High, and even inheriting a Quirk of his own along the way.
Cholo_tolentinohas posted a cosplay of Deku thatabsolutely stuns with vivid detail and anime accuracy. The cosplayer stands crouched against a gray background, with one hand on the ground to steady themselves and one balled into a fist, ready to unleash the young hero’sOne For All Quirkupon a deserving enemy.
Their outfit matches Deku’s perfectly: a green superhero suit with white accents. Their gloves are long, white, and elbow-length and a red belt wraps around their waist. They have also donned a pair of red and white tennis shoes and, of course, a green wig.

Green Flashes of Lightning Appear Around Izuku When He Uses His Quirk
The most visually captivating aspects of the look arethe green bolts of electrifying lightningsurrounding Cholo_tolentino. One surrounds their balled up fist, one wraps around their other arm, and finally, one is emanating from their outstretched leg. In the series, similarly hued green flashes of light begin to radiate from Deku when he is utilizing One For All, his fairly recently acquired Quirk. All Might, the Symbol of Peace and strongest hero, passed down this intensely charged power to the aspiring hero because he spotted great potential for greatness and willingness to work hard in the boy.
Deku’s story is proof thatdiligent efforts and an optimistic spirit can prove immensely usefulin overcoming challenges. He refused to accept that he would never become a hero because he had no Quirk, and kept practicing and taking notes from other heroes anyway. Others told him to give up, but he declined, and eventually, caught All Might’s attention. All Might felt that Deku was the only suitable replacement for him and thus, transferredhis One For All Quirkto Deku. Learning to properly harness the new skill was not easy in the slightest, but Izuku’s resilience and persistence helped him succeed.
