Arsenal
Standard Equipment: Hero Outfit: Minoru's hero outfit was made with the purpose of letting him use his Quirk without his grapes sticking to it. Notable Attacks/Techniques:
 * The Grape Face Mask (グレープフェイスマスク):This equipment is a simple face mask that covers almost all of Minoru's face and leaves the top of his head exposed so that he can grab his grape-like hairs.
 * The Gloves that Pluck (モギモギグローブ): This equipment were made using the special substance that exudes from Minoru's scalp, this was to prevent his grapes from sticking to them. However, this is only for the palms of the gloves.
 * The Grape Pants (グレープパンツ): This equipment was designed to have nubs that look like a pattern were would modeled after his grape-like hair and have almost the same stickiness as them. This was so that he could hold small objects on his person.
 * The Minoru Mantle (ミノルマント): This equipment was originally desired to flutter in the wind. However, the designers decided to make it shorter so that it wouldn't get stuck on his hair.


 * Grape Rush (グレープラッシュ): Minoru rushes towards the enemy and throws many of his sticky objects at the enemy while running toward them, sticking the enemy in place and allowing Minoru to rush past them.


 * Grape Buckler (グレープバックラー): Minoru attaches a number of Pop Off Spheres to a shield, which he can use for defense while simultaneously trapping whatever hits the shield. He first used this technique to block projectiles launched by Twin Impact during the fifth round of the Joint Training Battle.{{


 * {{Nihongo|Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta-Bounce|グレープピンキーコンボ跳峰田|Gurēpu Pinkī Konbo - Hane Mineta}}: After Mina uses Acid Layback to spin on the spot and Minoru lays down a number of Pop Off Spheres on the ground and walls, Mina throws Minoru with great force so that he bounces from sphere to sphere. As he is flying through the air and bouncing off of each sphere, he can throw more Pop Off Spheres from his head onto his opponents while making it difficult to be hit back. They first displayed this technique during the fifth match of the Joint Training Battle.
