## Arsenal

**Standard Equipment:** None Notable

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**Dupli-Arms:** Mezo's Quirk gives the tips on his tentacles the ability to replicate parts of his body like his mouth, eyes, and ears. Mezo can also utilize these tentacles to create duplicates of his body parts such as an extra arm or use them as decoys. Mezo is able to improve his hearing, see through more angles at a time, and even glide in the air as a result.

* **Octoblow:** Mezo manifests several arms at once, allowing him to unleash a barrage of blows to defend himself.

* **Enhanced Speed**: Despite his size and muscular physique, Mezo possesses impressive speed. He was able to pull several of his classmates out of the way before Kurogiri had the time to warp them to different locations. Mezo was able to intercept Himiko Toga, a swift villain with whom Shota Aizawa and Izuku had trouble keeping up, before she could further harm an injured Izuku.

**Keen Intellect**: Mezo is known to be quite intelligent, scoring 10th place in the midterms, displaying his skill in academics. He is also very analytical, as he was able to effectively discern that the reason Fumikage lost control of Dark Shadow, which the Jet-Black Hero had trained to keep under control in the darkness, was due to Fumikage's negative emotions influencing Dark Shadow, making the Quirk even more powerful and unruly in the darkness. Mezo was also able to deduce the mechanics behind the Quirk of Mr. Compress just from seeing the after-effect of the latter’s power once.
