My Hero Academia: Worst Hero Costumes, Ranked

Highlights

Heroes in My Hero Academia design costumes to match their quirks for functionality and style, inspiring young aspiring heroes.
Some heroes, like Best Jeanist, prioritize functionality over fashion, while others, like Grape Juice, opt for impractical and childish designs.
Each hero’s costume in the series reflects their personality, quirks, and level of effort in becoming a true hero.

As a seasoned observer of the My Hero Academia universe, I must say these costumes have certainly left an impression – albeit not always for the right reasons!

In the universe of “My Hero Academia”, both heroes and villains coexist. This transformation has significantly altered the course of what was once a regular world for many years, leading to an increase in crime rates. To maintain order, hero organizations have been set up, while villainous groups have also emerged with the aim of eliminating the heroes. Meanwhile, young individuals with special abilities are being prepared to become heroes, and as they progress, they adopt heroic names and most notably, costumes that often become integral to their identity throughout their careers as professional heroes.

It’s crucial that these costumes are both practical and suit the unique characteristics of each hero, allowing for seamless transitions between scenes without posing any obstacles. At the same time, they need to be trendy and fashionable, serving as role models for children aspiring to become heroes. Regrettably, some costumes simply shouldn’t have been made, but these heroes continue to wear them with panache.

7 Tsunagu Hakamada – Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist

Denim From Head To Toe

My Hero Academia: Worst Hero Costumes, Ranked

Debut Episode: Season 2, Episode 14

Moderation is crucial, yet excess denim seems unfamiliar to the Best Jeanist, as the only parts of his body not draped in denim are his eyes, even if he didn’t need them for sight, those too might be adorned with denim. This pro-hero dresses this way due to his unique ability to control all types of fabric, and denim is the most manageable for him. Given his extensive use of denim, it’s understandable why he’s called a master of fabric.

Although his outfit may seem outdated or eccentric in fashion terms, it proves to be highly functional and practical when he employs his unique abilities. In comparison to other superheroes’ costumes, it might appear overly stylish, awkward, or less intimidating to some onlookers. However, the functionality of his outfit earns him points.

6 Shota Aizawa – Erasure Hero: Eraser Head

No Effort

Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 5

Shota Aizawa, commonly referred to as Eraser Head, embodies a utilitarian demeanor with a no-nonsense approach and an inclination towards reserve. He seldom exerts energy unless it’s indispensable, and such instances are mostly during battles or training sessions with his pupils. Furthermore, his reluctance to expend effort is evident in his hero outfit, which features a black shirt, trousers, golden goggles, and wrapped attire.

In everyday life, Eraser Head’s attire is quite ordinary and unassuming, being plain and simple. Unlike most heroes who strive for a distinctive costume, Eraser Head seems indifferent to this tradition. His costume lacks practicality in many ways, offering little assistance during combat. The only notable exception is his binding scarf, which can sometimes become a hindrance as it may get tangled or seized by an adversary.

5 Minoru Mineta – Fresh Picked Hero: Grape Juice

Childish, Impractical, And Unheroic

Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 5

In the universe of My Hero Academia, Mineta’s fanbase may be smaller than many other characters, and he often faces intense examination, which could be somewhat warranted given his controversial persona. The dubiousness surrounding his character is a persistent issue, casting a spotlight on him in ways that are hard to ignore. This scrutiny extends even to his hero costume.

His attire features a distinctive purple helmet adorned with tacky orbs for capturing adversaries. This helmet is practical and fits well with his exploding ability. Yet, his lower half appears to be wearing baby-like garments, which might seem odd. Unfortunately, this infantile appearance doesn’t help project him as a heroic figure in others’ eyes, as it makes him appear less intimidating and more childish.

4 Yuga Aoyama – Shining Hero: Can’t Stop Twinkling

Flashy But Efficient

Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 4

Born without any peculiarities, Yuga found his path to heroism through an encounter with All For One. Receiving his laser ability from him, Yuga realized his long-cherished dream of becoming a hero. With this newfound reality, he took his aspirations seriously and went the extra mile in creating unique costumes for himself.

As a gamer slipping on Yuga’s flashy attire, I can’t help but notice its eye-catching design. But don’t let the glitz fool you – this costume serves a practical purpose, regulating the laser that shoots from his navel. However, when it comes to a hero’s outfit, aesthetics often take precedence over functionality. Yuga’s costume might be a bit too flashy for my taste. It’s adorned with armor and a bulky belt that seems heavy, potentially limiting his movement. The vibrant color could even work against him, drawing unwanted attention from his adversaries.

3 Momo Yaoyorozu – Everything Hero: Creati

Exposed And Leaves Her Without Protection

Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 5

Momo’s attire features a leotard that reveals her neck and abdomen area below the navel. At first glance, this outfit could seem inappropriate due to its lack of protective layers. With her exposed skin, Momo is more susceptible to potential attacks; if she had additional armor or covering for her vulnerable areas, these assaults might not have been as damaging.

Yet, her bare skin serves a unique function in her craft, as it enables her to generate combat-ready items by maintaining continuous touch with her skin. Unfortunately, her attire is among the least protective due to its open design, potentially putting her at risk during fights.

2 Mina Ashido – Pinky

It Looks Very Unprofessional.

Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 5

Mino’s unique trait involves generating acid, a potentially harmful substance that can alter whatever it touches. Fortunately, her outfit safeguards her from the harsh consequences of this acid on her body and clothing. Though her costume is designed to withstand acid, it might not be the most stylish or trendy in the world of “My Hero Academia”.

Her attire includes a snug green or perhaps teal bodysuit with splashes of purple across it. She completes this outfit with a fur coat, brown knee-high boots, and a mask. The ensemble doesn’t seem harmonious, giving off a somewhat childish vibe without much heroic flair. However, if it effectively shields her from acid, she is well-prepared.

1 Koji Koda – Petting Hero: Anima

Unintimidating And Casual

Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 5

Koji has an intense shyness that often leads him to conceal himself among the creatures he manages, preferring to stay out of the spotlight rather than take charge or interact with his peers. He puts in minimal effort to break free from his comfort zone, and this reluctance is evident not only in his behavior but also in the understated nature of his superhero attire. Koda’s costume, consisting of shorts and a shirt, is quite casual and appears unsuitable for a hero, given its simplicity.

Although his outfit reflects his character well, it’s crucial to put some thought and care into it to ensure it doesn’t undermine his image as a hero. Unfortunately, Koji’s costume lacks any unique elements that highlight his superpower.
