Izuku Midoriya (Shoot Style)
Izuku Midoriya will join My Hero One’s Justice again as a free downloadable content character with style, revealed in the latest issue of Weekly Jump.

My Hero One’s Justice Story Mode, Mission Mode, Character Customization, and Free Battle gameplay
Hero Combo – Easily connect combos with the press of a button. The number of hits varies depending on the character.
Guard Weak Point Attack – An attack that breaks through the opponent’s guard. Although it cannot lose against a counterattack from the opponent, you should be cautious as it is slow to unleash.
Counter Attack – Negates the opponent’s attack while unleashing your own attack. However, it is unable to negate Guard Weak Point Attacks and attacks with a large number of hits.
Quirk Techniques – You can use three types of “Quirk” techniques by using pressing buttons in combination with movements of the joystick. There are some techniques that cannot be used or have different effects when used in the air.
Plus Ultra Technique – You can trigger your strongest special move by consuming the Plus Ultra Gauge. There are two types of Plus Ultra Techniques, and the Plus Ultra 2 plays out an intense attack scene after it hits.
Special Actions
Just Guard – By guarding against an attack with the right timing, you can momentarily freeze your opponent in their tracks to create the opportunity for a counterattack. You normally cannot guard against an aerial attack, but this is possible with a Just Guard.
Guard Break – By continuously attacking and wearing down your opponent’s endurance to zero, you can perform a Guard Break. Cancel their guard to create the opportunity for an attack.
Stun – If you take a lot of damage in a short amount of time, you will fall into a stunned state. If you are stunned, you will be defenseless for a fixed amount of time.
Wall Rush Chance – If you attack your opponent after blowing them back into a wall, an on-the-wall battle will commence.
Izuku Midoriya (voiced by Daiki Yamashita) – A boy who dreams of becoming a hero. Although born “Quirkless,” the qualities of a hero were discovered to be hidden within him, and he inherited the “One For All” Quirk from the legendary hero All Might. His desire to save people is unusually strong.
Tomura Shigaraki (voiced by Kouki Uchiyama) – A villain shrouded in mystery, his background is completely unknown. While his reasons are uncertain, he is planning to kill All Might. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the League of Villains. He seems to have a Quirk that can decay anything he touches with his hands.
Katsuki Bakugo (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto)- Deku’s childhood friend. He has strong ambitions, and with his wisdom, strength, sense for battle, and outstanding confidence, he holds the firm belief that he will become the number-one hero. His “Explosion” Quirk enables him to create and explode nitroglycerine-esque sweat from the sweat glands on his palms.
All Might (voiced by Kenta Miyake) – Is the Earth’s mightiest Hero symbolizing peace and justice which inspired Izuku and Katuski to become Heroes. With his “One For All” Quirk, All Might can use powerful standard attacks that knock back all of the opponents that stand in his way. All of his moves are ultimate-class.
Shoto Todoroki (voiced by Yuuki Kaji) – Is the son of the Earth’s second strongest hero Endeavor. As a genius student, he can master two quirks, the ice from his mother and the fire of his father. He has always suffered the pressure of his upbringing and is now determined to forge his own path to become a Hero.
Ochako Uraraka (voiced by Ayane Sakura) – Is one of Deku’s closest friend. She is lively, positive and always finding a way to inspire people. Her quirk gives her the power to manipulate gravity. She wants to become a hero to offer a comfortable life to her parents.

She can also stick to walls and use a Camouflage ability. Tsuyu’s hero costume changes colors along with her, in order to blend in with her surroundings.
Denki Kaminari (voiced by Tasuku Hatanaka) – His quirk allows him to channel electricity from his body and shoot it. He cares for his allies deeply and is often afraid of hurting them with his electrical powers. Once he knows they are safe, he can unleash his true powers using his special move “Indiscriminate Discharge 1,300,000 volts”.
Momo Yaoyorozu (voiced by Marina Inoue) – Is the Vice President of Class 1-A. She is an extremely smart student who acts as a natural leader to her classmates, she was born in a famous Hero family and dreams of becoming a pro-hero. Her Quirk is extremely powerful as it gives the ability to create any non-living materials via molecular manipulation. If she understands how something is made, she will be able to create it herself using her fat cells as material.
Stain (voiced by Gou Inoue) – Trifles with opponents through quick movement, and specializes in long-distance knife-throwing attacks. His quirk, “Bloodcurdle” stops his opponents from moving. The more he cuts the enemy, the greater Bloodcurdle’s effect becomes.

Her Quirk, “Earphone Jack” allows her to plug the earphone jacks that hang from her ears into an object to channel the sound of her heartbeat into it and attack with sound waves.

Since heartbeat sound attacks can be used as traps, you can gradually set up traps from a distance to fight in a way that drives your opponent into a corner.
Fumikage Tokoyami (voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya) – A character with a cool personality and a bird-like appearance. His Quirk, “Dark Shadow” allows him to materialize a retractable shadow-like monster. In battle, he is a technique type that utilizes offensive and defensive modes depending on the situation.

And in “Team Up Mode” you can keep Dark Shadow out the whole time to increase your guard capabilities.
Eijiro Kirishima (voiced by Toshiki Masuda) – A passionate hero prospect whose motto is to be “manly.” His Quirk, “Hardening” allows him to harden his whole body, which greatly enhances his attack and defense. In battle, he is a power type who does not falter from enemy attacks. His “Hardened State” is a super armor mode which is able to last for a fixed period of time, and he is a power fighter who can attack while not flinching from enemy attacks. But since that does not make him invincible, be sure to properly manage his health.?
Himiko Toga (voiced by Misato Fukuen) – Female high school student who was invited from the dark broker to the enemy coalition. Being chased as suspects of continuous blood loss death cases by the Police. She is great at quick attack with her knife. In addition, it is possible to turn into anyone with a specific technique.

He’s a character that can make a tricky fighting way harder by restricting the opponent’s action with his blue flame from a distance or arranging it on the stage like a trap.
