I don’t think Horikoshi has drawn any girl as particularly paunchy in a long while.

Also Mirko is the best, bring her back

Please, this is all I have
If Hagakure dyed her hair and put makeup on and colored contact lenses wouldn't she be mostly visible? Especially with a body suit or something like Midnight wore.

Drawing on her face during a sleepover would be a neat gag. Surprised the closest thing to getting covered in paint (Or bleeding) to reveal her was just covered in mushrooms

It's also a little unsettling that she just runs around almost everywhere naked but she's just a gag character that has the least screen time in the show already

I remain hopeful that he will eventually develop into a well-rounded mature adult, wincing whenever he remembers how he used to behave in his teens.

Not that I'm defending anything about Mineta in any way, but he has gotten slightly less awful over the series. I can't think of anything perverted he's done since the school festival, although that might also just be due to a lack of screentime.

Horikoshi always says Mineta is the character most like him but the final panel will reveal that Mineta actually drew this entire series.

I mean Mineta is clearly a paper-thin veil for Horikoshi to do things he wants to do while getting narrative cover for them.

Do not hate Mineta, pity him, for he exists to die for Horikoshi's sins

Also he actually gets to be funny sometimes and he's had a few good scenes (the fight against Midnight, where he had his whole gimmick turned right back on him). I think a scene that really stood out for his character was in the first movie where he scales a building with his quirk and gets a genuine thanks and a compliment from Melissa. Does he horn it up? Nope, his eyes well up with tears of happiness and he rallies everyone to keep pushing through.

If Horikoshi leaned less on Mineta's relentless horniness and more on that side of things he'd be better and he generally has been better, although that's also partially because along with a lot of class A he just hasn't shown up as much lately.

E: And if Mineta does have to do horny poo poo just make it like the setup and punchline of A Clockwork Grape because that was actually funny

Mineta also wears a diaper as a hero outfit, so, like, it's pretty clear what he's there for

That's the other big reason he doesn't show up much anymore. Horikoshi realizes he no longer needs to be horny through Mineta when he can just openly draw Mirko whenever he wants.

My hot Mineta take is that he’s kinda poo poo but him getting dunked on for being a piece of poo poo is a good gag. Him trying to use the peephole and getting jabbed by Jiro’s ear jack was one of the best bits in the series, for instance, and the hot spring bit of him just falling to his death at the top was funny too.

It probably helps that nothing he does is treated as fine, most of the cast are usually “dude, not cool” or I’d feel grosser about his antics.

It’s simple really, the paunch on Momo is her chest being the size of her head

If you think about it, the ideal body shape for Momo to optimize her quirk usage would be "as fat as possible". :thunk:

Aw the shadow bird is just neat as hell.

I like the rocket girl. Her design looks kind of high effort compared to the other B-Team people so I suspect that this is not a one-shot character.

Iceman gets some story so that's nice.

A little tired of exploady-boi.

I'd say the low point of the series was the messy middle of the Overhaul arc. The anime tightened it up and made it pretty good, so it's easy to forget how much of an unfocused disaster it was at the time.

Edit: Unless you specifically mean the anime, in which case, yeah.
