No regrets! If we lose, we lose! But... are my friends losing because of me? I won't let that happen!Juzo Honenuki in "Detour"
This article is about the Class 1-B student. For the Nighteye Agency sidekick known as Centipeder, see Juzo Moashi.
Juzo Honenuki (
Appearance[]
Juzo is a pale-skinned young man with angular eyes, mid-length spiked hair of a beige color, a flat nose, and small eyebrows. His most unusual feature is his teeth, which sit outside his skin. He has no discernible lips, giving him a skull-like appearance, though this is not related to his Quirk in any readily apparent way. According to Kohei Horikoshi, he has the appearance of a good-looking guy.[3]
His hero costume is slightly similar to Tenya Ida's and Hanta Sero's in that they both consist of a dark bodysuit with a set of armor over the top and a mask that covers the face. However, rather than being knight-like, Juzo's helmet is rounder and elliptical, tinted black with orange lines supporting the sides. The helmet does not cover his entire head; some tufts of hair around the back of his head and chin are still visible. Juzo's helmet also has a retractable snorkel, which he uses for swimming under softened surfaces.
His chest plate comprises three pieces, held on by two thick metal straps over his shoulders and a jewel-shaped scale supported between them. He wears orange vambraces and plates over his thighs, calves, and upper arms. He also sports a pair of elevated, green, and orange boots with pipe-like shafts, white gloves on his hands, and white kneepads.

Personality[]
Juzo hates losing; however, like the rest of his class, he does not feel bad about letting others receive what they deserve, as shown when he lets his classmates continue at the Sports Festival.
Juzo is also shown to have a calm, understanding demeanor when dealing with his classmates' antics, notably during the Joint Training Battle. Juzo notably cares about his friends' well-being, mentioning that he would satisfy them due to his mistake during Round 3 of his battle against Team 3-A. He is constantly being praised for his "soft and flexible thinking" by Sen Kaibara.
Juzo has admitted he must be more stubborn to win battle in unfavorable conditions. When Tenya unveiled "Recipro Turbo", Juzo realized he was at a grave disadvantage and decided to retreat, showing his excellent judgment towards fight or flight.
Juzo does not put up with Neito Monoma's complaining about Class A and implores his classmates to tell them directly, which he does.
Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: Juzo is a recommended student, implying he possesses a very high skill level. Mashirao Ojiro noted that Juzo has great reflexes that allowed him to counter Shoto Todoroki's "Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall" before the attack completely encased Juzo's team in ice. Juzo has an excellent handle on his Quirk, Softening, allowing him to easily control the surrounding environment to his advantage by restricting enemy movement and dictating the flow of a battle. Juzo can use his Quirk effectively against opponents who rely on their footing during battles, such as Tenya and Mashirao Ojiro. By making the ground muddy and diving into it, Juzo can swim through softened material, quickly moving around a battlefield undetected or escaping an enemy too overwhelming to handle. This same tactic is used for sneaking on enemies as well. Coupled with his excellent reflexes, Juzo can effectively counter enemy attacks that rely on solid substances, turning those into harmless goo before they can affect him.
During round three of the Joint Training Battle, Juzo immobilized the opposing team of Class 1-A, but when Tenya activated his new technique, "Recipro Turbo", Juzo decided to retreat, knowing he could not win a drawn-out fight against opponents that had an advantage over him.
Keen Intellect: As one of the recommended students that got into U.A. High School, Juzo demonstrates a high level of flexibility and intelligence. This skill was seen during the Joint Training, where Juzo could analyze his teammates' flaws and create a disadvantage for his enemies using his keen observation. By using knowledge of the different fighting styles and Quirks of people, Juzo could correctly discern the opposing team's strategy. Noticing Shoto's habit of starting a fight with ice attacks, Juzo was able to use the generated ice to his advantage and trap Shoto's team in the softened ice.[2]
- Bilingualism: Juzo speaks both Japanese and English competently as he can hold a conversation in English with his classmate Pony Tsunotori.[4]
