Bowaza Aoann/Synopsis

## History

### Childhood:

As a child, Bowaza was kidnapped by a villain, thankfully he was saved by the hero “Cosmostellar” after only 1 hour in captivity. This caused him to greatly admire heroes and dream of being a hero. When he was ten, Bowaza practiced all the time to improve his quirk so he could become a hero. 4 years later Bowaza still kept aiming to be a hero and got into U.A. High School.

## Sypnosis

### Quirk Apprehension Test Arc:

On the first day at U.A. High School in Class 1-A, Bowaza managed to score fourth on the Quirk Apprehension Test given to the class by their teacher, Shota Aizawa.

### USJ Arc:

During their next homeroom class, Class 1-A is instructed to choose a Class President, and Tenya Iida suggests they take it to a vote. Unlike the majority of the class, Bowaza does not vote for himself and instead votes for Tenya Iida. In Hero Basic Training class, Class 1-A is assigned to Rescue Training in an off-campus facility. During the bus ride there, many of his classmates discuss their Quirks and Bowaza (Still in his early phase in which he kept to himself), sat by himself.

The class reaches the training facility, Unforeseen Simulation Joint, and are greeted by Space Hero "Thirteen", who built the facility. It was built as a training area for aspiring heroes to practice using their Quirks to save people. However, rescue training is interrupted by the arrival of several villains. While many of his classmates are paralyzed with fear, Bowaza surmises that the villains aren’t very strong. He figures that the villains have a concrete objective in mind, understanding that no low level villains would plan this ambush without a scheme in mind.

Bowaza tries to evacuate with his class, but they are separated and warped into different simulation zones of the U.S.J. Bowaza ends up in the Radioactive Zone and immediately shocks the villains waiting for him there.

One of the fearful thugs tells Bowaza they came to the U.S.J. to kill All Might. Bowaza makes his way to the central plaza to find All Might trapped by Kurogiri and Nomu. Shoto Todoroki freezes half of Nomu's body to help All Might get free, and boasts that the Symbol of Peace will not die on this day. After getting up, All Might refuses any help from the students, so Bowaza stays back and watches in awe of All Might's incredible power as he defeats Nomu.

Bowaza believes All Might will handle the rest of the villains as well and decides to stay back, but Izuku Midoriya rushes to help All Might. Just as Kurogiri and Tomura Shigaraki attack, Tenya returns to the U.S.J. with Pro-Heroes as reinforcements.

The villains are forced to retreat, and Bowaza gathers outside the facility with his classmates. Afterward, Bowaza and the others return to school. These events at the USJ caused Bowaza to become less shy and more open and talkative with his classmates.

### Sports Festival Arc:

Two days after the attack on the U.S.J., Bowaza and his classmates return to school and are lectured about the importance of the upcoming U.A. Sports Festival during their homeroom class.

As the school day ends, Class 1-A is unable to leave their class thanks to the mob of students blocking the exit. The students are from other classes and are there to scope out their competition for the festival. Katsuki Bakugo makes them all angry with his arrogant comments, putting a target on the backs of the students in Class 1-A.

For the next two weeks, Bowaza and his classmates train in order to prepare for the Sports Festival. When the day comes, Bowaza and his classmates prepare in their designated waiting area by changing into their P.E. clothes.

Once Midnight explains the rules and directs the pledge, the preliminary games begin. The first round is an obstacle race four kilometers around the area. Bowaza is left behind in the start when he is frozen by Shoto the cluttered corridor but is able to break free using his super move he developed during the USJ attack: **Plasma Fists**.

Bowaza then sees giant bots that Izuku faced during the Entrance Exam. One of the robots take notice of Bowaza and begin to attacks him but Bowaza proceeds to power off the robot using by his Quirk to stop the electrical flow in the robot.

Bowaza easily clears the next obstacle: The Fall. It is a large canyon that must be trekked by crossing tightropes. Bowaza runs along the rope through the fall and Katsuki notices him gaining on him. Bowaza reaches the final leg of the race: a Mine Field meant to burden those in the lead. While Katsuki and Shoto have to walk through the area carefully, Bowaza can temporarily power down the mines and walk over them, this allows him to catch up to them. Angered, Katsuki states that Shoto and Bowaza issued their declaration of war to the wrong rival and the three start to fight for first place as they run.

Moments later, Bowaza watches in bewilderment as Izuku flies towards him, Shoto, and Katsuki after riding the momentum from an explosion he created. Izuku manages to pass them, but Bowaza catches up to him quickly by creating a path of powered-down mines. Bowaza realizes this will help others cross the Mine Field, but he has no choice if he wants to win the race. Before he, Shoto, or Katsuki are able to reclaim the lead, Izuku triggers another explosion that momentarily stops them all. Although close behind, Bowaza crosses the finish line fourth after Katsuki. Even though he is unhappy about not taking first place, Bowaza qualifies for the second event: The Cavalry Battle.

After Midnight explains the rules of the Cavalry Battle, Bowaza forms his team with Tenya, Momo and Shoto Todoroki. Shoto explains that this is the strongest formation he could think of. Shortly after the Cavalry Battle begins, Team Todoroki confronts Team Midoriya.

Rival teams rush to the scene as well, forcing Shoto to make a move. He orders Bowaza to electrocute the other teams while using an insulation sheet created by Momo to protect himself. At the end Team Todoroki wins the Cavalry Battle.

Later on, Midnight announces the Sports Festival finals will be a one-on-one fighting tournament. Bowaza notices that he could face Katsuki in the second bracket, and hopes that he wins. During the recreational games, Bowaza uses the opportunity to mentally prepare himself.

Following Izuku's match with Hitoshi Shinso, Bowaza comments that he figured Izuku would win. On his way to the ring for his match against Fukimage Tokoyami, Bowaza thinks of his drive to become a hero.

As the match begins, Fukimage nearly pushed Bowaza out of bounds by slamming him with Dark Shadow. Bowaza retaliates by discharging at Dark Shadow. Bowaza realizes that when he discharged, Dark Shadow gets weaker and thinks that it may have to do with light. Bowaza then begins to use his Super Move: **Plasma Fists**, which defeats Dark Shadow and paralyzes Fukimage.

Six matches later, Bowaza watches Katsuki's battle with Ochaco closely. Once the first round of matches ends, Bowaza takes to the ring and meets his second round opponent: Momo Yaoyorozu. As soon as their fight begins, Bowaza leads with an discharge, but Momo counters by creating and insulation sheet. Bowaza runs around to the other side and discharges at Momo, but she defends by creating a shield

Bowaza persistently attacks until Momo runs out of the energy to create things. Bowaza runs towards Momo and uses his Plasma Whips to throw Momo out of bounds, winning him the match.

Once the second round finishes, Bowaza returns to the arena to face off against Katsuki. He starts the match by dodging an explosion. He goes in for a discharge but Katsuki defends by launching and explosion at Bowaza and throwing him far. Before the smoke clears, Bowaza absorbs electricity from the stadium, and uses the energy to blast himself towards Kastuki. As Katsuki prepares to attack, Bowaza unveils a new super move variation attack, **Plasma Fists: Thunderous Kick**, which ends up destroying Katsuki’s gauntlets. Katsuki responds in anger and uses his Howitzer Impact to blast Bowaza to the other side of the arena. Bowaza then uses another new super move called **Plasma Havoc: Lightspeed**, which propels himself forward as Katsuki blasts himself forwards using his Quirk. As they approach each other the stadium lights up in colors of Orange and Blue. When they meet up, Bowaza uses a **Plasma Fists: Havoc Mode** attack, which Katsuki dodges. Katsuki then pummels Bowaza into the ground, knocking him out. As Bowaza is falling he thinks of his past, and feels as though he had failed.

When Bowaza is healed, he solemnly sits in his arena seat, where he is surprised to see his classmates congratulating him. Eijiro Kirishima and Izuku asks him how he already has 3 Super Moves, and he replies that he has always wanted to be a hero. As he watches Shoto and Kastuki fight, he doesn’t feel disappointment anymore.

At the Sports Festival's award ceremony, Bowaza is presented with the bronze medal by All Might and he states that Bowaza’s Training has paid off, and that Bowaza will keep improving. After returning to class, Bowaza and the rest of Class 1-A are excused from the next two days of class.

### Hero Killer Arc:

Once class resumes at U.A., Bowaza joins his class in learning about Hero Informatics. Shota reveals the Pro-Hero draft results, with Bowaza having

4 offers from pros. Midnight joins the class to help the students choose their hero names. Bowaza chooses “**Voltage**” for his code name.

After choosing code names concludes, Shota informs his students that they will choose a hero agency to intern at for a week from a list of their nominations. Bowaza notices that the Cosmostellar workplace is among his choices, but he feels too intimidated to choose his agency, so he chooses a different hero instead. When the first day of the internships arrive, Bowaza meets with his class at the train station to get his new costume and travel to the office of his choice. Before he departs, Bowaza notices that Tenya appears to be unsettled by news of his brother's assault at the hands of Hero Killer: Stain

Bowaza reaches his agency and gets greeted by the pro hero Electro. Electro immediately decides to take Shoto out into the field, and they go into Hosu City.

While in Hosu, Bowaza and Electro notice an explosion in the distance. Electro rushes towards the event, but is attacked by a Nomu, and tells Bowaza to run to the agency. Just then Bowaza receives a message on his cellphone from Izuku with a location on it. He tells Electro that he thinks his friend is in trouble, and requests for Electro to come to the location after dealing with the Nomu.

Bowaza arrives at a location just in time to and uses his super move, **Plasma Havoc: Lightspeed**, to save Shoto from Stain’s knives by being stabbed by them and forces the villain back using a discharge. He then stumbles in pain while asking if that is the Hero Killer. Shoto asks Bowaza he is fine, and Bowaza responds that he is more than fine. Stain evades another discharge and Bowaza declares he will not allow the hero killer to take any more lives.

Izuku warns Shoto and Bowaza that Stain's Quirk can paralyze the if he gets some of his blood. Bowaza says that he plans to fight at a distance, but Stain catches him and Shoto off guard and nearly kill them with a throwing knives. Stain attacks Shoto from above, but he blocks it using a block of ice, while Bowaza’s discharge finally hits Stain. Bowaza then get hit by a throwing knife, and Stain is able to paralyze him.

Just as he is about to stab Shoto from above, Izuku unexpectedly grabs him and tackles him away. Shoto guesses that Stain's Quirk may have a time limit, but Native explains that Izuku was the last to suffer from it, so that cannot be the case. Izuku comes to the conclusion that Stain's Quirk's effectiveness varies depending on blood type, which the hero killer confirms. As Stain is about to decapitate Izuku, Bowaza uses a new super move, **Plasma Havoc: Punting Strike**, which shatters Stain’s sword and protects Izuku.

Shoto states that he would have liked to carry the injured away but Stain will not give him the opening to do so. Bowaza, Izuku, and Shoto decide to hold the villain off until reinforcements arrive. With Shoto and Bowaza already bleeding, Izuku volunteers himself to fight in close quarters while Shoto and Bowaza support him from a distance. Although reluctant to take the risk, Bowaza agrees to protect Tenya and Native together with the others.

With the battle's intensity increasing, Stain heightens his strength and overpowers Izuku. He cuts open his leg and licks the blood to paralyze him. Bowaza tries to support him, but Tenya again pleads for them to stop. Stain dashes towards Shoto, evading the ice the latter sends at him. Stain slashes through a wall of ice and goes to attack Shoto, Bowaza then jumps in front of Shoto to discharge at stain, and responds to Iida by encouraging Tenya to never forget who he wants to become.

As Bowaza tries to force Stain back, the villain inches closer to him every time he evades a Discharge. Shoto uses his ice as well, but Stain is too fast and closes the distance between them. The Hero Killer comments that Shoto is careless because he is too focused on his Quirk and nearly takes him out using the katana. Tenya breaks free from the paralysis in time to save Shoto using his Recipro Burst to break the katana and kick Stain flying back.

Tenya apologizes for getting his friends involved as he states his eyes have been opened, but Stain refutes this and states that Tenya will never reform into a true hero. Bowaza tells Tenya not to listen to the villain's words, but Tenya agrees that he is not a true hero. Nevertheless, Tenya believes he cannot give up or else the name of Ingenium will die. Stain attacks again, but Bowaza forces him back using his Quirk. Native urges them to flee, but he refuses and says that Stain will not give him an opening. Although Shoto realizes that Stain's Quirk is not especially effective in a battle against multiple opponents, he notes that Stain has only gotten more tenacious in his attempts to kill his targets.

While Bowaza and Shoto both keep Stain at bay using ranged attacks, Tenya asks Shoto if he can regulate temperature. Shoto responds by admitting he is not used to doing so with his left side yet, but Tenya asks him to freeze his legs without blocking the exhausts. Annoyed with the battle, Stain maneuvers behind Bowaza and throws a knife at his head. Tenya moves in front of the blade and it stabs him in the arm and gets pinned down by a second knife. This gives Shoto enough time to do as Tenya asks and cools down the radiators on his leg. This allows Tenya to unveil his new special move: Recipro Extend. Then Tenya and Izuku rush Stain by using their Quirk's to scale the alleyway and strike the Hero Killer simultaneously.

Stain reels back from the students' teamwork and tries to slash Tenya, but he evades and kicks the villain higher into the air. Realizing that this is their chance, Shoto blasts Stain while Bowaza uses his super move, Plasma Fists, and they finally take out the Hero Killer. Shoto secures his allies by using ice to lighten their falls and tells them to get ready to continue fighting. However, Bowaza looks up and sees they have actually defeated their opponent.

Shoto restrains the defeated Hero Killer using rope and follows Bowaza supporting Tenya, and Native carrying Izuku out to the street. Bowaza comments that they barely won four on one with Stain making several mistakes and that it is likely Stain became flustered and forgot Izuku's recovery time, making him unable to compensate for their last joint assault. They are met by several Pro-Heroes who offer to call an ambulance and the police. Tenya cries and takes a moment to ask for his friends forgiveness and Shoto says that Tenya is the class president and needs to pull himself together.

Then suddenly the last Nomu swoops down from the sky and snares Izuku. Before it gets too far away, Stain recovers and uses his Quirk to stop it. Then he saves Izuku by grabbing him and stabbing Nomu's brain. In spite of being heavily injured, Stain states that the "fake" pro heroes and the pathetic criminals in society must be purged to create a more just society. Bowaza and everyone are taken aback by his actions. Stain challenges all the heroes to try and stop him. The bandages over his face fall off and he releases a malicious aura that paralyzes everyone with fear, including Bowaza. The Hero Killer prepares to attack, but his perforated lungs cause him to lose consciousness.

Bowaza, Shoto, Izuku, and Tenya are taken to Hosu General Hospital and spend most of the night without sleep. The next morning, the trio discuss their encounter with the Hero Killer and Shoto claims that he likely spared their lives. Their conversation is interrupted when the Chief of Hosu City Police, Kenji Tsuragamae arrives. He informs them that Stain is undergoing treatment for his injuries and because they acted on their own without permission, they must be punished.

But since there were not enough witnesses to report the incident regarding Stain the incident will remain undisclosed. However, as a result, Izuku, Shoto, and Tenya will not get any recognition for their valiant efforts. After Kenji shows his gratitude the trio thank him for pardoning them.

The following day, when Izuku returns to their room, Shoto informs Izuku and Bowaza that Tenya got his medical results back. Tenya reveals that his hand was badly damaged in the battle and it will not heal so it serves as a reminder of his un-heroic deeds. Izuku promises to do the same and they make a pact to become stronger.

When the week concludes and the internships end, Bowaza returns to U.A. High. His peers question Shoto, Izuku, Tenya, and him about the incident in Hosu. Sworn to silence by the Police Chief, Shoto covers up the truth and says Endeavor saved them all from Stain. In their next Basic Hero Training class, the class participates in rescue races.

During the first race, Bowaza notices Izuku's new moves are very similar to the way Katsuki flies around using his explosions.

### Final Exams Arc:

One week before the final exams, Aizawa reminds Class 1-A to study for their written and practical components before ending class. Denki and Mina admit they haven't studied at all because of the events that have taken place throughout the term. Having placed second on the midterms, Bowaza encourages them to study harder, leaving Denki sad.

During lunch, Bowaza sits with Izuku, Tenya, Shoto, Ochaco, Tsuyu Asui, and Toru. He listens as they discuss what they believe the practical test will contain. They learn from Itsuka Kendo that the test may consist of fighting against robotic villains. Back in class, Denki and Mina are delighted by this, but Katsuki is annoyed by their behavior. He yells at them, and then openly claims he will receive a better grade than both Shoto and Izuku before storming out.

A week passes and Class 1-A finishes the written section of the finals. They change into their hero costumes and join their teaches at the practical exam area. There, Principal Nezu announces the practical portion will involve pairs of students facing off against one teacher. Bowaza is paired with Tenya Iida. Prior to that day, the teachers discussed the pairings.

When their test begins, Shoto and Momo meet in a replica city. He asks if Momo is nervous about facing their homeroom teacher and says he has a plan. The match begins and they run through the city. Shoto instructs Momo to keep making small objects so they will notice when Aizawa is nearby, and once he is, Shoto plans to distract him while Momo runs for the exit. He instructs Momo not to get separated from him until then. Momo reluctantly agrees and they continue on. She makes Russian matryoshka dolls, prompting Shoto to tell her if he notices anything strange. She commends Shoto for coming up with a quick plan, but he replies it is nothing special.

Because Power Loader is constantly digging through the ground, Tenya and Bowaza can barely move because the ground collapses in front of them. Tenya decides their best course of action would be to escape. Bowaza gets on Tenya's back. Tenya activates Recipro Burst and outruns the traps. When the ground in front of him collapses, Tenya leaps over it.

Bowaza wraps his tail around Tenya's leg and the latter uses Recipro Extend to rush towards the escape gate, while Bowaza uses a new move **Plasma Shield** to protect themselves from Power Loader's attempt to stop them. The team passes the practical test.

After all practical exams conclude, Class 1-A returns to class the next day. His classmates opt to go to the mall to prepare for Summer Training Camp, so Bowaza joins them.

### Forest Training Camp Arc:

A day prior to summer break, Izuku invites Bowaza and the other boys from Class 1-A to the pool for endurance training. They hold competitive swimming races and Bowaza wins his leg by jumping across the pool using **Plasma Havoc: Lightspeed**. Just before Bowaza, Shoto, Izuku, and Katsuki compete in the final race, Shota arrives and tells them they're out of time to use the pool and kicks them out. Afterward, Bowaza, Shoto, Tenya, and Izuku recall their battle with Stain and how far they've come as budding heroes in the making.

Summer break begins and Class 1-A rides a bus to a forest reserve belonging to the hero team: The Wild, Wild Pussycats. Pixie-Bob and Mandalay introduce themselves and challenge the students to reach base camp past the forest in three hours. When most of Bowaza’s peers refuse, he and his class are forcibly thrown into Beast's Forest by Pixie-Bob's quirk.

A monster created from dirt clods immediately attacks Minoru. Bowaza works together with Shoto, Izuku, Katsuki, and Tenya to defeat it. Class 1-A works together to fight their way through Beast's Forest. They encounter several different dirt monsters. Bowaza and Tenya take one out together. Class 1-A doesn't arrive at basecamp for several more hours. Well over their time limit, Class 1-A arrives at the base camp exhausted and battered. Mandalay reveals the time limit was the expectancy for actual heroes, not the students. The Pussycats serve the students dinner and the boys bathe in the hot springs afterward.

Training begins the next day. Bowaza trains by sitting in a pot of water and using his Quirk without electrocuting himself. He also works on his new his new super move, **Volt-Mode**. Later, Bowaza uses his electricity to light his stove. After another day of training, Bowsza aks Izuku why he asked Shota about All Might.

—-

That night, Shoto and Katsuki are paired together for the test of courage. Class 1-A students roam the forest while Class 1-B students try to scare them. The duo is slightly shaken by a Yui Kodai and Ragdoll.The League of Villain's Vanguard Action Squad attacks the camp. Shoto, carrying an injured Kosei Tsuburaba, runs through the forest with Katsuki. While going back to the facility, Shoto and Katsuki encounter Moonfish admiring a severed arm on the ground. The villain turns his attention to Katsuki and Shoto.

Katsuki rushes Moonfish, prompting the villain to attack with his Quirk. Shoto blocks the tooth blades with an ice wall and warns Katsuki not to rush into a fight. The blades pierce the ice and nearly hit Katsuki, only to be intercepted again by Shoto's ice. Moonfish evades the ice attack and moves fluidly through the treetops. Frustrated, Shoto comments that Moonfish likely has a lot of experience fighting and they need to be careful. Katsuki wants to counterattack but Shoto sternly warns him not to start any fires. Shoto analyses their situation and realizes that retreat isn't possible because of the poison gas surrounding them. He concludes that the villains are trying to drive the students into a corner.

Shoto is unable to fight properly as he's carrying Kosei, and he can't use his fire without risking the lives of those in the forest. He does his best to continue defending against Moonfish's onslaught. Katsuki becomes irritated that he's unable to fight back and expresses his desire to attack Moonfish with a big explosion. Shoto advises against it and Katsuki replies that Shoto needs to freeze the trees should they get set ablaze. Shoto still refutes this and explains the explosion might impair his vision, making him unable to see the fire.

Suddenly Shoto notices Mezo carrying Izuku towards them while running from a gigantic, berserk Dark Shadow. Mezo pleads with Shoto and Katsuki and asks them to create light with their quirks. The rampaging Dark Shadow knocks Moonfish out of the air and crushes him.[63] Shoto prepares to use his fire to weaken Fumikage's quirk, but Katsuki tells him to wait until Dark Shadow finishes Moonfish off. As soon as Dark Shadow defeats Moonfish, Shoto and Katsuki use their quirks to create light and free Fumikage from Dark Shadow's control.

Shoto admits he's surprised Fumikage's Dark Shadow was able to defeat Moonfish so easily after barely being able to defend against the villain himself. Shoto, Izuku, Mezo, and Fumikage decide they need to protect Katsuki at all costs. They form the Bakugo Escort Team and decide to take a shortcut through the forest to get him back to the facility. Katsuki claims he doesn't need protection, but Shoto tells him they will surround him for the time being.

While on their way to base camp, the group happens upon Ochaco and Tsuyu fighting with Himiko Toga. Himiko retreats and Izuku asks them to join their group. The girls question why Katsuki is not with them, forcing the group to realize that Katsuki is missing. Mr. Compress appears and reveals that he took him with his "magic".

Izuku demands the villain return Katsuki and Shoto agrees while attacking with a wave of ice. Mr. Compress easily evades by jumping through the treetops and says that the League of Villains wish to show him more options than the fanatical world of heroism he's drowning in. Mezo points out that Fumikage is missing as well and Shoto mulls over the fact that the villain was able to snatch two of his strongest classmates without a sound. Angry, Shoto replies to Mr. Compress' monologuing by telling him not to underestimate the students. Mr. Compress explains he took Fumikage because of how easily and violently he defeated Moonfish.

Shoto hands Kosei off to Ochaco and attempts to freeze Mr. Compress with a massive ice wave. He's surprised when Mr. Compress evades him again and says that the villains are going to take their friends. Izuku says they can't and Shoto agrees to chase after Mr. Compress in order to stop them.

Shoto and company chase after the masked villain, but he's too quick for them to catch on foot. Izuku devises a plan to use Ochaco and Tsuyu's quirk to propel the boys through the air. Ochaco nullifies their gravity, Tsuyu throws them and Mezo guides them through the air until they're able to tackle Mr. Compress into the ground. They land directly in front of Dabi, Himiko and Twice.

Dabi launches his flames towards the boys, allowing Mr. Compress to escape. Shoto manages to dodge Dabi's flames, but Izuku and Mezo do not. In an instant, Twice appears behind Shoto and attacks him, but Shoto blocks the attack with his ice. Shoto continues to hold back Twice until Mezo reveals that he took the marbles from Mr. Compress. Shoto, Mezo, and Izuku flee, but they get cut off by the sudden arrival of Kurogiri.

Mr. Compress reveals he compressed Shoto's ice to fool the students, and reveals he has the real marbles trapped in his mouth. Yuga shoots his laser from behind a bush and blasts Mr. Compress' face, who drops the marbles out of his mouth. Mezo is able to save Fumikage, but Dabi grabs the second marble before Shoto can get to it. Shoto watches in horror as Katsuki reverts to his normal form and is forced into Kurogiri's warp gate.[65]

The following day, Shoto visits Izuku and his classmates in the hospital. He runs into Eijiro and they agree they can't stay home while their friends remain injured. They both overhear Momo talking to All Might about a tracking device she placed on a Nomu. Shoto along with many students from Class 1-A visit Izuku on the day he wakes up from his injuries.
