Gigantomachia is in another category when it comes to size and strength.
It’s not even comparable.
We’ve been building out our My Hero Academia Inspired Workout Routines for a while now, and this week we’re on a roll with the villains we’re seeing to prep for our most popular MHA list.
We recently saw our Top Ranked Pro Heroes in My Hero Academia, but the villains are a must if we want to really spread it out with the very best this time around.
Plus, it even levels up our Anime Workouts Database by bringing in all these villains considering our SHJ Army tends to request the heroes!
Gigantomachia Stats:
Real Name: Gigantomachia
Height: Varies; Up to 85 Feet
Weight: N/A
Anime: My Hero Academia
Powers: Yes
Gigantomachia is easily the biggest character we’ve ever seen at SHJ.
And it’s not even close…
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Gigantomachia Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Gigantomachia Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
To start us off, here’s what Gigantomachia’s Wiki Fandom has to tell us about him:
Gigantomachia is a Villain associated with the League of Villains. He is one of All For One’s faithful servants and his former bodyguard, cultivated to be of use to Tomura Shigaraki if anything were to happen to him.
When the League of Villains merged with the Meta Liberation Army to become the Paranormal Liberation Front, he became part of the organization.
We know all about All For One, and have even seen a workout inspire by him!
I’m also sure it’s not the last we’ll be seeing of him…at least at SHJ…
As for Gigantomachia’s powers and abilities, his Wiki Fandom starts off by telling us this:
Overall Abilities: Gigantomachia is an incredibly powerful force, serving as All For One’s personal bodyguard for years even before being modified with multiple Quirks. During a brief encounter with Gran Torino and several police officers, the behemoth forced the veteran hero to retreat while leaving a massive cavity in the side of a mountain. Come winter, Gigantomachia was able to take on the combined forces of the League of Villains’ six remaining members (Tomura Shigaraki, Dabi, Himiko Toga, Spinner, Twice and Mr. Compress) with ease and defeat them repeatedly. Even after battling him nonstop for a month, half of the League made little progress towards defeating Gigantomachia. In Tomura’s own terms, Gigantomachia possesses “too much HP” which the behemoth villain abuses to exhaust his opponents into submission. Gigantomachia’s body is extremely resilient, being able to manage the incredible strain of holding multiple quirks even without having his body modified, being one of the few people in the world capable of this.
They also list his powers to be:
- Immense Strength
- Immense Speed
- Immense Durability
- Immense Stamina
- Enhanced Senses
- Size Enhancement
But I’m sure you already knew we’d be building our training revolving around strength and size!
His Wiki Fandom also tells us more about his Quirk(s):
According to Kyudai Garaki, Gigantomachia has been modified with several Quirks that allow him to act as the perfect bodyguard. These Quirks include:
- Endurance: Gigantomachia’s original Quirk allows him to convert his morale into physical energy and stamina.
- Pain Blocking: Gigantomachia’s second Quirk makes him unable to detect any pain.
- Gigantification: Gigantomachia’s third Quirk allows the bones in his body, such as his fingers and teeth, to grow to exponential lengths when agitated to increase his defense and attack power. This also causes them to jut out of his flesh unnaturally. Another incarnation of this Quirk is used by Mt. Lady.
- Dog: Gigantomachia’s fourth Quirk provides him with a keen sense of smell and sight, similar to that of a dog’s. Another incarnation of this Quirk is used by Hound Dog.
- Energy Efficiency: Gigantomachia’s fifth Quirk allows his body to be able to conserve nutrients and water, allowing him to process without much sleep.
- Tough Muscle: Gigantomachia’s sixth Quirk allows his muscles to harden to exceptional levels.
- Mole: Gigantomachia’s seventh Quirk allows him to grow mole-like claws from his fingers to help him dig through the Earth, as well as tear through obstacles, such as buildings.
