel.
  • Declaration of Protection: “I protect the people I consider family. And you, Labyrinth... I will not let anyone hurt you.”
  • Questionable Relationship: Giannis is 32. Labyrinth looks like a minor, but is actually over a millennia old. If they got together... Whose the one that’s supposed to be arrested for supposed pedophilia?

Alexis Lapsusest — Fallen Angel

"But of I hadn't fallen, I wouldn't have met you."

Alexis is a villain who's part of Enigma. Foul-mouthed and arrogant, she hates just about everyone. Still, she's obsessed with her superior, Enigma, but dislikes Masaru. At least, at first...

  • Berserk Button: She easily takes offense if you belittle her abilities.
  • Best Her to Bed Her: She muses in the past that she scorned those who look for a knight in shining armor stronger than themselves rather than relying on their strength, but in the present she finds herself crushing hard on Enigma after he saves her.
  • Fallen Angel: Alexis is the Trope Codifier.
  • Fallen Hero: Also the Trope Codifier.
  • Hidden Buxom: Alexis is first portrayed as being flat chested, but then Enigma sees her in her underwear... let's just say he was surprised at the sight (totally not something else...)
  • Jerk With a Heart of Gold: She's a rude, disrespectful, vulgar, and generally repellent jackass on her very best days. Still, that doesn't stop her from being genuinely friendly to Enigma and the rest of her teammates, as well as some of her enemies (or even victims).
  • Laughing Mad: She often devolves into excited, maniacal laughter under the prospect of hurting someone or just fighting in general.
  • Nice Hat: It comes with peach decorations on each side, and has a secondary function of warning her of an enemies presence by having the leaves wilt.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: In regards to anyone, though most particularly Enigma.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has red eyes, and happens to be a formidable combatant who fights by using her enemies own energy against them.
  • Sadist: She is a power-hungry psychopath but she clearly likes making people suffer along the way. She also seems to enjoy making a mockery of other peoples' beliefs and values, for example by how much her horrific actions freak other people out, as well as manipulating others to fight and die for her; in addition, her stated reason for trying to start another war was "peace is boring".
  • Single-Target Sexuality: More 'Enigma-sexual' then anything else. Eventually somewhat subverted when she falls for Masaru.
  • Sore Loser: Most of the time she loses, she claims that she was holding back the whole time. Admittedly, it's kind of justified since her final battle indicates that for most of the battles she was holding back.
  • Yandere: To Enigma, admittedly. She is completely infatuated with him, and has been for some time, still she genuinely cares for him and wants to protect him, as a way to return the favor to what he did when they first met.

Information on The Bringers

Aithne Jackson — Miss Jackson

To most, she is an urban legend, but to anyone who has encountered her and lived to tell the tale, Miss Jackson is the world's deadliest and most elusive hitwoman, with a 100% hit rate and an unfaltering dedication to her work.

  • Breast Plate: Aithne wears plate mail that's practically molded to her breasts.
  • Cool Sword: She reveals that the sword she received a while back is actually a demonic sword that is an aggregation of all the swords her family has possessed to mirror that Aithne was a composition of all of her family's possibilities. The sword had been burning in the earth of a far away land, waiting for the return of the rightful wielder, and when she draws the sword it is engulfed in red and black flames.
  • Fiery Redhead: Combines this with Playing with Fire as well.
  • Hime Cut: Has Peek-a-Bangs as an extra.
  • Laughing Mad: Aithne sports quite the deranged laugh.
  • Playing with Fire: Her quirk, 'Hell-Fire', allows her to manipulate the flames of hell. She also kicks and breathes fire. Literally.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Played with. Aithne dresses in all black with her crimson hair on display, is more ruthless and serious than her usual wacky self, but compared to the other members of The Bringers she still comes off as a much nicer person.
  • Screw Yourself: Implied.
  • Token Good Teammate: Despite being part of The Bringers, Aithne is listed as Chaotic Neutral, not any of the Evil alignments.
  • Tragic Monster: While she is a psychopath at best and would go on a killing spree without hesitation if given free rein, it's not like she wanted to be what she is. At best, it is really only the fact she had her negative reputation coming, and even then the circumstances of her demise are no less tragic nor ironic for it.
  • World's Best Warrior: Among those who know she exists, Aithne is considered to be unquestionably the world's deadliest hitwoman.

Information on La Pace Famiglia

Acantha Lapsusest — Beautiful Scarlet Cloth/One-Eyed Queen

  • Animal Motifs: Oarfishes. The shape of her shawl and scarf resembles an oarfish's long, narrow body with red fins. She also has "antenna" on her Nice Hat that look like the spines on an oarfish.
  • Blood Knight: Was this in her youth and shows shades of this in the present, particularly enjoying throwing a bit of psychological warfare in the mix.
  • Blow You Away: Can use the wind to increase her speed and deflect attacks.
  • Glass Cannon: Thanks to her large hitbox and light weight she can be easily Comboed by enemies who manage to get in close. She can hit really hard, though.
  • Lady of War: The leader and founder of La Pace Famiglia and she fights with a freaking frilly scarf. It doesn't get any classier than that.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Though the specifics are not very clear, Acantha seems to shrug off physical harm rather casually, even surviving normally fatal attacks to the head.
  • Psycho Electric Eel: An oarfish instead of an eel, but the fact that an elongated eel-like fish specializes in Shock and Awe is unlikely to be a coincidence.
  • Scarf Of Asskicking: Literally, since she weaponizes it.
  • Shock and Awe: Has lightning powers.
  • This Is a Drill: Her scarf can turn into a drill for some attacks.
  • Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning: Her lightning is blue in color.

Pchelkina — Little Sweet Poison

"You must be happy. You can die surrounded by poison."

  • Break Them by Talking: She is a master of this, easily getting to the heart of her victims' insecurities and picking them apart.
  • Creepy Child: Seemingly, as Pchelkina has a small and child-like build.
  • Dark Action Girl: She rarely shows off her true strength, but is quite powerful and merciless when she does.
  • First-Name Basis: For a good while it was assumed that she had Only One Name, until it was plainly stated in dialogue her full name is Pchelkina Kesudenshi.
  • Giggling Villain: Pchelkina's distorted, child-like giggling is quite unnerving.
  • Master Poisoner: Mainly relies on flower-based toxins. This manifests as poison clouds that slow the opponent down, making her one of the worst characters to be against.
  • Older Than They Look: Her tiny frame, high voice, and childlike behavior make it easy to mistake Pchelkina for a child — something that seems intentional on her part. She's actually 21, and an incredibly beautiful young woman.
  • Power Incontinence: Can't really control her poisons, which makes her go all out even if she doesn't necessarily want to.
  • Softspoken Sadist: She's rather calm and cheerful, even while ripping people apart.

Vengeance

  • Abusive Parents: It's heavily implied Bai had an abusive father, or at least had an extremely strained relationship with him. Either way, she quickly moved out of her old home the first chance she got and never looked back.
  • Badass Boast: "You have the courage to challenge me? I have to wonder why."
  • Blade Spam: Chi Xiao - Shadowless has Bai Flash Step to nearby enemies and unleash 10 lightning-quick blade strikes, with the last hit also stunning them.
  • By-the-Book Cop: One of her defining characteristics is her extreme strictness and adherence to rules, agreements and schedules. This is even lampshaded by other characters like Ibuki, who find Bai to be a hard person to talk to.
  • Catchphrase: "I have other things to do."
  • Draconic Humanoid: Bai sports some horns and a tail, though why is unknown.
  • Fatal Flaw: Stand-offishness and incapable to put her trust towards anyone that is equally, if more capable than her. Due to her strict and by-the-book nature, Bai is not an easy person to persuade and get along with. She refuses to cooperate together if there is something that involves Mustafu and LPF., and when it does, she'll do it nonetheless, albeit under her superior's orders.
  • Iaijutsu Practitioner: What her second super move, "Chi Xiao - Unsheath" does. She even has to draw the blade back out of the scabbard if it didn't somehow kill everything in range.
  • Lack of Empathy: She seems complete indifferent towards other people, unless it's her sister. Unlike her sister, she doesn't take any sadistic pleasure in hurting or killing people, but at the same time she shows little concern for other people's suffering.
  • Mean Boss: Downplayed. Bai has very strict standards and isn't shy in voicing her displeasure at her underlings or colleagues.
  • Mythical Motifs: Dragons, made obvious from her appearance. But to be specific, it's a Chinese dragon.
  • Named Weapon: Her red-bladed sword is named "Chi Xiao".
  • Ornamental Weapon: For a large part of the story, Bai doesn't unsheathe her Chi Xiao. Mechanically, it's due to the weapon being a Situational Sword that has some restrictions.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: She's a Chinese dragon. As an example of writers doing their homework, she isn't allied to fire.
  • Power Crutch: She needs a conduit to master her Quirk's power.
  • There Was a Door: When she makes it back to her old family estate, she slices the door open. When Tsukiko is shocked about this, Bai simply jokes that she forgot the key.

Ibuki Owari

Ibuki 2

A super athlete with a dynamic figure. Her ability is first rate, but she tends to quit anything that doesn’t pique her interest, making her a bit of a problem child. She has a remarkable talent for inventing her own moves, but tends to under-perform when she's in a bad mood. A brash and argumentative girl with a love of food and fighting, Ibuki isn't quite the sharpest thinker in the group.

  • Battle Aura: One of her poses is accompanied by one of these.
  • Big Eater: She loves food, maybe a bit too much.
  • Blood Knight: She just can't say no to a fight.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: She hates hard work (she even states so) but is undoubtedly talented in what she does.
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: She can scale buildings at speeds that would make Batman jealous.
  • Conditioned to Accept Horror: Sort of. See Dark and Troubled Past below.
  • Cool Big Sis: To her younger brothers and sisters, as she was responsible for them and did all kinds of unpleasant jobs for their sake.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Grew up in rough circumstances and had to deal with perverts throughout her life, such as being expected to work without wearing panties at her waitress job (though she seems rather oblivious to how perverted her admirers were). The reason she has such trouble remembering names is she saw people dying around her so often she didn't see much point in getting to know them better. Ibuki's family life wasn't any better either; she had 7 siblings and an unemployed father and had to constantly work part time to support them until she started doing gymnastics. She also states that who her mom or dad were tended to "change", along with an increase in the number of siblings. Take that as you will.
  • Dumb Muscle: Physically, she's very strong and athletic. Mentally, though, she is a bit of a lightweight.
  • Hot-Blooded: Very much so, especially when eating or fighting.
  • Huge Schoolgirl: At 176 cm (5' 9") she is very tall for her age and nationality.
  • Idiot Savant: Hopeless deduction skills, but considered a genius as a gymnast.
  • Indy Ploy: Her preferred method of doing gymnastics is just to go out there and make up a routine on the spot. She is actually incredibly talented at coming up with innovative new moves, but the main reason she does this is because she hates the hard work and tedium that would come with composing and practicing a routine beforehand.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: Treads the line between this and Shameless Fanservice Girl; she doesn't understand why most of the others think it's a bad idea for her to go swimming without a suit, nor does she care. This extends to the attention she got from perverted admirers as well.
  • Irony: While most gymnasts are small and petite, she is not.
  • Le Parkour: Her Establishing Character Moment has her scaling the side of a building in about ten seconds.
  • Massive Numbered Siblings: She reveals that she has 7 siblings and that she had to work hard to support them because her father was unemployed.
  • Mood-Swinger: She can bounce between bored, to happy, to angry, and to happy again very quickly.
  • Mundane Luxury: She thinks the lousiest room in the base is dream-like compared to her last home.
  • Ore Onna: She refers to herself with the very masculine and informal "ore", a sign of the poor conditions she grew up in.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: She's really strong by any realistic standard, but she's mostly self taught, hates training, her job isn't strictly combative and it's noted she poorly incorporates gymnastics into her fighting style anyway. As a result she almost constantly finds herself in over her head.
  • Perpetual Poverty: Her family lived in terrible living conditions and often had little food. Ibuki alone provided support for her family, working anywhere she could and sometimes even stealing.
  • Slasher Smile: When she gets a Battle Aura as described above, she also has this kind of smile.
  • So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Her figure has attracted plenty of unwanted attention from local perverts.
  • When All You Have Is a Hammer...: Her first reaction to problems tends to be "Can I solve this by hitting it hard enough?"

Information on League of Villains

All For One — ??? Shigaraki

A mysterious unknown figure who is the founder of the League of Villains. He's only ever been shown talking from a computer monitor. It isn't until quite later that the man finally appears, revealed to be heavily disfigured and on life support.

  • Above Good and Evil: All For One's core philosophy is that concepts such as morals and justice are a hindrance that hold those with power back.
  • The Ageless: Is older than One for All, which has been passed down for nine heroes, yet it would seem he has not aged since. All Might speculates that he found and stole a Quirk that stops aging.
  • All Your Powers Combined: His Quirk combines this with Power Parasite and Super Empowering. He is able to steal Quirks from other people for himself, allowing him to combine several Quirks together for a single attack in order to amplify their effectiveness levels. He also can have multiples of the same Quirk in order to amplify their power.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: Aside from his psychopathic tendencies, All For One reveals that if a Quirk catches his attention, he can't wait to steal it. As a result, he hoards a lot of Quirks as a collection. Although he would like to return some Quirks to their owners, he wants to use them first. Pretty much indicates a case of kleptomania. From the flashbacks witnessed by Midoriya, All For One appears to have a severe case of megalomania as well.
  • Antagonist Abilities: The quirk "All For One" is an exceedingly powerful quirk that could be considered the ultimate nightmare in a society that values quirks and the identity it grants people, and with the story's emphasis on learning to be self-reliant and using one's powers for the good of society, it is only appropriate that the Greater-Scope Villain's main power would be to essentially steal the qualities that makes others unique to benefit himself.
  • Arch-Enemy: To All Might, being the murderer of his mentor, and the man who dealt him a crippling blow. More accurately, he is this to every user of One For All. His little brother, the first user of One For All used his new power to oppose All For One himself, although he was defeated. He even goes on to proclaim how much he hates All Might and admits that he still has nightmares about their last fight.
  • Attack Reflector: One of his Quirks is "Impact Recoil", which lets him reverse the impact of someone's attack. By combining this with his Warping Quirk, which lets him teleport people to his location, he can create impromptu Human Shields as Gran Torino learned the hard way.
  • Authority Equals Asskicking: All For One is the leader of the League of Villains. He can defeat several top-ranked professional heroes in just one second. All For One is also the most powerful character in the whole series, only rivaled by All Might and, though not shown, Kisaki Murasame.
    Warning: This Article Contains Spoilers Below this Point!
  • Plot Twist: It is eventually found out that All For One is actually the father of Asagi Murasame, making him Kisaki Murasame's Paternal Grandfather.
  • *Spoilers end here, for now*

Tomura Shigaraki — Tenko Shimura

The current leader of the League of Villains, who was groomed by the villain who crippled All Might, All For One, to be his successor and is the series main antagonist. His name is actually an alias and his true identity is tied with All Might's mentor Nana Shimura, as he is her grandson, Tenko Shimura.

His Quirk, "Decay", allows him to destroy anything he touches provided all five of his fingers are in contact with the object.

  • Abusive Parents: His father, Kotaro, would lock Tenko out of the house until he apologized and sometimes even beat him up whenever he mentioned anything about heroes. While his mother was sympathetic, she was too afraid to stand up to her husband until it was too late.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: A Downplayed example, in the manga color pages Shigaraki is shown with grey hair, whereas his anime appearance gives it a blueish-grey tint.
  • All Love is Unrequited: Tomura obviously has feelings for Shiro, doing everything he can to keep her as "innocent" as he sees her. This includes covering her eyes when she spies into the window of a love hotel, watching a couple making love, and even covering eyes to stop her from witnessing a bloody scene. This all ties up to his deep romantic attraction to her, despite their big age difference (being 6 years older than her) but he can't stop himself from feeling that way. He says it was basically like "love at first side" but than that simple "love" turned into a complete obsession. However, despite all of this, those feelings were not returned. Shiro said she does that not feel that way towards Tomura.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: His Character Tic of scratching himself when either nervous or upset can be interpreted as either some form of dealing with anxiety or a consequence of reigning in anger issues/murder impulses (if All For One is to be believed). Back when he was young, his family thought this was an allergic reaction instead, leading to the ambiguous part.
  • Not Good With Rejection: Shiro rejected him, and even mentions that their age difference has nothing to do with it. And plus, she doesn't not want to ruin the relationship she already has with him. He begins questioning about whether it was another guy, but Shiro simply denied that. He then got so angry at the thought of her loving someone else, he started to make assumptions. He started questioning about whether it was Ryuu, if she had feelings for him, but again she denied it, though Tomura did not believe Shiro. After this, he started to resent Ryuu, thinking that he stole Shiro away from him, and at one point even tried to kill him. And when he confessed to Tomura? Well, of course he got rejected and Tomura told him to "confess to Shiro and see what happens".

Dabi

Dabi-1

Dabi, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

A newer recruit of the League who joined to push Stain's ideals. He has Frankenstein-like features and a sewed face full of burnt skin. He prefers going by his Villain name. He has a fire-related Quirk and appears to be an arsonist. Dabi is also a serial killer, and for whatever reason, he seems to enjoy provoking the Todoroki family.

  • Aloof Ally: Dabi has his own reasons for working with the League and as such only seems to hang out with them on missions. While everyone else in the League has formed a sense of comradery with each other Dabi deliberately keeps a wall between them and treats the various members with either indifference or disdain. Dabi even opts out of the rematch with Gigantomachia and does his own thing separate from the League for a month and a half.
  • Ambiguously Related: Dabi has an uncanny relation to the Todoroki family. While genetic evidence extends only to his Fire Quirk and his eyes being the same color as the family patriarch, Endeavor, the circumstantial evidence is extensive; having an abusive father who is also a pro hero falls perfectly in line with his motivations, he is covered in mysterious burn scars, he deliberately avoids revealing his real name to people, even saying that it will be revealed "at the right time" as if it's somehow significant, and has been kept away from any situation where it might forcibly be revealed such as when the hideout got raided. Tying his appearance into the family is difficult as he is very disfigured, but flashbacks show that Endeavor's hair was virtually identical to Dabi's at his age. During the Camp Raid Arc, he gave Shoto a lengthened look and commented "Shoto Todoroki, how sad...", and a similarly significant-feeling encounter happened between him and Endeavor sometime later, ending with a promise that they'd meet again.
  • Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: His character is themed after Death, and what's left of the skin on his face look like the upper half of a skull. His powers also resemble Hellfire and cremation.
  • Authority Equals Asskicking: He was in charge of both the Vanguard Action Squad and the Nomus, so he is definitely this. When he told the squad to shut up, they shut up.
  • Awesome by Analysis: He has a knack for this, he’s good at seeing through people, and attacking them when they can’t retaliate.
  • Body Horror: At least 80% of his body appears to be charred or skinless. The rest looks like it's been stapled onto the burned bits. As he thinks back to the Last Words said by Snatch, the patches start bleeding as if they were Tears of Blood. Pushed further during his confrontation with Endeavor, as the stapled-together parts of his face start coming apart.
  • Badass Longcoat: Acquires one between joining the League and the attack on the training camp.
  • The Brute: The most violent and, arguably, powerful member outside of Sensei. Fittingly enough he's also powerful enough to take on Pro Heroes like Aizawa.
    • A variant, in that while he has a very powerful Quirk, he's (technically it was a clone of him made by Twice, but the real Dabi also makes a comment to that effect) not very strong physically and is rather easily subdued by Aizawa.
  • Cast from Hit Points: As Geten points out, Dabi can't continuously use his Quirk without running the risk of hurting himself. If he isn't careful, it can get to the point where actually starts burning the skin off his body.
  • Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Not so much shadows as darkened, rotten flesh. It gives off the same creepy effect, if not moreso.
  • Dragon with an Agenda: He outright tells Shigaraki that he's only out for himself, though Shigaraki is fine with this, since Dabi is one the most well preforming recruits.
  • Evil Duo: Subverted. He and Toga are introduced together as Loony Fans of Stain and are recruited at the same time, but they don't really act together. Though, this is definitely the case with Photo.
  • Elemental Eye Colors: Inverted. He has Icy Blue Eyes but his Quirk is fire-based.
  • Glasgow Grin: Piercings and burn marks visually separate his lower jaw from the rest of his face.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: His face, neck, and arms are covered in dark black-purple burn scars, possibly self inflicted.
  • Hidden Depths: Snatch's Last Words apparently resonated with him on some level, as he "thought so hard about it I (Dabi) went crazy".
  • Hero Killer: Follows in Stain's footsteps by killing the Pro-Hero Snatch during the League's attack on Chisaki's transport.
  • Hypocritical Humor: When he first sees Shigaraki, Dabi mentions how gross he looks. The bottom half of Dabi's face is charred and his face is full of piercings.
  • Jerkass: He's condescending and downright rude to practically everyone he interacts with. He makes no bones about the fact that he doesn't care about Shigaraki or his plans for the League, and his interactions with the other members, Spinner primarily, leave a lot to be desired. The only known exception to this is Kisaki.
  • Loony Fan: Like Toga, he appears to be a fan of Stain, vowing to finish what he started. Unlike Toga, he actually values Stain's views.
  • Meaningful Name: His alias literally means "Cremation".
  • Mysterious Past: His real name is unknown, as is the reason his body is so badly burnt.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: The story has conspicuously kept his real name a mystery. When he first meets Tomura he flat out refuses to reveal his real name. He was notably the only League member whose true identity wasn't revealed by Gran Torino during the heroes' raid on the bar.
  • Playing with Fire: His Quirk is fire-based, although his flames are blue, making them hotter than Todoroki's. How his flames compare to Endeavor’s is unknown, his usual fire is blue so he can use it more readily than him. On the other hand, he has to use it far less than Endeavor due to his weak constitution.
  • Required Secondary Powers: Averted. As seen by his extensive burn scars, he doesn't have any resistance to fire.
  • Sadist: He's a little less bloodthirsty than Muscular and Tomura as he is able to keep his murderous instincts in check most of the time. Yet every time he uses his Quirk, he has a sadistic smile on his face.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: When he realizes that he'll have to fight one of the strongest heroes in the country in order to kill Endeavour and Hawks (who are exhausted), Dabi wisely flees.
  • Serial Killer: Strongly implied to be one when the pro hero Snatch mentions a rash of crimes involving burnt corpses. Snatch himself is shortly after added to the body count.

Photo

A newer recruit of the league, a young girl whose body contains deadly flame which will burn anything she touches.

  • Apologetic Attacker: On several occasions she cries out apologies as she's knocking people unconscious.
  • Bizarre Human Biology: In addition to generating a deadly, highly corrosive flame just by existing, Photo does not have a heart. She also possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and healing capabilities, and does not need to eat to sustain herself.
  • Can't Have Sex, Ever: Photo's condition prevents her from skin-to-skin contact, which is naturally a barrier to physical romance. Dabi takes it in stride with little angst surrounding it, making a resolution to one day find a way to neutralize the flame. Photo herself is fairly innocent to the concept of sex, but does look forward towards being able to have physical contact.
  • Eating Optional: She doesn't need to eat, but enjoys the social aspects of sitting around a table with friends.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Since she's had very little experience in dealing with other people, at first she doesn't know any better than to trust random strangers who offer to help her.
  • I Am a Monster: Photo has plenty of reason to believe she is a monster, especially since her earliest memory is of someone (presumed to be her father) telling her so. Dealing with this belief, and gradually being coaxed out of it by the influence of her newfound friends and loved one, is one of the main themes of her story.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Photo's greatest wish is simply to be normal, to be able to live with other people and touch them without harming them with her flame touch.
  • The Ingenue: At the beginning of the series she is almost totally naive to the ways of the world due to spending nearly all of her life in isolation.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: She initially sees no problem with casually taking off her shirt to show people the crystal embedded in her chest.
  • Poisonous Person: The fire kind. Photo's body is highly corrosive, and contact with her bare skin will melt anything not specially treated with a serum developed from her blood. When a dog bites her in her introduction and succeeds in breaking the skin, her blood causes the animal's head to melt off. Being enclosed with her in a poorly-ventilated space for an extended period of time is also not good for one's health.
  • Reluctant Monster: She's never wanted to hurt anyone and is horrified by the effects of her flame touch on the people around her.
  • Walking Wasteland: Photo corrodes everything she touches and gives off small amounts of fire just by existing.
  • What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Photo's inexperience with the world makes it difficult to recognize what's happening when she's falling for Dabi.

Ryuu Nori — Mortuus

"I'm sleepy...You guys are way to motivated to kill this high-school student."

A 19-year-old villain who was taken care of by All For One most of his life. His quirk, "Ghost", allows him to do anything a ghost can do.

  • All Love Is Unrequited: It is clear that he has a crush on Dabi, his best friend. However, Dabi does not seem to feel that same way, coldly stating to him that "his (Dabi's) heart belongs to Photo".
  • Bad Liar: According to Shiro, one can always see it from a mile away if he's hiding something ("one" being Shiro).
  • Berserk Button: Just TRY to even TOUCH Shiro and you'll find your head ripped off from your shoulders. You don't even want to know what happens if you injure her.
  • Big Brother Instinct: To Shiro. He secretly sees Shiro as a little sister, so he refuses to let her kill herself or for anyone to hurt her.
  • Bonding Over Missing Parents: With Shiro. Both of their mothers died when they were born. Though Shino eventually comes back to life, she is proven to have been dead all along.
  • Character Tics: He always sticks out his tongue at someone when he's mad.
  • Coming-out Story: He came out as pansexual to the League of Villains.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: He has a glow in his eyes whenever he kills someone, which Shiro finds as "amusing".
  • Height Angst: Making fun of his short height repeatedly is a sore point for him.
  • The Insomniac: He rarely sleeps due to his insomnia.
  • Like Father, Like Son: When he reunited with his dad, he was afraid to tell him about being a villain, but later found out that his dad became a villain as well.
  • Messy Hair: His hair is really messy.
  • Not Good with Rejection: Ryuu secretly disliked Photo for a short period of time due to what Dabi said about his heart belonging to her. Ryuu soon accepted this but still had feelings for Dabi, which led Ryuu to self harm knowing he could never compete with Photo for Dabi's heart. It is only until Shiro snaps him out of it that he starts to stop, especially after Shiro slapped him, telling him she'll hate him forever if he does that. It was the first time Shiro has ever said she will "hate" him, so it obviously effected him. He starts to focus his attention to Shiro, which then started to turn into a minor "obsession" with her, wanting to make her smile more than anything else. It's good to know he's REALLY not good with rejection, because now... anyone that even touches Shiro is in big danger. And what happens when he tried to confess to Tomura? He got rejected again, and Tomura told him words he'll never forget. " confess to Shiro and see what happens." He did not understand his words until way later.
  • Power Defect: If he gets sucked into the unknown for being in ghost mode for too long, someone that he's close to has to say his name three times in order for him to get out. The person who does this the most of this is Shiro, mostly since they are like a "due", in a way.
  • Scars are Forever: Has a large scar on his right arm from trying to train with his quirk.
  • Serial Killer: So far, he was revealed to have killed 258 people, 69 of them being low-ranked heroes, 35 of them being high-ranked heroes, and the rest being civilians.
  • Unstoppable Rage: He nearly rips a hero apart after the latter injured Shiro.
  • Yandere: Subverted, as its only with Shiro and whether it's romantic or not is unknown. He is known to rip people to shreds whom seek to hurt or maim Shiro. Even if they touch her, be warned that he still shows no mercy. He also has an "obsession" with her, at first starting off as minor, but then escalating to proportions way above that. Ryuu has stated that that his wish, for the time being, is to make Shiro smile, and not a fake one, a real one. He even wanted to be funny in order to fulfill it. When that succeeded, he found himself in love with her smile, and thus his wish became to make Shiro smile. Every. Single. Day.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Says as much to Shiro.
  • You Are Not Alone: He tells this to Shiro many times.
  • You're Not My Father: The adoptive version. He was taken in by All For One when he was 5, but refused to be adopted by him for an unknown reason.

Shiro — Accelerator

A newer recruit of the league, a young 14-year-old girl who hates going outside or having to do anything at all (she'd rather spend her days napping or playing video games).

  • Achilles' Heel: Due to the nature of her Auto-Reflect ability, expertly timed pulled punches can get attracted to her instead of being reflected. Also, Shiro can't reflect something if she doesn't know the correct vector equations for it, which will reduce the effectiveness of her barrier anywhere from simply deflecting the attack instead of reflecting it completely to getting bypassed (objects which do not follow normal laws of physics, in which case she has to manually 'feel' and find out the correct vector calculations to redirect it). Finally, she can't redirect any attack which has no vector equation in the first place (i.e. scalar quantities).
  • A-Cup Angst: It's not apparent as most examples of this trope, but it's there.
  • Alternate Character Reading: Her villain name is spelled in kanji as "一方通行" (one-way road).
  • Ambiguous Disorder: Displays some potential signs of this. With symptoms ranging from dizzy spells and intense bouts of fear and anxiety that leave her curled up holding her head on the ground, to hallucinations of her father with his face scribbled out speaking to her. It's uncertain at this point what her actual condition might be, though PTSD and such are potentially on the table.
  • Ambiguously Bi: It is pretty obvious she likes boys, it is left ambiguous on if she only liked them. What keeps Shiro's sexuality ambiguous rather than a case of Bi the Way is that it's made clear at multiple points that Shiro's lack of social awareness and reliance on anime tropes to navigate real life situations cause her to assume that Les Yay in female friendships is not only common, but expected, leading her to enforce it. As Shiro matures and becomes explicitly more aware of the concept of homosexuality (she even correctly defines "LGBT"), she still can't help but fall for Shirome's charms.
  • Ambiguously Related: With both Shirome and Tomura, though it's more clear with the latter than the former. With Tomura, Shiro states that they are cousins, with her even using his real name, "Tenko", meaning she is related to the Shimura family. Now, with Shirome it's more subtle and barely there at all. At first, it could have just been that they were friends in the past, lost contact, and met up again years later. However, this was soon debunked and proven false when Shirome showed Shiro her memories. The long and short of it is that Shirome was Shiro's twin sister who died before she was born along with their mother, but for some strange reason, Shiro managed to live. So, it is made clear after that that they are sisters, but with Shirome's numerous protective advances towards Shiro (particularly in regards to Ryuu), it's made quite clear that Shirome's feelings for Shiro are way above Les Yay levels.
  • Antagonist Abilities: She has a passive Attack Reflector so effective that not even All For One, the leader of the league of villains, can touch her. Should she go on the offensive, she has a Touch of Death that blows up her opponent's heart by reversing their blood flow or their bioelectricity.
  • Attack Reflector: Her Redirection ability automatically reverses any oncoming vector she runs into. As a result, she's nigh-untouchable against the vast majority of attacks in the series. There are only a handful of ways to get around this, including pulling back one's fist as it approaches Shiro so that it will reverse the vector back into Shiro's face (which takes ungodly precise timing), using an attack that doesn't follow the normal laws of physics, or to negate it all together.
  • The Atoner: To her credit, Shiro has come to know the error of her ways and is trying to be a better person. Not that she's going to be particularly nice about it, though.
  • Awesome Mc CoolnameAccelerator, which also happens to mean One-Way Street in Japanese.
  • Awful Truth: How she feels about her past. "Some things you weren't meant to know. Some things... could kill you."
  • Bad Dreams: Shiro is sadly plagued by them, something which Ryuu finds out, due to hearing her cry in her sleep.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: As time goes on and Shiro finds herself on the receiving end of more Pet the Dog moments, she feels the need to repay the people who show her kindness even if she doesn't really know them.
  • Berserk Button: Never treat death casually around her. Fortunately for everyone nearby, it just gets her annoyed (like Himiko, who got a slap). You'd know if she got really angry (just ask Ryuu).
  • Blow You Away: One of her most common uses of her quirk as the series goes on. One time, she even boasts that the entire atmosphere is her weapon.
  • Bonding Over Missing Parents: With Ryuu. Both of their mothers died when they were born. Though Shino eventually comes back to life, she is proven to have been dead all along.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: She's… powerful, but seems to lack any kind of motivation whatsoever.
  • Chronic Villainy: She's never managed to break her bad habit of doing Jerkass things.
  • Cooldown Hug: She has these moments with Ryuu several times.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: At first, she appears as a lazy, snarky girl who doesn't care about anything. However, her quirk, Vector Manipulation, can essentially control anything that has magnitude and direction; as a result, things as small as bullets or as large as gravity and even light are automatically pushed away from her. Combined with her intellect and other abilities, and you have yourself a very dangerous individual. It's kinda sad she's normally too lazy to fight, thought...
  • Deadpan Snarker: With emphasis on "deadpan". She's quick to snark at Ryuu's antics, or anybody's antics in general, while keeping a perfectly blank face.
  • Death Glare: Gives a rather scary one.
  • Death Seeker: It is quite clear that she has depression, and is very, very suicidal. She tries to kill herself on more then one occasion, and considers herself "a villain beyond all redemption". However, her suicide attempts are all stopped by Ryuu, who doesn't want her to die. Shirome even says she does not want Shiro to die because she does not want to be the one to send her to hell, for it might break her cold facade. She starts becoming less suicidal as the series progresses, but no matter how much she tries to hide it, everyone can tell she's not comfortable in her own body.
  • Determinator: Despite the universe doing everything it can to make her give up.
  • Does Not Like Shoes: Doesn't wear shoes for reasons unknown. When she was asked by Ryuu to put on shoes, she did but took them off as soon as she got to her room.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!: She doesn't like it when others take pity on her, as she feels patronized by this.
  • Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: In addition to being very large and roughly-sketched, her eyes lack a notable sheen that's present in most other characters, illustrating her perpetually dour mood.
  • The Eeyore: She falls into bouts of self-loathing and has a lot of negative thoughts in social situations. Even when she acknowledges that her life got better than how it used to be, she doesn't expect good times to last.
  • Expressive Hair: You can often tell how exasperated she is just by seeing how much her hair is flaring out.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Quote the girl...
    • "They may all look the same to you, but there are different kinds and different levels of evil. A first-class villain doesn't target honest lives."
  • Flight: From manipulating air into mini-tornadoes behind her back.
  • Gamer Chick: Her hobby. Her favorite game is Nyillia, an online DMMORPG that has a virtual reality experience.
  • Good Is Not Nice: Shiro doesn't hold back her harsh attitude even to those she is sworn to protect.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Following her Heel–Face Turn, the most you could probably say about how much the way she deals with problems has changed is that a) they probably aren't all dead and b) she's become more concerned about dragging innocent people into the crossfire. It seems she still can't really wrap her head around the concept of "property damage" yet, though.
  • Gravity Master: Gravity is nothing but another vector.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: It's not hard to get Shiro into a bad mood, courtesy of a childhood of dealing with violence.
  • Hey, You!: In general, she is very bad at remembering names, or just doesn't care to learn them in the first place, leading her to often refer to the people around her by (often derisive) descriptors in her mind (i.e Red Hair for Ryuu, Buns for Himiko, Covered for Photo, etc.)
  • Hikikomori: A self-proclaimed one. Not that Ryuu ever lets her stay at home.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Instead of using her quirk to fight against heroes, she'd rather live a quiet, peaceful life.
  • Inner Monologue: Keeps her thoughts to herself more often than actually speaking.
  • In-Series Nickname: "Shi-Chan". Only Ryuu is allowed to call her that. Heaven forbid if anyone else does. Tsubaki calls her "Shiro-Sama".
  • Ironic Power: Her quirk, Vector Manipulation, essentially control anything that has magnitude and direction. Ironically, she hates moving, or doing anything. It does help her with playing games, however.
  • The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort: She eventually learns not to rely on her quirk so much to avoid hits.
  • Light Is Not Good: Shiro has white hair (technically silver), is a bishoujo, and even can sport an almost angelic appearance. She's also enormously lazy and is easily angered.
  • Likes Older Men: She certainly doesn't mind the idea of marrying someone almost twice her age.
  • Little Miss Badass: Shiro is only 152 cm (5'0") tall, but she is more than capable of kicking ass.
  • Logical Weakness: She's Story-Breaker Power incarnate, but like all humans she still needs to breathe. Should the available oxygen around her somehow be taken away (like say, an explosion consuming it all, or a vacuum suddenly being forced into existence around her), her vectors won't make air where there's none and she'll suffocate, at least when she is not in an "awakened" state.
  • Messy Hair: Her long hair is rarely combed.
  • Missing Mom: Her mother died when she was born, through childbirth.
  • Mundane Utility: Among other things, she can redirect annoying background noise away from her so it doesn't bother her.
  • Name Amnesia: Shiro mentioned that he once had a surname, but she forgot it.
  • Older Than They Look: She's 14 when the manga and anime begin, but she's so short, thin, and physically undeveloped that you'd be forgiven if you thought she was 10. Even Kai mistakes her for an elementary school kid when they first meet!
  • One-Woman Army: Even without her quirk, she can use her marksmanship to take out an entire group of heroes. With her quirk, she is practically untouchable.
  • Photographic Memory: After looking at a massive page of computer code, she comments that memorizing it is easy. It may only be for what she sees.
  • Powers Do the Fighting: Shiro's quirk is passively on reflect, causing enemies to defeat themselves even when Shiro is unconscious of the attack.
  • Punny Name: Shiro's villain name in kanji means "one-way street", referring to her personality.
    • "I'm sorry, from here on the path is only a "one-way street". You can't advance, just hide your tail and cry your way to home."
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner
    • "Now then. I'll teach you one thing about the aesthetics you lack... This is what a truly first-class villain is, fool."
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has them naturally thanks to her albinism, but when she goes full-on berserk from seeing a hero stab Ryuu, her entire eye turns red as she goes on a rampage.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: She's prone to insulting people a lot.
  • Sleepyhead: Shiro is a napper so much that she can sleep wherever. Even while being carried by Ryuu.
  • Stepford Snarker: A mild example. She hides her true feelings behind her usual lazy, snarky, don't-care-about-nothing facade.
  • Story-Breaker Power: She's immune to any attack based in normal physics. Further, her quirk lets her fly, use super-speed and super-strength as well as basically anything else she can think of like control the wind. She's even a genius, so few people can even match her intellectually. Even with a Drama-Preserving Handicap of only being able to use her powers for fifteen minutes (later upgraded to thirty) a day, there is still almost nothing that can provide a meaningful challenge to her that isn't as broken as her or designed specifically to counter her quirk, even more so when she "awakens" her supernatural black wings, which bypasses her handicap and grants her even more power at the cost of her consciousness (a deficiency that she overcomes later, after she awakens her white wings). As a result she gets less and less fights over time, and whenever she does, she is usually pitted against entities much stronger than her. It's best to say they regretted it the moment they said it...
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She usually acts like she doesn't care about anything and anyone, but there are rare moments when she reveals that she does care and simply has trouble showing it. It then becomes clear Shiro is actually a very sweet girl.
  • Super Loser: Downplayed - she can be cool and badass when she gets serious. It's just that most of the time she acts more like a perpetually tired, lazy teen than anything else.
  • Superpower Lottery: Her Redirection powers is one of the first among many, many examples this series has.
  • Sweet Tooth: If her love of cookies and cream ice cream and overly sweet soft drinks is of any indication. She's mostly got a weakness for junk food though.
  • Tears of Blood: The first time she cries.
  • Tempting Fate: After their first meeting she told Ryuu that they'd never get along. No points for guessing how that went.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Ramen and potato chips.
  • Tranquil Fury: Lapses into this when she's mad. Which is when you should probably get the hell out of Dodge.
  • True Companions: With Ryuu. They don't always act like it, but they're this.
  • Tsundere: Oh Shiro, just admit that you care about your friends, it's glaringly obvious anyway.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Pictures from her childhood often show her smiling, something that she rarely does anymore. Apparently she only became the grumpy Tsundere she is after some stuff happened. She got attacked by some bullies and accidentally broke their bones...and then she accidentally broke the bones of the teacher who tried to stop it...and then other adults...and then the police came to the scene...and by the end of it she was surrounded by unmanned attack helicopters and heroes like some sort of monster and scared out of her 10-year-old mind.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Ryuu. She hates to admit it, but she cares about him a lot.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Her hair is silver.

Shirome Gushikuma — Hell Girl

"I don’t know what you’re trying to protect, nor do I know what you have been hurt by. But, if you want to protect that child then do so with your chest held high! Here and now, be proud in knowing that you are protecting her! This is your life right? Then decide for yourself! If you want to protect everything with your hands then do so, if you want to abandon everything then do so. But, what do you yourself want to do right now? Can you really be satisfied giving someone else that you don’t really understand your most important thing?" —To Ryuu Nori, about Shiro

A newer recruit of the league, it is her duty to offer a devil's deal of vengeance to any who access the Hell Correspondence.

  • Ambiguously Related: With Shiro. They look very much alike, which many members of the league notice at first glance. Their personalities even match up; both are noticeably stoic and reserved, but have emotions deep down inside, just that the reason for it is different. One difference in them is that Shiro is noticeably more lazy than Shirome, and Shirome is more emotionless than Shiro. Despite that, they are still very much alike. Shirome is indeed protective of Shiro, to high Les Yay levels, and otherwise makes hints that they knew each other before they both joined the league, but Shiro doesn't seem to understand. Their backstories also match up; both had one parent not in there life (Shiro's mother and Shirome's father). But because Shiro's mother is presumed dead through childbirth, this possibility is likely not possible. Unless Shiro's mother rose from the dead or something, and with Shirome's quirk, it could be true. It is not until Shirome shows memories to Shiro that this assumption becomes correct, kind of. It is revealed that, while Shiro's mother did die from childbirth (giving birth to Shiro) it also took another life with her; Shirome. It is a rare case in which the mother dies with only one child being alive, and the other dead. After finding this out, it is clear that they are twin sisters, but their relationship may lead to some... questionable moments.
  • Benevolent Boss: She does care for her minions in her own quiet way and they love her right back.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Shirome's job as the Hell Girl forces her to repress her emotions to the point where it's very hard to make her angry... God help you if you actually succeed.
  • Casting a Shadow: One of her powers.
  • Connected All Along: With Koki. They have met each other in the past, Shirome saving him from an unknown incident. When asked what he could do to repay her, she merely said "repay the favor to someone else". This lead to his meeting with Ryuu. When they meet up again, Koki immediately recognizes Shirome, hugging her strongly, telling her he's missed her. This may have resulted in him getting kicked, but he doesn't care much. He's was just glad to see the person whom saved him.
    • Also with Shiro, since they are twin sisters but Shiro doesn't remember Shirome before they met in the league. Shirome does, however.
  • Creepy Monotone: When not interacting with her minions, or Shiro.
  • Deal with the Devil: Her duty is to offer these and carry them out.
  • Emotion Suppression: Despite coming off as an Emotionless Girl, Shirome does have emotions, but she must repress them in order to carry out her job as the Hell Girl.
  • Everyone Has Standards: She will send most people to hell without blinking an eye. But she was not happy when an innocent young nurse, who had committed no crime, was sent to hell by a drug addict for no reason at all.
  • The Ferryman: She ferries people to Hell in a similar manner to Charon.
  • Flower Motifs: Lycoris, also known as red spider lilies. They're closely tied to the theme of death, growing near cemeteries and meaning "Those who cannot return" in flower language.
  • Not So Different: After burning her village down in revenge, she insists that she did nothing wrong.
  • Psychopomp: Among other duties, Shirome ferries damned souls to eternal torment.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She appears emotionless at first glance, but Shirome is actually forced to repress her emotions in order to carry out her job as the Hell Girl. She allows herself to show a more caring and compassionate side around her True Companions during their heartwarming moments. Also, she can show sympathy to her clients, especially those who were betrayed by others. This is because betrayal featured strongly in the incident that led her to become the Hell Girl.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: There was a time in which Shirome was a sweet and innocent little girl.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Her hair is silver.

Koki Tadasuke — Breathtaker

"Hey, guys! Let's all take a break from the hideout for once!"

A 19-year-old villain who was suggested to be recruited to the League of Villains by Ryuu Nori. His quirk, "Breathtaking", allows him to take away the breath of anyone.

  • Bi The Way: He was revealed to be bisexual during the series.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: He has had a crush on Ryuu since they were in high school.
  • He-Man Woman Hater: Subverted, and later removed. He used to be afraid of females (besides his mother) until he met Shirome.
  • Ojou: His family is very rich and famous, known for their clothing line (they know he's a villain).
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: He dyed parts of his hair green with Ryuu when they were 5.

Tsubaki Watanuki

  • Apologizes a Lot: He says "sorry" to just about any minor flaw, real or imagined. When Shiro points this out, he starts to apologize for apologizing too much before catching himself.
  • Chocolate of Romance: One cute moment he has with Shiro is when she's sharing chocolates with him as they play games together.
  • Deadly Gaze: His quirk allow him to shut down his victims' brains by making eye contact. The effect is degenerative but not instantaneous, making his victims die slowly as their cognitive and motor functions gradually shut down.
  • Nervous Wreck: It's implied Tsubaki has some kind of anxiety issues, based off his shyness, his tendency to overthink things and second-guess himself, and his fear of coming off bad socially, in part due to his odd interests.

Yūichirō Hiragi

  • Abusive Parents: Except for his sister who genuinely loved him, and maaaaybe his father, the Hīragi family weren't the least bit kind to her.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: Compared to his genius sister.
  • The Un-Favorite: Especially when compared to his older sister, who was the next successor to the Hīragi family.
  • What Is This Feeling?: Yūichirō is somewhat emotionally stunted, so when he begins genuinely feeling care and affection for others (specifically Yuzuko) it throws him for a loop.

Yuzuko Okogi

A newer recruit of the league, Yuzuko is a girl who is not very good at expressing emotions. She looks for logic behind everything and is not good at understanding emotional-based decisions. She also does not outwardly show a lot of concern for her friends, though deep down, she truly cares for them all and would do anything to help.

  • Action Girl: She is a competent fighter in mid-range combat.
  • Ambiguously Bi: Although she has a crush on Yūichirō, she hides it from him and flirts with Kisaki way more often.
  • Character Development: Yuzuko has trouble expressing her emotions, and bases the majority of her decisions on pure logic, though in the second and third season, she gets over that trouble and is more open and friendly toward her friends.
  • Covert Pervert: She created a virtual simulation for herself where she could have some "unique" experiences with Yūichirō. Notable because earlier she barely understood what dating was.
  • Ditzy Genius: Yuzuko may understand everything to do with technology, but knows nothing about non-technical things. She once thought a bucket was to be worn on her head and a broom could be used as a portrait feather duster.
  • Nerds Are Sexy: Yūichirō thinks she's beautiful.
  • Shock and Awe: Her quirk is entirely based on technology and digital energy, but, on occasion, she has been known to control electricity.
  • The Smart Girl: As the science expert of the league, the team relies on Yuzuko to solve any technological issues, whether magical, supernatural or ordinary.
  • The Spock: She prefers to think before doing something rash.
  • Technopath: She can directly control some technology.
  • Teen Genius: Yuzuko is extremely smart, with an IQ of 150, and loves technology.

Himiko Toga

"Himiko Toga. Quirk: Transform. Allows her to transform into anyone through the injection of their blood."

Himiko toga-1

Himiko Toga, drawn by Kisaki Murasame

One of the League's newer recruits, a 17-year-old girl suspected of several murders. She was the eldest daughter of her family before she went missing after her middle school graduation and she apparently joined the League to make the world a place where she can be herself. Her Quirk, "Transform", allows her to change her appearance through the ingestion of someone's blood.

  • Abusive Parents: Her parents were disgusted with her Quirk and tried to suppress it from a young age, putting immense pressure on her to be "normal" and calling her a "creepy demon child".
  • Affably Evil: It's eerie how friendly she is to people who she's trying to kill. Made even more so by the fact that despite trying to stab her, she still seems to genuinely think of Ochaco as a friend.
  • Ax-Crazy: A psychotic girl with a Blood Lust and tendency to kill the people she falls for, being that she falls in love fairly easily.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: A blushing schoolgirl with a wacky hairdo, and an out-there personality. She was introduced after seemingly just murdering somebody. She even took down Rock Lock, a Pro Hero, by stabbing him in the chest from behind.
  • Bi the Way: Initially, it was somewhat ambiguous, as she is explicitly attracted to Stain and Midoriya, while also showing great interest in Tsuyu and Uraraka. Additionally, Horikoshi's notes on her prototype character sketches described her as "possibly bisexual". Eventually, she was confirmed to be this in Chapter 223, where she states that she fell in love with Stain, Deku, and Ochaco, but being more attracted to Kisaki than any of them. Though, it'd be more accurate to say that she's attracted to blood.
  • Bloodbath Villain Origin: A flashback reveals that she stabbed a classmate and drank from his wound with a straw with a look of ecstasy on her face before she became a serial killer and joined the League.
  • Blood Lust: Her Quirk makes her naturally attracted to blood, hence why she chops up people. The reason she became interested in Stain was because of how bloody he appeared during video footage and she also blushes when she first sees Midoriya, since he was a bloody mess right after his fight with Muscular. However, she still seemed attracted to Kisaki at the beginning, even when she wasn't covered in blood.
  • Blood Magic: Her Quirk requires blood ingestion in order to work. The more blood she drinks, the more she can stay in a transformed state, so she's literally fueled by blood.
  • Blue and Orange Morality: Sees absolutely nothing wrong with any of her actions and considers her way of life "perfectly normal". It caused her a lot of problems growing up, as even if her reasoning is logical and sound, the standards of everyone else tend to clash with it badly. Not that she minds, as her reasoning just concludes that it's how "their" way of life is normal for them as well.
  • Bowdlerise: Toga's Quirk allows her to take on someone's appearance and voice by ingesting their blood, complete with their clothes. However, this also melts any clothes she's currently wearing.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: One of the most dangerous girls presented as a villain... is appalled by the fact that her new battle gear doesn't look cute at all.
  • Confusion Fu: Her main fighting style is to use sneak attacks, by hiding, striking, vanishing and repeating, it makes her hard to follow, and harder to strike back against. Her costume is further designed to supplement this by letting her take in a large quantity of blood from multiple people simultaneously, allowing her to transform on the fly and sow confusion even better.
  • Cute But Psycho: She's a cute teenage girl, but completely bonkers.
  • Cute Little Fangs: Has teeth like those of a cat. Though considering her Quirk, it'd be more apt to say that their a vampire's.
  • Dark Chick: One of the few female members of the League so far (and the only one after Magne's death), as well as one of the most deranged members introduced.
  • Fangs Are Evil: Has at least four pairs of sharp fangs.
  • First-Name Basis: Toga seems to prefer referring to the people she considers friends, including her boss and enemies by their first names and an honorific. Notably, when she is around Overhaul, someone she hates for murdering Magne, she refers to him by his last name Chisaki.
  • Foil: She and Dabi joined the League at the same time and are complete opposites in almost everything. They're both serial killers, but in most other areas they're polar opposites.
    • Dabi's Quirk is insanely powerful, but without it, his body is a wet paper bag. Toga's Quirk is still unbelievably useful but does absolutely nothing in combat. Instead, she is extremely smart and fast for having no augmentations and is surprisingly durable for her stature.
    • Dabi speaks when he needs to and gets to the point, while Toga is a Motor Mouth.
    • Toga is a pretty young girl that would fit in a crowd vs Dabi who is an absolutely horrific looking burn victim. So much so that he gave away their hideout because of his skin grafts.
    • Dabi is extremely hostile and rude while Toga is overly familiar with everyone, including people she's trying to murder.
    • Dabi's personal reasons for evil seem to stem from hatred, while Toga's come from a twisted idea of love.
    • Toga is very good at being covert even without her powers and is the go-to for the League's infiltration operations, where Dabi completely lacks subtlety and can't help but make a scene even if he didn't need to (and making a disaster area in the process).
    • Finally, Dabi is a Dragon with an Agenda who doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone in the League aside from himself, while Toga is loyal to Shigaraki and is on good terms with the entire rest of the League, especially Twice.
  • Foreshadowing: Her shapeshifting Quirk has been hinted since her introduction, when she stated that she wanted to "kill and be Stain" and further referenced by her wishes to become the people she loves.
  • Friendly Enemy: To an incredibly creepy extent as Toga often tries to make friends with the people she is fighting against even if she is trying to drain their blood. For example, when she first encounters Uraraka and Tsuyu she tries to give the former love advice in regards to Izuku and tries to use Tsuyu's Affectionate Nickname to her. Suffice it to say everyone is creeped out by this habit of hers.
  • Full-Frontal Assault: If she transforms over her clothes, they are absorbed and destroyed by her Quirk. Since any clothes she adds with her ability overlaps on what she is already wearing, she would become effectively naked once she deactivated her Quirk. Because of this she is actually naked under her transformation whenever she create clothes with her Quirk.

Shuichi Iguchi — Spinner

A newer recruit of the League. Back in his hometown, he was treated poorly due to his reptilian features to the point where he thought it was normal. After being inspired by Stain's desire to change society, he joined the League with hopes of ending discrimination against those with heteromorphic Quirks. His Quirk is "Gecko", which allows him to cling to walls and other vertical surfaces, much like a gecko.

  • Affably Evil: When Magne tries to kill Deku, Spinner stops her since he believes Deku is worthy of being called a real hero after Stain previously saved Deku's life.
  • Ambiguously Human: He looks almost like a lizard which is revealed to be a product of his Quirk.
  • BFS: One that's made up of many smaller knives tied together. After it gets destroyed by Deku in his first battle for the League Spinner swaps it out for a regular sword.
  • Blessed with Suck: Spinner definitely seems to have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to Quirks. His Quirk turned him into a lizard man which made him a constant victim of discrimination from his hometown and all he got to show for it was the ability to cling to walls. Small wonder he became a bitter shut in.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Spinner was a constant victim of racism when he was young, and so he joined the villains to change society.
  • Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Due to the discrimination Spinner suffered in his early life he became bitter and withdrew from society. It was Stain's message to the world that lit a fire in his heart and he modelled his entire identity around Stain and joined the League. By the time of the Meta Liberation Army arc, once it becomes clear that there is barely any of Stain's influence left in the League, Spinner is left wondering why he is still with the League and what his purpose going forward will be. He eventually decides that he wants to see the world Shigaraki will create after he destroys everything he hates and dedicates himself to serving his boss.

Jin Bubaigawara — Twice

A fully-costumed man with an odd way of speaking. His past is an unpleasant affair; he overindulged in his own Quirk in a way that resulted in him suffering severe mental trauma. Now, he's unable to control his own Quirk outside of his suit and he cannot afford to have his face exposed for too long otherwise he'll begin to split. Said Quirk is called "Double", and it allows him to make duplicates of people he can touch.

  • Ambiguous Clone Ending: Due to abusing his Quirk in the past, the Twice currently seen is not sure if he is the original one. The serious pain he undergoes in Chapter 229 snaps him out of it by confirming he is indeed the original and allows him to finally start using his Quirk at its fullest potential.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: Due to feeling like he's unworthy of help from heroes due to his mental instability and criminal past, he greatly values his comrades amongst the League for treating him well and giving him a place to belong. He was among the most outwardly furious at Overhaul when he killed Magne, and when Giran gets taken by the Meta Liberation Army he is hellbent on rescuing him since he was the one to introduce Twice to the League in the first place. In fact, he even got incredibly angry when Kisaki was hurt, possibly hinting of closeness between the two.
  • Blessed with Suck: Twice's Quirk is one of the more useful out there, to the point that both Tomura and later Skeptic consider him a valuable asset. However, Twice himself is extremely afraid of his Quirk due to witnessing all his clones killing each other after abusing the ability, and he now suffers from some major mental issues.
  • Clone Army: His Quirk can — theoretically — allow him to do this, even if his mental issues stop him from using this technique and after the Meta Liberation Army accidentally cures his mental problems, he does EXACTLY this on himself — he overruns several entire streets in seconds with the sheer amount of his own clones.
  • Cloning Blues: He once created an entire team of clones to do his bidding, however, each of the clones thought of themselves as the real one and they all disliked being ordered around, which led them to attack each other until one remained. The remaining Twice may or may not be the original, and the entire experience has permanently traumatized him. When he eventually realizes that he is the real Jin Bubaigawara, he starts getting better.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He's a major oddball. Not in small part due to his Split Personality. Chapter 115 paints his oddball habits in a much darker, and way more depressing, light.
  • Commander Contrarian: Zigzagged. When given orders, he replies negatively, but happily follows them anyway (or vice-versa). This is a result of his Split Personality as seen below.
  • Doppelgänger Attack: Uses his clones mostly to provide distractions so the other villains can act without being interrupted. They can even mimic the Quirks of the original templates.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He'll happily work with a crazed serial killer like Toga but misgendering Magne genuinely pissed him off.

Atsuhiro Sako — Mr. Compress

A villain with a stage magician theme and new recruit in the League. His Quirk, "Compress", lets him shrink people and objects which he then stores in marble-like spheres.

  • Affably Evil: Almost constantly even-tempered and debonaire, even in the midst of battle.
  • An Arm and a Leg:
    • Overhaul destroys his left arm. Thankfully, the League's ties to Giran made it easy to procure the necessary mechanical substitute.
    • It turns out his Quirk is actually capable of doing this to others. We mainly see him use it to compress entire people into balls to be carried away, but then he uses it on a bound Overhaul to compress only Overhaul's left arm, effectively tearing it away from the rest of his body.
  • Artificial Limbs: Compress is outfitted with a prosthetic robot arm to replace the one he no longer has.
  • Best Served Cold: Used his Quirk to destroy Chisaki's left arm much in the manner Chisaki had destroyed his, causing it to rupture and shrink into one of his spheres. While Chisaki was totally helpless... and Shigaraki paid him back in interest by taking away his other arm, making it impossible for Chisaki to activate his Overhaul ability anymore.

Kenji Hikishi — Magne

A new recruit in the League. A long-haired, sunglasses-wearing veteran villain with some murders and armed robberies under her belt. Her Quirk is "Magnetism".

  • Affectionate Nickname: While "Magne" is her villain name, Toga refers to her as "Magu-nee", the longer "nee" meaning "big sister". Viz translates as "Big Sis Mag".
  • The Brute: She is strong enough to keep up with the physically-intimidating Tiger, and without her Quirk too. She herself appears to be just there to provide muscle as her criminal record is rather typical for a villain.
  • Bury Your Gays: One of two transgender characters introduced, and the first actual, named character to die onscreen outside of a flashback.
  • Carry a Big Stick: Uses a cloth-wrapped, log-like club during the School Trip Arc. It's later revealed to be a huge magnet.
  • Evil Redhead: Her hair is of a deep red color.
  • Family-Unfriendly Death: Dies by having the upper half of her body blown to bits by Overhaul. When an explanation of Overhaul's titular Quirk is given later, it's clarified that he dismantled Magne at the molecular level.
  • Fastball Special: Her "Breakup Repulsion: Night Flight Cannon" technique, which is done by magnetizing two people of the same gender.

Information on the Meta Liberation Army

Originally created and led by the notorious villain Destro years ago, the Meta Liberation Army was a large, powerful organization who believed using their Quirks should be a fundamental human right and that society is wrong in attempting to regulate Quirk usage, resorting to terrorism to make their point. Eventually, they were defeated and Destro was arrested, causing the group to disband. While in prison, Destro released his manifesto to the world before killing himself in his jail cell. Unbeknownst to the police and even Destro himself, Destro had a child, and now one of his descendants, Rikiya Yotsubashi, aka "Re-Destro", leads a modern incarnation of the Meta Liberation Army, and intends to carry out his legacy and plans. Under his new leadership, the army has expanded to currently hold allegedly more than 116,000 soldiers.

Rikiya Yotsubashi — Re-Destro

The Grand Commander and founder of the current Meta Liberation Army and the descendant of infamous villain Destro. His public persona is the president and CEO of the Detnerat Company, which is dedicated to creating individual items fitting people with Quirks that make them unable to buy anything standardized. His Quirk—or Meta Ability as he calls it—"Stress" can use the everyday tension he accumulates to increase his strength and size.

  • Affably Evil: A charming, charismatic Nice Guy, who cares for his followers and is loved and respected by them in return. He also kills his secretary in cold blood, supplies test equipment to the black market and has no qualms about sending his aforementioned supporters into deadly combat with the League of Villians - all for the purpose of helping to create what he believes will be a better world.
  • An Arm and a Leg: He ends up having to amputate his own feet in order to survive Shigaraki's Decay.
  • Arc Villain: The main antagonist of the Meta Liberation Army Arc and supreme leader of the Meta Liberation Army.

Yamato Yamamoto

Yamato had a strict upbringing and quickly learned to hold the responsibility of his company on his shoulders, leaving him with little empathy or adequate social skills. He strongly believes in the idea that the strong shall lead and quickly dismisses those that he believes to be weak. His quirk, "No Longer Human," allows him to nullify other quirks through physical contact with either the quirk or the user.

  • Alliterate Name: Yamato Yamamoto.
  • Ambiguously Gay: A case can be made for him in the manga and it become a stronger one in the anime. It's turned up even more during a scene with his brother, where he appears to be even more affectionate towards Mai. Several characters even comment on it!
  • Ax-Crazy: The anime portrays him as this, with the reason for many of the army's members' deaths being seen as Yamato using the crisis as an excuse to kill off the 'trash'. He's clearly unapologetic about those deaths, to the point of seeming proud of them.
  • Bad Boss: On the one hand, he will not punish or demote subordinates that fail him because he believes that's the best they can do, so punishment would be futile. If one of his subordinates dies in his service, he doesn't give their deaths a second thought for that exact reason.
  • Benevolent Boss: On the other hand, if he finds a subordinate that proves to have innate skill and the ability and desire to improve themselves, he goes an extra mile for them. Any less competent employee will be assigned to things that they won't fail and Mai admits that Yamato basically handed the research department a blank check.
  • Blessed with Suck: His quirk is most useful in combat situations, but it's always active except in very specific extreme circumstances.
  • Boring, but Practical: His quirk isn't very flashy, dramatic, or interesting compared to the quirks of his colleagues in the army, but it's extremely useful in fights, has few known drawbacks, and allows his allies with dangerous or hard-to-control quirks to make more effective use of them.
  • Child Prodigy: He has been taking college-level classes since he was 5 years old.
  • Comes Great Responsibility: In the anime, he believes in a rather twisted way that all power comes as a trial to those that are worthy of it.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: Yamato becomes rather possessive of Mai as time goes by. Mai hanging out with anyone other than him pushes him into yandere territory.
  • Friendless Background: The anime expands on Yamato's past and shows him as a young child, looking at families having fun at a festival and being reprimanded because he shouldn't concern himself with lowly, civilian things.
  • Freudian Excuse: Yamato was born into a high-ranking family and his life was decided for him immediately. He lost his parents at a young age, though he likely doesn't care much about that, and was given high expectations. Forced to being part of the elite, he was never given the opportunity to socialize with anyone his own age (excluding his brother) and on equal standing, leaving him to be unable to understand or empathize with normal people. Finally, he is expected to lay his life down for the sake of Japan, despite the people he's supposed to protect being corrupt and cowardly. It's easy to understand why he wanted a Meritocracy.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He does eventually evolve into this. Very slowly, though.
  • Lack of Empathy: The army accuses him of having no emotions or compassion for the many civilians and subordinates of his that are dying and that his Meritocracy lacks the cooperation of people. But when Mai is talking to him one-on-one, it's clear that Yamato does have emotions, but isn't the best at expressing them well.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: Towards Mai.
  • No Social Skills: Lacks a sense of compassion because of his way of upbringing.
  • Only Friend: Yamato declares that Mai is the only one who comes close to what he might call a friend.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure
    • Yamato values his subordinates that are truly useful. If they are not as useful as he'd like them to be, he'll tolerate them as not being cut out for the current crisis and simply re-assigns them to things that he knows they'll be capable of doing, instead of punishing them.
    • His view of insubordination is also surprising. He never considers Mai to ever be out of line, nor any of the army members that may be rifling through files and finding information against him that could only be gotten through hacking or high security clearance. He knows people will be curious and doesn't care about information leaks, as long as said leaks do not hinder their cause.
  • Sergeant Rock: Yamato is fully aware that some of his subordinates do not like him, but he still has their respect because he is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
  • Social Darwinist: Yamato wants to create a world where the strong and skilled rise in rank and prosperity and those that are incompetent or weak are left to die.
  • So Proud of You: The savvier Mai chooses to react, the more Yamato becomes impressed with Mai. Yamato even says that, if Mai were to usurp Yamato's position, he wouldn't mind.
  • The Stoic: He's generally calm and serious throughout the crisis.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Eventually shows this side only to Mai.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Takoyaki, after Mai introduces him to it.
  • Tragic Monster: He's not evil or malicious by deliberate choice. The reason he is so stuck on a Meritocracy is because he was raised to become an excellent leader at the cost of a more balanced view of things and how capable humanity can be in general. Not to mention he was never taught anything about the concept of compassion, though Mai helps him with that.
  • Worthy Opponent
    • Yamato claims that Mai would be one, if they ever were to fight on opposite sides.
  • Yandere
    • Some of the words he spews to Isa Toyoshige:
      • "You are the one that corrupted him! ...that ends here. I will slit your throat and see that he comes to his senses!"
    • In the anime, Yamato tells Rikiya that he will not let Mai die on him because, in his own words, "Mai is mine".
  • Younger Than They Look: Yamato is 17 years old, the same age as Mai, but he is easily mistaken to being older because of his behavior and authority.

Mai Yamamoto — Q

A Creepy Child of the army, known by his codename "Q". His quirk "Dogra Magra" allows him to control the mind of anyone who injures him.

  • All the Other Reindeer: Got picked on as a kid by several bullies because of his 'nerdiness'.
  • Broken Ace: Whenever he actually gets to do something, he's smart, talented and strong, and there aren't many people who at least begrudgingly accept him. He is also a Stepford Smiler who tortures himself with the memories of his past failures and his lost friend.
  • Cheshire Cat Grin: Mai rarely stops smiling, and his smiles get very unsettling in serious or darker moments, frequently also dipping into Psychotic Smirk territory.
  • Child Prodigy: Was the youngest person of his family's history to become an Executive.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Mai is a rather eccentric boy that enjoys researching and trying out various suicide methods for fun.
  • Creepy Child: Oh so very much.
  • Creepy Doll: Uses one that's linked to his quirk.
  • Death Seeker: Maybe. Played straight during his past. He is said to have grown bored of the world, and is seeking out something that could defy his expectations and hopefully kill him in the process. It is ambiguous whether he still thinks that way or not after leaving his family, but his proclamations of suicide since joining the army have been a lot more lighthearted when compared to his genuine desire for death in the past, and happen less and less often as the series goes on. Crosses over a lot with Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life.
  • Deliberate Injury Gambit: He keeps razors tied to his arms so that simply bumping into him will cut him and thus trigger his quirk, cursing the one who harmed him.
  • Even the Guys Want Him: Yamato's obsession with him can be interpreted as a crush.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: His right eye has a star shaped pupil when using his quirk.
  • Hands-Off Parenting: Didn't seem very close to his parents. His father often told him to not get in his mother's way or sounding harsh and uncaring towards Mai coming home late. This would make sense as to why Mai didn't seem to particularly care about his parents when a disaster struck.
  • Iron Woobie: Everyone is convinced that he's the standard bearer of this, since he remains unbelievably calm in situations that leave others traumatized.
  • Large Ham: His expressions are either subdued or exaggerated.
  • Mind Rape: His specialty.
  • Multicolored Hair: Has black and silver hair.
  • Nice Hat: In his normal form, wears a goofy hood that gives him long, floppy bunny ears.
  • Not So Different: With Shiro. Both are lazy, would rather skip out on villain duties, have strong quirks that could kill people, are extremely smart, look younger then they actually are, etc. and they are really close. Subverted with Isa.
  • Older Than They Look: He looks like a little boy, possibly 10, but he is, in fact, 17. Sometimes he doesn't even look like a boy, more like a girl. It is eventually found out that he was cursed to look like a 10 year old. He eventually breaks the curse, but he still looks pretty young because of his height.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Everyone calls him Q.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He's generally seen with a smile on his face, in stark contrast to his brother Yamato.
  • Photographic Memory: His memory capacity is inhuman.
  • The Promise: The anime has him give a promise to Yamato, telling him that he'll be staying by his side until the end, and pass judgement on him, if he believes Yamato's existence to be a sin.
  • Psychotic Smirk: Tends to do these while his quirk is playing out.
  • Stepford Smiler: Is one. Behind his laziness, benevolent smile and optimism, is someone who is still very damaged by what happened in his younger years.
  • Warrior Therapist: Doesn't pause to get to know and understand people during the chaos going on.
  • Wingding Eyes: The pupil of his right eye is a star when using his quirk.
  • Young and in Charge: He was the youngest Yamamoto executive in the company's history.

Isa Toyoshige — Gore

"Can we eat cake, please?"

A young boy from a very wealthy family and the younger brother of Asa Toyoshige. He became a villain alongside Asa, Mai Yamamoto, and Yamato Yamamoto. His quirk, "Blood Manipulation", allows him to control everybody's blood except for his.

  • Achilles Heel: He can't control his own blood with his quirk unlike his sister, Asa.
  • Color Motif: Isa's favorite color is obviously blue.
  • Death Seeker: Previously. Isa used to be very suicidal.
  • Murder in the Family: He killed his father but it wasn't on purpose nor was it an accident, It just happened.
  • Older Than They Look:-Isa is 15 despite looking 8-9 years old. He hasn't grown since he was 12 years old. Due to this, he always got called a baby during junior high.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Mai is the main reason that Isa is gay.

Asa Toyoshige — Blood Queen

A young woman from a very wealthy family and the older sister of Isa Toyoshige. She became a villain alongside Isa, Mai Yamamoto, and Yamato Yamamoto. Her quirk, "Blood Crystallization", allows her to turn her blood into crystals from any part of her body.

  • Bi the Way: She was revealed to be bisexual when she started dating Himiko Toga.
  • Character Tics: She has a sassy mouth when she's annoyed or angry.
  • Motivated by Fear: She has one fear and it's the fear of Isa dying.

Information on the Shie Hassaikai

The main antagonists of the Internships Arc. A group of dangerous Yakuza, lead by Overhaul, with the goal of taking the "Leader of the Underworld" title that was once held by All For One. As a whole, they're based on the corruption of Buddhism, specifically its Eightfold Path, with Chisaki acting as a Buddha analog.

Kai Chisaki — Overhaul

"There are so many capable men... and all they can think to do is rob a convenience store? Kinda weird... you'd think a group this big might just, y'know... have bigger goals than that... You're all sick. And you need a cure."

The current leader of the Shie Hassaikai, a strange man who's very vocal about cleanliness and sickness. His Quirk, "Overhaul", allows him to disassemble and reassemble anything that he touches with his hands.

  • Abusive Parents: While he isn't truly Eri's father, he pretends to be so he can corral her more easily. He shows absolute contempt for the little girl, seeing her as nothing more then a tool for his plan. Said plan involves draining her blood to make his Quirk-Destroying Drug. When ever she ran out of blood to give, he used his Quirk to disassemble and reassemble her back to square one, a process that's noted to be very painful. Mirio is completely horrified when he learns about all of this.
  • Ambiguous Disorder: He seems to have some degree of OCD, or mysophobia. He gets extremely uncomfortable and violent when someone touchs him and he constantly comments about cleanness and dirtiness.
  • Animal Motifs: Everyone in his group wears some kind of beak-like mask, much like his plague doctor's mask, making the lot of them look like birds. He himself is also occasionally represented with molting black feathers.
  • Antagonist Abilities: Overhaul has an unusually powerful Quirk that gives him a great advantage in fights despite his lack of actual skill in fighting. Even when meeting him for the first time, Mirio notices he isn't someone they can just fight and defeat easily. His Quirk even allows him to turn into a small kaiju-like monster by mixing himself with Rikyia and the ground.
  • Arc Villain: He is the primary antagonist of the Internship Arc and the leader of the Shie Hassaikai.
  • Authority Equals Asskicking: Overhaul is the leader of the Shie Hassakai and also has the strongest Quirk amongst the group.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: His normal attire consists of a black suit with a white necktie under his bomber jacket. He seen wearing other suits in flashbacks, like a black one with a white shirt he wore while recruiting Rappa, and a white one he wore when he recruited Nemoto.
  • Bad Boss: He's fully willing to use his subordinates as meat shields, only seeing their deaths as minor inconveniences, and even kills a lackey because Eri escaped under his watch. Outside of his inner circle and the Eight Expendables, most of his underlings actually despise him and only follow him out of either fear or loyalty to the old boss.
  • Bad Powers, Bad People: His Quirk allows him to destroy people with a single touch, blowing up people's upper half being his go-to move. That said, he can also utilize his power as Healing Hands.
  • Berserk Button: DON'T touch him unless you want to be popped like a zit, and we do mean "pop" in the most literal sense. In his earlier years, he was also easily enraged by people looking down on the Yakuza.
  • Bishōnen: Downplayed. He's tall and has an androgynous face, with thin eyebrows, narrow eyes, prominent eyelashes, a short, narrow nose, and a pointed chin. His build, however, is actually large and muscular as seen in his Shirtless Scene, though not to the extent of All Might or Endeavor.

Mukuro Kamukura — Corpse Princess

"We've been friends for soooooooo long! What are the odds we'd still be together? Well, not 'together-together'... Not that I'm not saying that you're not handsome; you are handsome, but that'd just be weird, right?" —Mukuro Kamukura, to Ishida Kunihiko

  • Ambiguously Bi: Mukuro claims they "go for anything" when asked by Ishida about their sexuality. At first we're lead to believe they're lying, but they never deny it, and at the end they claim to "enjoy both genders".
  • Ambiguously Human: Mukuro looks like a human, except for the fact that they aren't. It has been confirmed that Mukuro is, what they call, a "walking corpse". The actual term for it is "Shikabane Hime" which roughly translates to "Corpse Princess", it being their villain name. Kinda spooky when you find out they aren't even alive to begin with...
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: After meeting certain people and becoming friends with them Mukuro noticed their dull, gray world began to have color and they started expressing more interest in "living" than simply going through the daily motions of living.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: At one point, as they rambles on about the length of time Ishida and them have been together, they hastily point out that they don't mean they're "together, together" because "that would be weird".
  • Chunky Salsa Rule: It's necessary to destroy Mukuro's brain to kill them, since they'll keep regenerating otherwise.
  • Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: They're more troubled by the fact that they don't have goals or hobbies in comparison to their friends than they let on initially.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Their first onscreen appearance shows them sitting atop a mountain of corpses humming a melody to themself.

Erina is the current heir of the main house of the wealthy Yukihara family, being the granddaughter of Dean Senzaemon as well as the daughter of Mana and Azami. From a young age, she's also worked as an official music critic thanks to her incredibly refined hearing, known to many as 'God's Ears.' Though very popular at school for her talent, looks and pedigree, she has essentially no friends or interests beyond music. She's accompanied by her secretary and fellow U.A. student Hisako Arato and tends to squabble with her cousin Alice.

  • Abusive Parents: When she was young, her father had ruthlessly indoctrinated his rigid ideals of perfection on her. Erina's mother is mean and callous towards her.
  • Adorkable: In contrast to her public persona, she reverts to this pretty much any time where she tries to act her age or when she's around the few people she's actually comfortable with (Perma). These behaviors include being overly excited by normal activities like card games, an inability to operate basic machinery (such as a washing machine) or failing to understand where to buy a volume of manga. She also had an unusually cute look of concern for Kisaki after she finished her entrance exam and rushes to see how she fared.
  • Angry Musician: While all the members of Perma are musicians, Erina in particular starts out a haughty, bad-tempered perfectionist.
  • Brutal Honesty: She is very direct when listening to music and in pointing out flaws, even to her closest friends.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: After Alice left for Denmark, Azami began "training" her to be intolerant of "imperfect" dishes by locking her in a dark room, forcing her to judge music and having her throw any sheet of music that was less than perfect. If she would disobey, he would hurt her. This continued until she was completely brainwashed to behave like him. She barely started to recover after Senzaemon's intervention (which resulted in Azami's expulsion from the family), Alice's return and Hisako's support, but the trauma still haunts her and she is still very picky about the music she judges. In fact, Azami's abuse was so bad that it made her forget why she wanted to play in the first place, admitting that she has never really enjoyed playing. Erina does eventually call Azami out on his abuse.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: She's rather aloof and isolated by default, but when people make an effort to get to know her she actually warms up quickly and turns out to be pretty nice, if a little socially awkward and sheltered.
  • Dynamic Character: When Erina was a child, while being very brutally honest, she still was a very cheerful girl with a kind heart. After Alice left for Denmark and Azami took over her education, she was shaped into a cruel elitist. It took her a long time to return to her original self. It's not until she takes shelter at U.A, befriends its tenants, realizes that Alice always loved her the whole time and Kisaki reminded her of Reine's music that she decides to actively oppose her father.
  • Fangirl: She sees Reine as her role model because she inspired her to start playing.
  • It Runs in the Family: Azami, Erina and Senzaemon all seem to hold Reine in especially high regard.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: It should tell you something about her father when she's visibly terrified and submissive towards him.
  • Parental Abandonment: Erina is still haunted about the reality that her mother abandoned her and the Yukihara family. She grieves over the truth that deep down, her mother never loved her.
  • Raised by Grandparents: Erina's father Azami has been absent for ten years and her mother is disdainful of her. During that time, her grandfather Senzaemon was her only legal guardian.
  • The Runaway: Alice managed to convince her to run away from her father.
  • School Idol: She has the biggest following over most the third years and has many admirers, both male and female (despite the fact they are all too intimidated to act on it) and she's currently the most talented of the seniors.

Ui Mito

  • But Not Too Foreign: Her mom is Japanese while her dad is a tanned American.
  • Be Yourself: Throughout the series, she has difficulty acting honestly, always falling back on the prideful, aggressive persona she's spent years developing under the pressure of being heir to a powerful family.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: By Denki, simultaneously developing a crush on him.
  • Fangirl: She respected and admired Kisaki since the two were children, and she saw with how much dignity the letter dealt with the pressure of being the heir of a prominent family (something Ui herself struggled with). This admiration reaches a level where it's almost indistinguishable from an outright crush, complete with blushing, stuttering, stealing glances, observing her from afar while commenting on how cool she is, and at one point running away in embarrassment after she revealed her feelings to Kisaki.
    • Same with her mutual crush on Denki. She keeps cheering him in all of his challenges along with the Perma members.
  • Freudian Excuse: On her ninth birthday, her mother gave her a teddy bear as a gift. Unfortunately, her father destroyed it, telling his wife to never give their daughter another gift like that, and advising Ui to let go of any weaknesses to become worthy of the family business. This explains her appearance and attitude. This also explains her crush on Denki: Since her father prohibited her from showing her soft side, Denki was the first person ever to say openly that she was "cute" in a positive way, just as she felt for the first time that she could be herself.
  • Hidden Depths: Her attitude is bold and aggressive, but it's hinted that she would like to be more feminine. However, her father raised her to avoid associating with anything that could be considered weak.
  • Ojou: Judging from appearance and personality, one wouldn't see this, but the Mito family founded its business by distributing and selling music across Japan. A flashback reveals Ui lives in a Big Fancy House and wore an elegant dress when she was a child.
  • Tsundere: Ui denies being attracted to Denki, and will often yell how she doesn't care about Class 1-A, even though she's embracing being in Perma.

IA — Thief Prom Queen

  • Ambiguously Gay: Though all the Perma girls have their moments, IA is the most blatant example of this trope. It's more downplayed in the manga, but very much the case in the expanded material. To wit:
    • In the anime, she blatantly flirts with Kisaki, and has outright stated that she won't let anyone have her. Her flirting isn't just limited to just Kisaki either.
    • She lists looking at cute girls as one of her likes.
  • Born Lucky: By her own admission, she's always been lucky (ie: drawing "Great" fortunes and being eternally undefeated in Rock–Paper–Scissors). She uses that luck to help her with fortune telling.
  • Buxom Is Better: Not hard to see why it's her charm point.
  • Camera Fiend: Of the filming variety more than photography. IA jumps at any excuse to record her friends doing anything interesting.
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: She tends to punish the other girls for various slights by rubbing their breasts.
  • Cool Big Sis: Acts as one to the other girls, usually giving them advice for their problems.
  • Fortune Teller: She likes to use tarot cards to predict the future, and has a deck of her own. It's through this that she's able to predict the line-up of Perma.
  • Friendless Background: She constantly moved around and thus never had any chances to really make friends until she met Kisaki.
  • Not So Different: The reason why she approached Kisaki in the first place was this — because she reminded her of herself in how she pushed people away.
  • Tarot Motifs: This is how she likes to predict the future. She never goes out of her home without bringing her own tarot deck with her, and usually uses it to fit in a conversation. She notably uses this method to explain the motivations of her actions when assembling Perma.
  • Team Mom: The more calm and collected of the second years and the first one to lend a hand to the underclassmen, even before actually being involved in Perma.
  • Trickster Mentor: Other than her... interesting methods of punishment, it's hinted that some of the signs that she uses to prompt the other girls on are made up so that they will take action.
  • Verbal Tic: Sometimes adds a "-ya" in the ends of her sentences.
  • Wise Beyond Their Years: She seems to know quite a lot about a few topics (most notably tarot) and often shares her knowledge with the other girls. Sometimes they wonder why she knows so much, or how much she travels.

Rei Taruki — Hell Cat

Rei's known Shinso ever since they were kids, and loves exploiting the fact that she knows all his weaknesses.

  • Animal Motifs: While the other members of Perma all demonstrate motifs related to their animal, Rei may be the one most blatant with it - listless in rainy weather, preferring to be active and running around, able to jump from very high places and land on her feet, and even her least favorite foods are all ones that are very bad for cats and can lead to renal failure. During a scene with her and Hitoshi, she's seen sleeping in a tree in a catlike position.
  • Cat Smile: A common expression of hers.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: She'd mainly just be a very cheerful girl, if not for her tendency to seemingly actually believe some outrageous stuff. She tends to get very melodramatic during these moments, but it's oddly hard to tell if she's being serious or not.
  • Cute Little Fangs: They can be seen when she opens her mouth.
  • Genki Girl: She's very energetic, fueled mostly by her (very strong) emotions, is nearly a case of No Indoor Voice.
  • Hellish Pupils: Her pupils become slits like a cat's when she gets extremely angry and when she turns into the cat's True Form.
  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: Her asshole dad hated her so much that he called her an "it."
  • My Instincts Are Showing: She's occasionally shown grooming herself in cat form.
  • Never Got to Say Goodbye: To her mom, before she died. Rei would almost always say goodbye to Kyouko before she left for work, but the morning Kyouko died, Rei overslept since she had pulled an all-nighter to study for a test. Rei even wonders if the reason her mother died was because she hadn't seen her off as usual.
  • Patient Childhood Love Interest: Sorta. She's known Hitoshi since fifth grade.
  • Prone to Tears: Rei is prone to crying over after hearing a sad story or being treated nicely by one of her friends, even for something as simple as receiving a swimsuit as a gift.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Behind her tomboyish demeanor is a more girlish side that likes shopping and grooming as much as other average girls.
  • Tragic Keepsake: She keeps a picture of her deceased mother and never wants to go anywhere without it. On one occasion, she even takes a bath with it.
  • Shown Their Work: Cats are deathly allergic to leeks, onions and miso, so it makes sense why Rei (bearing a cat transformation quirk) would hate them.
  • Stepford Smiler: Whenever things go wrong for her in the anime, she tries to hide her pain. She alludes to this in her Image Song:
    • These tears that I spill, I won't show to anyone. 
    • Although there were tough times (let's sing!) 
    • I don't want to give up yet (dreamin' now) 
    • Keep on smiling! Keep on shining!
  • Voice of the Legion: She speaks with an echoing, scary voice when she turns into her monstrous 'true' form.

Moa Yuzuki — Eclair

  • Animal motif: Blue sheep.
  • Idiot Hair: That acts more like a literal Hair Antenna to call her spaceship.
  • Proper Tights With Skirt: Played With, She wears a dress instead of a skirt.

Shiketsu High School

Class 1-A

Chuya Fujiwara — S3-2X

  • Badass Adorable: While as Chuya she is pretty cute and reasonably powerful, her sadistic streak and growth in power when she transforms into her online avatar terrifies almost everyone around her.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: How scary can she be? Scary enough to actually frighten Koji, Tsuzuki, Takakuwa AND Kana! And pretty much anyone else unfortunate enough to witness her.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Sort of. While she's more Creepy Good than anything else, she can admit that she has megalomania.

Tsuzuki Kiyomi — AA-12

"Is that a supposed threat? Well, it's not threatening me."

A Shiketsu High Student and the younger sister of No. 3 Pro Hero, Takakuwa Kiyomi. Her quirk, "Gamer", allows her to do anything she can do in a game. She can also transform into her game avatar if she wants.

  • Gamer Girl: She started playing video games since she was 4 when her quirk developed.
  • Odd Friendship: Despite their different personalities, Tsuzuki and Camie get along quite well.
  • Older Than They Look: She is in fact older than Inasa although she looks way younger.
  • Meaningful Name: Sort of. Her hero name is based on her favorite gun, the Auto Assault-12.
  • Not So Stoic: She was always been stoic since she was a kid. Despite this, she'll smile once in a while.
  • Sweet Tooth: She loves lollipops which is why she is seen having 3-4 lollipops in between her fingers.

Haruna Kurosawa

A Shiketsu High School Student who is loved for his appearance and happy-go-lucky personality. He is old friends with Ren, who he is later partnered with. He's... energetic, to say the least. His quirk. "Euphoria", causing a good sense of happiness to everyone and everything just by hearing his voice, touching him, etc.

  • Big Eater: Haruna approaches eating like he does everything else: with an excess of passionate enthusiasm. Unlike some gluttonous characters, he doesn't eat constantly, but when he does get to sit down to a meal, he packs away ridiculous amounts of food. When first introduced, he talks non-stop to Ren while slurping up pancakes like they're noodles.
  • Blood Knight: He is VERY enthusiastic about punting stuff (and other people on occasion) with his rocket-propelled hammer. Not to mention his first suggestion to solving Chuya's bully problem is to break said bully's legs.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: He's very energetic and extroverted, equally strong and tough, and absolutely revels whenever he gets a chance to fight. Whenever the prospect of violence comes up, he's always seen treating it with his trademark cheerful enthusiasm.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Haruna and Ren are first introduced when Haruna wakes up Ren for Haruna's first day in school. They are so close that they're mistaken for a couple and Chuya even turns to Haruna for dating advice on the grounds that Ren and Haruna are an item, something Ren and Haruna are quick to correct. However, whenever Ren gets injured in a fight, Haruna becomes extremely distracted and distraught. He will also make a bee-line for whoever injured Ren to injure them in revenge.
  • Cute Bruiser: Haruna is the picture of a cute boy with his love of hearts, bubbly attitude, petite size, and generally happy nature. Absolutely none of this changes the fact that he actively enjoys fighting or prevents him from having the strength to carry around a massive grenade-launching hammer which combines with his strength to make him the hardest hitting student in Shiketsu.

Class 2-A

Kana Fujiwara — STV-00

"At least you two have something that drives you. I've just kinda always gone with the flow, you know? And that's fine; I mean, that's who I am, but how long can I really do that for? I wanna be a hero, not really because I want to be important, but because I want the adventure. I want a life where I won't know what tomorrow will bring and that will be a good thing. Being a hero just happens to line up with that."

  • Berserk Button: Touching or otherwise messing with Kana's hair triggers a rather... disproportionate response. A lecherous man trying to touch her hair caused her to calmly grab his hand and then punch him so hard he literally bounced out of the building like a tennis ball.
  • Big Sister Worship: Inverted. On more than one occasion, Kana has been vocally very proud of her younger sister's idealism and willingness to help people.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: She acts lively and can be boastful at times, and becomes very agitated when fighting.
  • Boobs of Steel: She takes on a whole nightclub run by a mafia-style organization, and wins. Whereas the others rely on some degree of finesse, she seems to take a brute-force approach to combat, shrugging off blows and returning fire with stronger attacks. This actually serves a practical purpose as Kana's quirk draws its power from the blows she receives, which allows her to benefit from a more aggressive, attack-oriented style. In keeping with her overwhelming physical prowess and aggressive style, she is very well-endowed.
  • Burning with Anger: Grazing her hair even once is a one-way ticket to riling her up and seeing her explode into her Super Mode, shortly before she takes out the offender. An even faster way to activate it is to hurt the people she loves.
  • Cool Big Sis: As Chuya's badass and dependable older sister, Kana's chummy and protective attitude has extended to the rest of her friends.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: As she mentions to Takakuwa, she and Chuya experienced the loss of their mother at a young age and lost their father too. In fact, it was at this time that Kana learned Suzami was her adopted mother and that her birth mother had disappeared as well, leading Kana to drag little Chuya along as she hunted down answers as to her mother's whereabouts.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Similar to Chuya, Kana sometimes shoots off very blunt put downs to her often sillier friends.
  • Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Hot-Blooded, Boisterous Bruiser sort of fighter. Her Quirk gives her a Critical Status Buff the more damage she takes, and often gets her literally Burning with Anger. This makes her great in brawls and come-from-behind victories, but we also see the downside of this fighting style when she can't land any hits and her temper becomes a liability. Most critically, the fact that Kana has a tendency to become The Berserker makes her an easy victim of a Frame-Up accusing her of kneecapping a defeated duel opponent.
  • Determinator: Young Kana was determined to find her birth mother, and with Chuya in tow, endured multiple injuries walking through a forest, and exhaustion to the point of collapse.
  • Elemental Hair: She has shining blonde hair which seems to catch fire whenever her Quirk powers up or her temper gets the better of her.
  • Eye Color Change:
    • Her eyes turn red while her Quirk is active.
    • When Kana is rather depressed and upset, her eye color becomes much more muted than the normal violet tone.
  • Fatal Flaw: Her impulsive personality makes her impatient, quick to anger, and prone to thrill-seeking, obsession and dangerously thoughtless acts. As a child, her obsession with finding her birth mother meant that, the moment her father's back was turned, she dragged her sister on a quest to locate Aimi. Although she now controls her obsession with her mother, she revels in thrill-seeking and weaponizes her quick temper: combining her wrath, impatience and Quirk allows her to win fights very quickly without bothering with either strategy or temperance. This fighting style makes her predictable to the villains.
  • Flaming Hair: The more power Kana receives from her Quirk, the more lively her hair becomes, glowing brightly and burning with power.
  • Feed It with Fire: With every hit she takes, her Super Strength amplifies. She gets tossed around like a ragdoll by a Humongous Mecha, then proceeds to reverse it.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: She gets angry very easily and quickly just from getting trash talked, not having things go her way during a fight, or having her hair damaged. It gets to the point where she can easily destroy everything in her area.
  • The Lad-ette: She prefers to be called "sir", rather than "sweetheart". And if you say otherwise, she'll crush your plums.
  • Missing Mom: Kana's mother, Aimi Fujiwara, ran off shortly after Kana was born. Finding her mother and figuring out why she left are two of Kana's goals.

Other Generation

Sora Shimizu

"I'm too young to go extinct!"

Sayaka's son from the future. He's timid and extremely cowardly. Afraid of the extinction of the Wolf race (i.e. himself), he's reluctant to fight on the front lines, but will put himself in danger for his friends. Has the loudest voice. His birthday is March 14th.

  • Adorkable"My foot is good luck!"
  • Affectionate Nickname: Ryoko calls him "Puppy". He doesn't find it so affectionate, at least at first.
  • The Chew Toy: To Ryoko, who enjoys tugging on his ears.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He suddenly becomes hyper-competent when Ryoko is in danger, fighting without his usual regard for his own life.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: Like Sayaka, his eyes glow when transformed.
  • Love Confession: "I love you! Let's repopulate my species! ...Uh, sorry. Was that awkward...?"
  • Playing Sick: He's not above doing so to avoid combat.
  • Super Senses: He's inherited Sayaka's incredibly strong sense of hearing.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: He's paranoid his father is cheating on Sayaka and believes that doing so will cause him to cease to exist. Not only is Sayaka's husband not cheating on her, doing so wouldn't have made him un-exist anyways - time travel is the "alternate timelines" variant rather than the "undoing the past" one.

Subaki Yukihara

Though he has mysterious vibes with his calm, old-fashioned manner of speaking, he actually has a bright and playful personality.

  • Antiquated Linguistics: Despite his youth, Subaki talks very formally and has old-fashioned speech patterns. Justified since he's a nobleman.
  • Fortune Teller: He uses cards and herbs to see the future.
  • The Hyena: One of his favorite past-times is relating funny stories about others, and is quite prone to having giggling fits over his own jokes and tales.

Kagero Yukihara

  • Creepy Child: Ryo's diary mentions that even as a baby, Kagero never cried or smiled.
  • Did You Think I Can't Feel?: There are several points where characters express surprise at Kagero showing emotion, which gives the chance to react with this.
    • When Subaki catches Kagero crying over Ryo's death he expresses surprise that she could cry over anything, though admits that was rude to say. She agrees it was.
    • Subaki will confess at one point that he thought Kagero was emotionless and didn't care about her family, and her response show her being hurt by that. He apologizes and says he knows differently now.
  • Heartbroken Badass:
    • She doesn't take Ryo's death well at all, it being the first time she ever manage to cry in her life.
