Hero costume breakdown: Endeavour
Hi, it’s 2 am and i’m procrastinating, so i’m gonna try and breakdown the functionality and possible inner workings of Endeavour’s costume. Maybe i’ll do other heroes later.
My first big question is WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE FLAMING BOOTS AND CHEST. Like, I assume his own fire doesn’t hurt him, but other flames probably do. I can’t accept that someone just invented perpetually flaming clothes. But it can’t be his skin there, because there are actual clothes there. So, I imagine the flaming portions of his suit have small holes in them. This would allow him to send his fire through the holes, giving a similar look to his face fire, and explains why the fiery bits of the outfit are sectioned off from the rest of the suit.
Speaking of the rest of the suit, it’s pretty obviously just spandex, albeit EXTREMELY fire-proof spandex. Also, the belt is either just there to hold that supply pouch on his waist, or implies that his suit is trousers+a top, as opposed to one big spandex suit.
Then, there’s his...gauntlets? They don’t look like they could really boost his punching power, so maybe they’re just braces like the ones Deku’s costume has. They could also be like, mini-coolers? But once again I don’t think his fire really has an effect on him, so probably not.
Last point is his boots. I’m not gonna question the fire physics there, but we clearly see him shooting jets of fire from the soles of his feet. So are his boots permeable on the bottom too? Is it just anime logic? Who knows.
All in all, his costume is decently functional, but unless there’s some combat benefit to the leg and chest fire, he’s just fucking showing off.
