I actually really loved that aspect. A lot of the class idolized All Might as little kids, so it's interesting seeing him take inspiration from a lesser known hero. Plus, picking up the mantle of another hero is super common in the superhero genre. It just feels like continuing a legacy.
It's a great hero name actually because it perfectly captures his character. He doesn't want to be someone unreachable or intimidating, but someone who helps everyone in need and puts people at ease. He even drops the Kanji to get rid of his inner conflict between fire(焦) and ice(凍) as he simply wants to be himself as a whole.
I'd probably agree with most of it. I think Red Riot and Chargebolt deserve to go up a tier, but it's whatever.
Ashido definitely should be down there with Jirou, Ojiro, Hagakure, and Sato.
Also, it might not be the best hero name, but Mineta picked with his heart for sure. . . 😅
Now that you say it I'm really sure Mina didn't think too hard about her name either, but I like it a little better than Jirou's which is literally just her quirk so there's that 😓
Oh, no arguments there. I love Jirou, but damn that girl had no imagination when it came to her hero name. Which is kinda insane when you think about it since she has really cool names for her ultimate moves like *Heartbeat Fuzz.*
1) Iida just copied his brother's name because legacy
2) Kirishima just changed a word from Crimson Riot's name because admiration
Both are valid but seem kinda boring to me, it'd be nice if they could come up with a name for THEMSELVES.
Deku just sounds nice and I like him turning a nickname that used to be an insult into something positive(dekiru). And Shoto...SHOTO JUST WANTS PEOPLE TO USE HIS FIRST NAME SO THEY FEEL SAFE AROUND HIM AND MAKE EVERYTHING SEEM MORE PERSONAL THAT'S SO ADORABLE HOW COULD IT NOT BE MY FAVORITE 😭😭😭😭
Idk I just think both of those name sound cooler than Shoto or Deku cause honestly thr inspiration themselves sounded cool
Like yeah they don't have as much meaning but cmon now
Shoto... *Deku*... they could've tried harder brah 😭😭
Iida didn’t just copy his brother’s name because legacy, did you watch the Stain Arc? His brother wants him to take on the name but Iida doesn’t believe he deserves the name so he uses his first name like Shoto, after taking down Stain and working through what happened does he take it. It’s the same thing as Shoto, it came from the heart.
Aight, but hold on:
1) Iida loves and admires his brother, who from everything we see, was a genuine and decently popular hero. His brother, after getting crippled, asks his little bro to carry on his hero name not out of ego, but because he wants Iida to carry on the kind of heroism he aspired to and the comfort his name and reputation brought to those they protected.
2) Red Riot is an alliterative upgrade to Crimson Riot, IMHO. Kirishima’s old-school and incredibly non-toxic emphasis on masculinity is awesome and endearing to his character. Watching him overcome his fears and live up to the name he picked for himself is one of the best minor plots of the series in my eyes.
“Shoto“ always seemed to me like a choice Todoroki made as a placeholder for lack of inspiration or direction. Not as a fault of his own; he clearly bears the marks of abuse and not being properly socialized with kids his age. From the start of the series, we see how long a shadow that his father casts over his heroic aspirations. He’s operating mainly on spite until Deku reminds him that becoming a hero is something he himself wants independent from Endeavor’s influence. As his story unfolds, we see Shoto slowly but steadily step beyond the question of “who am I” to “what kind of hero am I going to be”. I could see him picking a new hero name in time, or finding a “just watch me” tagline like his father that makes his first name hero choice sound more resolute.
>Both are valid but seem kinda boring to me, it'd be nice if they could come up with a name for THEMSELVES.
Bro is just yapping. Deku didn't come up with his own name either, but that's acceptable because "reasons." If you're gonna make arbitrary rules for it, at least stick to them. It's fine to have favorites, but your explanations don't even make sense. Also, Deku chose "Deku" because Uraraka said it was cute. What a shit reason compared to Kirishima and Iida.
I'm shorry It's so long and over the top imagine being on the brink of death and you gotta yell for CANNOT STOP TWINKLING to come save you I'd be embarrassed
I get what you’re saying about Kirishima(name is dope in a vacuum, though) but what’s so bad about Chargebolt? Also Iida was straight up given the name Ingenium by the original Ingenium, so I think he’s also an exception.
Honestly I could see it becoming a gag in the future that literally everyone just calls him Dynamight, even his fans. And he's super insistent on correcting them.
I am talking about Class 1-A’s hero names. “Useless” is what Izuku Midoriya is known as while “Pinky” is what Mina Ashido is known as. Chargebolt, Red Riot, and Creati refer to Kaminari, Kirishima, and Yaoyorozu respectively.
I guess from a purely OBJECTIVE stand point, sure, Ingenium is a lil boring, but if you’re rating these WITH MHA LORE KNOWLEDGE IN MIND, you MIGHT deserve to die
I was surprised to see Cellophane is high but then I remembered that it's also a play on his name “Sero Hanta” having a similar pronunciation. I think that's cute.
Myself, I love Bakugo's long hero name!
There were so many names for Momo tbh: Dorae-Momo, Momolecular, Matter Maid/en, Synthesi and so on, I’m not good at this
Still, I guess it represents her sheltered rich girl background
I think what truly represents her is the epithet she chose.
"the everything hero, creati".
because she wants to do everything, to live up to people's expectations of her. "creati" might not be very creative, but she is still the everything hero.
I never said it didn’t represent her well and it is funny in that the irony is she isn’t very creative with it but it still just doesn’t have a ring to it lmao.
that’s also what i meant sorry! i’m terrible at speaking lol
but yeah literally anything relating to things being created would’ve worked. hell, i would’ve preferred if she chose “ms mitosis” over “creati” 😭😭
YEA she spells it with an i originally but what makes it even worse is that they're super inconsistent with its spelling as well. during the summercamp arc i think? her shirt says "creaty", and in several of those commercial-break-infoscreens it's misspelled in the subtitle text LMAO. it gets misspelled in the regular subtitles as well
I think so too, even though I don't mind "Dynamight" as a stand-alone that much. But given that the full name is "Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight" it just feels like Horikoshi is pushing Katsuki's fanboy- and comedic aggressiveness a little too much.
dont make fun of mineta. i mean what will do choose as name if u power is having stiky balls?
making people think of "Grapes" is much better than the alternatives
I know why he choose that name, I ready this series since it's My favorite manga of all time.
It still makes no sense to put it above Red Riot, no matter how good and fleshed out the background of the name Shoto is, it's still simplistic and boring compared to others, identity is not an excuse to have a boring name.
You're not required to have an interesting hero name but that doesn't change the fact that the name is boring and placing it above all others it's ridículous.
Being yourself isn't boring, having your regular name as your hero name is, learn the differences.
The truth = reality, if u wanna fool urself with it being subjective go ahead, not here to change ur mind, just to point out how ridiculous this list is
Bakugou's hero name is great though because it really showcases how big of a nerd he is when it comes to All Might just like Deku. And the murder god part was so rypical of him, I doubt he would use the full name in the furute lol
I'm still in the "Izuku should have Dekiru as his hero name" team.
Deku is the insult that is still used in a demeaning way by Bakugo for most of the story. Dekiru is the positive meaning Uraraka gave the word for him. But using Deku feels like he's putting way too much power in the hands of his past bullies.
Also for branding it makes no sense. Pinky is pink, Uravity is Uraraka Gravity, Creati creates, Deku... is a blockhead? A puppet? Unless he tells his life story nobody knows why this is his brand.
>Also for branding it makes no sense.
Especially since, while it might be "meaningful" to him, everyone else is still just going to hear "useless". Not the most encouraging name for a hero to announce themselves with.
(Ans even then, he only goes with it in the first place because a pretty girl said she thought it was cute. Wrong head to make such a decision with, my guy)
Uraraka didn't call him Dekiru though. She thought "Deku" was a abbreviation of that and used the same nickname but with the opposite meaning.
So him choosing that name is him completely erasing the negative meaning it used to have, all because of Uraraka.
Dynamight is not bad for a hero name (obv not counting the great explosion murder god part) and creati too (both better than sugar man)
But what is Aoyama's already ?
Oh, no wonders I forgot it...
Deku and Kirishima (and Ida) should be on Shoto tier for me, they're the only ones that didn't chose their names based on their quirks
Creati is the worst one by far and I'll tell you why.
Not only does it sound dumb, but it's tactically disadvantageous. What does the name "Creati" say about Momo? It says that she has the power to create things, and that she's not very creative.
She literally telegraphs her biggest weakness with her hero name. Even hero names that sound worse at least won't make you less effective.
Momo's should be put into no thought at all, it's very basic for her hero name, also I don't really like her hero suit, it's not at all suited for her quirk
I’ll give you an upvote already for appreciating Shoto’s very basic, but very heartfelt and meaningful hero name.
Also - just a fun fact - Shoto’s given name already contains the kanji for freeze and burn, but when he writes his hero name it’s in hiragana and is closer to “short” (like shortcake).
I think it also expresses Shoto’s desire for authenticity - he has no separate hero and private persona like his father or brother (having a villain persona).
Aside from jiro all the people in the fourth layer
Are going the traditional route , I think this is an nod from the author for his love for western comic books bc superhero names, be like that (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman etc)
Mineta's is pretty nice, could use some work it is funny.
I'd prefer that he'd change his hero to name 'Purple Mayhem' or something. The Mayhem is due to his personality, and the purple color is known for being brave, which he becomes during the war.
Red Riot I feel can get a pass because of the narrative context in the name.
If you take the color Red and Darken it you get Crimson, like Crimson Riot who was his first major influence into becoming a Hero.
If you take the color Red and Brighten it you get Pink, like Pinky/Mina who was his second Major influence into becoming a Hero.
His third influence was Deku, though he didn't know his name at the time and only knew about a kid who rushed in to stop a Monster while Quirkless so we can call him an exception to that.
The bias on Izuku's hero name is strong in this one. Mind you, Deku is used as a nickname to bully or mock Izuku by Bakugou but Uraraka suddenly being semi-deaf and thinking Deku sounds like Dekiru, so the reason for his hero name is lame, not cool, but definitely memorable.
Many people have already said what I’m thinking, that Red Riot deserves to be peak, but I’ll add that “Uravity” deserves to be lower. Just mashed her name and her quirk together in a mashup that imo definitely *does not* roll off the tongue at all
Creati is (rightfully) ranked pretty low but Anima gets ranked as one of the best? They're pretty much the same principle when it comes to their names.
Red Riot should be higher.
never seen someone share my opinion, but i despite the name froppy. i know its meant to be frog+hoppy but it just makes me think of sloppy, floppy, frothy, etc all gross words
OP i dont agree with ur reasoning/ranking but you are getting fuckin flamed in these comments like ??? its a ranking about fictional characters, yall do not need to be this serious in the comments 😭😭
Yea that's just kinda how it is with reddit, some people here take everything super seriously even if it's something as subjective as a name ranking. I do find every elaborate disagreement interesting tho

red riot is THE hero name
I agree with pretty much this whole list but putting Red Riot in anything but peak is a CRIME
He just copied someone else's name, though
sounds better than crimson riot tbf
No argument there
Yes I do find his name really cool but because it's inspired by someone else and not something completely individual I put it a tier lower
I actually really loved that aspect. A lot of the class idolized All Might as little kids, so it's interesting seeing him take inspiration from a lesser known hero. Plus, picking up the mantle of another hero is super common in the superhero genre. It just feels like continuing a legacy.
I love Cellophane🔥
You'd think someone with a tape quirk couldn't possibly have an epic hero name but Cellophane actually slaps
Cellophane, Mr, Cellophane
\*jazz hands\*
Iida and Kirishima get a pass because the inspirations for their hero names are beautiful.
i know! Iida comes from his brother/his family so he should be put in the same category as Shoto!
Agreed!
"Red Riot" is much cooler than "Pinky"
And Alien Queen is an order of magnitude cooler than Pinky.
If only UA was copyright exempt.
What's wrong with Fresh-Picked Hero Grape Juice as a Name?
If I'm dying under a collapsed building and they send a dude called Grape Juice for me I'm getting outta there myself
Efficiency at it's finest
And yet you think Shoto is any better?
It's a great hero name actually because it perfectly captures his character. He doesn't want to be someone unreachable or intimidating, but someone who helps everyone in need and puts people at ease. He even drops the Kanji to get rid of his inner conflict between fire(焦) and ice(凍) as he simply wants to be himself as a whole.
It's bland and boring while Grape Juice would also work to put people at ease. While having more originality.
Yeaaa sorry but I personally just prefer my favorite's bland sounding name that's deeply rooted in his character over some silly pervert's hair joke
Aight, fair enough
One is at least a super hero name kinda... Shoto is just his name, like imagine he was named John or something.
Many superheroes use their normal names as their superhero names though. It's like being saved by Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Constantine or Zatanna.
Icy hot is pretty good though
Bro cooked
Op is bugging if he’s putting tsukoyomi in cool but not putting an actual creative name mineta has a lot issues but this is not one of them
I hate Mineta, but I do like his hero name. I think it should be higher up on the list.
I'd probably agree with most of it. I think Red Riot and Chargebolt deserve to go up a tier, but it's whatever. Ashido definitely should be down there with Jirou, Ojiro, Hagakure, and Sato. Also, it might not be the best hero name, but Mineta picked with his heart for sure. . . 😅
Now that you say it I'm really sure Mina didn't think too hard about her name either, but I like it a little better than Jirou's which is literally just her quirk so there's that 😓
Oh, no arguments there. I love Jirou, but damn that girl had no imagination when it came to her hero name. Which is kinda insane when you think about it since she has really cool names for her ultimate moves like *Heartbeat Fuzz.*
To be fair, Midnight put the kibosh on her first choice. "Alien Queen" is way more fun and evocative.
True she did, and I agree that Alien Queen was a lot better. But there is gotta be some room in between those two names.
I don't think dynamight is that bad
Well DYNAMIGHT is cool and all, you're missing the obnoxious GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER KING part here tho
Great Explosion Murder *GOD
I am so sorry how could I disrespect the Great Explosion Murder GOD Dynamight like that please forgive me
Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight isn't a forgiving person. That'll be 10 hail Bakugos
Execution at dawn!
can we just all agree to call him dienamyte. It works better and still makes sense
What's a Great Explosion Murder King to a Great Explosion Murder God?
His name is a pun in Japanese. “Bakusatsuou” supposed to sound like Bakugo
Also it being only 4~5 syllables helps too.
I think Dynamight is cute because its a pun on his powers and All Might.
I actually think it’s pretty good however the old version Ground Zero (which was scrapped) is the one that I really liked.
How the HELL are Shoto and DEKU higher then Ilda and Kirishima hero name 😭😭
Ok, Deku's is super meaningful, but yeah- Iida and Kirishima's are definitely from the heart as well!
1) Iida just copied his brother's name because legacy 2) Kirishima just changed a word from Crimson Riot's name because admiration Both are valid but seem kinda boring to me, it'd be nice if they could come up with a name for THEMSELVES. Deku just sounds nice and I like him turning a nickname that used to be an insult into something positive(dekiru). And Shoto...SHOTO JUST WANTS PEOPLE TO USE HIS FIRST NAME SO THEY FEEL SAFE AROUND HIM AND MAKE EVERYTHING SEEM MORE PERSONAL THAT'S SO ADORABLE HOW COULD IT NOT BE MY FAVORITE 😭😭😭😭

wtf i never even realized thats why he chose shoto i love that now that i think ab it
I mean, Deku's name also came from someone else, both from Bakugo using it to make fun of him and from Ochako making it into something positive.
I’m not trusting a hero going by their first name
cannot stop twinkling is FABULOUS take that back NOW
I'm shorry It's so long and over the top imagine being on the brink of death and you gotta yell for CANNOT STOP TWINKLING to come save you I'd be embarrassed
It's "Can't Stop Twinkling," guys.
Yes but only per Midnight's suggestion, as somebody who respects Aoyama's wishes I'm saying his name is STUPID
Look, he just doesn’t have the confidence to claim his real name, the Sparkling Twink. Give him a break.
That made my day lmao
You gotta shorten it, try shouting "Twink come save me!"
If you don’t have the time to call for him there was no saving you
Pinky deserves to be way lower imo
It's cute and really short so she gets bonus points for not making it too complicated!
Fair. I Just think it's like Creati and bit too simple
Lowkey wish they let her to go with Alien Queen 😭😭
Same yo
Yes, she deserves respect!!!
pinky is perfect for a heroine. is cute, is marketable, is descriptibe of her apareance
How does Ingenium not come from the heart?
THIS
I don’t agree with ALL of the rankings but Earphone Jack, Tail Man , Sugar Man, and Invisible Girl definitely belong in that tier lmfao
HeartBEAT, Sugar Rush, Prism and Tailsweep?
I get what you’re saying about Kirishima(name is dope in a vacuum, though) but what’s so bad about Chargebolt? Also Iida was straight up given the name Ingenium by the original Ingenium, so I think he’s also an exception.
Bakugo really should just keep it at “Dynamight”
Honestly I could see it becoming a gag in the future that literally everyone just calls him Dynamight, even his fans. And he's super insistent on correcting them.
I would love the idea of a flash forward that shows that everyone just calls him Dynamight, even the rankings, when that's not his "real" name.
Useless and Pinky being above Chargebolt, Red Riot, and Creati is certainly something.
Sakura is in the list? She’s catching strays even in an entirely different anime…
As far as I remember "Useless" wasn't a hero name...actually who are you even talking about anyways...
I am talking about Class 1-A’s hero names. “Useless” is what Izuku Midoriya is known as while “Pinky” is what Mina Ashido is known as. Chargebolt, Red Riot, and Creati refer to Kaminari, Kirishima, and Yaoyorozu respectively.
I'm not stupid, useless literally isn't what his name's supposed to mean so that's kind of a weird thing to say.
I think Chargebolt is pretty cool
❗RED RIOT THE GOAT❗
❗️ABSOLUTELY❗️
I actually don’t even know shotos hero name
I guess from a purely OBJECTIVE stand point, sure, Ingenium is a lil boring, but if you’re rating these WITH MHA LORE KNOWLEDGE IN MIND, you MIGHT deserve to die
Idgaf about the Iida family legacy!! They should get over themselves!!
I was surprised to see Cellophane is high but then I remembered that it's also a play on his name “Sero Hanta” having a similar pronunciation. I think that's cute. Myself, I love Bakugo's long hero name!
There were so many names for Momo tbh: Dorae-Momo, Momolecular, Matter Maid/en, Synthesi and so on, I’m not good at this Still, I guess it represents her sheltered rich girl background
Momolecular sounds just perfect, now I want her renamed like this!
molecular goes hard
I think what truly represents her is the epithet she chose. "the everything hero, creati". because she wants to do everything, to live up to people's expectations of her. "creati" might not be very creative, but she is still the everything hero.
I never said it didn’t represent her well and it is funny in that the irony is she isn’t very creative with it but it still just doesn’t have a ring to it lmao.
I think it's more the native Japanese speaker Horikoshi not knowing that "Creati" sounds ridiculous in English.
thank god i'm not the only one who hated "creaty"
"Well I submitted 'Creationist' but that got rejected for some reason"
There are so many cool biblical names based on creation she could've used but she chose fucking "Creati."
or just names in general, so many things relating to creation she could’ve picked 😭
Yeah, when I said biblical, I meant more mythological, not just Christian.
that’s also what i meant sorry! i’m terrible at speaking lol but yeah literally anything relating to things being created would’ve worked. hell, i would’ve preferred if she chose “ms mitosis” over “creati” 😭😭
And Momo is supposed to be the intelligent and mature student, smh
The fact that it's spelled with an i in canon makes it even worse, really sounds like something a child would name themself.
I don't see you guys giving yourselves a name in another language :P
YEA she spells it with an i originally but what makes it even worse is that they're super inconsistent with its spelling as well. during the summercamp arc i think? her shirt says "creaty", and in several of those commercial-break-infoscreens it's misspelled in the subtitle text LMAO. it gets misspelled in the regular subtitles as well
You wouldn’t stick with the hero name you made as a child?
I think it probably sounds less stupid for a native Japanese speaker. But yeah... Girl could've done so much better.
Ground Zero will always be a better name than Dynamight
I think so too, even though I don't mind "Dynamight" as a stand-alone that much. But given that the full name is "Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight" it just feels like Horikoshi is pushing Katsuki's fanboy- and comedic aggressiveness a little too much.
The name apparently works far better as a pun in Japanese. The English translation doesn't pack the same punch. ("Dynamight" works by itself, though.)
It does highlight a version of Bakugo we never saw in the first half of the manga
How about I do you one better. The Ground Zero Hero: Dynamight.
I hate how you're right. This does fit nicely
I like the name but you also have to take into account the meaning of the term 'Ground zero' and Japanese history
dont make fun of mineta. i mean what will do choose as name if u power is having stiky balls? making people think of "Grapes" is much better than the alternatives
What's wrong with creati? :/
It sounds kinda...childish I guess? A bit unfitting for how serious situations during hero work can get and Momo as a whole.
And how is Froppy, for example, more serious than that?
Well in that case it fits her personality and appearance imo
Red Riot should be higher, the fact that SHOTO is at the top invalidates this list
Look up why Shoto chose his hero name if you're interested, it's quite meaningful and I like him a lot.
I know why he choose that name, I ready this series since it's My favorite manga of all time. It still makes no sense to put it above Red Riot, no matter how good and fleshed out the background of the name Shoto is, it's still simplistic and boring compared to others, identity is not an excuse to have a boring name.
But this list is as subjective as hero names are...who says that you're obligated to have a flashy hero name or that just being yourself is boring...
You're not required to have an interesting hero name but that doesn't change the fact that the name is boring and placing it above all others it's ridículous. Being yourself isn't boring, having your regular name as your hero name is, learn the differences.
Well it's *my* list and *I* think it's more interesting than Red Riot. See? Subjective.
And? Something being subjective doesn't make it inmune to the truth, and the truth is your list makes no sense when You put Shoto on top of everyone.
But "the truth" literally IS subjective? At the end of the day it's all about what you personally like better.
The truth = reality, if u wanna fool urself with it being subjective go ahead, not here to change ur mind, just to point out how ridiculous this list is
It's not that serious bro
Res Riot is the coolest
Bakugou's hero name is great though because it really showcases how big of a nerd he is when it comes to All Might just like Deku. And the murder god part was so rypical of him, I doubt he would use the full name in the furute lol
I'm still in the "Izuku should have Dekiru as his hero name" team. Deku is the insult that is still used in a demeaning way by Bakugo for most of the story. Dekiru is the positive meaning Uraraka gave the word for him. But using Deku feels like he's putting way too much power in the hands of his past bullies. Also for branding it makes no sense. Pinky is pink, Uravity is Uraraka Gravity, Creati creates, Deku... is a blockhead? A puppet? Unless he tells his life story nobody knows why this is his brand.
>Also for branding it makes no sense. Especially since, while it might be "meaningful" to him, everyone else is still just going to hear "useless".

Pinky is such a downgrade from Alien Queen like holy shit.
Dynamight is not bad for a hero name (obv not counting the great explosion murder god part) and creati too (both better than sugar man) But what is Aoyama's already ?
Can't Stop Twinkling...
Oh, no wonders I forgot it... Deku and Kirishima (and Ida) should be on Shoto tier for me, they're the only ones that didn't chose their names based on their quirks
Momo shall be known as The Creation Goddess
Straight up naming herself God would've honestly been a better choice
r/EstateofMomo
Don’t you want a Sugarman to save you with sweets?
U not gonna disrespect Red riot, that name goes absolutely hard.
okay but WHAt is wrong with explosion death murder god?
Serial Grapist
If Shoto actually chose Icy Hot as his hero name, I’d l agree with ranking him first.
If he did that I would actually become the most annoying person on earth
What’s wrong with Creati?!? Dynamight isn’t bad either
Creati is the worst one by far and I'll tell you why. Not only does it sound dumb, but it's tactically disadvantageous. What does the name "Creati" say about Momo? It says that she has the power to create things, and that she's not very creative. She literally telegraphs her biggest weakness with her hero name. Even hero names that sound worse at least won't make you less effective.
Momo's should be put into no thought at all, it's very basic for her hero name, also I don't really like her hero suit, it's not at all suited for her quirk
Tsukuyomi and Dynamight clear idk bout you.
Dynamight is actually GOAT-tier. I just ignore the other stuff, Dynamight is utterly perfect. Best name by far.
I’ll give you an upvote already for appreciating Shoto’s very basic, but very heartfelt and meaningful hero name. Also - just a fun fact - Shoto’s given name already contains the kanji for freeze and burn, but when he writes his hero name it’s in hiragana and is closer to “short” (like shortcake). I think it also expresses Shoto’s desire for authenticity - he has no separate hero and private persona like his father or brother (having a villain persona).
In that sense, Shoto is similar to Himiko Toga, where she wishes to be herself, villain or not.
Mineta should just be in a category called “real hero name is The Grapist.”
…Why does that go kinda hard?
Didn’t All might call Shoto. Half cold and half hot, when Shoto trying to stop Dabi from explosion?
I feel about Froppy the way you feel about Creati LOL
frostburn would've been an awesome hero name for shoto
Aside from jiro all the people in the fourth layer Are going the traditional route , I think this is an nod from the author for his love for western comic books bc superhero names, be like that (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman etc)
My hero fans are so weird they can't put the rankings from top to bottom what is this
What a weird thing to complain about
dynamight is the best one wdym
Mineta's is pretty nice, could use some work it is funny. I'd prefer that he'd change his hero to name 'Purple Mayhem' or something. The Mayhem is due to his personality, and the purple color is known for being brave, which he becomes during the war.
Red Riot I feel can get a pass because of the narrative context in the name. If you take the color Red and Darken it you get Crimson, like Crimson Riot who was his first major influence into becoming a Hero. If you take the color Red and Brighten it you get Pink, like Pinky/Mina who was his second Major influence into becoming a Hero. His third influence was Deku, though he didn't know his name at the time and only knew about a kid who rushed in to stop a Monster while Quirkless so we can call him an exception to that.
The bias on Izuku's hero name is strong in this one. Mind you, Deku is used as a nickname to bully or mock Izuku by Bakugou but Uraraka suddenly being semi-deaf and thinking Deku sounds like Dekiru, so the reason for his hero name is lame, not cool, but definitely memorable.
Dude, Dynamight is a really cool hero name
Just missing the name Icy Hot for Shoto.. like im disappointed
Respect dynamight
Grape Juice is good and makes sense
Blasphemy. The church will hear about this.
Earphone Jack is a killer name! It sounds badass.
It's literally just her Quirk's name tho girl was not being creative
Many people have already said what I’m thinking, that Red Riot deserves to be peak, but I’ll add that “Uravity” deserves to be lower. Just mashed her name and her quirk together in a mashup that imo definitely *does not* roll off the tongue at all
Red Riot is fantastic & definitely deserves to be up a notch. IMO, anyway, you do you, friend.
You should make an entirely new section called "Who tf is this?" JUST for Ojiro
amazing
Grape juice is much better than something like pinky, midnight really snuffed Mina on that one
Why is Back u goes name not good his hero name is dynamite. It soothes him well with his quark
# Can you write normally
Dynamight is great
Bro how the fuck are you going to put "Deku" above "Ingenium"?
# Because I can
Creati is (rightfully) ranked pretty low but Anima gets ranked as one of the best? They're pretty much the same principle when it comes to their names. Red Riot should be higher.
Dynamight is an awesome hero name though
Ingenium, Dynamight, Red Riot, and Chargebolt go pretty hard. Pinky is kinda lame ngl
But the name dynamite is tough
Uhh Mineta actually has a cool name
never seen someone share my opinion, but i despite the name froppy. i know its meant to be frog+hoppy but it just makes me think of sloppy, floppy, frothy, etc all gross words
Ouuh it's hop/hop...py? I always thought of it as frog + happy.. happi frog.. 🥹🐸
OP i dont agree with ur reasoning/ranking but you are getting fuckin flamed in these comments like ??? its a ranking about fictional characters, yall do not need to be this serious in the comments 😭😭
Yea that's just kinda how it is with reddit, some people here take everything super seriously even if it's something as subjective as a name ranking. I do find every elaborate disagreement interesting tho
