Momo Yaoyorozu is far more than just the rich, elegant girl from My Hero Academia. She’s a walking paradox—soft-spoken yet fiercely strategic, reserved yet surprisingly open, and above all, an absolute powerhouse when it counts. Over time, she’s become one of the most respected (and beloved) students in Class 1-A—not just for her brains or Quirk, but for how genuinely she cares about everyone around her.

While Momo might not always be front and center like Midoriya or Bakugo, the moments she does take the spotlight often leave fans stunned. Whether it’s with her intelligence, compassion, or quiet resolve, Yaoyorozu has more than earned her place among the top heroes-in-training.

Here are 10 unforgettable Momo moments in My Hero Academia that left fans cheering, crying, or just plain speechless.


List of Yaoyorozu Momo moments in My Hero Academia

1) Building a speaker counterattack

In the second phase of the license exam, Momo’s group in My Hero Academia was ambushed by Saiko Intelli’s elite team. Trapped in a sealed building with lowered temperatures (to weaken Tsuyu), things looked grim—until Momo put her tactical mind to work.

She built a giant stereo system and headphones for Jiro, amplifying her sound-based Quirk. The plan devastated their opponents. This moment in My Hero Academia didn’t just demonstrate Momo’s intelligence—it showcased her ability to work with her teammates’ strengths and adapt under pressure. It was a masterclass in battlefield thinking.


2) Creating gas masks to save her classmates

When the League of Villains in My Hero Academia launched a surprise attack on the forest training camp, Momo once again proved her worth. She teamed up with students from Class 1-B and realized that Mustard’s gas-based Quirk was suffocating everyone.

Without hesitation, she created gas masks to protect her team. The moment was another reminder of how fast-thinking and resourceful she is under duress. In a fight where panic was everywhere, Momo was the calm in the storm.


3) Her unapologetic studiousness

Momo doesn’t just love learning—she lives for it. From her overly enthusiastic group study proposal during the school festival planning (Season 4, Episode 81) to her delight at hosting study sessions in her palatial mansion (Season 2, Episode 35), Momo’s nerdy side is nothing short of heartwarming.

Her giddy reaction to tutoring, complete with talk of tea brands and “preparing the great hall,” was so earnest in My Hero Academia that fans couldn’t help but smile. She makes intelligence feel not only admirable but also fun.


4) Battling Aizawa with Todoroki

This moment in My Hero Academia was Momo’s real comeback after her confidence hit rock bottom. Paired with Todoroki in a training exam against Aizawa, Momo initially deferred to him, doubting her own ability. But when Todoroki reminded her that he trusted her judgment, something shifted.

Momo crafted a flawless plan, building a catapult, using distraction tactics, and even creating a replica of Aizawa’s own binding scarf. The moment she captured their teacher felt like a massive payoff, not just for her skill, but for her personal growth. Fans were stunned not by her power, but by her mind.


5) Fashion show and the shopping excuse

When Class 1-A needed disguises to rescue Bakugo in My Hero Academia, Momo had the perfect solution: a shopping trip. Sure, she could have created clothes using her Quirk—but she really just wanted to go shopping.

Caught off guard by Kirishima’s logical suggestion to use her ability, she stammered out adorable excuses about supporting local businesses. This hilarious moment showed a more relatable, human side of Momo. Even straight-laced top students want a little retail therapy now and then.


6) Her emotional growth

During their final exam against Aizawa, Momo’s dynamic with Todoroki in My Hero Academia evolved in beautiful ways. At first, she deferred to his judgment, still struggling with insecurity. But Todoroki—recognizing her strength—insisted she lead.

As she ran around creating Russian nesting dolls (perhaps from nerves), fans watched as Momo slowly regained her footing. She trusted herself, took charge, and executed the plan with near-perfect timing. This wasn’t just about defeating a teacher—it was about reclaiming her self-worth.


7) Creating I-Beams to save people

During the Provisional Hero License Exam, aspiring heroes had to perform mock rescues in a simulated disaster zone. While many students rushed in blindly, Momo assessed the crumbling architecture and realized that the trapped victims could be crushed at any moment.

Instead of brute force, she chose precision. Using her Creation Quirk, she made steel I-beams to support the unstable debris, working with Sero to hold everything in place. Fans were amazed—not just by her ability to stay calm under pressure, but by how she prioritized rescue over combat. That’s heroism in its purest form in My Hero Academia.


8) Her room reveal in My Hero Academia

One of Momo’s most hilarious (and adorable) moments in My Hero Academia came when Class 1-A moved into the U.A. dorms. Each student gave a tour of their room, and fans eagerly anticipated Momo’s. But what they didn’t expect was how hilariously overstuffed it was.

“My room’s… a little more cramped than I intended,” she said sheepishly, surrounded by lavish furniture and elegant décor. It was a moment that revealed her privileged upbringing without making her snobbish—she was just being Momo, unintentionally charming in her obliviousness.


9) Her first Major battle at USJ

Back when villains first invaded the Unforeseen Simulation Joint (USJ) in My Hero Academia, Momo didn’t freeze up. Paired with Kyoka Jiro and Denki Kaminari, she immediately devised a plan to use a tarp to protect herself and Jiro from Kaminari’s electricity.

This was one of the earliest demonstrations of her battlefield intelligence. She didn’t rely on raw strength or flashy attacks—instead, she used logic and her Quirk in tandem, proving even early on that she was one of the smartest in her class. It was a small moment, but for fans paying attention, it was a signal of the amazing strategist she would become.


10) Searching for the Nomu using her tracking device

When Bakugo was kidnapped by the League of Villains in My Hero Academia, most of Class 1-A were powerless to help. But Momo did something few others could: she stayed calm and thought tactically.

She created a tracking device and had it stealthily attached to a retreating Nomu. Thanks to her, the rescue team had a real lead on where Bakugo was taken. It was a subtle moment, but incredibly powerful—Momo took the initiative, and in doing so, arguably saved a classmate’s life.
