Recent MHA chapters are filled with major events, with the UA traitor being revealed and more. In Chapter 337, another important mystery is finally revealed.
Kodoani.com – WARNING: The following content My Hero Academia Chapter 337.
Hidden faces are underappreciated mysteries in Horikoshi Kohei’s My Hero Academia. Even Horikoshi herself would reveal the faces of people like One For All as if they had never been a mystery. Finding out what characters like Overhaul and Shigaraki are really supposed to look like isn’t always a result of the story, but the obvious secrecy has always kept fans curious. In this regard, readers were surprised to learn the true appearance of the Invisible Girl, 1-A student, Hagakure Toru.
Since Hagakure is in class 1-A and is therefore an important member of the main cast, one should expect her face to be revealed soon. However, more than 330 chapters have passed since her debut without being revealed. Likewise, Class 1-A’s Shoji Mezo’s true face is hidden as well, but he can at least recreate those features with his Double Weapon. It’s much harder to tell what Hagakure looks like since her body is always see-through. All of this will change in Chapter 337, After more than seven years of publication, My Hero Academia has finally given fans a glimpse of the real Hagakure.
Naturally, Hagakure cannot be seen because of her Invisibility ability. This quirk makes light completely pass through her body, thus making it transparent. She can also use her body to refract light, but this does not make her physical features any more obvious.
Prior to Chapter 337, Hagakure’s appearance largely depends on fan interpretation. Some have theorized that she is surprisingly beautiful. Others have joked about how she can be humorously unsightly. There are all kinds of fanart and fanfiction that leave her with different facial features and hairstyles. However, there is little consensus on what she really looks like.
For a while, a rumor surfaced that Horikoshi had revealed Hagakure’s true face. In the image, drawn by Horikoshi, Todoroki Shoto and an unknown girl pose. Many fans assume that this mysterious girl is actually Hagakure’s tangible form. The picture is real, but the girl is not Hagakure. She is actually Suzune Kozaki from Saguri-chan Tankentai, a manga created by one of Horikoshi’s former assistants, Akiyama Yoko. Hagakure has nothing to do with this drawing.
In Chapter 337, revealed to be the result of the ongoing drama surrounding the UA traitor, Aoyama Yuga. When spotted by Midoriya “Deku” Izuku and Hagakure, he panicked and fired his Navel Laser. Deku prepares for Laser, but Hagakure blocks it. She can refract it into a nearby tree, even though her gauntlet is faulty. When the smoke clears, it rolls over the body of the training hero and her features can be revealed for a short time.
Hagakure is shown to be a natural beauty, even by MHA standards. She has a medium build and a short chin, although this is revealed in Chapter 335, “Zombie”. She also has large eyes, long eyelashes, and thin eyebrows. Her hair is messy and shoulder length; She may not worry about combing or styling her hair because normally she can’t see it.
Unfortunately, Hagakure’s face reveal isn’t the pleasant surprise fans might expect. Due to the context of the situation, her expression was one of suffering. She was heartbroken and confused by Aoyama’s deception and tears welled up in her eyes. Hagakure is generally a cheerful girl, so seeing her expression as this intertwining of hurt and suffering was heartbreaking for the first time.
This face reveal can be easily forgotten with everything else that happens in Chapter 337. The focus of this chapter is on Aoyama; it’s about the reactions of his classmates to his betrayal, including Hagakure. However, as important as the UA traitor’s side story will be to the overarching story, a glimpse of Hagakure’s face should not be overlooked.
The question of Hagakure’s true appearance was even greater than that of the traitor’s identity. The face exposure conditions are less than optimal, but this is not the only time it has been shown. This whole introductory revelation can only be the premise for a better, more proper exploration of Hagakure in the later part of this series. My Hero Academia.
