One of the most striking elements of the artwork is how it features all the students of Class 1-A while also donning some iconic Halloween costumes. The best examples can be Shoto Todoroki as a vampire, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya as Frankenstein, Mina Ashido as a devil, or Momo Yaoyorozu as a nurse.

There are also other examples, such as Katsuki Bakugo as a werewolf, fitting with his rash and intense personality, and Fumikage Tokoyami as the mummy. This could work as a representation of his somber behavior. Moreover, the artist managed to add their own imprint to the piece while also retaining the key artistic elements that have defined author Kohei Horikoshi's style.
