♥︎ | Juzo Honenuki ¹

Appearance

Juzo is a pale-skinned young man with angular eyes, mid-length spiked hair of a beige color, a flat nose, and small eyebrows. His most unusual feature is his teeth, which sit outside his skin. He has no discernible lips, giving him a skull-like appearance, though this is not related to his Quirk in any readily apparent way. According to Kohei Horikoshi, he has the appearance of a good-looking guy.

Personality

Juzo hates losing; however, like the rest of his class, he does not feel bad about letting others receive what they deserve, as shown when he lets his classmates continue at the Sports Festival. Juzo is also shown to have a calm, understanding demeanor when dealing with his classmates' antics, notably during the Joint Training Battle. Juzo notably cares about his friends' well-being, mentioning that he would satisfy them due to his mistake during Round 3 of his battle against Team 3-A. He is constantly being praised for his "soft and flexible thinking" by Sen Kaibara. Juzo has admitted he must be more stubborn to win battle in unfavorable conditions. When Tenya unveiled "Recipro Turbo", Juzo realized he was at a grave disadvantage and decided to retreat, showing his excellent judgment towards fight or flight. Juzo does not put up with Neito Monoma's complaining about Class A and implores his classmates to tell them directly, which he does.

Quirk

Softening (柔じゅう化か, Jūka?): Juzo's Quirk allows him to soften any non-living thing he touches. For example, he can soften the ground to make it similar to quicksand, hindering movements and mobility. If Juzo makes contact again, he can undo the effect. He is also capable of swimming through softened material.
