Four has always given me some serious 80s Enya vibes...

This really puts it into perspective that there's a huge disparity in class A. 6 girls and 14 boys...what's up with that?

Not as many girls have awakened super abilities? I mean, in Deku's case he wasn't born with extra-special abilities nor was he going to awaken any. He was given power and responsibility. So the chance of awakening one's abilities is probably by chance.

I guess whatever it is that awakens quirks has been more male based this time around. Although I'm sure that there was probably a time where more females awakened then men.

I wonder, did the manga ever explain just what awakens a quirk or is that up to the reader's imagination?

A "quirk" is just a genetic trait in their world, and they will usually manifest between birth to age 4. There are no "triggers" nor "awakenings", they just naturally appear.

After that age, you're either genetically born quirkless (increasingly rare in Deku's time), or you have a quirk that's not easily detectable in a child (e.g. maybe you derive super-strength from alcohol consumption like how Satou derives his from sugar consumption)

As for the gender disparity, I'm not sure what part of it is an issue. Even in real life, there are many variables that will affect the class composition year by year, course by course (e.g. engineering comes to mind). I've seen classes and courses with much more guys than girls, I've seen the reverse, and I even know a guy who was the only male in his class!

Most quirks are not very useful in heroics (Deku's mom has the ability to pull small objects towards her at a pretty slow speed), and not everybody wants to be a hero. Maybe it just so happens that this year, there were more males with suitable heroics quirks that applied to U.A.

Why does everyone who is shorter than Momo wear unique belts, but everyone taller than her wears the same style of belt?

Keep in mind that being a hero is a very dangerous job, and in real life women tend to avoid professions that can put them in serious physical harm, such as police work or construction (compare the ratio of male workers to female workers for perspective in those jobs). With this in mind the disparity makes sense.

Serious question: does Mineta have some kind of dwarfism?

He probably has something like what La Brava's has. Not sure if it's dwarfism though.

Why's she look like that girl from Mezzo Forte?

It's cause Umetsu Yasuomi kind of always draws the same girl. On the side, I think she's closer to Sawa from Kite/A Kite. IMDB image reference.

Funny enough I also have blaziken and gardevoir in my Pokémon emerald too they like brother and sister to me

Nice T-shirt

Uh, have you seen Kikyou? She is most definitely not flat.

So cute
:IkuSparkle:

She's not identifiable enough to tag, but the artist says the redhead on the left is Hatori Chise from Mahou Tsukai no Yome.

Is this a parody of something?

It’s a reference to a scene from the ping pong animation, where one of the characters (Kong Wenge) sings ‘Hitori Bocchi no Christmas Eve’. You can see here at 1:02 https://youtu.be/8i93vXUKqnI?si=B0JyPaPttL5HXSrA

cool art of all them

I honestly forgot how long ago the Anson thing was. I guess it takes some more time to find a way to rebrand her if they even plan on using the design for something.

Around 6 month ago apparently

THANK YOU! This goes a LONG way to helping my issues with Lexington's design - her and Saratoga were as identical as it gets.

You don’t see this Edmond design every day.

This aged well

He deserved it.

My favourite illustration of the bunch.

I believe the gun in this drawing is a G3.

While it may be hard to tell the difference between a FAL and a G3 at first sight, the former has a stumpier front sight and a longer barrel while the latter has a taller front sight and shorter barrel.
