Tsuyu ‘Tsu’ Asui, also known as Froppy, has fun at the beach in this My Hero Academia cosplay.
Ahri, a cosplayer and fan of the popular superhero anime, recently shared her take on the Rainy Season Hero on her Instagram account. However, unlike traditional depictions of the character, the cosplay switched up her conventional look by converting her iconic hero costume into a swimsuit. This took the fan-favorite Class-1A member out of the halls of UA and onto the beach, where she was pictured having fun in the sand.
Ahri showed off multiple shots of her version of Asui, all picturing her in a version of the character’s green, black and yellow suit, converted into a one-piece swimsuit. She brought the hero’s optimistic and wholesome energy into each shot, instilling the character with innocence and joy. Ahri also added more minor details of Froppy’s costume into the look. This included goggles on her head, long black hair tied up into a large bow and a green line across the front of her face. The comments on the post were full of users complementing the cosplayer for her work.
Who is Froppy in My Hero Academia?
Froppy is a classmate of Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist of My Hero Academia. She was introduced in Season 1 of the show and quickly became a fan-favorite thanks to her humor, loyalty to her friends and unique quirk. Her specific power is “Frog,” a quirk allowing her to take advantage of a frog’s abilities. This includes an extendable tongue, hopping skills and the ability to stick to walls. She also has increased swimming capabilities and can camouflage herself. The character plays a supporting role in the series. However, she took a backseat in Season 6 Part 2 as the story primarily focussed on Deku as a vigilante, labeled “Dark Deku” by fans.
Season 6 of the hit series concluded in March 2023, ending on a cliffhanger as it debuted the USA’s Number 1 hero, Star and Stripe. Her appearance begins the “Star and Stripe” arc, which will be covered in Season 7. The manga spinoff series My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has also been confirmed for an anime adaptation.
The series is also expected to gain even more mainstream appeal thanks to an upcoming collaboration with the National Basketball Association. This special collab recently shared a poster of the beloved Number 1 Hero All-Might dunking for the NBA. However, My Hero Academia has also experienced backlash lately, thanks to a character whose name references a WWII war crime, leading China to ban the anime/manga. The K-Pop star Karina, a member of the band Aespa, even received criticism for supporting the show due to this controversy.
My Hero Academia’s anime, produced by Studio Bones, is available to stream on Crunchyroll. In addition, the manga, written by Kohei Horikoshi, can be read via Viz Media with a Shonen Jump subscription.
