My Hero Academia: The 10 Worst Quirks In Class 1-A
10. Mina Ashido - Acid
The lower entrants on this list are certainly not terrible
quirks - they just suffer from a particular drawback, or are less useful than
some of the other more versatile heroes in the class. The tenth spot
could have gone to a number of students, be it Eijiro Kirishima’s mutant eczema
or Kyoka Jiro the human aux chord. But all things considered, Mina takes this
spot, with her ability to emit acidic fluid from her body.
First off, it’s just kind of gross. Shooting your sticky, hot goo around is not the most charming way to fight crime. Even her graceful skating technique loses its chic when you consider she’s sliding around in her own bodily slop.
There’s no doubt its strong, easily burning through solid objects, but this also makes it hard to control, as demonstrated when Kaminari tells her to hold back in their test against Nezu, for fear of “melting the principal”.
Let’s just agree there was missed potential for a much more interesting, psychedelic quirk called “acid”, or at least something a little less... icky.
