UA High

Class 1-A/Heights Alliance

    In General 
  • Fire-Forged Friends: Through thick and thin they become not just classmates, but teammates, friends, and even family.
  • Foil: To Vought's corporate heroes, especially The Seven. Both are groups of Celebrity Superheroes, but while The Seven are more focused on the celebrity (whether they want to or not), the Heights Alliance are focused more on being superheroes. Not to mention they have far more agency in how that celebrity status is run.
    • This is even exemplified in the two chapters detailing that celebrity status. The Seven's focus chapter is told purely from Queen Maeve's perspective in a dimly lit interview room and is titled "Everybody's Fool". Meanwhile, Heights Alliance's focus chapter is bright, cheerful, and has multiple viewpoints. Its title? "The Pride".
  • Passing the Torch: On the receiving end through various Time Skips. When the original Big Three ultimately graduate, Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki become the new UA Big Three.
  • True Companions: By the time they all graduate, they become a tight-knit superhero team unmarred by any of the drama from canon.
  • Welcomed to the Masquerade: Eventually they are all let in on the secret of One For All. Subverted in that its existence is shortly thereafter revealed to the whole world following All For One's permanent defeat.

    Izuku Midoriya 

Izuku Midoriya — Midorang

Quirk: Regeneration, One For All *

Object of Power: Zero Driver *

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_7515.png

The main hero of this tale and the ninth holder of an ancient power passed through generations.


  • Adaptational Badass: Instead of being born Quirkless, Izuku actually has a Quirk that gives him a Healing Factor that would make Deadpool jealous.
  • Adaptational Name Change: While Katsuki still calls him "Deku" (albeit in a more endearing light), Midoriya selects a different code name for his hero identity, now going by Midorang.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: Recent chapters of the manga finally revealed the last Quirk attached to One For All is called Gearshift, which increases the speed of anything the user touches. Since this story was written before that happened, the Quirk instead becomes one that allows Izuku to speak to either his direct ancestors, or his predecessors in One For All.
    • Mythology Gag: On the other hand, the Zero Driver does give him a Super-Speed Quirk in the form of Dash, though it's a more conventional form of super speed.
  • Appropriated Appelation: It was Endo Hound that first gave Midoriya the nickname Midorang, after his green color theme and the fact that he "always bounces back like a boomerang". He ultimately decides to choose that as his hero code name.
  • Arch-Enemy: Finds one in Tomura Shigaraki/Tenko Shimura/Infinite. The former Decay villain finds begrudging respect for Midoriya after the latter breaks his fingers to disable his Quirk.
  • Awesome by Analysis: It's been noted that his analyses have filled up half the cells in Tartarus Prison, and led to the dissolution of the Church of the Broken God.
  • Badass Boast: Delivers an epic one when Gentle Criminal asks him why he wants to be a hero.
    Midoriya: "For the sake of those that can't protect themselves. For the countless masses who cry out for a hero where none can be found. My dream was never my own! From the day my Quirk awakened... From the day I learned that my body is invincible... That's when my dream began! That I would be a hero for those that need one! A hero that can always be there, no matter what gets thrown at him! One that can show them a bright future! I am the man who will never die! I am the Invincible Hero of peace, love, and justice! I! AM! MIDORANG!"
  • Big Eater: His Quirk requires lots of calories to maintain itself, and his appetite gets even bigger once he receives One For All.
  • Body Horror: The downside to Midoriya's rapid healing is that he often winds up getting severely maimed early on. During the SCP Foundation's testing of his Quirk, they subjected him to a nuclear explosion, which left him briefly as just his central nervous system, protected by his skull and spine. He's had his face melted off twice (once when Shigaraki tried using Decay on him, and again when he was powering through Todoroki's flames). He once got his whole arm torn off. Two different villains have tried slicing him apart with blades, only for the cut to get stopped by his indestructible spine. Oh yeah, and he gets punched in the balls.
  • Combo Platter Powers: Between his natural Quirk, the Quirks attacked to One For All, and the Quirks loaded onto the Zero Driver, Midoriya comes equipped with a total of 34 Quirks!
  • Cursed with Awesome: Like in canon, having One For All means Midoriya's life will be cut short due to having a Quirk. Thing is, without it Regeneration would have given him a lifespan measured in centuries. With One For All, his lifespan is cut down to about a hundred years.
  • Empowered Badass Normal: Subverted in that he did have a Quirk prior to One For All, but due to years of training prior to that Midoriya had gotten strong enough to punch through steel sheet metal.
  • Establishing Character Moment: We get a good idea of just how powerful Midoriya's Regeneration is when it lets him shrug off a Quirk that can paralyze on contact. As a kid!
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: Surprisingly fulfills the Thief role of 1-A's Big Three, due to his variety of superpowers, though he's tankier than most thieves would be.
  • Healing Factor: His Regeneration Quirk allows him to heal from just about anything imaginable.
  • Heroic Lineage: He eventually learns that he's descended from Kamen Rider Zero-One, aka Aruto Hiden.
  • Killer Yoyo: When Valjean grants him a weapon license, he makes use of these for combat.
  • Lightning Bruiser: As fast as he is strong. Even Tenya has a hard time keeping up unless he pushes himself.
  • Logical Weakness: He has two:
    • His brain still needs oxygen to function. While he can recycle oxygen for longer than most people, he still needs to breathe eventually. It's conceivable that if someone could keep him suffocating for long enough, he would still die from necrosis.
    • His Regeneration requires huge amounts of calories to maintain. In a prolonged fight with someone more skilled than him, he can quickly tire out from exhaustion.
  • Mixed Martial Arts: Due to having trained for longer prior to receiving One For All, Midoriya relies on this instead of copying All Might's fighting style.
  • Mythology Gag: Midoriya eventually learns how to temporarily share One For All between multiple people via blood mixing, which might explain how it happened in My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising.
    • His weapon of choice, once he gets a license for them, is yo-yos, fulfilling a role similar to Sophia in Persona 5 Strikers.
  • Nigh-Invulnerable: Complementing his healing powers is an unbreakable skull and spinal column that can withstand just about anything, from nuclear explosions to Shigaraki's Decay.
  • Official Couple: With Ochaco.
  • Required Secondary Powers: He's trained himself to have a higher pain threshold since his Quirk only deals with physical injuries. He can also stockpile power over time as he takes damage, making it harder for him to get hurt a second time, a trait that was only improved once he got One For All.
  • Secretly Wealthy: Apparently his dad had told him about the family's connection to Hiden Intelligence, but Midoriya brushed it off as a joke. In reality, Midoriya is heir to a massive multi-billion yen company, possibly making his family richer than Shoto's, Ida's, or even Yaoyorozu's.
  • Semantic Superpower: Technically Midoriya's Quirk isn't defined as "heals all injuries", but rather "keeps the body in a state of perfect health". As is noted by Nezu, Midoriya's immune system is on hyper-drive, destroying any and all pathogens with ease. Any cancer cells immediately die off before they can gestate. Broken bones can reset themselves before healing. Any mental attacks on his brain just cause it to create new neural pathways to counteract it. His very DNA recovers faster than the free radicals can damage it. The only reason it counts as a healing factor is that physical injury is the number-one threat to one's health.
  • Superior Successor: Big time. From having access to a greater variety of Quirks to using a completely different fighting style, Midoriya is a league above his idol and mentor. This is best exemplified in his naming convention for his special moves. Instead of using American states and cities, Midoriya names his attacks after Japanese prefectures and cities.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Katsudon, as per canon. He orders a huge amount from Lunch Rush prior to the Shie Hassakai raid.

    Katsuki Bakugo 

Katsuki Bakugo — Dynamite

Quirk: Explosion

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bakugo.png

Izuku's best friend.


  • Adaptational Name Change: Unlike canon, Bakugo realizes for himself that "King Explosion Murder" is too violent of a code name for a hero. He instead goes for the much simpler (but still badass) code name of Dynamite.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: While still cocky, abrasive, and hot-headed, Katsuki keeps his temper in check much better than he ever did in canon.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: In canon, he and Itsuka Kendo never interacted. Here, they end up becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.
  • Arch-Enemy: Is paired off against Ableblade/SCP-076, both of them being the hot-blooded type.
  • The Beastmaster: Downplayed, but after the training camp Bakugo finds an affinity for an anomalous centipede called the cauterpiller/SCP-295, which finds his nitroglycerin sweat to be a delicacy and explodes when it ingests enough flammable materials. Bakugo starts keeping several in a new set of gauntlets to improve his explosive attacks.
  • Establishing Character Moment: The first scene with Midoriya and Bakugo shows just how different Bakugo is from canon. Not only is he still friends with Midoriya, but he's actually encouraging a Quirkless boy to not give up on himself. Canon!Bakugo wouldn't have been chasing that boy's bullies off, he'd have been the bully.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: Fulfills the Fighter role, no questions asked. He's by far the most combat-oriented of 1-A's Big Three.
  • Having a Blast: His Quirk allows him to create explosions from his hands. Through training, he learns to generate the nitroglycerin-based sweat required for his explosions on command.
  • Humble Hero: Takes his victory at the UA Sports Festival as just another step to getting stronger. It helps that his final fight in the tournament was against Midoriya instead of Todoroki, which was much more satisfying for him and one he only won by the skin of his teeth and by virtue of the tournament rules (he barely pushed Midoriya out of bounds).
  • Official Couple: With Itsuka Kendo.
  • Required Secondary Powers: He's highly resistant to explosive attacks because of his Quirk, though the blast wave of a bomb or mine going off can still stop him cold.
  • Secret-Keeper: Unlike in canon, he learns about One For All from the start alongside Izuku and helps keep it a secret.

    Ochaco Uraraka 

Ochaco Uraraka — Uravity

Quirk: Zero Gravity

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uraraka.png

A girl Izuku befriends at the UA Entrance Exam and who he ends up falling in love with.


  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: She winds up becoming a potential successor to Junko Asahi/Endo Hound, and interns with her instead of Gunhead.
  • Arch-Enemy: Just as her boyfriend Midoriya is arch-enemies with Infinite, Uraraka finds a nemesis in Infinite's girlfriend Foxfire/SCP-953.
  • Boring, but Practical: During the battle training, when Tenya reveals he removed anything in the room that Uraraka could use her Quirk on, she simply takes off her helmet and applies her Quirk to use it as a projectile.
  • Determinator: During the sports festival tournament, she continues to struggle against Bakugo until her body gives out. This causes Bakugo to declare her a true hero in front of the entire crowd, some of which had earlier thought she was too weak and that Bakugo was bullying her.
  • Gravity Master: She is able to remove gravity from anything she touches.
  • Official Couple: With Izuku.
  • Secret-Keeper: Izuku and Katsuki trust her enough to learn the secret of One For All along with Tenya.

    Tenya Ida 

Tenya Ida — Ingenium

Quirk: Engine

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ida_5.png

The younger brother of Tensei Ida AKA The Turbo Hero: Ingenium. Tenya ends up befriending Izuku after the latter clears up a misunderstanding at the UA Entrance Exam.


  • Adaptational Angst Downgrade: His brother Tensei is largely healed by fellow hero Depestilous, so Tenya has a much more meaningful hospital visit with him. Tensei's encouragement and stating his reasons for going into early retirement not only prevent Tenya from choosing to go after Stain for revenge, but it also inspires him to accept his brother's decision to let him take up the hero name Ingenium without reservation.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Unlike in canon, Tenya is made aware of Mei's original plan for him and suggests she show her Support gear off in a proper battle. Afterward, they become a couple sometime later.
  • Arch-Enemy: With the elderly Yule Man.
  • Official Couple: With Mei Hatsume.
  • Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: Inverted with his selected League of Villains rival, Yule Man/SCP-4666, who is an old man while Ida is a teenager.
  • Secret-Keeper: Izuku and Katsuki trust him enough to learn the secret of One For All along with Ochaco.
  • Super-Speed: Tenya has organic engines in his calves that allow him to move at faster speeds.

    Shoto Todoroki 

Shoto Todoroki — Freezerburn

Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/todoroki.png

The youngest child of the #2 Pro Hero, Endeavor.


  • Adaptational Name Change: Instead of going with just his name like in canon, Shoto chooses the hero alias of 'Freezerburn'.
  • Arch-Enemy: Is paired off against the villainess Vector/SCP-353, with his Quirk being the perfect way to counter hers.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: He fulfills the Mage role for 1-A's Big Three, due to his combination of ice and fire attacks.
  • Heel Realization: His experience in the Sports Festival convinces him to let go of his hatred and strive to be his own hero while accepting both sides of himself.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: When Midoriya awakens Blackwhip during the cavalry battle, Todoroki realizes the defense is too insurmountable to continue his original goal of settling their perceived feud then and there. He instead decides to wait until the final round and directs his team to find other targets instead.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Is this for Vector, since both his ice and his fire are effective at killing a majority of the pathogens she controls just from the temperature change.
  • Official Couple: With Momo.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: When we see him at an awards ceremony after a significant time skip, he's finally learned how properly emote, and he greets the crowd with a genuine smile.
  • Youngest Child Wins: Unlike his older brother, who wound up pushing himself so hard he snapped and turned to villainy (and was later murdered), Shoto is able to become a true hero, and on his own terms. Subverted as we learn he has a younger sibling on the way.

    Tsuyu Asui 

Tsuyu Asui — Froppy

Quirk: Frog

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asui.png

A frog-like girl who always speaks her mind.


  • Arch-Enemy: Quickly finds one in Innsmouth, who she encountered sometime before he ultimately joined the League of Villains.
  • Grievous Harm with a Body: She beats two Chaos Insurgency agents by using her tongue to throw one into the other.
  • Incorrect Animal Noise: Subverted. Asui is shown to be able to croak, and frogs do in fact croak. But only male frogs, while Asui is a woman. Justified in that her Quirk lets her do anything a frog can, gender be damned.
  • Innate Night Vision: She's able to see even in the dark, just like a frog can.
  • Scissors Cuts Rock: Her Logical Weakness is that she can't function well in cold environments, yet she still manages to beat a villain with cold-based superpowers.
  • Semantic Superpower: She can literally do just about anything a frog can do, which is much more versatile than it sounds.
  • Super-Senses: Like a real frog, she has enhanced hearing and sight. She can even bulge her eyes out of her head to see even better.
  • Super Spit: One of her attacks involves launching a toxic spit from her mouth that's similar to the substance found in a poison dart frog.
  • Took a Level in Badass: During her first encounter with Innsmouth during the internship, Tsu could barely stay alive. Later during the work study, she encounters Innsmouth again while he's a member of the League of Villains. This time she mops the floor with him.
  • Truth in Television: Froppy using her croak to get the attention of her team is similar to how frogs croak to attract attention. But as Deep observes, it's typically meant to be a mating call.

    Eijiro Kirishima 

Eijiro Kirishima — Red Riot

Quirk: Hardening

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kirishima2.png

An energetic and passionate boy who strives to uphold the standards of manliness.


  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Unlike in canon, where Katsuki blew him off in the beginning, here they hit it off from the start.
  • Arch-Enemy: Wolfram, which surprises him since, while Kirishima was involved in the I-Island incident, the two of them had never met prior to Wolfram joining the League of Villains.
  • Bash Brothers: With Katsuki, who essentially becomes his best friend.
  • Boring, but Practical: He shows concerns that his Quirk isn't flashy, but Midoriya assures him his Quirk is perfectly functional for a hero chosen to attend UA.
  • Game Show Host: During his hero career he doubles as the host for an Expy of the obstacle course show Ultimate Beastmaster.
  • Lightning Bruiser: He's focused more on defense and he's obviously not as fast as Midoriya or Ida, but he's hardly slow and he can hit like a truck.
  • Nice Guy: He's a very passionate and supportive guy.
  • Official Couple: With Mina.
  • Secret-Keeper: He and Tokoyami are later let in on the secret of One For All.

    Fumikage Tokoyami 

Fumikage Tokoyami — Tsukuyomi

Quirk: Dark Shadow

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tokoyami_7.png

A boy with the head of a crow who enjoys the dark and macabre yet strives to be a hero.


  • Arch-Enemy: Finds a perfect Foil in Daybreaker/SCP-001, their Quirks being evenly matched due to opposing light and shadow qualities.
  • Chuunibyou: He enjoys dark and edgy things and also speaks with a very dramatic dark style. However, he's a legitimately good-hearted person all the same.
  • Happily Married: He gets married to Reiko sometime after graduation.
  • Living Shadow: His Quirk grants him a symbiotic partner in the form of Dark Shadow, who he considers his brother.
  • Secret-Keeper: He and Kirishima are later let in on the secret of One For All.
  • True Companions: He is welcomed into Izuku and Katsuki's friend group from the very beginning with open arms, which makes him happy, especially when they let him indulge in his Chunni nature.

    Minoru Mineta 

Minoru Mineta — Grape Juice

Quirk: Pop Off

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mineta.png

A perverted dwarfish boy who, despite his lecherous behavior, strives to be a hero all the same.


  • Adaptational Nice Guy: His perverted behavior is toned down to much more manageable levels compared to canon.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Instead of Jiro despising his existence, Mineta ends up forming a relationship with her.
  • Arch-Enemy: His League of Villains counterpart is Jackie/SCP-1903, an attractive Playboy Bunny with a matching mask.
  • Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: When he finds the hole in the gym lockers, he goes on about each female classmate's charms. When he gets hit by Jiro's Earphone Jack, he complains that there was a reason he never mentioned her, implying he was already getting a serious crush on her.
  • Cowardly Lion: Despite the constant danger he faces and the fear he suffers because of it, Mineta strives to keep on fighting no matter what.
  • Do Wrong, Right: During the hot spring scene at the training camp, he doesn't yell at Kota for blocking his path to paradise. He yells at him for doing so in a way that could get Kota hurt or killed.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Perverted as he is, even he gets repulsed by The Deep.
  • Heel Realization: He quickly picks up on the fact that his perverted streak could lead to expulsion due to sexual harassment if he's not careful, so he tries to tone it down. It ultimately works.
  • Official Couple: With Jiro, surprisingly enough.

    Denki Kaminari 

Denki Kaminari — Chargebolt

Quirk: Electrification

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/denki_kaminari_6.png

An easy-going guy who can produce and dispense electricity.


  • Adaptational Badass: He learns much more precise control with his electricity compared to canon.
  • Adaptational Intelligence: Downplayed. He's still a lovable idiot but he actually manages to avoid going over his wattage limit at the USJ, avoiding going stupid in the process.
  • Arch-Enemy: His matchup in the League of Villains is Herr Chirurg/SCP-542, whom he can usually beat easily due to the man's Frankenstein-based body being especially susceptible to electricity.
  • Boring, but Practical: Two of his early victories rely on this. For Mayumi, he simply calls out one attack while launching a much weaker attack to throw her off. And with Nezu he just overloads the crane the principal is using, letting Ashido finish the job.
  • Exactly What I Aimed At: He fires one of his disks at Shishikura, not to hit him, but to channel his Thunder Sniper special move.
  • Man of Kryptonite: He proves to be this for Herr Chirurg since his body is vulnerable to electric shocks due to essentially being a patch job.
    • He's also this for Translucent, who maintains his canon weakness to electricity due to his pure carbon skin.
  • Official Couple: He starts dating Mayumi after the sports festival.
  • Shock and Awe: He's able to produce and dispense electricity from his body, making him a human tesla coil. However, if he overdoes his wattage limit, it leaves him temporarily braindead.

    Yuga Aoyama 

Yuga Aoyama — Captain Sparkle

Quirk: Sparkling Laser note 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuga_aoyama_full_body_uniform_9.png

A flamboyant and flashy Franco-Japanese young man who can shoot lasers from his stomach and later any part of his body.


  • Adaptational Badass: His Quirk evolves to the point that not only does he no longer suffer stomach complications, but he can fire his lasers from any part of his body.
  • Adaptational Heroism: Downplayed in that he was never evil in canon but here, he was born with his Quirk, meaning All for One never made him his mole at UA.
  • Adaptational Name Change: Instead of the bizarre name of "Can't Stop Twinkling", Aoyama goes with a more normal-sounding hero code name, Captain Sparkle.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Instead of just giving Izuku a passing greeting during the Entrance Exam, they actually work together to both procure points and help out their fellow examinees.
  • Arch-Enemy: Operatic/SCP-035. Their first battle ultimately culminated in Aoyama's Quirk evolving from Navel Laser to Sparkling Laser.
  • Kayfabe: He actually takes hero work very seriously, and his "sparkling" personality is just for flair and drama.
  • Official Couple: With Hagakure.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Unlike in canon, he enjoys the beef dishes served by Lunch Rush.

    Momo Yaoyorozu 

Momo Yaoyorozu — Creati

Quirk: Creation

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c_chara_main10_1.png

A girl from a wealthy family who, despite her responsible appearance, is actually much more insecure than people realize.


  • Adaptational Modesty: Her hero outfit is noted to cover a bit more than canon.
  • Arch-Enemy: Finds one in Toxic Chainsaw, whose Tools Arms Quirk works similarly to her own Creation Quirk.
  • Broken Ace: When Katsuki dresses down her views on how one should learn to be a Hero and following her humiliating defeat to Fumikage in the Sports Festival, her self-esteem takes a huge nosedive. Thankfully, Foresight/SCP-187 helps build back up her confidence.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: Her earlier costumes required her to partially remove parts of it to create bigger objects.
  • Instant Armor: Her ultimate move, Armor Manifest, covers her entire body in steel armor that is strong enough to withstand sustained damage.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She's arguably the most attractive girl in the class.
  • My Suit Is Also Super: She eventually switches to a costume made from genetic fibers so that she can use her Quirk through the fabric without having to disrobe.
  • Official Couple: With Shoto.
  • Spoiled Sweet: Despite her wealthy upbringing, she's a very nice girl.

    Kyoka Jiro 

Kyoka Jiro — Earphone Jack

Quirk: Earphone Jack

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyoka_jiro_full_body_uniform_3.png

A punkish girl with a taste for music.


  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Instead of despising Mineta's existence, Jiro actually ends up forming a relationship with him.
  • Arch-Enemy: Her opponent in the League of Villains is Grafitti/SCP-1155.
  • Beautiful Singing Voice: Jiro is shown to have a truly beautiful singing voice that leaves everyone who hears it floored.
  • Brown Note: When her jacks are plugged into her hero costume's speakers, her heartbeat can create a frequency that messes with the equilibrium of anyone who hears it.
  • Official Couple: With Mineta, strangely enough.
  • Super-Senses: Hearing, natch. She can even hear through thick walls by plugging her jacks into a solid object.

    Mina Ashido 

Mina Ashido — Alien Queen

Quirk: Acid

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mina_ashido_full_body_school_uniform_4.png

A peppy and sociable girl who knows how to make friends with everybody.


  • Adaptational Name Change: Here, she manages to keep her initial Hero Name idea of Alien Queen.
  • Arch-Enemy: She finds a good rival in Magne, even complimenting her after her completed sex change surgery.
  • Cheery Pink: She has pink skin and is a cheerful bundle of energy.
  • Genki Girl: She's easily one of the most hyperactive and cheerfullest girls in Class 1-A.
  • Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Does this to Johanna when she freaks out in the creepy Okinawa Underworld.
  • Green-Skinned Space Babe: The image she was going for when choosing the name "Alien Queen", instead of the xenomorphs Midnight was imagining.
  • Fights Like a Normal: She picked up this habit to limit the circumstances in which her Quirk is necessary.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She's not called the Glamorous Hero for nothing.
    • Innocent Fanservice Girl: That said, she can show off at the most inappropriate times without thinking, such as when Kota accidentally caught her out of the water (without a towel) during the hot springs scene at the training camp. It counts as this trope because she might not have been aware that Kota was mature enough to understand nudity taboos, something that likely would have happened having been raised by four women and a trans man.
  • Official Couple: With Kirishima.

    Toru Hagakure 

Toru Hagakure — Invisible Girl

Quirk: Invisibility

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tooru.jpg

A girl who can turn herself invisible and is always quite cheerful and willing to crack a joke or two.


  • Adaptational Attractiveness: Is this by definition, since in this story it's actually possible to see her face and not just her curvaceous outline.
  • Adaptational Modesty: She actually wears a Hero Costume in this story that turns invisible with her instead of running around in just a pair of gloves and boots.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: She's able to turn her invisibility on and off instead of having it permanently on.
  • Arch-Enemy: Her chosen opponent is Cockatrice/SCP-1013, which is bad news for him since he can only turn something to stone if he can see it.
  • Composite Character: Of herself and SCP-347.
  • Genki Girl: She's cheerful, hyperactive, and always willing to make jokes.
  • Invisibility: She's able to turn herself invisible by bending light around herself.
  • Official Couple: With Aoyama.

    Hanta Sero 

Hanta Sero — Cellophane

Quirk: Tape

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hanta_sero_full_body_uniform_9.png

A chipper down-on-his-luck boy who can create tape from his elbows, which is much more useful than it sounds.


  • Arch-Enemy: Winds up paired off against Twice, with his Quirk proving effective at keeping the villain's numerous copies contained.
  • Building Swing: One of the many practical uses for his Quirk, allowing him to swing like a certain wall-crawling webhead.
  • Didn't See That Coming: He's understandably flustered when he learns that Akane, Valjean's daughter, is not only his biggest fan but also has a crush on him.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: The ability to shoot tape out of one's elbows sounds ridiculous, but in Sero's hands, it's never been more useful.
  • Nice Guy: He's an all-around friendly guy who gets along with everybody.
  • Running Gag: After both Mineta and Kaminari get girlfriends, it often winds up being Sero who says something regarding romantic jealousy, upon which either Mineta, Kaminari, or even both, will call out how he really needs a girlfriend.

    Mezo Shoji 

Mezo Shoji — Tentacole

Quirk: Dupli-Arms

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mezo_shoji_full_body_uniform_9.png

A tall young man who, despite his intimidating appearance, is actually one of the gentlest members of Class 1-A.


  • Arch-Enemy: His League of Villains rival is Waldo/SCP-4885. Turns out his Quirk is capable of bypassing anti-memetic powers.
  • Face of a Thug: Despite his imposing appearance, Shoji is actually one of the kindest students in Class 1-A.
  • Gentle Giant: He's the tallest in his whole class and he's a pretty nice guy.
  • Man of Kryptonite: The Super-Senses that his additional eyes and ears create can let him observe those with anti-memetic Quirks, such as Waldo's Find Him.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Not just arms, but any body part he can imagine, like ears, teeth, and mouths.

    Mashirao Ojiro 

Mashirao Ojiro — Tailman

Quirk: Tail

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mashirao_ojiro_full_body_uniform_6.png

A boy with a thick and strong tail and martial arts skills.


  • Arch-Enemy: Gear Woman/SCP-2878. Both are martial arts-oriented, and Ojiro's tail is strong enough to damage Gear Woman's mechanical suit.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: Aside from his tail, Ojiro doesn't have much going for him but makes up for that in martial arts prowess.
  • Boring, but Practical: His tail isn't the flashiest Quirk, but it gets the job done all the same.
  • Forgot Flanders Could Do That: With how generic he is, it can be easy to forget that A, his tail is a potent fifth limb, and B, he's a champion-level martial artist to the point where all five of his limbs have been registered as lethal weapons.
  • The Generic Guy: A problem he has is that he doesn't stand out as much amongst his peers.

    Koji Koda 

Koji Koda — Anima

Quirk: Anivoice

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koji_koda_full_body_uniform.png

A timid boy with a rock-shaped head who has an affinity for animals, both naturally and with his Quirk.


  • Adaptational Badass: He ends up adopting two animals with Quirks during the training camp and they essentially become his fighting partners.
  • Arch-Enemy: His League of Villains opponent is Gorefield/SCP-3166, with his animal buddies Bugsy/SCP-1055 and Felix/SCP-247 helping tremendously in this regard.
  • Beary Friendly/Bears Are Bad News: Koda's friend Bugsy, a Japanese black bear with an Energy Claws Quirk. He's friendly towards Koda's friends but will prove why bears are dangerous when facing villains.
  • The Beastmaster: He can communicate with and give commands to animals. During the training camp, he picks up two animals that actually have Quirks.
  • Cute Kitten: His cat Felix is a sweet little tabby who will only attack on Koda's orders using his Alpha Feline Quirk, which gives him a tiger-shaped Battle Aura.
  • Gentle Giant: He's quite big, though not as tall as Shoji, and he's arguably the gentlest boy in Class 1-A.
  • Official Couple: He's seen dating Komori years after their graduation.
  • Rock Monster: He doesn't look monstrous, but his head does have a bizarre rock-like shape.

    Rikido Sato 

Rikido Sato — Sugarman

Quirk: Sugar Rush

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rikido_sato_full_body_uniform_8.png

A strong boy who has a penchant for baking sweets, which goes well with his Quirk.


  • Arch-Enemy: Bad Humor/SCP-490. This proves to be a bad matchup for her since her Dairy Creation Quirk just fuels Sato's Sugar Rush.
  • The Big Guy: He's the second tallest student in the class behind Shoji and he's quite a fearsome fighter.
  • Gag Lips: He has uniquely large lips, almost like that of Kinnikuman.
  • Hulking Out: He gets bigger, buffer, and stronger the more sugar he ingests. However, too much sugar lowers his cognitive functions.
  • Lightning Bruiser: By the time he becomes a full-fledged hero, he only needs a couple of sugar packs to move at supersonic speeds and hit with the force of a freight train.
  • Nice Guy: He's a pretty swell fellow.
  • Real Men Cook: He's a truly talented baker, which helps with his Quirk.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Baked goods, though he also likes Choroi's ice cream.

Class 1-B

    General 
  • A Day in the Limelight: Part of the Vought arc involves giving Class 1-B a chance to shine now that they've become heroes.
  • Demoted to Extra: Outside of a few characters like Shinso, Class 1-B doesn't get as much focus as canon.

    Hitoshi Shinso 

Hitoshi Shinso — Mindblank

Quirk: Brainwashing

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c_chara_main43_1.png

A young man originally from General Ed who's moved to Class 1-B after displaying admiral performance in the Sports Festival.


  • Ascended Extra: Getting promoted to Class 1-B gives him far more screentime, such as showing up during the Meta Liberation Army arc.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: You wouldn't think being able to brainwash someone with your voice would be a superpower designed for a hero. Yet even pro heroes admit Shinso's Quirk makes him perfect for containing villains non-violently.
  • Cloth Fu: After becoming a hero, he starts using a carbon-nanofiber capture scarf, just like his idol Aizawa.
  • Compelling Voice: His Quirk allows him to brainwash those who verbally respond to him.
  • Curb Stomp Cushion: With Midoriya's greater control of One For All, and his brain being able to resist mind control via growing new neural pathways, Shinso was never gonna win against him. Yet during their fight in the sports festival, he is able to use Brainwashing to slow Midoriya down just enough to keep the fight from lasting less than a second.
  • Didn't Think This Through: During the entrance exam, he thought he had to somehow use his Quirk to deal with the robots during the practical, but didn't know how to without sacrificing points to other students he brainwashed into fighting for him. But as Midoriya noted, the robots were actually designed to be shut down manually if a examinee didn't have a Quirk capable of outright destroying them (and that's not even getting into the Rescue Points system).
  • Graceful Loser: After getting a pep talk from Midoriya about how useful his Quirk can be for hero work, Shinso takes his loss in stride. It contributes to him replacing Monoma in Class 1-B.
  • Official Couple: With Himiko Toga.

    Itsuka Kendo 

Itsuka Kendo — Battle Fist

Quirk: Big Fist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/itsuka_kendo_anime.png

The Class Representative of Class 1-B.


  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: She and Katsuki barely interacted in canon. Here, they are an Official Couple.
  • Battle Couple: According to Bakugo, he never goes on a mission without her.
  • Dope Slap: Gives this to Monoma when he tries belittling Class 1-A.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Cuts a rather stunning figure in either her hero costume or the dress she wears for the culture festival's beauty pageant.
  • Mythology Gag: During an attack on the Chaos Insurgency, she uses her giant hands to blow away a smoke screen the same way she does Mustard's gas in canon.
  • Official Couple: With Katsuki.

    Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu 

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu — Real Steel

Quirk: Steel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tetsutetsu_tetsutetsu_anime.png

A passionate young man with some similarities to Kirishima.


  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: He's the offense to Kirishima's defense. More often than not it works for him.
  • Chrome Champion: When he activates his Quirk, his body becomes coated in a solid metal sheen.
  • Foil: During his hero career he comes up with an ultimate technique that's the perfect foil to Kirishima's Unbreakable ultimate. Called Unstoppable, it hardens Tetsutetsu's skin and sharpens the angles, turning him into something like a reverse Iron Maiden.
  • Logical Weakness: His Quirk can only function if he has sufficient iron in his bloodstream. This contributes to him losing to Kirishima (who only has to contend with a time limit on his Quirk) in their arm wrestling tie-breaker during the sports festival.
  • Official Couple: He's started dating Tokage, as seen after graduation.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: His reaction to Izuku awakening Blackwhip during the Cavalry Battle.

    Ibara Shiozaki 

Ibara Shiozaki — Vine

Quirk: Vines

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ibara_shiozaki_anime.png

A pious and religious girl who can control the vines that make up her hair.


  • Demoted to Extra: She doesn't get to partake in the final tournament of the sports festival, unlike in canon.
  • Everyone Has Standards: She doesn't require everyone around her to be as devout as she is, and doesn't want to come off as fanatical in her beliefs. She decided against using Mary for a code name, and years later in Brazil, she lets it slide when she sees the League girls indulging in huge amounts of ice cream (which would normally constitute gluttony in her eyes) since the hot climate means they'd need such a cold treat.
  • For Want Of A Nail: Not participating in the tournament means Kaminari faces Support Course student Mayumi Goto, which proves a good matchup for him and lets him reach the quarterfinal.
  • No-Sell: One Chaos Insurgency trooper caught in her hair tries to shock it off using static electricity, only for it to do nothing.
  • Badass Pacifist: She prefers not to fight, but isn't afraid to roughly contain villains using her Quirk.
  • Token Religious Teammate: She's a devout Christian, which she notes is rare not just in Japan, but in superhero society in general.

    Kosei Tsuburaba 

Kosei Tsuburaba — Exosphere

Quirk: Solid Air

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kosei_tsuburaba_anime.png

A walleyed young man who can solidify the air he breathes.


  • Adaptational Name Change: He couldn't decide on a Hero Name in canon. Here, he chooses Exosphere.
  • Took a Level in Badass: He's trained his lungs so well that Solid Air is strong enough to contain combat mechs. It does start to fail when he tries to contain Soldier Boy, however.

    Kinoko Komori 

Kinoko Komori — Shemage

Quirk: Mushroom

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kinoko_komori_anime.png

A silly, eccentric girl with a love of mushroom puns.


  • Beware the Silly Ones: She's a pun-loving, adorable, bundle of sunshine... Who can cover anyone in fungus that can easily drain their energy.
  • Official Couple: With Koji.
  • Pungeon Master: She loves making mushroom puns. In fact, they take up a lot of her vocabulary.

    Nirengeki Shoda 

Nirengeki Shoda — Mines

Quirk: Twin Impact

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nirengeki_shouda_anime.png

The Vice-President of Class 1-B. A humble and responsible boy who can create second, more powerful impacts on anything.


  • Acrofatic: Like canon, he can move way faster than his girth would suggest.
  • Ascended Extra: He and Kendo actually help Midoriya and Bakugo take down Muscular.
  • Eye Scream: He manages to hit Muscular in his vulnerable ocular nerve. And because of how his Quirk functions, he hits the villain twice over.

    Reiko Yanagi 

Reiko Yanagi — Emily

Quirk: Poltergeist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reiko_yanagi_anime.png

A spooky girl with a verbose way of speaking.


  • Chuunibyou: As much of one as her husband.
  • Creepy Good: She's a hero through and through, and her relationship with Fumikage is a healthy one. That doesn't stop her from freaking out an entire unit of Chaos Insurgency soldiers when they try intruding on the young couple's love nest.
  • Happily Married: With Fumikage.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: When she sees Yukiteru and Yuno trying to fight Boar, she simply offers them an internship before granting them permission to use their Quirks.
  • Semantic Superpower: Her Quirk lets her telekinetically control anything up to the size of a human being. Weight, however, is no issue, as is proven when she blocks Boar's ballistic assault using several heavy steel plates.

    Jurota Shishida 

Jurota Shishida — Gevaudan

Quirk: Beast

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jurota_shishida_anime.png

A beastly-looking young man with a gentlemanly disposition.


  • Composite Character: Of himself and SCP-1000.
  • Genius Bruiser: He's an eloquent and sophisticated individual, who is strong enough to grapple Herr Chirurg to a standstill while in Ubermensch mode.

    Pony Tsunotori 

Pony Tsunotori — Rocketti

Quirk: Horn Cannon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pony_tsunotori_anime.png

A sweet-natured girl with horse-like features who transferred from America.


  • Tag Team: With Awase against the Chaos Insurgency, redirecting one of their bombs using her horn. The bomb itself got tagged with Awase's Quirk, letting it stick to the horn to prevent escape.

    Yosetsu Awase 

Yosetsu Awase — Welder

Quirk: Weld

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yosetsu_awase_anime.png

A loud-mouthed yet brave and honorable young man who can weld two things together at an atomic level.


  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Inflicts this on one of the Chaos Insurgency's Special Task Group members by tagging their superpower-created bomb with his Quirk (the insurgent was empowered by Compound V), then launching it back via one of Rocketti's horns.
  • Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Uses his Quirk to create effective riot shields when dealing with agents of the Chaos Insurgency during the Vought arc.

    Yui Kodai 

Yui Kodai — Rule

Quirk: Size

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yui_kodai_anime.png

A stoic and quiet girl who can alter the size of anything she touches.


  • Expy: The way she pulls out her combat staff is similar to Sun Wukong and his Ruyi Jingu Bang, with the exception that said staff could grow on its own by Wukong's will, whereas Kodai here is just applying her Quirk.
  • Fights Like a Normal: She makes use of shrunken tools for combat, including her staff.
  • Otaku: For tokusatsu-type heroes, especially early Super Sentai.

    Hiryu Rin 

Hiryu Rin — Dragon Shroud

Quirk: Scales

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiryuu_rin_anime.png

A boy hailing from China who can grow reptilian scales for offense and defense.


  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Delivers this to Magne when she tries using her Quirk on Rule, only for her to dodge and Rin to get tagged instead. While his Quirk is still active, no less.
  • Shout-Out: One of his attacks is named after Shenron.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: When he sees the harsh training Class 1-A is going through during the training camp, he gets worried about what his own class is in for.

    Juzo Honenuki 

Juzo Honenuki — Mudman

Quirk: Softening

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juzo_honenuki_anime.png

A boy with a skeletal face who can soften anything he touches.


  • Face of a Thug: He's a nice guy and a genuine hero, but his skeletal visage visibly unnerved A-Train when he first saw it.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Proves to be one for Graffiti, since he needs solid ground to use his Quirk.
    • Also proves to be one for A-Train, his Quirk making the ground too unstable for A-Train to properly run.
  • Took a Level in Badass: As a hero, he proves powerful enough to soften a building as large as UA High School.

    Kuroiro Shihai 

Kuroiro Shihai — Vantablack

Quirk: Black

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shihai_kuroiro_anime.png

A tricky young man with jet-black skin who can merge into anything dark or covered in shadows and move freely through them.


  • Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is jet-black, making him look like a living shadow.
  • Reality Warper: A downplayed example. While merged into anything dark he is capable of changing his size and warping his various body parts to any shadow connected to the original point of insertion.
  • This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Downplayed. While his Quirk can only function while there's something dark in the area, he can make use of actual Vantablack material to bring darkness to him.

    Setsuna Tokage 

Setsuna Tokage — Lizardy

Quirk: Lizard Tail Splitter

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/setsuna_tokage_anime.png

A chatty and wisecracking young woman who can split her body apart into several pieces for reconnaissance and combat purposes.


  • Creepy Good: As Tsubaraba noted, all Tokage has to do to freak someone out is remove her head and stick it on a low tree branch. Yet she's just as much of a hero as the rest of the team.
  • Eye Scream: Stormfront manages to destroy one of her eyes while she's split apart. Luckily it can grow back, though it does take a while to do so.
  • Official Couple: With Tetstetsu.
  • Shout-Out: She's copied Miss Fortune's Fifth of Dismember attack for her ultimate.

    Manga Fukidashi 

Manga Fukidashi — Comicman

Quirk: Comic

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manga_fukidashi_anime.png

A boy with a comic speech bubble for a head who can manifest onomatopoeias that manifest the effect of what they are based on.


  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: The ability to create onomatopoeias is far more useful than it first sounds since it gives Manga limited control over the weather and even people's mental states.
  • Lethal Joke Character: His ability sounds silly on paper, but out of his group he's the one who takes out the most Chaos Insurgency troops.
  • Semantic Superpower: You'd think Manga's power only involves creating sound effects for things like elemental attacks. But he can even use his Quirk to affect a person's mental state just by hitting them with a sound effect for being dizzy or confused.

    Sen Kaibara 

Sen Kaibara — Spiral

Quirk: Gyrate

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sen_kaibara_anime.png

A serious and quite proud boy who can spin any part of his body like a drill.


  • Megaton Punch: Which is even more damaging due to his hand spinning like a drill. It's strong enough to bypass Soldier Boy's Super-Toughness and knock the wind out of him.
  • Semantic Superpower: Most people might think his Quirk is just about turning his body into a living drill. But as it turns out, he can actually create small whirlwinds by spinning his body parts at a high enough speed.

    Togaru Kamakiri 

Togaru Kamakiri — Jack Mantis

Quirk: Razor Sharp

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/togaru_kamakiri_anime_profile_6.png

A hot-headed boy with the appearance of a praying mantis who can sprout blades from any part of his body.


  • Blade Below the Shoulder: Creates a pair of blades from his arms to slice apart several guns.
  • Blood Knight: He was ready to throw down with Black Noir even after the Chaos Insurgency cell was taken out, until Bakugo confirmed Black Noir had evolved from homo cumulatus (super-abled human) to homo superior (Quirked human).
  • Parrying Bullets: He moves so fast that he's able to do this with machine gun fire, Kabal-style.

    Kojiro Bondo 

Kojiro Bondo — Plamo

Quirk: Cemedine

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kojiro_bondo_anime_profile.png

A boy with a glue dispenser-shaped head who is actually much more shy and gentle than his appearance would have you believe.


  • Jaw Drop: Since he doesn't have visible eyes, he does this when Deep mentions encountering a girl with the ability to control feces.
  • Shout-Out: His Kragle Blast is one to The LEGO Movie.

Other Students

    Mei Hatsume 

Mei Hatsume

Quirk: Zoom

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hatsume_0.png

An eccentric young woman from the Support Course.


  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: She gets two during the sports festival:
    • During the cavalry battle, she gets blocked from being on Midoriya's team when he instantly gets one with Bakugo, Tenya, and Uraraka. Instead, Mei settles for Todoroki's team.
    • Tenya gets wise to her scheme during the tournament, thanks in large part to her classmate Mayumi, and is convinced to showcase her gadgets in battle personally. It works out so well that she practically falls in love with Tenya.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Her Support tech is actually quite impressively made.
  • The Maiden Name Debate: It's implied that she and Tenya eventually married after graduation, but that she kept her maiden name since her new company is called the "Ida-Hatsume Corporation".
  • Official Couple: With Tenya. Years after their graduation, they're even ready to become parents, with Mei already several months pregnant.
  • Smooch of Victory: Gives Tenya one after he wins their fight as thanks for helping her catch the eye of the major corporations watching the sports festival.

    Himiko Toga 

Himiko Toga — Red Shift

Quirk: Transform

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/himiko_7.png

A former villain who was rescued and adopted by Vlad King.


  • Adaptational Heroism: Here, she was rescued by Vlad King before the League of Villains could scout her out, allowing her to become a probationary hero.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Having Vlad King as an adopted father did wonders for Toga's sanity.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: She never even encounters Twice, thus the two never wind up as friends.
  • Didn't See That Coming: When her Quirk evolved during the fight with Moonfish, she immediately changed into Midoriya to take advantage of his Regeneration Quirk. Doing so let her experience One For All by accident.
  • Official Couple: With Hitoshi.
  • Required Secondary Powers: She can choose which parts of her transform first, which can help if the target has their Quirk in a certain part of their body. Deconstructed when she falls victim to Tenya's Required Secondary Powers (his larger body) during the fight with Curious. Tenya's body is built to handle extreme g-force, while Toga's smaller frame is battered in the few seconds prior to the complete transformation.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to Curious, outlining all the flaws of the Meta Liberation Army's ideology.
  • Took a Level in Badass: She learns how to copy the Quirks of people she transforms into during the fight with Moonfish, instead of much later against Curious.

    Mayumi Goto 

Mayumi Goto

Quirk: Quirkless

Object of Power: Gyrfalcon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mayumi_6.jpg

A member of the Support Course who manages to act as a big nail for UA during the Sports Festival. Based on SCP-2806.


  • Artificial Limbs: Her titular Gyrfalcon, which also replaces her lost eyes and ears.
  • Body Horror: Was subjected to this during a villain attack sometime prior to joining UA. The Gyrfalcon helped her become whole again.
  • Electronic Eyes: Part of the Gyrfalcon's loadout.
  • Handicapped Badass: Downplayed since she's in the support course, but she does reach the final tournament in the sports festival, showing just how capable the Gyrfalcon is and how well she can use it.
  • I Gave My Word: She's so confident that she can beat Kaminari that she offers him a date if she loses. When that happens, she keeps to her promise. Though Mei notes Mayumi already found Kaminari attractive.
  • Logical Weakness: Like any machine, the Gyrfalcon is vulnerable to electrical overload. But it's so sophisticated it takes someone of Kaminari's power level to short it out.
  • Official Couple: She starts dating Kaminari after the sports festival.
  • Un-Sorcerer: She's actually Quirkless, which contributed to the incident that took her limbs.
  • Heroism Motive Speech: During the cavalry battle she notes that she's just fine acting as support, as she'll feel like a hero either way.
  • We Can Rebuild Him: Luckily for her, she has family in Anderson Robotics, who used their vast technology to repair her broken body after a villain attack.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Invoked. During her fight with Kaminari in the sports festival, he manages to trick her by calling out his most powerful special attack... Only to use a lower wattage, knowing she wouldn't fall for the same trick twice (she'd previously been hit with said special attack during the cavalry battle). He then goes all out when she thinks he's overloaded himself.

    Mirio Togata 

Mirio Togata — Lemillion

Quirk: Permeation

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mirio_togata_anime_2.png

A Third Year Student and leader of The Big Three of UA.


  • Achievements in Ignorance: He didn't even know the anomaly behind Return of the Suburb Slasher, yet he still stumbled upon the means to save the Final Girl (Bridgette in this case) and bring her and her family into the real world.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: He still becomes good friends with Midoriya, but here they aren't part of the same agency.
  • Female Gaze: He's certainly a hunk, to the point that Nejire, who already has a boyfriend, can't help but admire him.
  • Generation Xerox: His similarities to All Might are already well-known, and Valjean at one point notes that All Might basically gave One For All to an Expy of Sir Nighteye when he chose Midoriya. The two easily work off each other the same way, except both are heroes in their own right from the start.
  • Hour of Power: During the Shie Hassakai raid, Midorang briefly shares One For All with him in an effort to overwhelm Overhaul. It works.
  • Mythology Gag: Some fanfics actually have Mirio inherit One For All like Sasaki originally intended. Here, he gets a taste of what that might have been like when Midoriya learns how to share his power with others temporarily.
  • Official Couple: With Bridgette.
  • Passing the Torch: After the first Time Skip leading into the second summer vacation arc, he, Tamaki, and Nejire have graduated, leaving Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki as the new Big Three of UA.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Subverted in that he doesn't actually die in canon, but here he never loses his Quirk to Overhaul's Quirk-erasing bullets.
  • Victory by Endurance: His greater experience lets him wear down Midoriya as he runs out of calories to fuel himself. Even then, Mirio is impressed that Midoriya doesn't have a scratch on him.

    Tamaki Amajiki 

Tamaki Amajiki — Suneater

Quirk: Manifest

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tamaki_amajiki_anime.png

Toshinori Yagi — All Might

Quirk: Maximize, One For All, Danger Sensenote 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/all_might_hero_form_full_body_9.png
Click here to see his real self

The #1 Hero in Japan and Symbol of Peace and the eighth holder of an ancient power that he passes down to Izuku.


  • Action Dad: Is still active as a hero after he and Junko adopt Eri. Subverted with his biological son Mamoru, since he's officially retired by that point.
  • Adaptational Badass: Instead of being Quirkless before getting One For All, he was born with a Quirk that increases his muscle mass and physical capabilities, which better explains his buff form when using One For All.
  • Celebrity Superhero: Points out how important this actually is to hero work, since a recognized hero is a hero that gives hope to the people.
  • Like Father, Like Son: His son Mamoru also has a Maximize Quirk. Subverted in that Mamoru's version works similar to how Midoriya uses it through One For All, increasing muscle density instead of muscle mass.
  • Loophole Abuse: Normally, having a Quirk while bearing One For All would cut one's lifespan short. But thanks to having his lifespan effectively increased due to fellow hero Depestilous (using his Cellular Manipulation Quirk to heal all of Toshi's various injuries), Toshi completely bypasses that downside.
  • Mythology Gag: In canon, All Might needed 300 blows to take down the first Nomu, and said in his prime it would have only taken five. Here he does manage to take down the Nomu in five hits.
  • Official Couple/Happily Married: With Junko Asahi/SCP-939.
  • The Paragon: He's the #1 Hero in Japan and does his best to help all those in need.
  • Violence Really Is the Answer: He points out to his students that dealing with dangerous villains and monsters more often than not requires fighting.

    Eraserhead 

Shota Aizawa — Eraserhead

Quirk: Erasure

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shouta_aizawa.png

The homeroom teacher of Class 1-A. He's a bit of a Lazy Bum but he takes his job as a hero seriously and expects his students to do the same.


  • Anti-Magic: His Quirk, Erasure, can disable the Quirks of anybody in his direct line of sight.
  • Badass Teacher: Despite his shabby appearance, Aizawa is an experienced Pro Hero who knows how to take care of several villains at once.
  • Cloth Fu: He carries a special scarf made of carbon fibers that he can use for a multitude of uses.
  • Official Couple: With Ms. Joke, much to Present Mic's amazement that he finally caved into her advances.
  • So Proud of You: He's able to maintain all of Class 1-A without a single expulsion up until their graduation. Needless to say, he expresses to his students just how impressed with their progress he is.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Downplayed in that he doesn't die at the USJ but here, he avoids getting seriously injured by the Nomu.

    Present Mic 

Hizashi Yamada — Present Mic

Quirk: Voice

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/present_mic_anime_artwork.png

Aizawa's best friend and former classmate as well as the spokesperson for UA High's events and its English teacher.


  • Didn't See That Coming: The fact that Aizawa actually has a sense of humor flabbergasts him. Even moreso when it turns out it's because Aizawa actually started dating Emi.
  • Revenge: Downplayed, but during the final exam Jiro notes that Yamada seems to be going all out just to get back at her for her quip that he's just the school's announcer.
  • Underestimating Badassery: On the receiving end of this from Jiro, who thinks he's just the school's announcer (he's actually a teacher too), and forgets that as a pro hero his Quirk is well-developed and powerful to boot.

    Midnight 

Nemuri Kayama — Midnight

Quirk: Somnambulist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/midnight_anime_profile.png

The Modern Heroic Arts teacher of UA as well as the Sports Festival referee.


  • Didn't See That Coming: She's shocked when her canon strategy of dealing with Cellophane and Grape Juice during the final exam hits a snag due to Cellophane not only helping Grape Juice escape her influence, but sealing his own visor with tape to avoid Midnight's sleeping gas.
  • For Want Of A Nail: Aizawa and Vlad King deliberately left her out of the Hero Informatics class in order to allow the students more freedom in trying to choose their hero code names. The relaxed atmosphere lead to several cases of Adaptational Name Change.
  • Graceful Loser: Implied with her retirement, as she passes her teaching job to Mt. Lady, her long-time rival.
  • Ship Tease: She seems to have a crush on Depestilous. Whether he reciprocates or not is up in the air, since he never really contacted her due to her "character" as a hero.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Since the Paranormal Liberation War Arc is all but Adapted Out, Midnight is spared her canon fate of being killed. She does still end up retiring after a near-death experience.
  • This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Inverted. When she learns from Foresight that the serial assault case she's been tracking was perpetrated by a female she drops out of the case, since her Somnabulist tends to work better against men than women.

    Vlad King 

Sekijiro Kan — Vlad King

Quirk: Blood Control

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlad_king_full.png

The Homeroom Teacher of Class 1-B.


  • Disappointed in You: He's disappointed in Monoma's rather egotistical views on heroism and regrets how he took the wrong words from his teachings.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Notes to the students that there's nothing wrong with heroes partaking in this trope. After all, his own code name brings to mind Vlad the Impaler, yet he's a genuine hero.
  • Related in the Adaptation: He adopts Himiko Toga as his daughter in this story. This helps in preventing her from becoming a Villain.
  • This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Downplayed. He's recommended to replace Midnight on a serial assault case since Foresight's vision shows the villain responsible has a blood-based Quirk.

    Serpenshia 

Noriaki Tanaka — Serpenshia

Quirk: Black Gunk

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3000_1.jpg

Known in one universe as SCP-3000, a supposedly god-like sea serpent, Serpenshia is a hero protecting the earth's waters as well as the acting gym teacher of UA High.


  • Adaptational Species Change: In the original SCP universe, he's a presumably god-like sea serpent but in this universe, he's a human with a fish-esque mutation.
  • Badass Teacher: He's UA High's gym coach and one of the greatest heroes in the world.
  • Big Brother Is Watching: Downplayed. His Quirk, Black Gunk, is a secretion from his body that he uses to tag villains, sending them into a temporary state of confusion. So long as the effect lasts, typically several days, a tagged villain can't even think of doing any sort of crime or villainous act without seeing Serpenshia's leering eyes in their minds.
  • Childhood Friend: Of both All Might and Endo Hound.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: We first see him dealing with illegal dumpers off the coast of Dagoba Beach while All Might and Endo Hound are training Midoriya and Bakugo.
  • Horrifying the Horror: He certainly counts as The Dreaded among criminals, but even he finds All For One to be terrifying, noting how evil All For One would have to be that the world would want to forget him more than his father Crimson Death.
  • Martial Pacifist: He always goes for his Quirk first to subdue a villain, but if he has to fight back he is more than strong enough to take them down physically.
  • Secret-Keeper: He's one of the few people who knows the secret of One For All and is aware of the existence of All For One.
  • So Proud of You: During a routine exercise in hero work, Tanaka is impressed with how Class 1-A deals with a lone gunman (he's acting as the gunman), especially with how Bakugo aims to disable the gun rather than flat-out destroy it.

    Agent of J 

Xenia Chau — Agent of J

Quirk: Quirkless

Object of Power: Miss J's Whiz Kids' Schoolhouse

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/j_95.jpg

The General Ed teacher for UA High and a Quirkless Pro Hero bonded to an Object of Power. The counterpart of SCP-5094.


  • Adaptational Badass: Xenia Chau in SCP canon was just a junior researcher for the Foundation, and while her natural gift for learning was enhanced by SCP-5094, she simply became a better scientist and gained a fluency in Swahili. Agent of J, on the other hand, learned combat skills, free-running skills, and even investigation skills. She's actually way smarter than her canon counterpart and is a pro hero on top of it.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: Applies more to Miss J. In canon the game she's part of is technically abandonware, since for all its anomalous wonders it's based on outdated software and can't be played on any hardware system more advanced than it. The version in the MHSCP universe, however, can be played on any system with a disk drive, despite being based on outdated tech.
  • Badass Teacher: Naturally qualifies as a teacher of UA High School.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Inverted. She made sure her costume could resist anything Quirked villains could throw at her, since as a Quirkless hero she'd naturally be at a disadvantage against superpowered beings.
  • Happily Married: With Chisa, aka Foresight.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: An in-universe version, as she can use Miss J's lessons to teach herself anything she doesn't already know that might come in handy for any given assignment.
  • Omniglot: While Canon!Xenia only knows Swahili in addition to English, Agent of J is stated to be fluent in multiple languages.
  • Spanner in the Works: She backs up Thirteen against Kurogiri, preventing him from using his Quirk to turn Thirteen's Black Hole against her.

Other Hero Schools

Shiketsu High

    Mechacain 

Kira Kobayakawa — Mechacain

Quirk: Pain Return

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cain_6.png

The alternate counterpart of SCP-073/Cain, who is just as noble here as in the original SCP universe.


  • Artificial Limbs: Uses a set of cybernetic arms as Support Gear.
  • Badass Teacher: He's a teacher at Shiketsu High.
  • Cain and Abel: It's literally in the name, though ironically he's more the Abel and in-story never has any interaction with his villainous younger brother Ableblade.
  • No, You: In superpower form, no less. Whatever damage is done to him is instead inflicted on the attacker. For obvious reasons, he tries to avoid taking fatal damage...
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Not as abrasive as most examples, but he does berate Shishikura for his hypocritical view on heroism during the Provisional License Exam.

    Inasa Yoarashi 

Inasa Yoarashi — Gale Force

Quirk: Whirlwind

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inasa_yoarashi_anime.png

A hot-blooded young man who originally enrolled at UA before deciding to switch over to Shiketsu.


  • Adaptational Badass: Manages to successfully pass the Provisional License Exam alongside Bakugo and Todoroki (all three had actually failed in canon).
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Manages to hash out what his problem with Todoroki is, leading to them working together during the second round of the license exam.
  • Eyes Never Lie: He sees a difference in Todoroki's eyes compared to when they met at UA's recommendation exam, which leads to him trying to talk out their issues.
  • Tag Team: Actually pulls one off with Todoroki in an effort to contain Gang Orca.

    Camie Utsushimi 

Camie Utsushimi — Maboromicamie

Quirk: Glamour

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/camie_utsushimi_anime.png

A ditzy young woman with a Valley Girl-esque way of speaking.


  • Ascended Extra: When we see Camie in this story's version of the Provisional License Exam, it's ACTUALLY Camie. Toga is actually taking the exam in a different location alongside UA's Class 1-B just off-screen.
  • Genius Ditz: Her success in the Provisional License Exam shows she can be surprisingly competent in hero work despite her ditzy attitude.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: She gets one of her weak points hit by Midoriya and quickly realizes she needs to get out of there and find different targets if she hopes to pass.
  • Talking Is a Free Action: Defied. When she tries to introduce herself to Izuku, he interrupts her by throwing one of his balls at her at top speed. She just barely dodges the rebound.

    Seiji Shishikura 

Seiji Shishikura — Sisicross

Quirk: Meatball

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seiji_shishikura_anime.png

An uptight young man with an elitist view on heroism.


  • Armor-Piercing Question: When Mechacain asks him if he'd be so willing to block his classmates from passing the exam, Shishikura doesn't know how to respond. Especially considering a student like Yoarashi.
  • Didn't Think This Through: He assumes Kaminari is incompetent for missing with one of his disk launchers, only for Kaminari to point out how stupid it is to assume he missed with a projectile that seemingly had nothing to do with his Quirk.
  • Hypocrite: He wants to prevent Bakugo, Kirishima, and Kaminari from passing the license exam to do right by UA's reputation... while also bringing down Shiketsu's reputation.
  • Irony: When he claims he wants to remove any student from the exam who would bring down UA's reputation, Bakugo points out that UA doesn't really have a stellar reputation beyond "it's the best hero school out there".
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Tries to use this on Kaminari, only to have it thrown right back in his face. Heck, he winds up with several during the course of the Provisional License Exam.
  • They Just Dont Get It: He keeps on insisting that his view on heroism is correct no matter how much he's proven wrong.

    Nagamasa Mora 

Nagamasa Mora — Chewyee

Quirk: Extend-O-Hair

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hair.png

A young man covered in hair due to the nature of his Quirk. He is the president of his class.


  • Disappointed in You: He grumbles about how Shishikura's insistence on pursuing his foolish crusade only led to his losing his chance at getting his hero license.
  • So Proud of You: By contrast, he praises Yoarashi for working with Todoroki to keep Gang Orca at bay during the second round.

Shujin Academy/Valjean Agency

    Valjean 

Zenkichi Hasegawa — Valjean

Quirk: Chain Link

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poochie_the_gunman.png

A notable detective and Pro Hero as well as the mentor of the Shadows.


  • Adaptational Badass: Unlike in canon, he never once gave up hunting down his wife's killer. When someone tried by threatening his daughter, he made sure the people hired to kill her were caught and arrested to send a message.
  • Adaptational Name Change: From Wolf to Valjean.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: He and Akane have a much better relationship. While she's still snarky to him on occasion, she does admire his actions as both a detective and a hero. Justified in that Zenkichi was able to maintain pursuit of his wife's killer in this story.
  • Ambiguous Situation: He's old enough that he's worked with All Might on at least one case while both were in their prime, but it's unknown if he knew about One For All prior to it being revealed after the Kamino raid.
  • Chain Pain: He can produce chains from any part of his body that can be used for offensive and defensive purposes.
  • In Spite of a Nail: He still wound up taking a few years to find his wife's killer because they were just that good at covering their tracks and hiding from the public.
  • Like Father, Like Son: Well, daughter in this case. Akane has a MUCH better relationship with Zenkichi here. Not only does she also have a Chain Link Quirk, but her chosen hero code name is also taken from Les Misérables (and appriopriately, her code name is Cosette, the adopted daughter of Jean Valjean).
  • Mentor Archetype: The Shadows are all sidekick students at his agency, and he's Midoriya's third direct teacher overall.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Since his job as a police detective prevented him from taking justice for his wife's death, he turned to his hero status since heroes are allowed to act independently from the police.

    Red Egress 

Madeline Akamari — Red Egress

Quirk: Red Pool

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_16_80.png

The Pro Hero counterpart of SCP-354 and the principal of Shujin Academy.


  • Big Damn Heroes: She's able to save Shiho during her suicide attempt, then works to make sure she's given the best health and mental care.
  • But Not Too Foreign: Her first name is more Western than her last name.
  • Foil: To Nezu, being a no-nonsense human as opposed to an eccentric rodent.
  • Foregone Conclusion: The first scene in Origins states that she'll somehow be murdered by the end of the story.
  • Meaningful Name: Part of her last name includes the word "aka" which is Japanese for "red".
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: She cares for the student body, and won't let Kamoshida get away with anything, regardless of his prior fame.
  • Slime Girl: Much like Elle-Ate, her body is amorphous in nature.
  • Summon Magic: Her Quirk involves conjuring living constructs to act as security for Shujin.

    Swampanne 

Annabelle Numajunin — Swampanne

Quirk: Swamp Woman

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/swamp.jpg

The Pro Hero counterpart of SCP-811. She takes over as PE Teacher of Shujin after Kamoshida is exposed as a villain and arrested.


  • Adaptational Attractiveness: Poor SCP-811 is nice enough, but looks like the spawn of the Creature of the Black Lagoon. Swampanne is much more attractive.
  • Amazonian Beauty: Her more muscular build, perfect for swimming, puts her one step higher than just a Cute Monster Girl.
  • Frog Men: Part of her Quirk is making her amphibious, resulting in this sort of mutation.
  • Make Them Rot: She can generate a corrosive gunk.
  • Meaningful Name: Her last name translates to "swamp resident".
  • The Mentor: Becomes one to Ashido, not only helping her control her acid better, but taking her on for work study to further her training.
  • So Proud of You: When she sees how hard Ashido is working during the Provisional License Exam, this is pretty much what's going through her head.

    Ren Amamiya 

Ren Amamiya — Arsene

Quirk: Cursed Shadow

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/protag.png

The leader of the Shadows.


  • Adaptational Badass: Zigzagged. On the one hand, he doesn't have access to the Wild Card, so he's stuck with only one type of power. On the other hand, it's a REALLY good power.
  • Adaptational Name Change: Being the Persona 5 Protagonist, his name is typically up to the player. Here he goes by his name from Persona 5: The Animation.
    • Same goes for his code name. As a Phantom Thief, he went by Joker. Here as a hero, he goes by the code name Arsene (which incidentally was the main Persona of his canon counterpart).
  • Ambiguous Situation: So far it turns out he was never framed for assault, but his connection to Shido is unknown beyond that.
  • Devious Daggers: When he's granted his weapon license, he chooses this as his main close-range.
  • For Want Of A Nail: He and his team stumble upon Soldier Boy's capsule inside a Chaos Insurgency base before The Boys can even investigate his supposed death. This and Ren's ability to use his Quirk for warping changes up a lot of character dynamics.
  • Man of Kryptonite: His Quirk is perfect to deal with Setsuno, since it's not a solid object and can blind him through the darkness.
  • Mythology Gag: He still uses Joker as a call sign with his team during missions.

    Ryuji Sakamoto 

Ryuji Sakamoto — Captain Kidd

Quirk: Electric Storm

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryuji.png

Ren's best friend and the second-in-command of the Shadows.


  • Abled in the Adaptation: Unlike his canon counterpart, Ryuji didn't get his leg broken by Kamoshida because the latter was caught in the act by Shunjin Academy staff and authorities.
  • Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Because Shunjin Academy staff were much more competent in dealing with Kamoshida's abuses, Ryuji doesn't have as much emotional baggage as his canon counterpart. His relationships with the Phantom Thieves, especially Morgana, are also less rife with tension due to Adaptational Nice Guy being applied on all sides.
  • Adaptational Name Change: His codename swaps from Skull to Captain Kidd.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: In canon, he has a Persona named Captin Kidd, which has electricity-based spells but specializes more in dishing out and tanking damage. Here, he has a Quirk, Electric Storm, that purely revolves around electricity.
  • Carry a Big Stick: He gravitates towards bludgeons when granted his weapon license.
  • Fanboy: Of Alice Hiiragi, mostly for her idol side.
  • Man of Kryptonite: For Tabe, who learns the hard way that being able to eat anything doesn't necessarily mean "everything".
  • Momma's Boy: Like in canon, what led to him punching out Kamoshida with his Quirk active is Kamoshida insulting his mother.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: He utters this almost verbatim when he jokingly requests for Sophia to order a gold bar, only to find that yes, you can order real gold bars, and Hiden Intelligence can have them delivered to you. His teammates and allies are as flabbergasted and horrified as he is.
    Ryuji: Holy shit, what have I done...?
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Averted. Despite him breaking school rules by attacking a teacher, the authorities of Shujin Academy understand why Ryuji did it and instead blame said teacher, Kamoshida, since he provoked Ryuji and tried crippling him under the excuse of "self-defense" to get the track team disbanded.

    Morgana 

Morgana — Zorro

Quirk: Razor Wind

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morgana.png

A Quirked animal and the mascot of the Shadows.


  • Adaptational Name Change: From Mona to Zorro.
  • Adaptational Species Change: In canon he keeps insisting that he's a human who looks like a cat, only to learn he's actually a physical manifestation of humanity's hope. In this story he's actually a cat.
  • Badass in Distress: Much like Persona 5, he's first seen captured and imprisoned in Kamoshida's castle-like lair.
  • Foil: To Nezu. Both are Quirked animals and pro heroes, and both have shades of being (relatively) evil geniuses. But while Nezu is a rodent of indeterminate species, Morgana is a feline of indeterminate breed. Nezu's Quirk grants high intelligence, Morgana's is more combat-oriented. Nezu is a school principal, Morgana is merely an advisor and sidekick. Nezu had a bad first impression with humans via the Serpent's Hand, while Morgana's first impression was the Shadows, giving him a much better view of humans to start.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Against Katsukame. It works on two levels. Without the Quirk booster, Morgana can simply attack Katsukame from a distance and prevent his Quirk from contacting him. With it, Morgana can take advantage of Katsukame sucking in energy to turn the air he's sucking in against him.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: During the main story he uses his position of seniority to give Akane emergency permission to use her Quirk while dealing with the Kyoto Underworld. In Origins he sets up the Shadows for work study under Valjean so they can investigate villain lairs without penalty.
  • Sidekick: He's one to Valjean.
  • Sinister Scimitar: His preferred close-range is a curved sword.
  • Uplifted Animal: Like Nezu, Morgana is a Quirked animal.

    Ann Takamaki 

Ann Takamaki — Carmen

Quirk: Witch Fire

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anne_0.png

Ren's classmate and a member of the Phantom Strikers.


  • Adaptational Name Change: From Panther to Carmen.
  • Appropriated Appelation: Everyone in middle school called her a witch due to how she could manipulate fire with her Quirk. She took that in stride and had her Quirk named Witch Fire.
  • Armor-Piercing Question: She demands to know if Kamoshida values sex over his sports glory. His silence tells her all she needs to know.
  • Blackmail Backfire: Kamoshida tries to proposition her for sex, threatening her friend Shiho's starting position on the volleyball team if she doesn't. She actually dares him to try, pointing out that Shiho's skills are too valuable for him to remove if he wants to keep his sports glory.
  • Expy: Her Quirk works in a manner similar to Roy Mustang's alchemy.
  • Man of Kryptonite: For Sakaki. Yeah, a man who is constantly drinking should be careful of the proof his liquor has.
  • Whip of Dominance: When Valjean grants the team their weapons licenses, Ann chooses whips as her close-range weapon.

    Yusuke Kitagawa 

Yusuke Kitagawa — Goemon

Quirk: Crystal Ice

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yusuke_kitagawa_1.png

An artistic young man and a member of the Shadows.


  • Adaptational Name Change: From Fox to Goemon.
  • Ambiguous Situation: His connection to Madarame is less clear than canon. We can infer that Madarame still tried to exploit the Sayuri, a painting by Yusuke's mother, for his own personal gain and that Yusuke ultimately retrieved it after spending time as Madarame's apprentice. The details are unknown, however, and given Yusuke was training to be a hero it's not out of the question to assume he knew about Madarame being a villain and was simply acting undercover.
  • Brick Joke: When Ryuji accidentally orders a gold bar from Sophia's expedited delivery service (It Makes Sense in Context), Yusuke notes they'd need to arrest the entire Meta Liberation Army just to afford the reimbursement. Guess what winds up happening several chapters later?
  • Eccentric Artist: As per canon. Though his artistic side rarely comes in compared to canon.
  • Katanas Are Just Better: Goes with said blades when granted his weapon license.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Acts as one to Rappa. After all, it doesn't matter how your arm is able to bend if your muscles are too cold to even move.

    Makoto Niijima 

Makoto Niijima — Johanna

Quirk: Nuclear Burst

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makoto_9.png

The Student Council President of Shujin Academy and a member of the Shadows.


  • Adaptational Name Change: From Queen to Johanna.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Perhaps the most ambiguous of them all, since while we know the Shadows confronted Kaneshiro, we don't know how Makoto was involved with the investigation.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Her Quirk proves more than powerful enough to smash through Hojo's crystals.
  • Power Fist: Even when the team is granted their weapons licenses, Makoto sticks with knuckledusters as befitting her martial arts training.
  • Required Secondary Powers: She's able to fully diffuse any radiation from her Quirk activating, preventing massive collateral damage.

    Futaba Sakura 

Futaba Sakura — Necronomicon

Quirk: Forbidden Knowledge

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/futaba_6.png

A First Year at Shujin and the Shadows' resident Hacker.


  • Adaptational Name Change: From Oracle/Navi to Necronomicon.
  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: With Akechi. In this story it's implied he had nothing to do with the death of Futaba's mother, so they're much better friends.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Her mom was still killed by agents of Shido, but other than it being implied Akechi had nothing to do with it, we don't know anything beyond that.
  • Foil: To Infinite. Both of them have Quirks that utilize psuedo-ditigal energy, but while Infinite is a villain and uses his Quirk offensively, Futaba is a hero and uses her Quirk mostly for intelligence gathering.
  • Foreshadowing: She and Sumire showing up at the Provisional License Exam hints at the presence of the rest of the Persona 5 crew.
  • Martial Pacifist: She doesn't usually use her Quirk for combat, prefering to stick with rescue and recon, but it's far from helpless in a fight.
  • Playful Hacker: With the help of her Quirk, she can literally hack the world.

    Haru Okumura 

Haru Okumura — Milady

Quirk: Psychic Dazzle

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haru.png

The Heiress of Okumura Foods and a member of the Shadows.


    Goro Akechi 

Goro Akechi — Robin Hood

Quirk: Enragement

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goro_8.png

A member of the Shadows who has some astute detective skills.


  • Adaptational Heroism: Big time! It's implied that he was never helping his father from the start, and had always been an ally to the Shadows.
  • Adaptational Name Change: From Crow to Robin Hood.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: Even more than canon! Here Akechi had always been trying to become a hero, especially to stop his villainous father from achieving his goals.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Who would have guessed that a hero could make use of a Quirk that literally runs on anger and hatred?
  • Laser Blade: Uses one when he recieves his weapon license. Justified in that it's stated that the story takes place in the 24th Century, and in spite of society stalling due to the chaos caused by anomalies, some scientific advancements had been made.
  • Mythology Gag: Many of Akechi's special attacks are based on the Almighty element of Persona 5.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Well, maybe. It's unclear in canon whether or not Akechi is still alive after what happened to him in Shido's Palace. He's definitely alive here, though.
  • Super-Empowering: His Quirk increases his strength the more angry he is. He channels his hatred for injustice in general for this purpose.

    Sumire Yoshizawa 

Sumire Yoshizawa — Cendrillon

Quirk: Glass Light

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kasumi_yoshizawa.png

A First Year at Shujin Academy and a member of the Shadows.


  • Adaptational Badass: Instead of training to be a gymnast like her late sister Kasumi, Sumire puts her Quirk to good use and strives to become a hero.
  • Adaptational Name Change: From Violet to Cendrillon.
  • Ambiguous Situation: We know that the incident with Maruki still occurred, but we don't know the details.
  • Foreshadowing: She and Futaba showing up at the Provisional License Exam hints at not only the existence of Persona 5 characters in the story, but the fact that Midoriya will be getting involved with them.
  • No-Sell: She's completely indifferent to Nemoto's attempts of psychological warfare, having already gotten over her trauma with her sister's death.
  • Royal Rapier: Chooses this as her close-range weapon when she gets her weapon license.
