My Hero Academia has no problem introducing new costumes for its stars. Time and again, the kids of Class 1-A have needed makeovers. Izuku and Bakugo have gotten their share their add ons, and it seems like Momo has joined the gang.

After all, a new chapter of My Hero Academia just went live, and it revealed part of Momo’s new look.
Thanks to chapter 254, fans will be able to check out the costume if they head over to Viz’s Shonen Vault. The online service added the new chapter earlier today, and it shows off a colored spread of the My Hero Academia gang. In the back right, fans can see Momo, and the heroine is looking fierce in her new hero uniform.
As you can see, Momo is wearing an outfit that is tied towards the top. Rather than a deep cut to her belly button, Momo has a top that plunges into a tie. The tie opens up to show off the hero’s exposed stomach, and it seems the outfit has a high cut on the thighs. This means plenty of skin is still exposed for Momo’s Quirk, but it is not quite as raunchy as Midnight would like.
The look is a solid one for Momo and has set up a new debate in the fandom. For some time, fans have questioned whether Momo’s costume was more utilitarian or fan-service, so you can bet this costume will rankle the debate. But for now, it seems like Momo has a new look to rock whether Mineta approves or not.

My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he’s eventually scouted by the world’s best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015. My Hero Academia will also be launching its second big movie, Heroes Rising, in Japan this December.
