My Hero Academia cosplayer makes waves as The Big 3’s Nejire Hado

My Hero Academia’s Nejire Hado was brought to life by a cosplayer’s mind-blowing costume. The artist used special effects to blast waves as The Big 3 heroine. 

Very few series have had the impact that My Hero Academia has had since its 2016 debut. The cultural phenomena has hooked viewers around the world with its story about a high-school that trains teenagers with abilities called ‘quirks.’

A cosplayer re-created student Nejire Hado’s superpowers using special effects, and it’s one of the best takes on the character we’ve ever seen. The artist’s accurate depiction will leave fans seeing double.

Students in the popular anime attend U.A. High – one of the premiere schools that focuses on training the next generation of heroes. At the top of her peers, Nejire is considered one of The Big 3 at the institution.

Cosplayer ‘nori_boop‘ dressed up as the MHA character, and teamed up with photographer ‘teshibu‘ to show off her take on Hado’s hero costume, which consists of a blue bodysuit with mint green spirals around her arms and boots.

The artist nailed the heroine’s iconic periwinkle hairstyle, capturing her side-swept bangs and spiral horns which raise up from behind her ears. ‘Rolecosplaycostume‘ supplied the cosplayer with the detailed wig.

In the story, Nejire’s quirk is called Wave Motion, and allows the student to convert her vitality into powerful blasts of energy. Her shockwave attacks come out in the shape of spiral formations.

Re-creating a scene from the anime, Nori strikes the heroine’s signature fighting stance. Using special effects, the wave particles begin to form from her yellow gauntlets.

Nori also cleverly simulated Nejire’s flying ability, which she achieves by releasing her energy from her feet. Using amazing editing, the cosplayer truly looks like the Class 3-A heroine floating in the air.
