Hero Costume Contest
CharacterThe Hero Costume Contest is a fashion competition open to registered heroes of every class, in which a panel of style experts grades each entrant's outfit. Contestants receive numbered entries and are scored out of ten points by each judge, turning heroism briefly into a runway spectacle.
Overview
Any hero on the registry, whatever their class, may sign up to have their costume weighed by a panel of judges. The inaugural edition of the event drew eighteen entrants and seated three judges, each of whom rated a given outfit on a ten-point scale.
Format
Every participant is assigned an entry number and appraised by the judges, with points awarded out of ten apiece. Torajirou presided over the first contest as head judge, joined by the fashion figures Cleyopatra and Natalie Ver. 9, while an unnamed hostess emceed the proceedings. According to the entrant Dynamite Man, only C-Class and B-Class heroes took part, a claim complicated by Chain'n'toad competing as number sixteen, which implies he had not yet climbed to A-Class at the time.
Notable Participants
Among the recorded entrants were Darkness Blade opening the show at number one with sixteen points, Double Hole at three, Reclusamurai at seven, Gasmask Cowboy at fifteen, Chain'n'toad at sixteen, and Studless at seventeen, with Ecolo G and Dynamite Man competing at unlisted numbers. Saitama took the stage last as entry eighteen and drew eight points for a look the hostess called a daring gamble, though the tally was cut short when the monster TurtleBerus crashed into the venue and halted the event.
