BNHA - The Character Design and Why It's Funny 

I am Australian I SPEAK DIFFERENT FROM YOU PEOPLE PLEASE

Could he be... *scarred?*

We’re not talking about Endeavour, the man who wants facial hair so bad he uses his quirk to make it? Okay then.

I love how it’s canon that the students basically designed their own hero suits, so imagine bakugo sitting down like “yeeeaaahh, I want grenade gauntlets.” Or Sero like “ah yes, t a p e h e l m e t.”

THIS MADE ME REALIZE THAT TSU’S HAIR MAKES A BOW BECAUSE ITS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE FROG LEGS

When I saw Deku's first hero costume, I didn't realize he was copying AllMight. I thought he was going for a rabbit design.

I mean... show the cast to someone who's never watched the show and ask 'whos the main character?' wonder how they'll respond.

The fact sero was created when the author looked at tape-

i laughed so fucking hard the first time i saw aoyama because like. the sparkles are literally part of his design. and his personality. he's just a sparkly flamboyant frenchaboo who likes cheese that's it that's aoyama

Let's not forget Mina, the girl who literally looks like an alien on first look.

The fact that “Shoto” directly translates to “burn/freeze”

Ok, but I love how american almights design is. Like, they literally shade him differently just so that he looks like an american cartoon and I find that hilarious

When I saw best jeanist for the first time I laughed so loud because his WHOLE costume is just jeans and more jeans and more jeans like-

I guess you can say their designs are a bit QUIRKY

Can we talk about Best Jeanist like his whole entire costume is just jeans, upside down jeans, mask, even his sleeves are made out of jeans I’m done 💀

midoria literally means green, denki kaminari means electric thunder, ashido means acid, minoru means fruit, TOKOYAMI LITERALLY TRANSLATES TO EVERLASTING DARKNESS yOu GuYS iM-

This complete lack of the word subtle is exactly why I love their designs. Their looks dont hint their personality, they outright scream it with a buildboard behind them detailing everything with a speaker, as if giving a ted talk. And it works amazingly.

I heard subtle character design and my brain said *_A I Z A W A_*

This is basically half of every expression Todoroki makes: •-•

The first time I saw Todoroki I paused and went “Is that a cold zuko?” How RIGHT I was lmao

To counter this I'll share one of my fav posts. Bakugo - angry, rage fueled explosion boy. Iida - by the books rule follower. One of them has tried to murder someone, and one of them goes to bed at 8 o'clock.

"has removed the word chill from his vocabulary" i have never heard a more accurate summary of bakugo

*let's not pretend that todoroki's first hero costume didn't exist*

Before watching the show I was always confused why the costumes and everything looked so ridiculous. And then, when they got their costumes and the show explained how they had designed them themselves, it all made so much sense. As a friend put it, "Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what you would expect a bunch of fourteen year olds to design if they were making their own hero costumes."

I love how Todoroki was literally based off of zuko

I- I can't believe I didn't realize Sero's hair looks like ripped tape... What have I done...How did I not know this- Who am I?

The fact that "Denki Kaminari" literally translates into "electric thunder"

i gotta say, my favorite of the obvious character designs is probably how mineta’s hero costume includes a bigass diaper. just straight up a huge diaper. i laughed so hard the first time i noticed it.

"walking grenade" LMAO I LOST IT THERE-

Im surprised they didn't out my boy Kirishima for looking like a mountain peek lmfao

Ok, but have you seen shigaraki? HE'S LITERALLY A FACEPALM

4:16 It could just be me but is sero picking fun at how iida is placing his arms, like copying him.

Can't we talk about Shihai from class 1-B? I mean, come on, the guy is literally the meme of that black dude who opens and closes his eyes in the dark while laughing, but transformed into a character.

Who needs to be subtle when you can just *i am a tape dispenser*

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT NEJIRE sLEEPS WITH HER HAIR WRAPPED AROUND HER LIKE A BURRITO LIKE HOW IS THAT EVEN PHYSICALLY POSSI-

“Subtle character design” he’s wearing rainbow crocs 🤣

I love Aoyama's design because it's simply hilarious! Can you tell he's over the top? That he's flamboyant? That his quirk may have something to do with sparkles? Maybe not, so let's make him stare at the FUCKING CAMERA everytime he's in frame!

...you put it into words...

Kirishima: sleeveless shirts? Well now welcome shirtless sleeves!

Most characters names actually got something to do with either their quirk or their looks I love this super obvious character design style so much dude

And now, From Mineta "My Fingers Won't Reach Because Of My Character Design!" The one time he is funny, And It is when MHA starts poking fun at themselves XD

bro..i just noticed that froppys hair is like that because it looks like a frogs legs 😭😭😭😭

Sero doesn’t need to be a hero. He can be the ultimate tape salesman

That's why I love Horikoshi's character designs. He's just so honest with his art. His characters are so expressive and he tries to put their personality into every aspect of their design and he does it well.

I can see Sero becoming a commercial salesman for tape like.. just this is what I imagine him doing ~Shoots out tape~ *“THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE”*

I remember thinking that Kirishima's scar sould be like, in a battle where his family died or something but no, he cut himself... rubbing his eye... when he needed to pee. A true king. Also, he wears crocs.

Honestly I LOVE how obvious their designs are, it's Gold.

Everyone has an aesthetic and they are damn well sticking to it

"I feel like the creator is fvcking with me" The way you clowned his hero costume 💀 "Can you tell?... Can you tell she's a frog" "Can you tell?" 😭😂😂😂😭

i remember when i first saw Sero and thought "bitch looks like a walking Sellotape" and i completely lost it when i heard his name like just imagine for example how the name Liza comes from Elizabeth. Like somebody just asks him where the name Sero derives from and he just goes *Seroteipeu*

Don't get me STARTED on the names Sero Hanta Serohanteepu Cellotape ... .. .... e n d m e

Let’s not forget the sero’s name sounds like f-cking cello tape...serotape-

when i saw iida my first thought was : "wtf is sticking out of his calves?"

OH YEAH also can we talk about how Seros quirk isnt actually all that different from freaking Spidermans but the presentation is literally what made the biggest goddamn gap in their designs😂

Maybe sero's teeth are Like That to bite the tape like those tape dispensers

Sero’s teeth are like that because every show has a character with those teeth

1:59 "T A P E B O I" I'm literally laughing non-stop here, I know Sero's design is funny but you make it even funnier🤣

Can we mention aoyama where his eyes literally sparkle and his hero costume makes him look like a bedazzled knight with glitter he out here looking like a disco ball

"I FORGOT ABOUT HIS DAD, I FORGOT ABOUT HIS DAD"

Imma be honest with you man, one of the biggest reasons why I like the show so much is because of how unique the character design is. They all look so distinct, never in my life have I mistaken one character for another. I remember the names and appearances of all the class 1A kids, and last time time I sat down and watched the show was 3 years ago.

Okay but which character is the opposite of this? 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙤𝙙𝙖. He looks like an epic strong rock child but in reality he's a shy, nervous kid who can talk to animals. He srsly threw me off so much when I first saw him I can't-

mineta's hero outfit honestly makes him look like he's wearing either an upside down ufo or an oversized diaper .. please tell me i'm not the only one who noticed that so i don't feel so awkward .

i love the character designs in bnha but i will never get over bakugo i wheezed when i first saw tape boy tho sjdjs

I've spent the last 5 minutes crying from laughter after seeing mob in those crocs. I can't even continue the video, I'm dying here

I think Sero’s teeth might represent that sharp blade part of a tape dispenser that rips the tape off for you

Lmao the designs are obvious af and it’s hilarious but my forgetful ass can remember half of their quirks so I just look at them and I’m like “oh yeah that’s diabetes guy” yknow

Boku No Hero is the embodiment of “teenagers designing hero costumes”. All their outfits are... amazing.

OK, funny story, I decided to ask my brother what he thought were the quirks of bnha characters before he watched the show.. the fact that he couldn't guess DENKI, TODOROKI AND SERO, is HILARIOUS to me

It's so hard to tell something about kirishima based on his design. He has red, spiky hair and shark teeth. Before ive started watching the show, my cousin made me guess the quirks of some of the characters and I couldn't tell anything about kiri.

Not to mention the name though Mei hatsume: "hatsume" means "invention" Midoriya Izuku: probably came from the word "midori" which means "green" just like his hair. While "Deku" means useless. Bakugo katsuki: the word came from "bakuhatsu" which means "explosion" and "katsuki" came from "katsu" which means "victory" Denki kaminari: literally means "electric thunder" Ashido: a Japanese pronunciation of "acid" Mineta: someone said that the word came from another language which means someone who's doing oral sex (LMAO) idk if this is intentional tho. It could be just a wild coincidence. Uraraka: the word means "peaceful and wonderful". Fits her personality Tetsutetsu: literally means "steel steel" Hagakure: came from the word "gakure" means "hidden" like her quirk Tokoyami: means "eternal darkness" while "fumikage" means shadow, fits his quirk. Sero: came from "cellotape" Sato: literally means "sugar" since his quirk is sugar rush Iida tenya: came from "idaten" some sort of japanese God that can run fast. Tsuyu: means "rainy season". Make sense since she's a frog Yaoyorozu: means "eight millions" or "countless things" because she can create countless things Shoto: the word means "burn and freeze"

honestly, this is why i really love the character designs. so many of them are so over-the-top and ridiculous. like Best Jeanist he’s just fucking jeans

Bakugo's hair literally makes an explosion sound when it "booms" out of the best jeanist hair style! When that happened I died!

I can’t help but look at bakuguo and think of a angry Pomeranian 😂I can’t take him seriously anymore when he gets angry cause he just look like a confused angry Pomeranian 🤣I’m dead 💀

My favorite thing about bnha is that It becomes the ultimate spot the protaganist game

sero looks like the default male mii

I love how sero’s helmet looks like a tape dispenser-

Reading Bakugou can "kill with his knees" was the best thing I've ever read about a character. 100/10 character design. Love it!

Sero's teeth are like that because it looks like the "teeth" on a scotch tape dispenser

When you look up the meaning of their names....You know the creator did this on purpose

I wonder what Cementos’ power could possibly be? 🧐🧐🧐

It took me so long (until now) to realize that the training uniforms have UA on it and it’s not just some random marks

The way horokoshi made sero basically goes like this: "Ah tape wonder if I could make a character out of this" Edit: AYO⁉️ 5.4K LIKES??

this whole video sounds like a school presentation that a student did thats just making fun of all his class mates and im here for that

"I FORGOT ABOUT HIS DAD" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

*Don’t even get me started on Hagakure’s character design-*

Todoroki: Denki somthing really weird happend to me today.. Denki: Oh? Spill the tea! Class 1-a: ... Todoroki: 👁💧👄💧👁

I've never watched MHA, and tape dispenser guy has me dead.

BNHA and Dungeon meshi are masterclasses in character design for whole different reasons XDDD

I’ve rewatched this so many times because it brings me so much joy Laughter is good for the soul and spiky hair is good for bakugo✌🏼

I’m so glad Midoriya got a costume change. When I saw that furry bunny cosplay he had on I laughed so hard

The episode when Bakugo’s hair is flattened made me lose my shit.🤣

Horikoshi creating Sero: "Hey what if Spiderman got bit by a tape dispenser instead?"

Love how sero is just "tape boy"

"His elbows are tape dispenser" well yes, that's his quirk

THE BURNING MUSTACHE SENDS ME but really gotta say i love their funny and creative designs

Aoyama is there for the tea and it's quite obvious, look at his eyes and his smile and also his ✨sparkle✨

I was today years old when I found out that Sero's helmet is literally a tape dispenser.

He turns himself into a tape, funniest shit i've ever seen

Now we know why bakuhoe thotsuki makes fun of everyone and gives them nicknames

Man I love his character but DAMN Todoroki looks like he was designed by a 12 yr old but I'm fully here for it-
