High School League of Villains (All For One's mole) (Formerly) Fighting Style Ranged + Support combat

Navel Laser (ネビルレーザー Nebiru Rēzā?): Yuga's Quirk allows him to shoot a powerful sparkling laser cannon from his navel. It is so powerful, it can blast through two meters of solid concrete. If he fires the laser for more than 1 second at a time, he will suffer intestinal distress.

Due to being born Quirkless and given a power from All For One, Yuga's body was incompatible with Navel Laser, granting him very little control over his Quirk, requiring a special belt to wear in order to compensate while claiming that his Quirk's weakness was due to a birth defect.[12][13] However, due to his training at U.A., the negative side-effects of his Quirk have been greatly reduced.

As part of his training, Yuga continuously fired his Navel Laser to build up his body's endurance, increase the range of his blasts, and gain the ability to use his blast even when undergoing stomach pains.

By the time the Provisional Hero License Exam occurs, Yuga reveals that he has increased the duration of his Quirk to the point where it can last longer than one second. This was notably shown when he extends the use of his Quirk to signal his classmates and during the aftermath of Hero Work-Studies II when demonstrating his new Ultimate Move "Navel Saber".

During the Final War, while being close to death at the hands of Kunieda's Plant Quirk, Yuga's Quirk underwent an Awakening and gained an increase in power as a result, with the empowered light even causing Toru's Invisibility to glitch. (Ultimate Moves) Navel Buffet☆Laser (ネビル ビュッフェレーザー Nebiru Buffe Rēzā?): Yuga fires successive beams not only from his navel but also from his shoulders and knees, which are equipped with beam openings just like his Sparkle Belt. As a result, this technique puts more strain on him than when he usually uses his Quirk.[10] Navel Saber (ネビルセーバー Nebiru Sēbā?): Yuga concentrates the energy of his Navel Laser and shapes it into a cutting light blade attached to his bellybutton.[15] Supernova (スーパーノヴァ Sūpānova?):[16] Used first during Heroes: Rising. After charging his Navel Laser for an extended period, Yuga can unleash a much more powerful laser beam that surpasses his normal output. This move is a giant laser beam with a significantly wider diameter. Yuga can also increase its firepower by firing smaller beams alongside his larger beam.[17] Warp Refraction: Navel Laser (集しゅう光こう屈くっ折せつ ネビルレーザー Shūkō Kussetsu Nebiru Rēzā?): Yuga shoots out his uncontrolled Navel Laser, which is warped by Toru, spreading the light in all directions, blinding and damaging anything in the vicinity.[18]

Overall Abilities: While Yuga may not possess any melee combat skills, he does have a good handle on his Quirk: Navel Laser. The beams that Yuga can fire gives him a wide range of versatility, and enough firepower to penetrate through obstacles. The rays also have enough recoil to propel Yuga through the air at a high speed, effectively boosting his mobility. Yuga has also displayed the ability to manipulate the size and shape of his beams. Yuga also possesses good camaraderie, using his Navel Laser to distract his enemies from a distance, and even if he reaches his limit, Yuga effectively gives his comrades the opening required to defeat the opponent that stands before them. Yuga has repeatedly displayed the capacity to effortlessly destroy Villain Bots with a single blast from his Navel Laser. His aim with his beams is also on point, as he was able to blast Mr. Compress in the face before the villain could dodge it, all while Yuga concealed himself in nearby bushes.

On Nabu Island, Yuga, alongside Minoru Mineta and Toru Hagakure, had the mettle to face the powerful villain, Mummy. Despite neutralizing multiple mummified targets, with the former two reaching their Quirk limits, the nearly defeated trio bought enough time for reinforcements to arrive and finally defeat Mummy. The next day, Yuga and Momo Yaoyorozu acted as the first line of defense against Nine, Slice, and Chimera, with Yuga unleashing the full power of his Navel Laser, and Momo creating two large cannons, all to barrage the villain trinity into separating from each other. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of the Equipped Hero: Yoroi Musha, allowing Yuga to intern under the (now former) No. 9 Pro Hero and improve his offensive and defensive abilities.

Keen Intellect: While he was an unwilling mole, it should be noted that Yuga is also highly elusive and cunning despite his habit of boasting. He could leak the U.S.J. location and the relocated Summer Training Camp without getting caught. As mentioned by Izuku, Yuga is tough to read, given how he quickly hid his actions and, later, his enormous guilt and remorse until the Aoyama family were exposed as affiliates of All For One. With Hitoshi Shinso, Yuga effortlessly tricked All For One into thinking he had betrayed his friends again and delivered Izuku to him, only for Yuga to turn around on the villain leader and initiate a surprise attack. At the climax of battling Kunieda, Yuga haphazardly fired his Navel Laser to throw the plant villain off-balance when it was a ploy to get Toru to redirect the light of the laser assault to ultimately defeat him.

uga does possess a compassionate side and is shown to sympathize with Izuku due to the both of them having what he perceives as highly self-harmful and uncontrollable Quirks, although how he displays this sympathy initially startled Izuku, with the latter unaware that the messages were also subtle cries for help. Izuku has stated that he's never been able to read Yuga due to his unpredictable nature, however, he still ended up befriending him.[9][10] Though upon Yuga discovering the truth about One For All and Izuku having been Quirkless just like him, Yuga is thrown even deeper into despair, seeing just how much Izuku has fought for his beliefs and to protect others, while Yuga aids his mortal enemy. Despite seeing himself as a reprehensible villain, Yuga is genuinely kindhearted and desires to do good. He shows this during the Provisional Hero License Exam when he was willing to throw away his chance at a license to give Tenya Ida the opportunity to pass. Even during the Quirk Training Camp, despite being the one who leaked the location, he still acted to save Fumikage Tokoyami and nearly saved Katsuki Bakugo when the villains captured them.[11] Once All For One is arrested, Yuga lets himself slowly be more open and friendly with everyone, believing he can move on with All For One incarcerated and the lives of him and his parents no longer in danger,

Yuga is a young man with a slim build and a feminine face. He has long blond hair, worn flattened down around most of his head, spiked and sticking out to the sides at the bottom with a side fringe that slightly curves upwards before it curves down. He has notably long eyelashes and bright indigo eyes (light blue in the manga), giving him the appearance of a young prince.

His hero costume consists of a black bodysuit, over which he wears a suit of metallic lavender armor with golden accents; a chest plate, two spherical shoulder pads, elbow-length vambraces, and knee-length boots. His chest plate has a high V-neck collar with a golden Greek fret-like trim, as with the lower diaphanous piece under the belt and the edges of the vambraces. It also comes with a long, glittery indigo cape and a belt with a golden ring-shaped buckle with a blue crystal, from which he emits his Quirk, matching the smaller ones over his shoulder pads and knees. He has straight, angled golden lines running down his baggy pants, a matching set around the shafts of his boots, and a long red-tinted wing-shaped visor over his eyes.

Yuga initially appears to be vain and prideful, thinking of himself as superior to the rest of his classmates, especially regarding his Quirk. He exhibits flamboyant mannerisms, is fond of posing, and likes to grab the attention of those around him despite frequently getting ignored by his peers. His expression rarely changes from a closed smile, even while he speaks or gets hurt, and he's also prone to getting upset if interrupted or questioned. Yuga's sentences often end with a star (☆) symbol, indicating a fancy tone. He also plays up his French heritage, occasionally implementing French words into his sentences.

However, this persona is shown to be a façade, as Yuga holds severe insecurities and guilt due to the true nature of his Quirk and upbringing. Born Quirkless, Yuga struggled due to being "different" from everybody— something his parents worried about even more. Not wanting him to suffer from discrimination, these reservations directly led to the Aoyama clan contacting All For One, who gave Yuga his Navel Laser Quirk. As a result, this forced their family into his debt, and Yuga became an unwilling double agent in fear of death. Though he desires to have friends, Yuga rarely has the confidence to act upon it. This unconfident disposition is initially believed to be due to his insecurities and lack of social skills; he can unintentionally come off as "creepy" to others when he genuinely means well. But this is later demonstrated to be from the guilt of having to work for the villains and betraying his classmates. Due to putting them all in danger, he believes himself to be a "despicable villain", unworthy of having friends. Instead, he opts to self-isolate, seen through his eating of school meals alone rather than with his classmates and general avoidance of most social situations. Despite this, he has been shown to be rather observant, able to pick up on Ochaco Uraraka's crush on Izuku Midoriya before she even realized it herself.

Yuga is a young man with a slim figure, his face appears rather feminine and he has long, flattened yet spiky blonde hair. He is the most flamboyant student at U.A., who talks pridefully about himself and tries to grab the attention of those around him, in vain. To add to his exuberance, he has French heritage, and the French language is considered to be a romance language. His expression rarely deviates from a smile, even when hurt. His mannerism includes always smiling, acting luxurious, posing, showing vanity, and adding French words to his sentences. He acts prideful to hide the fact that he truly feels insecure and lacks confidence. He views himself as below everyone else in Class 1-A, due to his insecurity about having a defective quirk. Due to his thoughts of himself, he is naturally a loner, who lacks social skills. He received his quirk at the age of 7, after his parents took him to AfO. After that his parents would be under his debt. Despite seeing himself as a reprehensible villain, Yuga is genuinely kindhearted and desires to do good.
