==Personality== |
==Personality== |
||
+ | Tsunagu is an elegant man with flamboyant tendencies. He believes very strongly that people with influence must maintain a positive appearance both physically and socially. Tsunagu often uses metaphors referencing jeans, denim, and various other sewing and fabric-based phrases, often inspiring his recruits with speeches, telling them to keep their life straight like their jeans.{{Ref|chap=57|ep=31}} |
||
− | Tsunagu does not seem to like brutish people and seems to have a very heroic attitude as he wants to show [[Katsuki Bakugo|Katsuki]] what makes someone a real hero. |
||
+ | Tsunagu admits to being unfond of brutish individuals like [[Katsuki Bakugo]].{{Ref|chap=48|ep=27}} He took Katsuki on to try to fix his attitude, only to be frustrated by the young man's stubbornness.{{Ref|chap=86|ep=47}} |
||
− | He's also very selfless and brave, as he did not hesitate to take the full brunt of All For One's attack to save his allies, something the latter praised him with. |
||
+ | Tsunagu takes the role of being a hero very seriously. He is selfless, brave, and charismatic, and aims to spread a sense of a peace to all people and believes that no matter how dire a situation may be, a real hero doesn't believe in making excuses. He did not hesitate to take the full brunt of [[All For One]]'s attack to save his allies, something for which he was praised for by the latter.{{Ref|chap=89|ep=48}} |
||
− | == History == |
||
− | A year prior to starting his teaching career [[Eraserhead]] was called into a meeting with [[Best Jeanist]], [[Manual]], [[Deathgoro|Deathtegoro]], [[Snipe]], [[Thirteen|13]], [[Endeavor]], [[Buster Hero]], [[Midnight]], [[Ingenium]], and [[Gunhead]], They were there with an unnamed police officer to speak about the unwilling civilians injected with [[Trigger]]. The officer explained that the people in question were more of victims than villains. Endeavor argued that any public use of a quirk is illegal and that they should treat them as villains and let the police investigate the backgrounds of future captures. He said this is the only way to protect the innocent while not risking themselves through hesitating every time they see a knew enemy. All Might, who was not present, had his reply to the problem delivered by [[Naomasa Tsukauchi|Naomasa]]. He stated that he would assess the situation at the scene more carefully because as heroes they must not bring harm to innocent citizens. This was in direct opposition to Endeavors answer greatly angering him. After the meeting ended, a [[Suicide Bomb|Suicide Bomber]] attacked the police station. Before Best Jeanist or Ingenium could react Endeavor jumped into action. Endeavor still fuming over what had just transpired decided he was going to incinerate the villain. However, the villains quirk would most likely have a volatile react to Endeavors quick. Midnight calls Aizawa to help resolve the problem before it gets explosive. Aizawa wraps the villain up throwing him into Midnight. By this point she has undone her blouse revealing her chest. Suicide Bomb then lands face first in her breasts no longer angry and passes out. The [[Midnight Boys]] come bursting in asking if Midnight is unharmed. She tells them to hand the villain over to police custody. She tells Bomb if he acts up again she will personally bring him to her agency and dole out punishment. Bomb is clearly not upset by this but the Midnight boys become increasingly jealous. |

+ | ==Abilities== |
+ | [[File:Fiber Master.gif|thumb|220px|thumb|left|Best Jeanist's proficiency with his Quirk, Fiber Master, is so great, he can restrain an immensely powerful villain such as All For One.]] |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | '''Overall Abilities''': Tsunagu was ranked 4th of Japan's heroes, before taking the spot of No. 3 after [[Toshinori Yagi|All Might]]'s retirement. He also possesses a proficient handle on his powerful [[Quirk]], Fiber Master. Tsunagu can unravel part of his clothes into fabric strings and manipulate them in order to restrain targets.{{Ref|chap=87|ep=47}} Since his hero costume is covered from head to toe with denim, his Quirk specialty, he always has a source of easily controllable fibers for him to weaponize at his disposal. Another known application includes manipulating fibers of clothes worn by allies for forced evasive maneuvers. |
||
− | Tsunagu is mentioned alongside [[Toshinori Yagi|All Might]] and [[Enji Todoroki|Endeavor]].<ref name="ch3"/> |
||
+ | As he is ranked highly, Tsunagu is a very powerful hero, which has been proven in his fight against the [[League of Villains]]. During the [[Kamino Incident]], Tsunagu was not only successful at restraining multiple [[Nomu]], some of which were defeated by his comrades [[Yu Takeyama|Mt. Lady]] and [[Kugo Sakamata|Gang Orca]], but he was capable of swiftly immobilizing the incredibly powerful All For One, who sincerely applauded his efforts. However, the latter case was temporary, as the Symbol of Evil broke free from Tsunagu's restraints and defeated the trio of Hideout Raid Team members, although the denim-clad hero got his comrades to safety, leaving three Pro Heroes with moderate injuries. Despite being overpowered, Tsunagu had the mettle to continue fighting, and attempted to constrain All For One again, but the masked villain swiftly dealt a grievous injury to the fabrikinetic, taking the hero out of the battle entirely. |
||
⚫ | |||
− | He is introduced deducing that [[Katsuki Bakugo|Katsuki]] chose him and his office because he ranks among the top five heroes. Katsuki replies that he nominated him, to which Best Jeanist says that he did since the other candidates have been good kids and that it has been a while since someone like Katsuki has come along, telling Katsuki that reforming brutish people is what he does as a hero. Tsunagu tells Katsuki that he will show him what it is that makes people Heroes.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 48]]</ref> |
||
+ | [[File:Thread of Hope.gif|220px|thumb|A recuperated Best Jeanist returns to the fold, and single-handedly subdues six top-grade members of the Paranormal Liberation Front.]] |
||
− | After [[Chizome Akaguro|Stain's]] defeat is published, the incident that occurred with the Hero Killer is on Katsuki's mind. Best Jeanist states that the incident is also on his mind but they must remain calm and collected. Best Jeanist tells Katsuki and his sidekicks that they will be running things smoothly as usual.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 57]]</ref> |
||
+ | After months of convalescence, Tsunagu finally resumed his hero work and made his surprise comeback during the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War. Immediately upon arriving on the battlefield in [[Jaku City]], Tsunagu used additional fiber wire support items to detain [[Tomura Shigaraki]], [[Dabi]], [[Atsuhiro Sako|Mr. Compress]], [[Shuichi Iguchi|Spinner]], [[Tomoyasu Chikazoku|Skeptic]], and [[Gigantomachia]], all of whom are powerful villains. Being able to restrict Gigantomachia is an exceptionally impressive feat on Tsunagu's part, as the behemoth possesses immeasurable strength, and thus is virtually impossible to subdue. Whilst binding the six [[Paranormal Liberation Front]] members, Tsunagu displayed nigh-severe coughing, and told himself not to falter. This is revealed to be because he was put in a death-like state with a medical procedure for several months in order to fool Dabi into thinking he'd been killed; because of the procedure and the months spent in a comatose state, his body was severely weakened. |
||
+ | Months later in the Final War against the villains, Tsunagu further displayed his prowess and skill, being hand-picked to lead the Hero-Team to assist Deku at the U.A Fortress against "Tomura". |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
− | After Katsuki is captured by the [[League of Villains]]' [[Vanguard Action Squad]], Tsunagu is enlisted to help in the rescue operation to save Katsuki. Best Jeanist, Endeavor, [[Edgeshot]], and All Might are present and ready to begin the strategy meeting.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 84]]</ref> Before the infiltration begins, Best Jeanist mulls over his inability to help change Katsuki's attitude and attributes it to his pride.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 86]]</ref> |
||
+ | *'''Superior Technique''': Tsunagu's greatest strength is his masterful control over his Quirk, due to his years of training and experience. Not only can he manipulate almost any fabric supplied to him, but he can also even manipulate some fibers that aren't used for clothing, such as carbon fiber. His control over this material was enough to restrain Gigantomachia, an extremely dangerous and highly capable villain. In addition, his Quirk was noted by All For One to be so hard to master that he did not want to steal it, which is another testament to his skill as a Hero. |
||
+ | '''Keen Intellect''': Being the collected individual that he is, Tsunagu has a rather sharp mind, commonly deducing the reason(s) behind a person or spectacle after an event has recently unfolded. From observing Katsuki's performance at the U.A. Sports Festival, Tsunagu instantly caught wind of the blond's superiority complex before the pair even met. With Dabi's broadcast during the Paranormal Liberation War, Tsunagu easily discerned that it was part of the pyrokinetic's plan to rattle the world's faith in heroes. |
||
− | [[File: Heroes in Action.png|thumb|166x166px]] |
||
+ | *'''Skilled Youth Counselor''': The denim-wearing hero has been implied to have a good record of reforming troubled youths. When interning Katsuki, Tsunagu attempted to educate him on hero etiquette, but was unsuccessful. This fact left Gang Orca surprised that Tsunagu could not reform Katsuki's barbaric behavior. |
||
− | [[Mount Lady]] destroys the front of the warehouse and she, [[Tiger]], Best Jeanist, and [[Gang Orca]] infiltrate the partially destroyed warehouse and apprehend all the [[Nomu]]s while Tiger rescues [[Ragdoll]]. Best Jeanist notes that the warehouse has been cleared.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 87]]</ref> |
||
+ | ===Quirk=== |
||
− | Best Jeanist orders the [[Police Force]] to come in and hold position in case there are more Nomus around. Suddenly, [[All For One (Character)|All For One]] appears and reveals that he stole [[Search|Ragdoll's Quirk]]. Best Jeanist restrains the villain with [[Fiber Master|his Quirk]], but before he can act further, the warehouse is completely destroyed and the surrounding area suffers damage.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 88]]</ref> |
||
+ | {{Nihongo|'''[[Fiber Master]]'''|ファイバーマスター|Faibā Masutā}}: Tsunagu's Quirk allows him to freely manipulate the threads in any nearby piece of fabric. He has power over all types of cloth, but his Quirk works best with denim and is less effective on sweats. Fiber Master also works on other types of fiber not related to fabric, such as carbon fibers.{{Ref/Vigilantes|chap=53}} |
||
+ | Tsunagu primarily uses this power to restrain his targets, either by using their own clothing against them, or simply unravels portions of his own clothing into strings. |
||
− | Best Jeanist managed to react quickly and used his Quirk to manipulate the clothes of his fellow pro heroes and reeled them backwards, which allowed them to survive All For One's attack. However, Mount Lady, Tiger, and Gang Orca are heavily injured while Best Jeanist himself is also heavily injured but conscious. All For One praises Best Jeanist for his quick thinking; Best Jeanist attempts to use his Quirk to attack All For One, but All For One impales him from afar which knocks out Best Jeanist.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 89]]</ref> |

||
+ | *{{Nihongo|'''[[Blackout Bind]]'''|{{Ruby|締|し}}め{{Ruby|落|お}}とす|Shime Otosu}}: Best Jeanist wraps threads around his opponent's neck and attempts to suffocate them into unconsciousness. |
||
+ | *{{Nihongo|'''[[Catching Cradle]]'''|キャッチングクレイドル|Kyatchingu Kureidoru}}: Using the fibers of his clothing, Best Jeanist creates a web of fibers to act as a safety net. |

||
+ | ==Equipment== |
||
− | ==Quirk and Abilities== |
||
+ | '''Denim Hero Costume''': Best Jeanist wears a costume made completely out of denim, giving him ready access to the material his Quirk works best with. |
||
− | {{Nihongo|'''[[Fiber Master]]'''|ファイバーマスター|Faibā Masutā}}: Tsunagu can manipulate fibers at will as long as the person is wearing clothes. He can unravel a part of his clothes into fabric strings and can use them to restrain targets, as shown when he apprehends the League of Villains' Nomus. This Quirk works better on denim rather than sweats.<ref>''Boku no Hero Academia Manga'': [[Chapter 88]], Page 12</ref> |
||
+ | '''Industrial Strength Fiber Cables''': Best Jeanist can use such cables to restrain incredibly strong enemies who cannot be restrained be regular threads. So far, he has only been seen using these cables against Gigantomachia. |

Tsunagu Hakamada (
Appearance
Tsunagu is a tall, slim man with an unnaturally long and flexible neck, as shown on several occasions, and dark, heavily-lashed eyes which appeared to tilt slightly inwards. He has rather long, blond hair which he wears combed drastically to the left, covering his left eye.
His hero costume consists of a pair of jeans, a denim waistcoat with two large breast pockets, and a denim dress shirt with a very high collar which covers his face up to just below his nose. He wears two belts, one around his collar and one around his waist, and short dark brown boots with thick gray shafts and soles.
During the Paranormal Liberation War, after making his return to duty he now wears a darker, toned version of his previous costume. In addition he wears a new belt with his hero name initials and new boots.

Personality
Tsunagu is an elegant man with flamboyant tendencies. He believes very strongly that people with influence must maintain a positive appearance both physically and socially. Tsunagu often uses metaphors referencing jeans, denim, and various other sewing and fabric-based phrases, often inspiring his recruits with speeches, telling them to keep their life straight like their jeans.[3]
Tsunagu admits to being unfond of brutish individuals like Katsuki Bakugo.[4] He took Katsuki on to try to fix his attitude, only to be frustrated by the young man's stubbornness.[5]
Tsunagu takes the role of being a hero very seriously. He is selfless, brave, and charismatic, and aims to spread a sense of a peace to all people and believes that no matter how dire a situation may be, a real hero doesn't believe in making excuses. He did not hesitate to take the full brunt of All For One's attack to save his allies, something for which he was praised for by the latter.[6]
Abilities
Overall Abilities: Tsunagu was ranked 4th of Japan's heroes, before taking the spot of No. 3 after All Might's retirement. He also possesses a proficient handle on his powerful Quirk, Fiber Master. Tsunagu can unravel part of his clothes into fabric strings and manipulate them in order to restrain targets.[7] Since his hero costume is covered from head to toe with denim, his Quirk specialty, he always has a source of easily controllable fibers for him to weaponize at his disposal. Another known application includes manipulating fibers of clothes worn by allies for forced evasive maneuvers.
As he is ranked highly, Tsunagu is a very powerful hero, which has been proven in his fight against the League of Villains. During the Kamino Incident, Tsunagu was not only successful at restraining multiple Nomu, some of which were defeated by his comrades Mt. Lady and Gang Orca, but he was capable of swiftly immobilizing the incredibly powerful All For One, who sincerely applauded his efforts. However, the latter case was temporary, as the Symbol of Evil broke free from Tsunagu's restraints and defeated the trio of Hideout Raid Team members, although the denim-clad hero got his comrades to safety, leaving three Pro Heroes with moderate injuries. Despite being overpowered, Tsunagu had the mettle to continue fighting, and attempted to constrain All For One again, but the masked villain swiftly dealt a grievous injury to the fabrikinetic, taking the hero out of the battle entirely.
After months of convalescence, Tsunagu finally resumed his hero work and made his surprise comeback during the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War. Immediately upon arriving on the battlefield in Jaku City, Tsunagu used additional fiber wire support items to detain Tomura Shigaraki, Dabi, Mr. Compress, Spinner, Skeptic, and Gigantomachia, all of whom are powerful villains. Being able to restrict Gigantomachia is an exceptionally impressive feat on Tsunagu's part, as the behemoth possesses immeasurable strength, and thus is virtually impossible to subdue. Whilst binding the six Paranormal Liberation Front members, Tsunagu displayed nigh-severe coughing, and told himself not to falter. This is revealed to be because he was put in a death-like state with a medical procedure for several months in order to fool Dabi into thinking he'd been killed; because of the procedure and the months spent in a comatose state, his body was severely weakened.
Months later in the Final War against the villains, Tsunagu further displayed his prowess and skill, being hand-picked to lead the Hero-Team to assist Deku at the U.A Fortress against "Tomura".
- Enhanced Durability: Tsunagu has a high amount of durability, as was able to take a direct hit from All For One's attack and remain conscious, before taking heavy injuries, and eventually losing one of his lungs.[8]
- Superior Technique: Tsunagu's greatest strength is his masterful control over his Quirk, due to his years of training and experience. Not only can he manipulate almost any fabric supplied to him, but he can also even manipulate some fibers that aren't used for clothing, such as carbon fiber. His control over this material was enough to restrain Gigantomachia, an extremely dangerous and highly capable villain. In addition, his Quirk was noted by All For One to be so hard to master that he did not want to steal it, which is another testament to his skill as a Hero.
Keen Intellect: Being the collected individual that he is, Tsunagu has a rather sharp mind, commonly deducing the reason(s) behind a person or spectacle after an event has recently unfolded. From observing Katsuki's performance at the U.A. Sports Festival, Tsunagu instantly caught wind of the blond's superiority complex before the pair even met. With Dabi's broadcast during the Paranormal Liberation War, Tsunagu easily discerned that it was part of the pyrokinetic's plan to rattle the world's faith in heroes.
- Skilled Youth Counselor: The denim-wearing hero has been implied to have a good record of reforming troubled youths. When interning Katsuki, Tsunagu attempted to educate him on hero etiquette, but was unsuccessful. This fact left Gang Orca surprised that Tsunagu could not reform Katsuki's barbaric behavior.
Quirk
Fiber Master (ファイバーマスター Faibā Masutā?): Tsunagu's Quirk allows him to freely manipulate the threads in any nearby piece of fabric. He has power over all types of cloth, but his Quirk works best with denim and is less effective on sweats. Fiber Master also works on other types of fiber not related to fabric, such as carbon fibers.[9]
Tsunagu primarily uses this power to restrain his targets, either by using their own clothing against them, or simply unravels portions of his own clothing into strings.
Ultimate Moves
- Blackout Bind (
締 め落 とす Shime Otosu?): Best Jeanist wraps threads around his opponent's neck and attempts to suffocate them into unconsciousness. - Catching Cradle (キャッチングクレイドル Kyatchingu Kureidoru?): Using the fibers of his clothing, Best Jeanist creates a web of fibers to act as a safety net.
- Clothing Is the Cage of Our Times (?): Best Jeanist manipulates the fibers of his opponent's clothes to restrain them.
- Thread of Hope (
一 縷 の希 望 を Ichiru no Kibō o?): Using multiple fibers at once, Best Jeanist manipulates them all at the same time to either restrain or secure everything into place.
