Pankration[1] is a Greek Pro Hero in My Hero Academia: Two Heroes.
Appearance#
Pankration is an adult man with long, blond hair that grows downward along with a tall, well-built figure and muscular arms.
Pankration's hero costume consists of a red sleeveless breastplate with a white chiton-like garment looped around his shoulders and neck, which is belted at the waist, and falls below like a skirt that stretches to his knees, and his arms sport big metallic vambraces with a frilled hem. He also wears what appears to be a thin silver circlet around his forehead. He also wears a pair of greaves and sandals. Overall, Pankration's hero costume evokes an “Ancient Greek” aesthetic, fitting with his Olympic theme and character inspiration.
