My Hero Academia is a well-known anime about young heroes learning to fight. Many fans wonder about Yaoyorozu Momo, one of the best students in Class 1-A. Yes, Yaoyorozu Momo is still alive and active in the show. She’s still fighting with her friends and is a significant part of the series.

Momo from My Hero Academia has the quirk Creation. This quirk allows her to create anything non-living as long as she understands the structure of the molecules involved. It uses her own fat cells to construct the object, meaning the more she stores up her fat cells, the more choices she has for building materials.

She has demonstrated excellent leadership and thinking on her feet throughout the series. Smart, bold, and always ready to help her friends, she is intelligent and brave. Her classmates and teachers respect her a lot.

While Momo does not always get the most screen time, her moments often show how useful being brilliant can be in a fight. Even though she faces challenges, she keeps pushing forward.

Yaoyorozu Momo has many big moments in My Hero Academia. She had the first position in the Quirk Apprehension Test. In the U.S.J. Arc, she quickly made an insulated blanket using her Quirk. This protected Jiro and herself so Kaminari could attack the villains at full power.

After her battle against Fumikage Tokoyami, where she lost overwhelmingly, her confidence took a big hit, but she has grown a lot. She proved herself during the battle against villains and when helping her classmates in tough missions. She may not be the strongest offensive fighter, but her intelligence makes her one of the most dependable members of Class-1A.

Later, in My Hero Academia, Yaoyorozu Momo joins major battles with the League of Villains. She is useful when the heroes battle the villain Gigantomachia. During this battle, she helps lead a plan to stop the massive villain by using her Quirk to create sedatives. Her leadership is crucial here, showing how far she has come since the start of the series.

In the Final War arc, the U.A. High Sky Fortress could not have survived without her. Shigaraki's decay kept destroying parts of it, but alongside Mai Hatsume, they kept it together. Momo used her quirk to create the parts needed to fix the damaged fortress. She also provided weapons and armor for Mei and herself when Twice's Doubles started attacking.
