High Density Weights
ItemMei Hatsume won a design contest, and her prize was watching the U.A. faculty hobble themselves with her invention. Compacted into a size that straps to a limb, each weight piles on roughly half its wearer's body mass, bleeding away speed and stamina.
Overview
These weights come from Mei Hatsume, whose design took first place in a competition held to source them. Extreme compaction is the trick that makes them practical, since it shrinks them to something a person can strap around an arm or a leg without difficulty.
Function
Roughly half of the wearer's own body weight is what a single unit adds. The effect is deliberately punishing: whoever wears them moves slower and tires faster.
U.A.'s teachers put them on for the First Term Final Exam, handicapping themselves so their students had a fighting chance in the matchups.
