Howdy everyone! I'm AnSon828511, but you can call me An-Son (he/him pronouns). Wiki editor, frequent guy you'll see in the discussions and overall Fandom wanderer. ^u^

About me
I've been here for quite a while now... What else can I say? My Hero Academia has been one of my favourite series in recent years. I've always loved stories and enjoy reading, writing and drawing, and MHA has been one of my biggest inspirations. I first joined in the Discussions where I drew and posted art on OCs I've created, prior to their prohibition in January 2021.

Nowadays, I haven't drawn as much, but I do still post on occasion.

You can usually find me in the Discussions, othertimes I'm making edits and contributing to the wiki, whether it be adding content to pages or just fixing the occasional grammar structure.

Sandbox Pages
These are prototype articles for characters, Quirks, places etc. that have not been given their own official pages on the Wiki yet, normally due to reasons such as lacking a confirmed name or pending official release.

Favorite Characters (section under construction)
Just a heads up, this section contains Major Spoilers! Students= Hitoshi Shinso: Ah yes, the star of U.A.'s General Studies. Born with a seemingly "Evil Quirk", as though Hitoshi had any choice of what power he was born with.

Bottom-line is, I love Shinso, and Horikoshi knows how to write underdogs perfectly! One of the best parts is that he understands how others percieve him, and internally confessed that he'd probably think that someone with his power would use it for evil as well. What's more is that this guy's worked his rear-end off to earn his transfer into the Hero Course, and is willing to train harder and harder to achieve his goal and prove everyone who thought bad of him wrong. I'm also genuinely excited to see which class he'll be in coming his second year at U.A.

It's also clear that the guy isn't used to having friends, and is reluctant to seek any, but seeing his classmates as well as his teammates (the ones who weren't brainwashed lol) its clear that his friends are there.

Also yeah, it's surprisingly easy to see him as a cat person =^w^=

Ochaco Uraraka: An absolute sweetie with a true fighting spirit! Ochaco's a good person through and through; reluctant to tell anyone that her main goal in heroism is to make money for her parents, out of fear of being seen as selfish. Her Quirk, Zero Gravity is pretty simple by itself, but she's trained it to become a powerful weapon against villains and a rescue tool for those in trouble. Furthermore, we see just how much helping her parents means to her during the U.A. Sports Festival where she got upset at herself for not getting further.

Here's just one of the great examples how well Horikoshi develops his characters, Uraraka hasn't floated above her failures; she's trudged through and withstood all of them and has become stronger for it. She's friendly towards everyone, unless having clear reasons not to be, and even those people aren't beyond her compassion or empathy. Another great thing is how Horikoshi made her frugality and need to save money a personality trait that pops up here and there.

Definitely one of the most best main characters whose very easy to root for!

Shoto Todoroki: And here we have the tritagonist of the series, Shoto and his backstory are definitely one of the most interesting plots in the story - created by a selfishly ambitious father to inherit the perfect dual power of Fire and Ice. We've seen Shoto go from cold, brooding and quiet, to caring, loving and compassionate - another amazing display of character development from Horikoshi's part.

As if his incredible power, amazing design and great development wasn't enough. His denseness also provides a great source of humour when called for - the "Hand Crusher" lol, the creator is even able to make cool and quiet types hilarious!

Mirio Togata: Truly a marvel of a character, who has mastered a near-uncontrollable Quirk into that of his greatest weapon! Mirio's definitely come far and his good will rubs off very well on his underclassmen (aside from beating the crap out of them), showing how someone with such a hinderance of a power can overcome it with enough perseverance. This makes him kind of like an older version of Izuku Midoriya in said regard. Not only this, but how encouraging and inspiring he is to even the most emotionally downtrodden of folk and his true showcases of wit and power in a fight makes him an incredible character - to the point where Horikoshi created another figure similar to him out of this wonderful effect he has on others.

Quick note: I also love his jokes, regardless of how corny they are.

Tsuyu Asui: A perfect portrayal of a level-headed character; Tsu comes from a simple yet effective background, a young girl left in charge of her younger siblings - very humble and straight-forward in character, yet also knows how her words can come off when she's always speaks her mind. Her Quirk is really interesting too! Being a frog gives her many abilities to use, unlike more basic powers with techniques derived from them, but that doesn't stop her from achieving great teamwork between the two.

Itsuka Kendo: After our first encounter with Class 1-B, its nice to know that other students of the class are just as heroic and willing, with this responsible girl being a great leading example! Kendo is a great character and fighter, with a simple yet effective Quirk for her martial art style of combat. Its also nice to see her get on with others from 1-A, and just all-in-all, her being a great figure to look up to.

Also, I get where "masculine" comes from, but c'mon - she's gorgeous!

Nirengeki Shoda: And for the final one on my list of favourite hero students, we have quite an undermined character (no pun intended there lol).

For real though, at first glance you'd expect some lump of a boy. But in the field of battle you get a level-headed and strong opponent and leader figure! Shoda's Twin Impact Quirk is well-versed in areas of combat, and it's clear he has a responsible and mature outlook for someone his age.

The Ultra Analysis goes as far as to describe him as Class 1-B's conscience, and that I can very much see XD - But in a classroom, I can easily see him as someone I'd be friends with ^^



Heroes= Hawks: Now, where do I start here?

Hawks is truly a masterpiece of a character, I love his appearance, his costume, his character, his Quirk... Not only is he an incredibly cool character, but he also has an interesting backstory and presence overall; being scouted for private Hero education as a child, abandoning his true name and his dark past along with it - and training almost as a special breed of Hero, who infiltrated the League of Villains at great risk of his own safety. And when he's not being an absolute bada$$, he's a relatively friendly, laid-back and teasing guy who (kind of ironically) loves chicken!

Hawks isn't just a hero whose admired by many fans, but he's also a government agent, who has a difficult willingness to get his hands dirty for the greater good and for the safety of those counting on him. Even when everything went sky high (using this in place of better words, not a pun) he made the most difficult choice to save thousands of people. Hawks always strives to see the best he can in others, no matter how bad or seemingly far gone they are, and even now he's doing his best to aid the other Heroes in stopping the villain's chaos and madness for good.

Sir Nighteye: And here we have a man who takes humour seriously. At first, I didn't like how Sir Nighteye acted, but now I understand that no matter how harsh or reproaching he seemed towards Deku, it all came from a place of care for someone who meant a lot - if not everything - to him.

Aside from his unique power to see into the future, I love Sir Nighteye's character and how he's likely the biggest All Might Otaku that Midoriya ever got the pleasure of meeting. His tutelage and teachings towards Mirio also clearly made a positive impact on his overall character, and the young man became his proudest protégé. In the end, Sir Nighteye gave the truest message to those who would ensure a bright future would come to pass, that a world without smiles and humour would have absolutely none at all.

His smile was nice as well, I wish we got to see it more 😢

Shota Aizawa: At first I felt the same about Aizawa as I did with Sir Nighteye up there, but you can't deny his method of threatening to expel someone on the first day was indeed effective XD

Real talk though, sometimes you need someone who's straight-to-it, knows whether something (or someone) is worth it and is able to push his students to become stronger and stronger. Class 1-A couldn't have a better homeroom teacher, even when knowing that he would be blamed for it, he allowed all his students to defend themselves when the villains attacked. He's also very pragmatic with how limitingly useful his Quirk is, to the extent where he would master his very own fighting technique, and pass on his knowledge to another individual handicapped by their power.

Aizawa's deadpan and strict attitude can enable some his class' humour while also being able to keep them in check. His mentorship over Shinso is also a great and aspiring feature, kind of mirroring that of Deku and All Might's (albeit definitely stricter and with much less fanboying). And despite how strict he is, he really does care for his class in the end and he's willing to face any threat in order to protect them.

Also yeah, like Shinso, he's a total cat person underneath. =^w^=

Mirko: When you think of bunny rabbits, you'd normally picture these adorable carrot-munching creatures who wouldn't hurt a fly. Welp, all I can say is well done to Horikoshi for making a rabbit-themed hero with such a kicka$$ presence! Mirko is strong, beautiful and faces every foe with a springing step, powerful kick and a brave smile, showing absolutely no fear or hesitation all the while, even when in a fight that could've been her last.

Her backstory as Bunny-Eared Usako and later the Tiger Bunny was cool as well, and its awesome to see that she was just as much of a rebel as a student than she is a Pro Hero!

Fun fact: I actually had two pet rabbits when I was four, but I was too young to remember them.

All Might: The long-time Symbol of Peace who stood as Japan's No. 1 Hero. You may've expected All Might to be higher on this list, but the fact is that I still admire his character: it goes to show that even the best of the best have their own bumps and flaws in the end. ^^

But no, real talk: All Might's climb to become a symbol for everyone to feel safe around just goes to show how courageous he is, especially with him being Quirkless in a time where crime and chaos were rife, perfectly portrays how far he's come. Even now, after losing the remains of his power and being left in his frail state, he continues to protect and encourage his pupil and successor. Not only this, but he does have his wise moments, despite his oafishness (and not being the best teacher at the start) he does acknowledge all the threats that Deku will have to face, and even when being able to fight alongside him, he's still there in heart and mind.

Endeavor: Remember that selfishly ambitious and abusive father? Yeah, well he's here as well - colour us both surprised!

Trust me, I detested Endeavor at the start, what with him treating all his kids like guinea pigs, and driving his wife to her mental breaking point. But its safe to say that his life-time goal of becoming No. 1 just being handed to him broke his vision completely, turns out he still respected his own efforts - his own, horrible efforts - to earn the spot himself.

Endeavor got what he always wanted and instead of him getting to enjoy his success, it pushed him to become not just a better man, but a better Hero and father as well. Endeavor might've been dumb enough to let his ambitions lead him down so far, but he's smart enough to know that he can't just undo everything he did. He was willing to do his best to try and make amends, but when ultimately coming to it that his family would be happier without him, he decides that's what's best... Abusive history aside, its great to see him have character aside from what we've just been through. Endeavor's intelligent, brave, willing, has an easily-struck temper, a truly earned reputation, but above all: is willing to accept whatever consequences come his way. Horikoshi's done a fantastic job of moulding him from a selfish, bitter person, to a truly brave hero at heart.

And the fact that he was the one who inspired Hawks up there. Wow, just wow...

Burnin: And the last but not least of my favourite heroes list is the copper flamed beauty of the Flaming Sidekickers!

No joke, Burnin's a great example of how Horikoshi can make even great and interesting side characters. Not only does her Quirk look absolutely dope, but its clear she has that challengingly encouraging attitude in her workplace, and one that can drive others, as if "Don't really need to start a fire under them do I?" was any indication.

I honestly wish we knew more about her! I'd be super interested in seeing even just a chapter on some backstory or how she started out.



Villains= All For One: As the stories of old have always shown us, every great and almighty hero needs a powerful nemesis, and holy cungadero MHA certainly didn't disappoint us! All For One is nothing short of a fearsome Dark Lord who, funnily enough, was inspired by the one he read about in comic books, I'm not kidding! Having been around since the Quirk phenomenon began and obtaining a Quirk that grants him longevity, AFO continued to leave a great villainous impression; being charismatic and manipulative enough to gather thousands of truly loyal followers and his influence continued to be a menace to society even whilst he was mortally injured and imprisoned.

Bottom-line is that a man who can take and give Quirks, and use them together is damned sure to be a force to be reckoned with. All For One isn't just immensely powerful but he's also vastly wise and intelligent, enough to predict his own downfall and prepare multiple plans and pathways to aid in his goals. You'd think he has more Quirks than he knows what to do with, but the truth is, he's always hungry for whatever power piques his interest, and seeing him use just a few of them in battle is definitely a scene to behold! What's more and almost typically yet amazingly, All For One created his own worst enemy through his brother, Yoichi, and then unintentionally created a great power that would live on to stand against his evil.

Another terrific factor about All For One is his character, its like he's taken a traditional villainous overlord and sculpted it in his own grand image, turning a villainous daydream into real life. He revels in being a Symbol of Evil, just like All Might aspired to be a Symbol of Peace, and he's clever enough to sculpt and create other vastly powerful villains, even if they're just pawns doing his bidding or carrying on his own ambitions while they further their own.

An incredible villain in every sense of the word.

Tomura Shigaraki: And I could the very same about All For One's pupil! At the start and with his first appearance, it's easy to see Tomura as a mindless villain with a typical villainous power that's fit for killing, with him just wanting to destroy whatever aggravates him with no true end goal in mind.

I'm sure many others would say this, but Tomura's character development is truly exceptional and awe-inspiring, having gone from a childish and murderous runt, to a quick-thinking and vastly powerful villain and leader. What's even better is that we get to see Tomura as MHA's protagonist villain, just like we see Izuku Midoriya as the protagonist hero: both start inexperienced and faced with great difficulties, but both become stronger and more well-defined in character as the series goes on. Another great factor is that Tomura hated society for practically worshipping All Might and becoming ignorant to the victims cast out and trodden over. It was easy to see him as man-child balking complete nonsense, but... he was right. Many different people in the show have been ostracised by the Hero society, sometimes even based on things that don't or shouldn't matter such as physical appearance or even one's Quirk, and they found themselves being labelled villains as a result. It does strike you that anyone unfortunate enough could be left in that position...

Then there's his past, All For One orchestrated his upbringing as a villain perfectly and his life beforehand only goes to show both that even well-intentioned actions can have unintended consequences, and just how unconcious society became to ignore a lost and disorientated child, with them all thinking: Oh, surely a Hero will come along and help them... but there's the kicker: not everyone gets saved, and to think that he even wanted to be a Hero before that all went down.

Dabi: It's almost like Horikoshi just thought; "Hmm... lets add another bada$$ to the mix." and he did incredible with Dabi to say the very least!

A mysterious, pyrokinetic villain wielding blue flames, and nothing to go on aside from his horrible scars, and inspiration to follow Hero Killer's mission. Dabi's extremely tactile and clever, and character-wise he leaves us all in awe with his power, intellect and villainous personality. While it was theorised for a long, long time who he really was, it felt like it'd be disappointing if we were proven to be incorrect. But no! Horikoshi set up his motives and the reveal of his identity perfectly, as an elaborate plan to smash the people's hope into itty bitty pieces - and it worked! There's that and his clashes with Hawks, damn they're so cool!

Twice: And here we have Horikoshi's picture perfect piece of a tragic villain! Upon Twice's introduction, its easy to see him as a comedic character whose easily played for laughs, but he soon unravels from that into a very complex and saddening backstory over how he lost everything and was left with only himself... literally.

His Double Quirk is also extremely fascinating! When it comes to clones in superhero works, I only expect a little more than hollow duplicates, but Twice's Quirk creates exact replicas of people with their personalities, powers and all! We also see how he came to abuse it to commit armed robberies, and how it ended ultimately backfiring on him...

As unfortunate as Jin was, I think we can all agree that choosing his friends in the League of Villains over the chance to repair and reform himself says something. I don't like how Hawks had to kill him, but I understand that it was complicated and it was either Twice or thousands of innocent lives 😔 He was a villain yes, but I see a man who just took what the world gave him. Here's to that.

Geten: Kay, if I make it through this without making any ice-related puns that'd be a win...

An awesome villain and a perfect rival for Dabi, with the power to channel and control ice to do his bidding. We might not have seen much of Geten, but he definitely made his impact as a character. Having honed his Meta Ability since he was young and training far longer than any hero, with his power and resolve it's almost a shame he's a bad guy. I'd love to learn more about him.

What's more is that Geten plays a part in introducing to us the concept of an Awakening, where one's Quirk undergoes a rapid change in power when the user is put in extreme circumstances, like a life-or-death scenario or in Geten's case; helping someone you care about. We learn that his Ice Manipulation evolved when his commander burned himself, allowing him to change the ice's temperature, which also allows him to freeze water and use that as well.

A very interesting and cool character! (dammit...)

Nine: My favourite movie villain. Period. Tell that metal bender and glow-in-the-dark cultist to make some room!

With an incredible power that was so strong it ravaged his own body, in his backstory we get to sneak a peek at Nine's life and how his outlook was changed by the Quirk he was born with. Seeing how he felt oppressed by society, while others ruled above, we see his Social Darwinist view come to light and how he believes that those with strong Quirks should rule over the weak. His beliefs actually tie in with Geten's up there, wanting to create a world where power is the only factor that matters.

It's nice to see that Nine has some allies he shares his convictions with as well: other people who've been affected by society's structure and are fighting to liberate themselves from it. But what makes Nine so unique is that he gained a variant (albeit a weaker version) of All For One's power to steal Quirks, and upon seeing him in the trailer we're lead to believe he's another AFO entirely! How wicked is that?! In Heroes: Rising we see that Nine has acquired some very powerful Quirks that he's stolen from the Heroes, and I daresay they're some of my favourites in the series!

To think that the power he received was only a prelude to what was coming, truly remarkable writing on Horikoshi's part.

Lady Nagant: Finally, here we have the beautiful Sniper Queen herself!

This woman was so intriguing when we first saw her during the Tartarus Prison Break, she looked confused by all the chaos and the closest hint to her Quirk that we got was a glowing energy around her arm.

And a few chapters later, we were introduced to Kaina Tsutsumi, A.K.A. Lady Nagant. An Ex-Pro Hero with a Rifle Quirk that makes her the perfect assassin and the most accomplished markswoman in all of Japan! Not only is Lady Nagant a certified bada$$ character to say the very least, but her backstory reveals the hidden corruption of Hero Society, where she was trained to off people who threatened the peace, or rather... the order of things... She soon realised her bloodshed wasn't the answer, and it eventually made her snap and kill her superior.
