Summary
My Hero Academiais known for its colorful world of superheroes who possess abilities called Quirks. The series follows a certain boy, Deku, who, though born Quirkless, is given a Quirk of his own and enrolls at the prestigious U.A. Academy. With many intense confrontations, duels, and battles, the series also provides a deep look at many characters' origins and personalities, as well as exploring theever-present themes of self-sacrifice and redemption.
Deku’s class at U.A, Class 1-A, has stuck by his side through thick and thin, and even though some members shine brighter than others, all twenty students have fought bravely in battles and overcome personal struggles. Fans can often agree on the fact certain characters' hero costumes particularly stand out for the way they embody their wearer’s Quirks, personality, or even subtle hidden meanings. Whereas all views will inevitably vary, some of these hero costumes stand out as among thebest hero suits in MHAas a whole.
20Toru Hagakure
The Invisible Girl Isn’t Really In Need Of A Hero Suit
Toru Hagakure can’t really fairly be compared to the hero suits of the other members of Class 1-A, seeing as her Quirk is invisibility. Therefore, she doesn’t actually wear a hero outfit apart from gloves and shoes.
The subtle coloring of her shoes and gloves will help her blend in with many different environments, complementing her stealth abilities. Perhaps having even thinner shoes instead of boots would enhance her stealth even more, as they’d make much less noise.
19Koji Koda
Koda Wears Bright Colors But A Rather Informal Hero Suit
One of Class 1-A’s more minor members, Koda, doesn’t have the most practical or visually pleasing hero suit compared to those of his classmates. The bold, bright colors, though they clash, could serve to disguise his inner shyness.
Overall, though, Koda’s costume seems far too casual with the T-shirt and shorts compared to those around him. His mask looks like a duck’s bill, which seems to be the only aspect of his suit that reflects his ability to communicate with animals.
18Minoru Mineta
Mineta’s Hero Costume Is Hard To Take Seriously
Mineta isn’t the most prominent member of Class 1-A and is instead mostly used for comic relief. While he’s not the most popular among fans, his suit, unfortunately, suffers the same fate. The wacky color scheme seems childish, especially with the diaper-looking ‘grape bowl’ he wears around his waist. Even ifhis hero nameis Grape Juice, it’s impossible to take the ‘diaper’ seriously.
The headgear he wears does showcase his Pop Off Quirk well, though overall, it has to be said that Mineta’s suit is not the most heroic-looking outfit at all and presents him as very juvenile instead of as a hero of tomorrow.
17Rikido Sato
Sato’s Attire Doesn’t Reflect His Quirk
Sato is alsoone of Class 1-A’s minor members, and this status is reflected in his very plain apparel. The yellow bodysuit doesn’t really show off his Sugar Rush Quirk at all.
However, Sato wears a utility belt to store sugary treats, which is what makes his Quirk work in the first place. Arguably, the ‘low-key’ aesthetic, which doesn’t reveal his Quirk blatantly, could give him the upper hand in a battle since he’s harder to read than others.
16Momo Yaoyorozu
Momo’s Suit Has Some Controversial Features
Momo Yaoyorozu is Class 1-A’s secondary class representative. To complement her Creation Quirk, which allows her to create things using her own body’s cells, she wears a red leotard as her hero attire.
She may not have additional features on her costume since she has the ability to create them herself, yet to help her do this, she carries a book around with her. This does seem very impractical, given the nature of the series' battles. However, as well as being top of the class intellectually and having a prominent role in class decisions, the ‘look’ of the book complements her cleverness and quick-thinking nature, and even her favorite hobby: reading.
15Mina Ashido
Mina’s Outfit Isn’t Everyone’s Favorite
Matching her peppy personality, Mina Ashido’s hero outfit is vibrant and colorful, with wacky, almost toxic-looking colors reflecting how potentially lethal her Acid Quirk can be. What’s more, she can use her acid to slide around thanks to nifty holes in her shoes whilst protecting her clothing from it.
It may not be technically advanced or even what one would think of when hearing the words ‘hero suit,’ but Mina’s unique style has become iconic and would be a fun cosplay outfit for MHA fans.
14Fumikage Tokoyami
Tokoyami’s Outfit Was Built Around His Quirk
Tokoyami’s Dark Shadow Quirk is very unique, seeing as it’s completely detached from his actual body. In order to make the most of his Quirk and to prevent anyone from knowing his weakness, Tokoyami must keep his shadow in the dark as much as possible.
As for his hero attire, Tokoyami wraps himself in a plain black robe, which both reflects his secretive nature and shadowy Quirk. Under the robe, he wears plain black clothes. All this is designed to make Dark Shadow stronger since it thrives in darkness but is weaker in light.
13Mezo Shoji
This Gentle Giant’s Suit Subtly Reflects His Personality
Shoji stands out among Class 1-A for his iconic Dupli-arms Quirk. He may look intimidating, but Shoji is known for his calm and friendly personality. This is reflected in him having a simple costume with a relatively plain design, the small circles possibly representing eyes, which complements his unique Quirk.
The most notable aspect of Shoji’s suit is its color: blue. This calm and peaceful color reflects his calm and friendly nature, as well as being incredibly fitting for the character who was awarded the Imamura Peace Prize years later.
12Mashirao Ojiro
Ojiro’s Plain Suit Matches His Unique Strengths
Another minor character, Ojiro, is known for both his unique Tail Quirk, which gives him a unique kind of strength, and for not wanting to stand out. The latter is reflected in his plain white costume, which looks like karate attire.
His clothing is lightweight and loose-fitting, meaning it complements his superb martial arts abilities. Overall, the plain aesthetic fits everything about his character perfectly.
11Kyoka Jiro
Jiro’s Outfit Oozes A Strong Punk Rock Vibe
Jiro is known as Class 1-A’s main music lover, and her passion for music is reflected in her apparel. Her costume may just look like regular and quite plain clothing, but it’s equipped with some handy features that overall give her a punk rock vibe.
Jiro’s boots contain stereos, and she wears amplifiers on her wrists, both of which let her use her Quirk to create her unique attacks. Overall, Jiro’s cool costume appeals to many fans and would make simple yet fun cosplay.
