Neito Monoma, a U.A. High School Class 1-B student training to become a Pro Hero, sports slick blond hair parted to the right, periwinkle blue eyes, and a perpetual smirk. His hero costume adorns a black tuxedo with clock-themed accessories to monitor his Quirk’s time constraints, later upgraded post-graduation with clock earrings and gloves. Born with the *Copy* Quirk—enabling him to duplicate others’ abilities through touch—Neito endured childhood mockery for relying on borrowed powers. This forged his conviction that society categorizes individuals into “main characters” with innate heroic Quirks and “side characters” like himself. His insecurity fuels a bitter rivalry with Class 1-A, whom he blames for overshadowing his class through their prominence in high-stakes crises. At the U.A. Sports Festival, Neito masterminded Class 1-B’s low-profile strategy in the Obstacle Race, prioritizing covert observation over early exposure. In the Cavalry Battle, he taunted Katsuki Bakugo by seizing headbands and deploying copied Quirks like Explosion and Hardening, though his team fell short of advancing. His sharp analysis detected Ochaco Uraraka’s tactical ingenuity against Bakugo before spectators grasped her plan. Neito’s provocations against Class 1-A range from jeering at Tenya Iida’s clash with Stain to manipulating Pony Tsunotori into hurling insults, often prompting Itsuka Kendo to subdue him physically. Yet he openly supports Class 1-B, consoling Setsuna Tokage after her defeat and bolstering Sen Kaibara through stage fright. Academically, Neito faltered in written exams, necessitating remedial tutoring at the Forest Training Camp. When villains attacked the camp, he lauded Vlad King’s decisive action but mourned Katsuki’s abduction. His tactical ingenuity resurfaced in the Joint Training Battle, mimicking Ochaco’s voice via Hitoshi Shinso’s Persona Chords to ensnare Izuku Midoriya. A failed attempt to copy One For All—stymied by its stockpiling nature—sealed his loss. During the Final War, Neito proved indispensable by replicating Kurogiri’s Warp Gate and Shota Aizawa’s Erasure to contain Tomura Shigaraki. Overcoming initial self-doubt, he embraced his “puppet master” role, later earning a commemorative statue at U.A. Post-graduation, he ranked as the No. 10 Pro Hero, adopting a sleeker physique while retaining his iconic costume. Neito’s duality balances strategic brilliance with deep-seated insecurities. Though he self-identifies as a “side character,” his Quirk’s adaptability lets him uplift others, from reassuring Eri to aiding classmates in light novel vignettes. Articulate and theatrically flamboyant—mirroring Seiji Shishikura’s gravitas—he commands respect as Class 1-B’s de facto leader. His *Copy* Quirk’s restrictions include a 10-minute usage limit per ability, a four-Quirk storage ceiling, and incompatibility with accumulation-type or mutation Quirks requiring bodily changes. Cunning tactics, like flaunting three clocks to feign limited capacity, underscore his knack for psychological warfare. From a taunting rival masking fragility to a linchpin in pivotal battles, Neito’s journey reflects resilience against societal hierarchies and personal limitations, cementing his evolution into a tactician who redefines what it means to shine beyond the spotlight.
