Bowaza Aoann

Nashuhi Aoann (Brother)

Hachi Aoann (Sister)

Bowaza Aoann, also known as Voltage (電圧 *Den'atsu*), is a student of Class 1-A at U.A. High School, and is training there to become a Pro Hero. He is one of the main protagonists of My Hero Academia.

## Appearance

Bowaza is a reasonably tall young man who is well-built for his age. He has average length Jet Black hair. He also has brown eyes which have a quite thin shape, and wears pillowed glasses over them. During school hours, he wears the regular male U.A. uniform, replacing the usual brown dress shoe with casual pale cyan and gray lace-ups. His hero costume consists of a blue jacket with wrist-length braced sleeves, armored pants of the same color, a light blue steel chest piece and electric yellow boots. He also sports a mustard yellow utility belt around his waist, with little metal capsules containing stored electricity hanging off the front.

## Personality

Bowaza has a curious, intelligent, and hardworking personality, which stems from his drive to save people in danger. Focused, caring, and helpful, Bowaza preferred to keep to himself at the beginning of the year. After the events of the USJ, however, Bowaza notably became more sociable. After the sports festival he vowed to beat Bakugo and Todoroki in the future. During the Shie Hassaikai Raid, he opened up more to Deku about how useless he felt during the USJ, and the Forest Training Camp. He also lost against Bakugo during the sports festival, making him doubt himself even further. This pushed him to fight and bring his body close to destruction during his fight against Nocheru.

Calm and composed, yet destructive in combat, Bowaza is well-grounded on the ethics of heroism, only wishing to paralyze his opponents as opposed to killing them. Bowaza had a deep admiration for his fire abilities, which stems from his experiences as a child when he was kidnapped and rescued by a hero.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Having his training begin at a young age, Bowaza entered U.A. High School with a semi-developed quirk, and has been established as one of the strongest students in Class 1-A. He earned 4th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test and 3rd in the U.A. Sports Festival. Bowaza also has a great handle over his versatile and powerful Quirk, Electron Bolt, which grants him incredible capabilities. Using the bolts, Bowaza can quickly paralyze opponents. Bowaza also employs his abilities for mobility purposes, transforming his body into electricity to travel quickly from one spot to the other. Bowaza can also enter electrical streams, and he can use this technique to travel through wires and get into places it’s out being notices.
During the U.S.J. Incident, Bowaza was able to easily overpower small-time villains by himself, and later on showcased elite judgment, combat awareness, and athletic ability during the U.A. Sports Festival. At the festival, Bowaza was able to power down a 0 Point Robot without making any contact, as well as fight on par with Kastuki Bakugo for a prolonged period of time to a nigh-draw. In his battle against Bakugo, a fans claimed that Bowaza was already stronger than the some Pro Heroes. During the Hosu Incident, Bowaza began to explore his quirk’s Melee capabilities, particularly when he, Izuku, Tenya, and Shoto faced off against the Hero Killer: Stain. Following his run-in with the Hero Killer, Bowaza is recognized as one of strongest students of Class 1-A, as noted by Pixie-Bob. Although he is powerful, contending with individuals such as Stain and Gang Orca, required Bowaza’s effective teamwork with multiple people in order to successfully emerge victorious against such experienced opponents.

* **Enhanced Durability**: Bowaza has proven himself to be quite resilient, being able to withstand multiple attacks from Bakugo, including a direct, explosion, without sustaining major injuries.

* **Enhanced Stamina**: Bowaza has shown to be able to endure combat even while injured, such as in his battle with Stain, wherein he was able to continue fighting and supporting his allies despite suffering from multiple bleeding injuries on his arm and face
* **Enhanced Agility**: Bowaza is fast, agile, and has quick reflexes. He was able to keep third place during the majority of the Obstacle Race during the Sports Festival thanks to his own athletic ability. He is also able to move through electric currents within a split second in order to move himself around quickly. He was also able to jump in front of Shoto to take a knife thrown at Shoto’s face directly to his arm, and several other attacks by Stain, a notably agile opponent.

* **Keen Intellect**: Bowaza has proven to be a very intelligent person. And in spite of his training, Bowaza is also very skilled in academics, having scored 2nd place in the midterms. He was able to work out the location of Izuku, Tenya, and Stain from an emergency call in and make it in time.

After witnessing Izuku’s recent awakening of a second Quirk, Bowaza notes that the latter can use it like he can use his bolts as whips, but Bowaza didn't recognize the true depth of Izuku's new power.

### Quirk

**Electron Bolts** (電子ボルト *Denshi Boruto*): Bowaza‘s Quirk gives him the ability to generate blue electricity from his limbs.

Due to years of admiring heroes, Bowaza had developed his Quirk before arriving at U.A., with his quirk he can create electric whips for capturing, shoot bolts as projectiles, paralyze the opponent to subdue, and turn into electricity to move around the air and through electric currents.

If he overuses his electricity then his body will begin to burn up. Until his bodily limit is reached however, his Quirk has no visible effect on his body. Bowaza can also burn up if he stays in his Volt-Mode for too long.

As part of his training, Bowaza went into Volt-Mode and stayed in for longer and longer periods of time, he also ran every time he was in Volt-Mode to see how many more laps he could complete each time.

### Stats

## Equipment

**Hero Costume**: Bowaza’s hero costume is designed to prevent electrical burns. It is meant to diminish the drawbacks of Bowaza’s Quirk as much as possible by preventing self burn. The costume is also comparable to Mirio’s as it is made from his DNA, so when he switches to Volt-Mode, his costume travels with him.

* **Electrical Resistant Top**: Bowaza’s blue top is made from a special electric-resistant fiber.
* **Combat Vest**: The blue metal vest on Bowaza’s chest is capable of stopping fatal blows to his chest. The vest can also store electricity, so when Bowaza is physically hit in the chest the opponent will be electrocuted.
* **Utility Belt**: There are metal capsules on Bowaza’s mustard yellow belt that contain electric grenades, pain medication, and disinfectants.
* **Iron Boots**: Bowaza is outfitted with a pair of electric yellow iron boots. They are later upgraded with steel going across the front of the boots, to assist with his super move, **Plasma Fists: Thunderous Kick**, and normal kicks.
* **Iron Knuckles**: Bozawa has iron pieces on his fist to assist with his physical attacks.
