Hanta Sero, hero name Cellophane, trains as a Class 1-A student at U.A. High School to become a pro hero. Standing 177 cm tall with a lean frame, he sports chin-length black hair in jagged bangs and a signature straight-toothed grin. Cylindrical tape dispensers embedded in his elbows fuel his Quirk, Tape, enabling him to fire adhesive cellophane-like strips for combat, mobility, and tactical support. His hero costume combines a black bodysuit with yellow highlights, white boots, and a tape-dispenser-inspired helmet hiding his face behind a visor. Eight years post-Final War, he graduates as the No. 36 Pro Hero, sporting a redesigned outfit and a thin beard. Born July 28 (Leo, blood type B), Hanta studied at Sarukamai Middle School before U.A. Academically ranking 17th in Class 1-A, he earned an 84 on the Provisional License Exam. Though his grades hover near average, he diligently seeks tutoring from peers like Momo Yaoyorozu. His Tape Quirk, initially underestimated, showcases versatility through innovative tactics—restraining foes, constructing barricades, and enabling aerial maneuvers. Rigorous training amplifies his tape’s durability, speed, and output, though prolonged use dries his skin. Signature moves include Barricade Tape for shielding and Tape Shot: Trident, a triple-projectile strike. Outgoing and easygoing, Hanta lightens tense moments with humor and nicknames, bridging gaps between reserved classmates like Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki. While occasionally blunt—like comparing Momo’s Quirk to excretion—he promptly apologizes when corrected. His resolve shines in challenges, such as battling Shoto in the U.A. Sports Festival despite slim odds. Preferring teamwork over glory, he thrives in support roles, aiding rescue missions during the U.S.J. Incident and trapping opponents in the License Exam. Notable arcs include interning with the Lurkers (Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady) after catching their attention in the Sports Festival. During Final Exams, he partners with Minoru Mineta against Midnight but loses to her sleep gas. In the Joint Training Battle, he outsmarts Setsuna Tokage by attaching Bakugo’s grenade to her regenerated limb, clinching victory. Post-graduation, he adopts a Spider-Man-esque swinging technique, a nod to his idol acknowledged by creator Kohei Horikoshi. Hanta’s alliances underscore his collaborative spirit: teaming with Bakugo and Kirishima in the Sports Festival cavalry battle, balancing Mineta’s antics without embracing their extremes. Bakugo trusts his skills, summoning him mid-battle for backup. Beyond combat, he joins extracurriculars like the Culture Festival’s effects team. Personal tidbits include favoring healthy snacks, a room adorned with ethnic decor overshadowed by classmates’ flamboyant styles, and a fondness for American hero motifs, aligning with his Spider-Man-inspired epilogue persona.
