Summary
My Hero Academiais known for its amazing female cast, filled with women and girls who can get things done. Although Tsuyu Asui, otherwise known as Froppy, is not a powerhouse like Mirko or therecently introduced Star and Stripe, she has become a fan favorite among all the others.
With her frog-inspired abilities, unyielding spirit, and comic relief she brings from time to time, some fans say she might be the most beloved of all the female characters in the series. Froppy’s contributions to Class 1-A and the series as a whole make her an indispensable part of theMy Hero Academiauniverse.
1Strong Moral Compass
Inherently Good As A Person
Tsuyu Asui is a free person in every sense of the word. She speaks her mind freely and does not hold back on what she feels, which is one of the reasons for her great personality and moral compass, as she expects people to be straightforward like her.
She believes rules are not meant to be broken, as they are put in place to protect people, and that thosewho break the law are villainsregardless of their motivation or reasons. This is most likely the reason why she set out to become a pro-hero, as she has not stated any other motivations for it.
2Sense Of Responsibility
Good At Balancing Multiple Responsibilities
As a child, Tsuyu had no choice but to mature early to take care of her younger siblings becauseher parents were never arounddue to the nature of their jobs and busy schedules. This made her a responsible person quite early in life, as she had to balance school, maintain her home, and be responsible for her brothers without tipping the scales.
For this reason, she is capable of leading others and sometimes assumes a vital role in certain situations, as she demonstrated during the Joint Training Battle.
3Made The Most Of Her Unusual Quirk
The Ultimate Role Player
As most people would have guessed, the reason Tsuyu is called Froppy is because of her mutant class quirk, whichgives her the physiology of a frog. In fact, she even stated that she can also bring out her guts to clean it the way a frog can. Compared to most other quirks in the series, this is on the lower end as she only ranked 13th in the Quirk Apprehension Test held by Aizawa, but it does not stop her from contributing to the good cause in the ways she can.
She also trained hard to improve her strength, speed, and other frog-like abilities, like camouflaging herself, so as not to become a burden to her friends in battle.
4Excellent Judgment And Composure In Dire Situations
Can Keep Her Cool Even In Tough Situations
In the words of Recovery Girl, Tsuyu is “a perfect pillar of emotional support,” as she is excellent at keeping people at ease and making them feel safe, which is one of the best qualities an aspiring pro-hero should possess. She is calm and collected most of the time, and she manages to stay level-headed no matter the situation she finds herself in.
When the members of Class 1-Awere plotting to go rescue Bakugo after he was kidnapped despite the Pro Heroes forbidding them from doing so, Tsuyu was one of the few people who spoke against such a mission being too dangerous for members of their class and that breaking the rules would also make them like the villains they wanted to oppose.
5Pristine Character Development Despite Limited Screen Time
Matured As The Story Went On
Tsuyu developed quite a lot as a person and as a hero throughout the series, even though her limited screen time does not do justice to it. Following Bakugo’s rescue, she came to realize her mistake, and this was more evident in the Final War as she conversed with Himiko Toga.
Her beliefs became less rigid, and she realized life is not so black and white. She decided she would assistOchaco in trying to reach out to Toga, even if it meant putting the rules aside.
6Ability To Combine Well With Others In Battle
The Ultimate Support
As said earlier, Tsuyu’s quirk is far from the heavy hitters in the series, and as a result, she assumes a support role in most battles. She possesses a great sense of camaraderie, and the versatility of her quirk allows her to use her abilities in combination with whomever she is paired with at that point in time, no matter what quirk they might have.
In fact, one of her signature movescan only be done with Ochaco, where they combine to float stones and hurl them at their targets.
7Highly Intelligent
Academically And Tactically Sound
Despite her looks and mannerisms, Tsuyu is a very smart person who, despite all the responsibilities she had to shoulder early in life, was an honor student in middle school. This also translated to her high school education, as she placed sixth in the midterms. However, her intelligence is not only restricted to academics, as she has shown on several occasions that she can think up strategies on the fly, as shown during the First Term Final Exam and the first round of the Joint Training Battle.
Her intuition during the U.S.J. Incident was also spot on, as she was able to draw parallels betweenMidoriya and All Might’s quirkswhile also deducing that the League of Villains had come up with a way of going toe-to-toe with All Might.
