Alert: The following contains spoilers for My Hero Academia Affiliate 337, "A Dispensable Life" by Horikoshi Kohei, Caleb Melt and John Chase, available now in English from Viz Media.

Subconscious faces are widely underappreciated mysteries in Horikoshi Kohei's My Hero Academia. Even Horikoshi himself will reveal faces of people similar the previous 1 For All users or Best Jeanist rather unceremoniously every bit if they were never mysteries at all. Finding out what characters like Overhaul and Shigaraki are actually supposed to look like is not e'er consequential to the story, but the apparent secrecy certainly leaves fans wondering. In this regard, readers accept been chomping at the chip to know the true appearance of Class ane-A's resident Invisible Girl, Hagakure Toru.

Since Hagakure is in Class one-A and therefore an important cast member, ane would expect her face to be revealed sooner rather than later. However, over 330 capacity passed since her debut without the reveal. Similarly, Class 1-A's Shoji Mezo'due south real confront is also hidden, but he can at least replicate those features with his Dupli-Arms Quirk. It's much harder to tell what Hagakure might look like because her body has always been completely see-through. This all changes in Chapter 337, "A Dispensable Life." Later over seven years in publication, My Hero Academia has finally granted its fans a glimpse at the real Hagakure.

Naturally, Hagakure can't be seen because of her Invisibility Quirk. This Quirk causes lite to completely pass through her body, thus rendering it transparent. She tin also use her body to refract light, but this doesn't make her physical characteristics whatever clearer.

Prior to Affiliate 337, Hagakure'due south looks have been largely left upwardly to the interpretation of the fans. Some take theorized that she's surprisingly beautiful. Others have joked about how she might be comedically unsightly. At that place are all sorts of fanart and fanfiction giving her different kinds of facial features and hairstyles. However, in that location's little consensus nigh what the Class i-A pupil should actually look like.

For a while there was a rumor floating around that Horikoshi had already revealed Hagakure'south real face. In the image, drawn past Horikoshi, Todoroki Shoto and an unknown girl posed. Many fans assumed this mysterious daughter was actually Hagakure's visible form. The image is existent, but the girl is non Hagakure. She'south really Suzune Kozaki from Saguri-chan Tankentai, a manga created by 1 of Horikoshi'south sometime assistants, Akiyama Yoko. Hagakure has nix to do with this drawing.

In Chapter 337, the reveal comes every bit a result of the ongoing drama surrounding the UA traitor, Aoyama Yuga. When he's discovered by Midoriya "Deku" Izuku and Hagakure, he panics and fires his Omphalos Laser. Deku prepares for the Laser, but Hagakure intercepts it. She is able to refract information technology into a nearby tree, though her gloves practise get singed. As the fume clears, her body shimmers and her features can briefly be made out.

Hagakure is shown to exist a natural beauty, even past MHA standards. She has an boilerplate build and a short chin, though this much is revealed by Chapter 335, "Zygotes." She also has big eyes, long eyelashes and thin eyebrows. Her hair is unkempt and shoulder-length; she likely doesn't worry about brushing or styling information technology since it normally can't be seen anyway.

Unfortunately, Hagakure's face reveal is not the pleasant surprise fans might take hoped for. Due to the context of the situation, her expression is ane of ache. She is heartbroken and confused past Aoyama'south cant and tears are pouring out of her eyes. Hagakure is a more often than not cheerful girl, so seeing her expression for the starting time time as this contortion of injure and suffering is unbearably heart-wrenching.

It tin exist easy to forget nearly this face reveal with everything else that happens in Chapter 337. The focus of this affiliate is on Aoyama where it rightfully belongs; it'southward about his classmates' reactions to his treachery, Hagakure'south included. Nevertheless, every bit important every bit the UA traitor subplot will be to the overarching story, this glimpse at Hagakure'due south confront should not exist overlooked.

The question of Hagakure's truthful appearance is even older than that of the traitor'southward identity. The conditions for the face reveal are less than optimal, but this doesn't have to exist the only time information technology's shown. This whole offhanded reveal could just exist the precursor to a ameliorate, more proper exploration of Hagakure in a subsequently function of My Hero Academia.
