The Dark Hero Arc of My hero academia was one of the most shocking series, Featuring Deku taking on a vigilante persona. For the first time, the UA High student fought alone, chasing Shigaraki and All For One alone and turning his back on his UA comrades. Before this, Deku was one of the most optimistic heroes who prioritized teamwork, so his sharp shift to individualism and fighting independently was jarring.
@ariem._.cosplay has posted A cosplay of the My hero academia hero’s darkest arc, Complete with high quality photography work from @squirtlesquadphotography. Dark Deku’s appearance is monumentally different from Izuku’s normal look and first hero costume. His vigilante hero suit is menacing, more like a villain’s costume than a hero’s.
@ariem._.cosplay’s green hero bodysuit costume with red pockets and white details looks similar to Deku’s previous suit, but noticeably damaged, with the marks and tears received in past battles. They wear white gloves, black boots and a yellow scarf, and the colorful accessories tie the vigilant look together.

His silver respirator still covers his mouth, but the rest of the dark green mask also hides his entire face from view, with two pointed green “ears” at the top. @ariem._.cosplay’s recreation of the mask is exceptionally accurateCapturing the threatening aura it exudes in the anime and manga. Finally, long, black tendrils snake out from behind Deku’s yellow cape in the cosplay image, representing the hero’s Blackwhip Quirk that he discovered shortly before the Dark Hero arc.
