Hanta Sero to his classmates in "After the Results..."

Hanta Sero ( () () (はん) () Sero Hanta?), also known as the Taping Hero: Cellophane (テーピンヒーロー セロファン Tēpinhīrō Serofan?), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance

Hanta is a tall, lean young man with chin-length black hair spiked downwards, with jagged bangs coming about halfway down his forehead. He has almond-shaped eyes, usually stretched quite broad and rather large, with small pupils and straight teeth that dominate his grin; however, according to Katsuki Bakugo[1] and Present Mic,[2] he has a rather plain face. His elbows have the shape of cylindrical tape dispensers, from which he fires his Tape Quirk.

His hero costume consists of a black, skin-tight bodysuit with a turtleneck, plain apart from a white design on his mid-torso area, and two yellow trimmings around each of his elbow-length sleeves. He wears white boots lined with yellow and has short white bands around his waist and the sides of his thighs, a larger one across his chest to connect his shoulder pads, shaped like tape dispensers. He completes his outfit with a yellow helmet, shaped similarly to his shoulder pads, with a sizeable black visor obscuring his face.

Personality

Hanta is amicable and has proven to be one of the more sociable members of Class 1-A. He can sometimes be loud and showy, often trying to impress his peers with his Quirk.

He is often the only person to call his classmates out when they act crazy. He is pretty humorous and usually makes jokes with his classmates. However, when push comes to shove, Hanta is a brave hero-in-training who wishes to prosper on his own while helping others do the same. He makes friends with those around him and is shown to be a very laid-back guy.

Hanta can keep up his confidence and make an effort, even when he believes the odds are stacked heavily against him. This determination is shown when he faced Shoto Todoroki during the Sports Festival and admitted that he felt he couldn't win, but he soon attacked Shoto, saying that he didn't want to lose either. Despite his crushing defeat afterward and failing the Final Exam due to being put asleep by Midnight, he still retains his willingness to continue and improve alongside his classmates.

Hanta has a teasing side that he shows on occasion, even towards the high-tempered Katsuki Bakugo, as he was seen jeering at him along with Minoru Mineta for not cleaning their dorms windowsills properly. He can also be one to speak his mind and at times insult others without meaning to, such as when he compared the functions of Momo Yaoyorozu’s Creation Quirk to the excrement process, upsetting her and then being forced to apologize by Kyoka Jiro.

Though not openly flirtatious like Denki or Minoru, Hanta still has some interest in girls. This is primarily seen during the Provisional License Exam when Izuku informs him of the girl who transformed into a clone of Ochaco; he starts violently shaking Izuku and asking him if she was naked then as well. Later, he informed Denki and Minoru of what happened with Izuku and "Camie", proving that he also has a habit of spreading gossip.

Abilities

Hanta restrains students

Hanta using his Quirk proficiency to subdue multiple opponents at once.

Overall Abilities: Hanta has proven himself a very competent combatant, with a great handle on his versatile Quirk, Tape. He uses his tape to bind targets from afar, restraining them from action by knotting his tape around their bodies. He prefers to remain at a safe distance while firing large amounts of tape at his opponents with impressive accuracy. Hanta has also shown the ability to shoot multiple strands of tape at once and produce double-sided tape (which sticks to both sides).

Hanta frequently uses Tape for mobility, attaching the adhesive material to surfaces and using them to swing himself through the air or pull himself towards the attachment points. Furthermore, by spreading tape around a room or pathway, Hanta can easily create traps and blockades for enemies. Hanta's overall fighting style makes him a highly formidable long-range combatant. Hanta may also take pieces of his tape for more conventional uses, like sticking one object to another, significantly when reinforcing barricades and walls. Allies can also use stray pieces of tape to their advantage, even if Hanta finds himself unable to act. Hanta also has excellent camaraderie, not only using his Tape to help distance his comrades from powerful opponents but also using his Quirk in tandem with the Quirks of other people, such as Ochaco Uraraka's Zero Gravity. This specific combination allows strings of tape attached to floating objects to create a unique trap.

During the U.S.J. Incident, Hanta and Rikido Sato capitalized on Ochaco running interference against Kurogiri to subdue the villain even further success. When pitted against Shoto Todoroki, one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, at the U.A. Sports Festival, Hanta was able to bind him with tape before the latter could react swiftly and nearly defeat him until Shoto unleashed a massive wall of ice that immobilized and defeated Hanta. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of The Lurkers (consisting of Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady), allowing Hanta to intern under the trio of powerful heroes and improve on close and efficient team maneuvers.

  • Enhanced Strength: Hanta has above average physical strength, as he can use his tape to swing himself up and around very high objects and slings other people everywhere with no noticeable difficulty or strain.

Tactical Intellect: While Hanta may not be one of his class's more academically astute members, he makes up for it with his own level of strategic and tactical skills. During the fourth round of the Joint Training Battle, Hanta observed the mechanics of Setsuna Tokage's Lizard Tail Splitter Quirk and correctly deduced her inability to consistently regrow pieces of her body, all while realizing she is akin to Momo: having an exhaustion-inducing drawback due to the nature of her Quirk causes a loss in focus. With these deductions and Kyoka's comment on the lowered noise production caused by the recommended student, Hanta concluded that Setsuna's maximum fragmentation renders it difficult for her to fight at full power, hence why she recalls as much of her split anatomy to circumvent her time limit and stamina loss. Capitalizing on this facet, Hanta taped one of Katsuki's grenades to a piece of Setsuna she called back, allowing Katsuki to defeat her and secure victory for their team.

Quirk

Eijiro and Hanta battle trial

Hanta uses his tape to build a net trap.

Tape (テープ Tēpu?): Hanta's Quirk is that he has tape dispenser-like organs in his elbows, from which he can shoot long cellophane tape-like strips; he can also retract them. They appear to be somewhat sturdier than regular tape. Overuse of his Quirk will cause his skin to dry out.

He can use his tape to wrap people, swing long distances, and create traps, among other applications.

As part of his training, Hanta continuously produced tape from his arms in order to increase his capacity, and improve his tape's textile strength and shooting speed.

Ultimate Moves

  • Barricade Tape (バリケードテープ Barikēdo Tēpu?): Hanta covers his surroundings with tape in order to protect himself and others from enemy attacks.
  • Trident (トライデント Toraidento?): Hanta uses various threads to grabs objects and launches them as projectiles at the enemy.
