My Hero Academia: 10 Things That Make No Sense About Momo

The students of U.A.'s Class 1-A have stolen the fans' hearts and are the core of My Hero Academia. Powerful main characters like Todoroki, Bakugou, and Iida fuel the tension and suspense of the series, whereas endearing personalities like Tsuyu or Toru have given the academic life some heart.

There really are plenty of great female characters in this class but one to stand above the rest as a hero would have to be one of the recommended students, Momo Yaoyorozu. Momo is an intelligent and hard-working girl whose power and elite family helped fuel her recommended status. Despite how great she may be, she has a few quirks outside of her Creation ability. Even though she's a sensible girl, this list is going to break down a few things about her that just don't make any sense.

10 Knowing The Molecular Makeup Of Things

Yaoyorozu's Quirk requires her knowing the molecular makeup of things in order to actually craft them. While Momo is clearly a highly intelligent girl, it's a little baffling to think that she could possibly know the molecular makeup of everything that she needs.

That would not only require knowing the chemical makeup of the various items that can comprise one tool but also the engineering needs of more complex items. Knowing all of these things and being able to imagine them during a high stakes situation would require its own superpower; and yet she still gives the time to give matryoshka dolls their painted design.

9 Needing To Eat To Fuel Her Power

While Momo's exact brilliance is complicated in its own right, it's far from being the most nonsensical thing about her Quirk. While other craft-based anime powers like alchemy and conjuring have had anime characters mold things from their surroundings, Momo needs to have actually ingested her crafting materials.

With what's she's regularly eaten as a person, Momo has been able to make mannequins, flash bangs, and even infrared goggles. What does a person need to eat to be able to make infrared goggles?

8 Needing To Create Things With Her Bare Skin

This is the last of this list's breakdown of Momo's Quirk, but it's still a pretty baffling one. In addition to knowing the molecular makeup of things and having to ingest said items, Momo must also be able to generate those things from her bare skin.

This means that Momo must, at all times, have plenty of free surface area on her body to be able to craft items at a moments notice. Bigger items require more bare skin. One has to wonder if there are ulterior motives to bringing this unnecessary detail to her Quirk.

7 Not Helping The Support Department

While Momo's intelligence, leadership, and power could do a lot of good in U.A.'s Hero Department, one has to wonder if that's really where her abilities are best suited. In addition to teaching kids how to fight things, market things, or just be regular students, U.A. also has a Support Department dedicated to students who want to make and invent things.

Such a department would mesh well with Yaoyorozu's Creation Quirk as well as her vast intelligence, yet she's never seen in workshop. While she may have hero ambitions, she could at least train or provide her abilities with the support students.

6 Carrying Mineta During The Joint Training

The Joing Training Arc was one of the best arcs in the entire series, but it's far from being the perfect story. In addition to having plenty of epic fights and emotional breakthroughs, there are a few plot holes out there bigger than the actual pitfalls. One such scene was when Yaoyorozu revealed that she was carrying Mineta the entire time during the early sprint.

While this was obviously a trick on Mineta's part, one has to wonder why she didn't drop the guy in the first place or how she could even carry him. Mineta's a small person, but he's not exactly a pocket-sized. He should've either jeopardized Momo's chances of escaping the beasts or forced her into removing her jacket. Not only was her shirt already open, but she could've also just made a new one if she was uncomfortable.

5 Not Being Able To See Through The Cheerleading Ruse

In another edition of Mineta dragging Yaoyorozu Momo down, he was also one of the main conspirators behind convincing the Class 1-A girls that there was a cheerleading portion of the Sports Festival.

While this was seen as good, campy fun by some of the other girls, Momo seemed a little uncomfortable and even baffled that she was tricked again. At this point, one has to wonder how smart she really is if she couldn't see through this trick.

4 Not Creating Disguises For Bakugou's Rescue

During the Hideout Raid Arc, Momo was part of the unofficial U.A. team that wanted to rescue Bakugou themselves. She tagged along to give a helpful eye to her fellow classmates but was a little unnecessarily hesitant throughout the arc. One such moment that seemed a little strange was her refusal to create disguises for her group.

While the scene dressed it up as a rich girl wanting to go into Don Quijote for the first time, it seemed a little impractical given the serious situation. Making the costumes would've at least justified her being there given that she had the least substantial role during the actual rescue.

3 Not Being Recognized As A Top Hero

While Momo has had plenty of shortcomings in the series, she still has plenty of qualities for a top hero. She's a tactical and intelligent girl whose resourcefulness and leadership can breakthrough in any situation. Her Quirk has to be one of the most flexible abilities in the entire series, and she supplements it with high level academic and combat training.

Despite this, she hasn't been positioned in the series as a main character level person or even a top hero. Though she had a resounding character arc early in the series, she has yet to capitalize on the change in a way that bolsters her credibility.

2 Her Internship With Uwabami

While Momo's hero status may seem unimpressive, that may be due to a lack of effort on the hero system's part. Even though U.A. has been described as a top-level hero school, it doesn't really seem like all of its students are getting an equally valuable education. Momo, in particular, seemed to be cheated during her internship course.

While students like Ochaco or Deku were learning new combat abilities and getting some disaster relief training, Momo was simply used as a model by Uwabami. Why was this even an internship option and what wisdom did Momo hope to receive?

1 The Yaoyorictionary

Last but not least, this list reaches one of the most impractical items in Momo's arsenal. While Momo has had to learn how to make various things, she still requires some reference material to help jog her memory. In comes the Yaoyorictionary. This handy book keeps track of everything that Momo has trained to make.

It's a practical and clever gesture to have as a hero, but one has to wonder why she chose a book of all things. And it's not just a pocket-sized dictionary either. It's a full-sized encyclopedia of Momo's knowledge. This thing has got to be heavy to carry during battle and requires a lot of cumbersome motion just to pull out and read. Considering that the movie posited that she could create batteries, she could reliably bring a smartphone or laptop as a hero, two devices that are infinitely more portable and have more data than a book.
