I-Island Inhabitants

Melissa Shield

Voiced by: Mirai Shida (Japanese), Erica Mendez (English), Ivett Toriz (Latin American Spanish)

Debut: There's Always Someone Out There Who's Someone Else's Hero (Manga), My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Film)

Quirkless

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melissa_sheild.png

"I want to become a person who can create support items to help heroes like Mister Might! Perhaps I, too, can become someone's hero someday."

A Quirkless girl introduced in My Hero Academia: Two Heroes. She's David Shield's daughter who wishes to follow in her father's footsteps.

She also starred in her own spin-off manga chapter called There's Always Someone Out There Who's Someone Else's Hero and made a short appearance in Episode 58 of the anime, and shows up in ''My Hero Academia: Team Up Mission'

A Day in the Limelight: There's Always Someone Out There Who's Someone Else's Hero, which focuses on her learning she is Quirkless and meeting All Might.
Affectionate Nickname: "Uncle Might" for All Might.
Badass Normal: Relatively speaking, and in comparison to other Quirkless characters. She doesn't get or awaken any Quirk of her own. She doesn't even have Super-Intelligence like Principal Nezumi. But she does create a set of Powered Armor that can stand up against the likes of All for One, and she does this completely without any enhanced attribute, emphasizing her normalcy.
Bespectacled Cutie: Normally wears a pair of glasses, and is cute enough to make Kaminari and Mineta go crazy for her. Subverted in her formal attire - she wears a dress, adds lipstick and removes her glasses - presumably opting for contacts.
Calling the Old Man Out: When she realizes that her father was behind the villain attack on I-Island, she calls him out on it, saying that Midoriya and his classmates are risking their lives to save everyone. To emphasize her point, she rips off her bandages, revealing an injury she received while protecting Midoriya.
The Cameo: In episode 58 of the anime, where she invites All Might to I-Island, setting up the movie. And in chapter 384, appearing briefly along with some other movie only characters.
Establishing Character Moment: She's introduced when she rides her pogo stick into All Might's arms, showing how close they are before converting her pogo stick into an item the size of a flip phone, demonstrating that she's a Gadgeteer Genius.
First-Name Basis: She asks the U.A. students to call her "Melissa," and also calls Ochaco by her given name.
Foil:
- Melissa is one for Izuku. Both of them were born Quirkless and were devastated upon hearing the news. Izuku was tormented endlessly by his peers for his Quirklessness, causing him to try and become a Hero even without the benefit of one until he received One For All later in life. By contrast, Melissa met All Might at an early age, who assured her that she would be able to help people just as much as any Hero by offering support through her inventions like her father David. Because of this, she was inspired to become a support item designer in hopes of helping Heroes save even more people.
- In Team Up Missions, her style is contrasted against Hatsume's, in that Melissa prefers to stick with the wishes of the hero she is supporting while Hatsume is mostly interesting in the support items conforming to whatever wacky idea she has for them.
Gadgeteer Genius: Since she's one of the minority that doesn't have a Quirk, she focuses on inventing support items for heroes like her father does. Her equipment seems to be vastly more advanced than even Mei's, compressing pogo sticks into a tiny device the size of an earpiece that can be activated and deactivated with a push fo a button. Her Full Gauntlet allows Izuku to use 30% of One For All without repercussions and even fire off three full power Detroit Smashes without injuring himself before it's destroyed.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blonde-haired and a kind, outgoing girl who wants to do nothing but develop inventions that can help the Heroes she admires save even more people.
Losing a Shoe in the Struggle: Due to climbing the tower in a hurry once the villains take it over, she ultimately removes her high heels to move faster and remains barefoot for the remainder of the movie.
Missing Mom: Curiously, no scenes from trailers have shown her mother. In the movie, you do get a glimpse of her mother in the array of picture frames in Melissa’s office. Since her mom is never mentioned and her only photo with Melissa is holding her as a newborn, it’s likely things ended tragically for the Shields.
Nice Girl: A kindhearted idealist who uses the power of science to help heroes make the world a better place.
No Sense of Personal Space: She gets really close to Izuku while examining his costume, much to his discomfort.
Phenotype Stereotype: She's from America, has blond hair, aqua green eyes, and is taller than the Japanese cast. Izuku initially mistakes her for being actually related to All Might when they first meet.
She Cleans Up Nicely: Granted she is by no means ugly in her civilian wear. But looks like a totally different person when dressed for the gala event.
Small Role, Big Impact: In the main series itself, she has almost no presence except for a few mentions, but she builds a suit of Powered Armor and support items for All Might that allow him to fight All For One long after he's lost the last embers of One For All.
Statuesque Stunner: Whenever she's beside Izuku, you can clearly see how much taller than him, and most of the Japanese students, she is. Oddly some sources mention her height to be 169 cm, while it's more likely to be 179 (like Iida).
Super Costume Clothier: Though Melissa is Quirkless she's a brilliant engineer and she follow in her father's footsteps when comes to building gadgets, costumes and items for heroes.
Teen Genius: She's only 17, but she's already designing support items and has even won several awards for her work. However, she mentions that her grades weren't the best and she's had to work hard to get better.
The Team Normal: Joins up with the Class 1-A group for their mission to take down the villains controlling I-Island, mainly because she knows how to fix the hacked security system.
Un-Sorcerer: Like Izuku, Melissa is one of the unlucky 20 percent of people to be born without a Quirk. She more than make up for her Quirkless status by designing a Powered Armor platform able to replicate the functionality of multiple Quirks, and can even stand up against All for One.
Younger Than They Look: She looks like she is in her early twenties, but she tells Midoriya early on she's only seventeen years old. A bit surprising considering how she looks.

David Shield

Voiced by: Katsuhisa Nakase (Japanese), Ryōhei Kimura (Japanese, young), Ray Chase (English), José Arenas (Latin American Spanish)

Debut: There's Always Someone Out There Who's Someone Else's Hero (Manga), My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Film)

Quirk: Squirmy Fingers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/david_shield.png

Melissa's father, a scientist who creates support items for heroes. He's All Might's best friend and the one who made his signature Golden Age costume. Episode 58 (the tie-in episode for the film) reveals that he was actually All Might's first sidekick when he started his career in the USA.

Affectionate Nickname: He calls All Might "Toshi", while All Might calls him "Dave".
Brainy Brunette: He's a brilliant scientist and a brunette.
Gadgeteer Genius: His scientific pursuits revolve around inventing support items for heroes. He has earned a Nobel Prize for his work and his uniforms are the only costumes able to withstand All Might's strength. His other inventions include a powerful Formula One-style car that can keep up with All Might and turn into a rocket jet, bubble-producing liquids that can easily nullify explosions, and a powerful Quirk Amplifier that can give someone enough power to challenge All Might.
Irony: All Might never told him about One For All, which he was slowly losing access to because he passed it to Midoriya, because he didn't want David's life to be at risk. He created his device to amplify All Might and return him to his former glory. The entire plot of the film and David nearly dying, could've been avoided had All Might actually spilled the beans as to why he was getting weaker.
Late for School: Implied in the opening of the film, where he and All Might are on their way to a lecture when All Might stops them to foil a bank robbery and a crime at the airport.
I Was Quite the Looker: Downplayed since he's not exactly hard on the eyes now that he's older, but he was significantly more handsome during his hero days.
My God, What Have I Done?: Dave does this when he realizes that his actions put everyone on I-Island at risk and effectively made him a villain.
Omnidisciplinary Scientist: He's focused on researching Quirk Theory and support items for heroes, but that doesn't stop him from creating jet fighters that can operate underwater, headsets that can help people see in all directions at once, diving suits that can withstand intense deep sea pressure, among other things. Somewhat subverted in the fact that his daughter implies in a conversation with Deku that all that technology was based off his research, not created by him directly.
Science Hero: During his time as All Might's sidekick, David compensates for his borderline useless Quirk with a myriad of gadgets he designed himself, including a Cool Car, a bubble machine that can completely nullify the missiles from a rocket launcher, and All Might's costume.
Super Costume Clothier: All-Might's costume was created by David Shield who then went on to found the words biggest super hero gadget and costume company, as his squiggly fingers Quirk lets him turn his fingers in any direction and much more precisely than the average person so he can manipulate small objects like electronics very precisely to make gadgets and costume options.
Taking the Bullet: He jumps in the way of a bullet Wolfram intended to end Sam's life with.
Weak, but Skilled: He was All Might's sidekick. And he was apparently in the field with his friend, rather than Mission Control, to boot, despite being a scientist, and despite his Quirk being, well, just being able to bend his fingers more than other people.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: It turns out that he's the one who set up the terrorist attack on I-Island, since he wanted to take back his Quirk Amplifier so he could restore All Might's powers again. Unfortunately, the people he hired to stage the attack really were criminals, and they take his invention for themselves.
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: His Quirk is "Squirmy Fingers" which allow him to contort his fingers slightly more than a normal person's. Aside from increased dexterity, which he uses in his work, it's functionally useless. He tries to use this to assure Melissa that it was alright to be Quirkless because his Quirk was rather lame anyways.

Samuel "Sam" Abraham

Voiced by: Mitsuru Ogata (Japanese), Barry Yandell (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Film)

Quirk: Unknown

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_513.png

David Shield's assistant, who usually just goes by Sam.

All for Nothing: What he felt the time and effort he spent working on the Quirk Amplifier became when the research was frozen.
Et Tu, Brute?: Sam planned to give the Quirk Amplifier to Wolfram because he was mad at David for letting it be confiscated in the first place. Wolfram repays him accordingly.
Fat Bastard: Downplayed. He wanted to give David's invention away because he was mad at him, but he's otherwise a nice enough guy.
My God, What Have I Done?: He is last seen frozen in shock and horror at David Taking the Bullet for him, even after his treachery, indicating a Heel Realization.
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: He and David set up the terrorist attack on I-Island to take back their Quirk Amplifier invention to restore All Might's powers again... except in his case, he only wanted it so he could sell it to get back at David.
Only in It for the Money: Initially not the case as he worked to make the world a better place, but after his and David's research was frozen, he resolved to steal and sell the device so that he would at least get some money for all the time and effort put into it.
Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Wolfram shoots Sam, who not only betrayed I-Island, but also David, as soon as he has the Quirk Amplifier. In a twist, Sam isn't killed as far the audience is shown.
Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Is almost completely absent from trailers and other promotional material despite being a rather important character in the film.

Island Terrorists

Wolfram

Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama (Japanese), Keith Silverstein (English), Gerardo Vásquez (Latin American Spanish)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Film)

Quirk: Metal Manipulation, Muscle Augmentation

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolfram.png

The main antagonist of My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, who invades and takes over I-Island. His Quirk allows him to manipulate metal.

Badass Longcoat: He's a formidable villain and wears a long white trenchcoat.
Big Bad: Although David was the one who planned the I-Island incident, Wolfram turns out to be secretly manipulating events for his own benefit, and he ends up being the final adversary of the film.
Combat Pragmatist: Part of what makes him so deadly is that he does not mess around at all, using whatever means he can to win. This includes pulling a gun out mid-flight, something rarely seen in the series at all. When he first fights Midoriya, he blindsides him with a barrage of attacks before the boy can even counter, allowing him to get away.
Extra-ore-dinary: His Quirk allows him to manipulate metal. He can create walls to block his opponents' path, strike them with metallic poles emerging from the ground, and with the help of David's Quirk Amplifier, surround himself with a near-indestructible metal fortress and throw around enormous metal cubes, one of which is big enough to crush the entire tower the fight takes place on.
Evil Sounds Deep: Averted, he normally speaks with a raspy voice. But after using the Quirk Amplifier on himself, his voice becomes progressively deeper and more distorted until he goes full-on Voice of the Legion.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has jagged scars across his eye and the lower half of his face that cement his villainous appearance.
Meaningful Name: Wolfram is the German name for tungsten, a type of metal. Wolfram happens to have a metal bending Quirk.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: While he does gloat a little, he's not one to lose track of his objective after he incapacitates those after him. And if fought directly, he always tries to go in for the kill.
Oh, Crap!: Gets this when Deku and All Might burst through his defenses and are about to hit him with the full brunt of their powers. He makes a futile attempt to cover himself in metal but they break through it, knock him out and destroy the amplifier in the process.
Only in It for the Money: He's no actor, he's a real Arms Dealer, as David and Sam found out the hard way.
One-Winged Angel: During the Final Battle, he dons the Quirk Amplifier, and becomes powerful enough to create a giant, coiling mass of metal that makes him look like a borderline Eldritch Abomination. The power boost is so great, in fact, that he thinks twice about selling the device, and decides to keep it for himself.
Quantity vs. Quality: Compared to Nine's crew his group has more members and can cover more ground, but most are just Mooks with a few Elite Mooks thrown in who only pose a minor threat.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to David, saying that after everything David did, he's just another criminal with no future in the world of science.
Super-Strength: Though his Quirk involves metal, he was also gifted with a Muscle Augmentation Quirk by All For One. When combined with the Quirk Amplifier, he's strong enough to choke the likes of All Might.
Why Won't You Die?: In the final battle, he becomes frustrated that Deku and All Might won't stay down despite the Quirk Amplifier boosting his powers, leading to him to yell at them to be crushed already.
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Subverted. While he makes extensive use of his Metal Manipulation Quirk to great effect, he's also just as happy to shoot someone who's in a vulnerable position, and if the first shot doesn't kill, he'll just fire another one.

Swordkil

Voiced by: Adam Gibbs (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Film)

Quirk: Unnamed Sword Quirk

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sword_hand.png

One of the terrorists who invaded I-Island with Wolfram. His Quirk allows him to transform his arms into blades.

Bond Villain Stupidity: Opts to gloat at Melissa while she's knocked down instead of finishing off Midoriya, a hero-in-training, who was at his mercy.
Blade Below the Shoulder: He can transform his arms into blades.
Curb-Stomp Battle: While he manages to ambush and nearly knock Deku out of the building, he lets his guard down too easily and is ultimately taken out in a single punch from Deku.
Evil Gloating: Starts to throw some at Melissa after he knocks her down, but Midoriya stops him before he can get anything meaningful out.
Punched Across the Room: When Deku manages to get a hit in on him, he's sent flying straight into a stairwell and out of the movie.
Would Hit a Girl: He cuts Melissa on her arm, and the only reason she didn't get a wore injury was that her intervention allowed Deku time to climb back up and take Swordkil down.

Debut: My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Film)

Quirk: Unnamed Displacement Quirk

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nobu_4.jpg

One of the terrorists who invaded I-Island with Wolfram. His Quirk allows him to fire blasts of air that displace the things they hit into his hands.

Elite Mooks: He's more dangerous than other Wolfram's henchmen, but he's still dealt with quickly.

Lean and Mean: A tall and lanky villain to contrast Daigo being The Napoleon
Teleportation: A variant. His Quirk allows him to displace matter into his hands via air blasts.
True Companions: Implied with Daigo. When Bakugo knocks Daigo out, Nobu is shown to be very upset.
Unique Enemy: Compared to Wolfram's other Elite Mooks, who only have simple blade and strength Quirks, Nobu has a rather unique powerset that's the first of its kind in the series.

Unexplained Recovery: He and an unnamed helicopter pilot manage to survive a helicopter exploding without a scratch on them. Wolfram did as well, but he had the Quirk Amplifier and a Muscle Augmenting Quirk to help protect him, while the hacker and pilot had nothing to protect them.

Sir Swears-a-Lot: The rocket brother has quite the mouth on him.

Little Bit Beastly: Cow Lady has cow ears and horns.
Shock and Awe: Elec Plant's Quirk lets him fire off electric blasts, like Kaminari can.

My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising Characters

The Shimano Siblings

In General

Mahoro and Katsuma Shimano

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahoro_and_katsuma_full_designs.png

Mahoro on the left and Katsuma on the right

A pair of siblings who live on Nabu Island and befriend Bakugo and Midoriya.

The Cameo: The siblings along with other movie only characters appear briefly in chapter 384 and again in chapter 405, cheering for Bakugo.
Coordinated Clothes: They both wear color-coordinated sunhats, overalls, and sandals. They are a pair of young siblings who strongly resemble each other.
Minor Living Alone: A pair of young children who live by themselves, since they lost their mother and their father works on the mainland. It helps that they live in a very tightly-knit and isolated community, so the neighbors also look out for them.
Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Their outfits. Mahoro wears pink, her brother Katsuma wears blue.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Mahoro's outgoing and assertive personality contrasts with Katsuma's shyness.
Strong Family Resemblance: The duo strongly resemble each other; they have the same face shape, hair, and eye color, the same Youthful Freckles, similar eye shapes, and Coordinated Clothes.
Youthful Freckles: They are the youngest characters in the film and fittingly have a dusting of freckles over their nose.

Mahoro Shimano

Voiced by: Tomoyo Kurosawa (Japanese), Dani Chambers (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising (Film)

Quirk: Hologram

The older Shimano sibling, a headstrong young girl with a mild distrust of heroes. Her Quirk, "Hologram", allows her to create realistic looking holograms of whatever she wishes.

Big Sister Instinct: She is very protective of Katsuma, and discourages him from becoming a hero because she think it's too dangerous for him.
Bratty Half-Pint: She first appears yelling at Deku for taking an hour to find Katsuma.
Crying Wolf: She fakes a villain attack to try and prove to her brother that the heroes are too chicken to do anything about it. It comes back to bite her when Nine and his crew arrive the next day and Bakugo doesn't believe her distress call. Downplayed overall, however, as Midoriya believes her instantly and rushes to her aid.
Distaff Counterpart: To Kota Izumi, being a little kid who's not too fond of heroes at first, but eventually comes around after being saved.
Girlish Pigtails: Mahoro is a young girl with two pigtails.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's a little bit sassy and rude towards the 1-A Hero students at first, but even then, her heart is in the right place. She's especially caring towards her little brother.
Master of Illusion: Her Quirk lets her project illusions. They can be rather large (such as a giant monster, or a figure of Deku big enough to be seen from miles away), but can be identified by their lack of shadow.
Tsurime Eyes: Her eyes and eyebrows are slanted upwards to visually indicate her assertive and outgoing personality. Contrast Katsuma's eyes and eyebrows; although they are similar in shape, they are flatter and make him look more timid.

Katsuma Shimano

Voiced by: Yuka Terasaki (Japanese), Maxey Whitehead (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising (Film)

Quirk: Cell Activation

The younger Shimano sibling, a timid young boy who has a great love of heroes, much like Midoriya. His Quirk, "Cell Activation", allows him to heal others by activating their cells.

Healing Factor: It's implied that his Cell Activation Quirk heals him as well, since this is what Nine briefly experienced after he stole Katsuma's father's Quirk.
Healing Hands: His Cell Activation allows him to speed up the activity of cells in the body of those he touches to heal their wounds and improve their physical performance.
Heart Is an Awesome Power: Twofold. He's initially dismissive of his quirk and states that it's not suited to hero work, but it's actually quite powerful, vital to the heroes' victory, and if it could be applied to himself would make him a powerful physical combatant. It isn't however that powerful or unique... except for it being a perfect counter for Nine's Blessed with Suck, which would essentially make him near unstoppable.
Hero-Worshipper: Despite his shy nature, Katsuma admires heroes greatly. He wears a pin of the pro hero Edgeshot.
Nice Guy: Katsuma is tender, compassionate and humble.
Shrinking Violet: Katsuma is a very timid child, and always stays by his sister's side.
Superior Successor: He and his father both possess the "Cell Activation" Quirk, but while his father's only works on people with Type A blood, Katsuma's works on people with Type O, A, and B blood.
Take Me Instead: Despite his obvious terror, Katsuma does this twice after learning what Nine's intentions are: he offers to turn himself in after the initial attack to keep the 1-A students and the island's inhabitants from getting hurt; and when Nine threatens Mahoro's life in the climax, Katsuma then runs towards him to fulfill his demand.

Nine and His Crew

Nine

Voiced by: Yoshio Inoue (Japanese), Johnny Yong Bosch (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising (Film), Chapter 222 (Manga)

Quirk: Weather Manipulation, All For One (Artificial Duplicate)^* (Bullet Laser, Air Wall, Hydra, Scanning, Cell Activation)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nine_full_body_profile.png

"The strong will lord over the weak in my utopia. Labels like "Hero" and "Villain" won't be necessary. Power will be the only factor that matters! That's how a true superhuman society should be structured!"

The main antagonist of My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising, a sinister villain who operates behind the scenes and boasts overwhelming strength.

His original Quirk is Weather Manipulation, which allows him to control the weather.

A Day in the Limelight: League of Villains: UNDERCOVER, a bonus manga chapter that details his how his philosophy came to be and how he ended up partnering up with the Doctor.
Aura Vision: He can identify people's Quirks as glowing auras and even measure their strength to some degree and even identify their Quirks to some degree; shown when he detects Deku's deliberate power-boost and when he identifies Katsuma's Cell Activation Quirk by noting he glows more brightly than his sister. He also apparently recognized her illusion Quirk just by looking at her.
Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Only after his crew is promptly defeated, Nine decides to take the matter on his own hands and take Katsuma's Quirk by himself.
Barrier Warrior: One of his stolen Quirks lets him create circular shields of compressed air, which he can layer for greater protection.
Big Bad: Of My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising.
Blessed with Suck: His power over the weather is described by the Doctor to be "god-like", a sentiment that Nine's crew shares. Unfortunately, his body is unable to handle it properly due to his illness, which is why he sought out the Doctor for help.
Blow You Away: He can use his air shields to create powerful blasts of air.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Wolfram from the previous movie. Wolfram was a mercenary with no motivation beyond his own profit, while Nine is an idealist with a specific goal. Both Wolfram and Nine also sought to increase their power artificially, but where Wolfram was after a tool to amplify his original Quirk, Nine seeks to gain entirely new Quirks.
Creepy Monotone: In Japanese, he speaks with a soft, lethargic tone of voice that emphasizes his malice.
Dark and Troubled Past: League of Villains: UNDERCOVER fleshes out more of his motives, with it heavily implied that despite his Quirk's power, he grew up in a destitute environment that had living in the streets. Thus, driving his desire to create a world where people like him and his crew thrive.
Defiant to the End: Even after the severe backlash of his own power and the beating he sustained from Midoriya and Bakugo, leaving him battered from head to toe and unable to even stand, his last words are still ones of defiance against Tomura Shigaraki.
Dissonant Serenity: The opening page of his backstory chapter shows him calmly watching a raging storm (that is implied to be of his creation) terrorize a small city. Apparently, storms make him calm.
Early-Bird Cameo: He can be spotted in Chapter 222 of the manga before he was officially introduced in the movie.
Expy: Of Marvel's Apocalypse. Like En Saba Nur, Nine is a powerful metahuman with almost godlike power who possesses a darwinist mindset and aims to create a world where the strong lord over the weak.
Final Exchange: To Tomura Shigaraki after the final battle.
Nine: There can only be... one true ruler!
Tomura Shigaraki: Mm, yes. Only one.
Flawed Prototype: It's implied he's ultimately this for Shigaraki, given he also had a version of All For One's Quirk implanted into him in an experiment, but his is far weaker and combined with his weakness is far more limited.
Hand Blast: One of his Quirks lets him fire lasers from his fingers, which can cut through rock.
Hypocrite: For a man who believes in the rule of the strong, Nine doesn't react very well to losing to Midoriya and Bakugo. Slinking off and trying to regroup with other villains instead of accepting that he was outclassed. Seconds before Shigaraki kills him, Nine starts to rant about how only he should be the ruler and no one else. Apparently his world view doesn't apply to himself.
The Juggernaut: In the climax of the film, Class 1-A does their best to throw everything they have at him, ranging from cannon fire, to rocks, and even their best physical hitters. Despite this, he casually swats them all away, and only ends up having trouble because he overuses his Quirk to such an extent that he starts to lose his cool.
Knight of Cerebus: Nine's arrival in marks a turning point in the story. His Establishing Character Moment revolves around him using his Quirk to destroy an entire city in minutes without a thought of care in the world. From that point on, he is always played as a painfully serious threat, with characters nearly dying whenever they face him.
Made of Iron: While most attacks against him are intercepted by his shields, lasers, and hydras, the ones that do land don't leave a scratch until the final battle.
Meaningful Name: Nine refers to the number of Quirks he can hold through a weaker version of All for One's Quirk. It also contrasts him with Midoriya, the ninth user of One for All.
Never Trust a Trailer: Promotional materials for Heroes: Rising made it clear that he used the name Nine because that's how many Quirks he has and that he plans to acquire a tenth over the course of the film. In the movie itself, he only displays seven Quirks (or at least seven whose effects are obvious), the main reason behind his goal to acquire a "tenth" Quirk (even with the knowledge that he can only hold nine through his version of All for One) is because its a specific Quirk that he thinks could offset the strain his Quirk puts on his body, and he went by Nine even when he had only one Quirk.
Nightmare Face: When reaching out to steal Katsuma's Quirk in the final battle, his expression is very unsettling.
Not Quite Flight: He can "fly" by holding himself up with storm clouds created with his original Quirk.
One-Winged Angel: When pushed to his limit, the tubes on his back explode and take his bodysuit with them, leaving him with Volcanic Veins and flares of energy resembling wings.
Only Known by Their Nickname: He only ever goes by his villain alias, whereas his birth name is never mentioned.
Our Hydras Are Different: The water dragons he summons with one of his Quirks can split in two when attacked, and their appearance hails back to the hydra's original description of an amphibious monster.
Person of Mass Destruction: Though he can't claim all the credit, his fight against Midoriya and Bakugo deals a lot of damage to the surrounding environment.
Physical God: Even with an imperfect copy of All-For-One, Nine is obscenely strong. Once he starts cutting loose, the only person who can touch him is Deku using One-For-All and even then the young hero can only win once he shares it with Bakugo and teams up on him.
Power Degeneration: Using his Quirk causes cell degeneration, gradually killing him with every exertion of power.
Power Parasite: Nine was compatible with All For One's Quirk factor but was given a weaker version of the All For One Quirk. He can hold up to eight Quirks in addition to his original Quirk and All For One, giving him a potential total of nine Quirks at his disposal.
Pragmatic Villainy: Nine doesn't kill unnecessarily. If he wants someone's Quirk, he won't hurt them any more than he has to: once they're powerless, he lets his targets go.
Purple Is Powerful: His bodysuit has noticeable purple highlights and he's shown to generate purple energy orbs at his fingertips. He's also stated to be a very powerful foe, boasting nine Quirks.
Quantity vs. Quality: The quality to All For One's quantity. All For One stockpiles Quirks like they're going out of style and combines numerous weaker ones to create stronger abilities. Nine has only a few Quirks, but each of them is individually as or more powerful than the tricks we've seen AFO pull.
- This also applies to his crew. Compared to Wolfram's group, Nine's crew only consists of three members, but each one is strong enough to pose a challenge to multiple characters at once.
The Social Darwinist: He believes that the way the world works is flawed, as it's one where the "weak rule the strong". He and his crew wish to correct this perceived error, which is why he becomes the Doctor's guinea pig.
Soap Opera Disease: Nine's Quirk makes him suffer from cell degeneration that, according to the Doctor, should have killed him long ago. The Doctor chooses him as a test subject solely because he managed to survive as long as he did, though, even after experimentation, it's still detrimental to his health, which is why he targets Katsuma's "Cell Activation" Quirk.
Summon Magic: One of his Quirks lets him create blue, finned, serpentine creatures, each large enough to crush a car in their jaws.
Super Supremacist: His goal is to create a world where those with strong powers rule over those with weak or no powers.
Superior Successor: Subverted. He's granted a copy of All For One's own Quirk and wields several powerful Quirks, but is ultimately weaker overall. It's implied that this was deliberate and that Nine was never anything more than a lab rat to refine the Doctor's experiments. It's also unknown whether he can transfer Quirks like All For One.
Too Powerful to Live: With his original Weather Manipulation Quirk, plus an artificial copy of All for One and nine other Quirks, Nine was too much of threat to live beyond his introduction, so that's why Shigaraki disposes of him near the end of the movie.
Unskilled, but Strong: His attacks are flashy and powerful, but Nine shows little creativity in their use unless forced to. This allows the heroes to counter his tactics by exploiting his predictability, first when Bakugo gets around his use of air shields in a matter of seconds, and then when Bakugo and Deku plan around his use of lightning as a Finishing Move. He manages to get out of the first because he still had some Quirks held in reserve, but the second blindsides him and essentially costs him the fight.
Useless Superpowers: His Cell Activation Quirk, which he stole from the Shimanos' father. It's a useful power, but it only works on subjects with Type A blood. Nine himself has Type B blood, making it useless for his purposes and leading him to set his sights on Katsuma, whose 'version of the same Quirk can be used on him.
Villainous Breakdown: When Deku and Bakugo share One For All, he is left screaming Why Won't You Die? at them.
Voice of the Legion: When he activates his weather Quirk, his voice becomes a multi-octave bellow.
Weather Manipulation: His original Quirk allows him to do this. It enables him to cause rain, lightning, and tornadoes.
White Hair, Black Heart: He has long white hair and has no compunctions attacking children or ripping away someone's Quirk.

Kiruka Hasaki — Slice

Voiced by: Mio Imada (Japanese), Lydia Mackay (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising (Film), Deku & Bakugo: Rising Chapter 2 (Manga)

Quirk: Slice

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slice_full_design.png

A villain working with Nine. She was betrayed in the past and is unable to trust anyone, though she agrees with Nine’s ideals. Her titular Quirk allows her to use her long hair as a melee weapon or shield, and to launch powerful ranged attacks as well.

Blood Knight: Although her quirk makes her quite dangerous at a distance, she will gleefully engage in close-quarters battle if the opportunity arises. During the finale, she is tricked into a large cavern, where the darkness lets Tokoyami utilize his Dark Shadow quirk at its greatest power... and even here, she fights eagerly, even joyfully, with a display of speed and agility that startles the young UA student.
The Caretaker: Although Slice is just as committed to seeing Nine's vision of a world where the powerful rule and the weak serve come true as the other members of the group, she also seems quite committed to Nine himself. Whenever he is injured, or exhausted to the point of unconsciousness by overusing his quirk, it's Slice who carries him to safety, and who stands vigil at his bedside as he recovers, displaying a much softer and more caring side than most 'villains' are willing to show.
Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. According to the official website, she was betrayed in the past and is now unable to trust other people aside from Nine. A small flashback League of Villains: UNDERCOVER shows her alone, in a heavily disheveled bedroom, with a morose look on her face.
Didn't Think This Through: Although Slice was more than holding her own with Tokoyami, he was able to create a momentary opening for Mina to lauch a surprise acid stream attack at the woman. She reacted instinctively, using her hair to create a hardened shield in the split-second before it would have struck her face... and before she realized that this was not a physical attack. While her hair's ancillery Hardening power would have absorbed a simple blow or cut without strain or harm, the powerful acid bypassed the Hardening entirely, attacking the hair's chemical structure, and within seconds her beautiful mane had literally melted away, leaving her with hair only a few inches long, vastly weakening or outright negating all of her quirk-based abilities.
- Moments later she makes a second mistake when, desperate and on the defensive in the face of Tokoyami's Dark Shadow form going berserk in the wake of Mina's injury, she uses her hair's much-weakened distance attack to bring down the ceiling of the cavern. This does succeed in flooding the space with sunlight, dispelling Dark Shadow, but the shaken woman is unable to get clear as the ceiling collapsed, trapping her along with the two UA students, and leading to her later capture when the pro heroes arrived.
Dark Action Girl: The sole woman in Nine's group, Slice is not only a long-ranged powerhouse, but also a skilled and dangerous close-up fighter who can hold her own even with the powerful Tokoyami.
Distracted by My Own Sexy: Slice very obviously adores her long, beautiful hair, and in most of her scenes she spends at least a few moments caressing it lovingly. Her outraged fury when it is ruined causes her to lash out with all her remaining power, injuring her attacker severely.
Domino Mask: Wears one of these as part of her villain costume.
The Dragon: Seems to be Nine's closest ally.
Evil Redhead: Her long, vibrantly-red hair isn't just attention-grabbing, it's her quirk.
Glass Cannon: Despite her powerful quirk, and her ability to inflict huge amounts of damage at short or long range, she is no more durable physically than a normal woman. In combat, she uses her very impressive agility and gymnastics to dodge and evade attacks that would drop her instantly, and only her speed and skill allow her to match or surpass her opponents in close combat, supported by the ability of her hair to form a protective shield strong enough to stop strong physical attacks (although in the end even her shield is shown to be surprisingly fragile and vulnerable to exotic quirks, as Mina's acid stream is blocked by the woman's quirk-reinforced hair... but it is ruined in the process, dissolved and destroyed, leaving her only a ragged mop a few inches long, barely enough to continue the fight in a much-weakened state).
Improbable Hairstyle: The long loops of her hair seem to hang there, semi-suspended as they run from her head, down and around her sides, and back to the golden clasp at the small of her back. Conveniently, her quirk lets her hold the arrangement in place at all times, else she would likely become tangled in her own hair while just walking around, much less leaping and fighting.
Logical Weakness: Her power is entirely manifested via her long hair. As a result, the more damage done to her hair, the weaker her quirk-based attacks become. Adding to this, since hair grows back, it's an acceptable target for Quirks that could normally never be turned against a person for fear of causing serious harm, like Mina's "Acid". Once Mina ruins her hair, she's left with only Scratch Damage left and ends up going down quickly.
Overshadowed by Awesome: Slice is a skilled, powerful, dangerous woman, and a villainess who would make most heroes outside of the top 10 hesitate to take her on... and yet, compared to her teammates Chimera, and especially Nine, her battle during the finale is just an afterthought, with her matched up against only two of the students, while her teammates are both facing off with small mobs of the rest of the class. In the end, Mina and Dark Shadow succeed in defeating her by forcing her to fight at close quarters, using teamwork to land a critical surprise attack, and admittedly a decent helping of luck, with the cave collapse trapping her after she'd come very close to a last-moment victory.
Prehensile Hair: Her Quirk allows her to telekinetically manipulate her hair in multiple ways, either as simple appendages, as blades or spear-like spikes, as shields, or even as extendable walking legs that let her climb walls or cover ground quickly, a la Marvel's Doctor Octopus.
Required Secondary Powers: Her long-range attack consists of firing strands of her hair at targets (and with so much velocity and force that they function as incredibly powerful kinetic kill weapons). Throughout the movie, she fires off hair strand projectiles at a prodigious rate, often in massive volleys, and yet never shows any sign of running out of hair to shoot, or of thinning out her dense mane in the slightest—so either she can endlessly regenerate her hair as she fires it (much like Minoru Mineta, aka 'Grape Juice' regenerates his 'sticky balls' as fast as he plucks them), or else her power involves creating duplicate strands of hair to serve as the projectiles).
- Likewise, when using her hair as a blade, spear, or shield, she clearly employs some variation of Red Riot's hardening ability to give her hair the requisite hardness and tensile strength to carry out the attack or defense, which can actually be seen in the movie as her hair visibly changes for a few seconds at a time while in attack or defense mode, taking on a smooth sheen similar to objects formed from carbon fiber.
Shout-Out: Her design (long red hair, purple outfit, Domino Mask) and powers (Prehensile Hair) are based off Medusa from Marvel's The Inhumans.
Spike Shooter: She can stiffen her hair and fire individual strands of it at targets... which does not begin to describe the destruction she can cause.
Each individual hair travels with so much speed and force that its passage through the air is marked by an intense red line like a laser, and the strands appear capable (at least while her hair is at full-length and full power) of penetrating several meters of steel and other hardened materials.
When she and the other villains first arrive at the island, she is tasked with removing any easy escape route for the inhabitants. She promptly does so, by launching volleys of strands that wash across the entire harbor, effortlessly destroying both fishing boats and small ocean-going ships within seconds.
During the finale, after most of her hair has been destroyed, leaving her only with a ragged bob cut, she is still able to fire the shortened strands as projectiles, but with much less force, as they are able to injure (but do not destroy) a woman's leg, though she does manage to pelt the ceiling of a large cavern with enough damage to collapse it.
Taking You with Me: After her hair is melted and Tokoyami goes completely berzerk, she is still able to execute one last volley of hair strand projectiles against the ceiling of the cavern, the weakened attack proving just barely strong enough to collapse it and let in a flood of sunlight which dispels Dark Shadow. With both Tokoyami and Mina out of the fight she could have then either killed them or escaped, if not for being caught in the collapse herself and buried along with them, which held her there long enough to be captured by the pro heroes.
Traumatic Haircut: Perhaps inevitably, the villainess whose power derives entirely from her long, long hair eventually sees her glorious, ankle-length mane reduced to a messy, ragged mop that barely reaches her shoulders.
Wolverine Claws: Continuing her theme of stabbing/cutting/slicing, her support items are a pair of gloves which feature retractable metal claws for use in close-quarters melee combat. The blades are delicate, seeming almost fragile, extending from her fingertips in a manner which is suggestive of Femme Fatalons, which also fits into her theme of being a more refined and feminine combatant than her very masculine teammates.

Chojuro Kon — Chimera

Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi (Japanese), Greg Dulcie (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising (Film), Deku & Bakugo: Rising Chapter 2 (Manga)

Quirk: Chimera

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chimera_full_design.png

Another villain who is working with Nine. He faced persecution and discrimination due to his appearance, and thus seeks revenge against society. His titular Quirk gives him the characteristics of various animals.

Attack the Mouth: Todoroki takes him down by shoving his right hand into Chimera's mouth and freezing the villain from the inside.
Beast Man: True to his namesake, his Quirk gives him the characteristics of various animals (dog-like head, bird-like hands, snake-like tail, etc.).
Breath Weapon: He can breathe fire, and when at full power, can fire a large laser beam from his mouth.
The Brute: He's the muscle of the group, shrugging off and overpowering pretty much everything thrown at him with raw power.
Cigar Chomper: Always seen with a cigar.
Combo Platter Powers: His quirk gives him combined traits that he can mix and match at will which at least follows a theme of being animal-based except for his ability to breathe fire. Aside from following the mythology of The Chimera being capable of breathing fire, it's incongruent in the context of his quirk.
Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. According to the official website, he's faced constant persecution and discrimination due to his appearance. A small flashback League of Villains: UNDERCOVER shows him seemingly running for his life.
Evil Sounds Deep: In Japanese, he's given a deep, gruff voice to go with his animalistic appearance.
Harmless Freezing: After Todoroki freezes him from the inside out, he's shown to be fine with the other villains at the end of the movie.
Hypocrite: Is angry at society for mistreating him due to his appearance, but has no issue mocking Shoji for his. Toned down in the English dub, where the line's inflection instead sounds like he's trying to commiserate with him.
Implacable Man: He doesn't have his boss's sheer range of defensive Quirks, but that just makes it all the more notable how little damage he actually takes from some of the class's hardest hitters.
Meaningful Name: His real name contains the kanji for "beast" and "man".
Mundane Utility: Lights his cigar using his fire breath, not even taking it out his mouth when he does it.
One-Winged Angel: After being paralyzed by Tsuyu's toxin, he amps up his monstrous features to break free, developing horns, wings, and grows even larger.
Savage Wolf: Invokes this trope by having a wolf-like head.
Superpower Lottery: Animal-based Quirks are already shown to be very powerful due to the versatility they give their users, but they're limited to a specific animal in most cases. Chimera, on the other hand, can pull from a dozen different animal-based abilities, all of which would be considered powerful on their own, and mix-and-match them to his desire. The only downside of his Quirk is that the appearance it gave him led him to be discriminated against, which is less a flaw of the Quirk itself and more a flaw of the society Chimera grew up in.
Super-Strength: He's strong enough to be able to lift Shoji off the ground with one hand and hold back the likes of Todoroki effortlessly.
Then Let Me Be Evil: He has been called a monster at times due to his appearance and has been discriminated as such. During his final battle against some of the students, he decides to change into an actual monster for an advantage.
Voice of the Legion: His aforementioned One-Winged Angel has a voice that fits with this trope.

Hoyo Makihara — Mummy

Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese), Brendan Blaber (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising (Film), Deku & Bakugo: Rising Chapter 2 (Manga)

Quirk: Mummification

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mummy_full_design.png

Another villain who is working with Nine. He has a ninja-like appearance and wears a full-body bandage. His Quirk, "Mummification", allows him to control things that get caught in said bandages.

Bandage Mummy: He's wrapped from head to toe in red bandages. Also applies to the Mooks he creates with his bandages, looking like bulky red mummies.
Curb Stomp Cushion: He's taken out pretty quickly, and fairly easily, but at the very least it requires Bakugo to sacrifice one of his gauntlets and remain without it for the rest of the movie.
Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. League of Villains: UNDERCOVER shows him apparently fighting off some thugs in a rage.
Emergency Weapon: Carries a shortsword with him, but only seems to use it when someone gets past his mummies.
Evil Puppeteer: A villain who can control things and people using his Quirk.
Mind over Matter: His Quirk allows him to control anything that gets caught in his bandages.
Mook Maker: An odd example. The main usage of his bandages is to take random objects (mostly inanimate objects like cars) and using them as a sort of "base" to construct vaguely humanoid mummies to fight for him. And he can create a lot of them.
Ninja: He's specifically described as "a villain with the appearance of a ninja," so he's at least one in terms of looks. The fact he carries a sword with him helps the image out, though functionally he doesn't really fit.
People Puppets: He can move people around by wrapping them in bandages, which he uses to attack and provide himself with human shields. He can't directly control people like he can inanimate objects, though he has ways of compensating for this.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: One of Nine's henchmen; he's wrapped in red bandages and wears a black outfit over them.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He's shown to be fairly dangerous, but Bakugo beats him with comparative ease early in the movie, making him the only member of Nine's crew to be beaten before the climactic battle.

My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission Characters

Soul Family

Rody Soul

Voiced by: Ryo Yoshizawa (Japanese), Ryan Colt Levy (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Film)

Quirk: Soul

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rody_soul_profile.png

A young man who works shady jobs to provide for his younger siblings. After getting unwittingly targeted by Humarise and forced on the run with Deku for stealing an important briefcase, he and Deku form an unlikely partnership.

Rody's Quirk is named "Soul", but doesn't like talking about it due to seeing it as embarrassing.

Action Survivor: Without Pino's presence to prove he has a Quirk, Rody could be mistaken for being Quirkless. And while even that doesn't give him the combat prowess of either Humarise's followers or the heroes he meets, he's more than capable of outwitting them with only natural athleticism, knowledge of Otheon's surroundings, and deception.
Artful Dodger: A charming young delinquent who is wily enough to evade a pursuing Deku for a good while using nothing but athleticism and knowledge of the terrain to slow the hero down.
Badass Normal: Rody's Quirk doesn't enhance his athleticism in any way, but he's able to outrun Deku, a trainee pro-hero with Super-Strength and Super-Speed, by Le Parkour-ing across the city, scaling staircases and jumping rooftops.
Chekhov's Skill: Rody's father teaches him a trick to opening a complex puzzle. That same puzzle comes up when finding the key to Humarise's plot. He also jokes about knowing how to pilot a Cessna, but successfully flies the heroes to Humarise's secret base in the climax of the film despite his lack of confidence, albeit while crash landing in the middle of a dense forest.
Consummate Liar: He's extremely good at lying with a straight face, very nearly getting Deku to stop investigating him while talking him into a corner about foreign heroes not havng jurisdiction to operate without clearance. This proves pivotal in the finale when Rody makes a big show about betraying Deku and handing over the disarming key to Flect Turn in exchange for sparing his siblings. Flect Turn buys it completely before Rody makes a break for the bomb room while simultaneously giving Deku a chance to counterattack.
Cynicism Catalyst: Rody became a cynical thief when his father was outed as a member of Humarise and left him and his siblings without warning. This left Rody to tend to his siblings alone as they were pelted with abuse from their former friends and neighbors. Being turned into a social pariah left him with no honest job prospects, forcing him to steal for a living while his family eeks a meager existence out of a camping van. He couldn't even count on any heroes for help, as they give Otheon a wide berth because of how hard it is to make a living there. All of these things left him struggling to trust others and especially distrustful of heroes.
Doting Parent: Rody loves his younger siblings more than anything after taking a Promotion to Parent at a young age. While driving in the countryside, Rody talks about them constantly and brags about how Lala is going to be a beautiful girl when she grows up. He gets so caught up in his thoughts that Deku has to remind him to keep his eyes on the road.
Driver Faces Passenger: Played for Laughs while showing Deku a picture of him with his siblings, causing Deku to panic and remind him to keep his eyes on the road.
Earn Your Happy Ending: By the end of the movie, his family's no longer outcast from society, he has a real job at the bar, his younger siblings are going to school, and he's studying aviation in his spare time, hoping to become a pilot someday. By the events of My Hero Academia: Team Up Mission, Rody and his siblings have saved up enough to afford a short vacation in Japan to visit Deku.
Eye Take: When he finally gets on the train thinking that he lost Deku, just to find him squashed against the train's windows from the outside his eyeballs pop out from shock.
Fainting: He passes out when Deku is holding him while swinging from one high place to another due to being scared, which makes him slip from Deku's hold before Deku catches him.
Foil: To Deku. Both were social outcasts who had pipe dreams that they thought would never be fulfilled (being a hero for Deku and becoming a pilot for Rody). But while Deku was taken under All Might's wing and given a chance to embrace said dream, Rody was Promoted to Parent and rendered homeless when his father was Forced into Evil by Humarise and coerced into abandoning Rody and his siblings. This leaves Deku an idealistic hero who can't help but rush to others' aid, while Rody is a cynical Artful Dodger who steals for a living.
Had to Be Sharp: There's no indication that Rody has recieved any formal instruction for all of his feats of Le Parkour. And yet he's a highly capable thief capable of outrunning heroes and swiping cars. He also taught himself to drive and can even pilot a plane in a pinch.
Improbable Piloting Skills: During the climax of the film, he helps fly Deku, Bakugou, and Todoroki to Humarise’s main base from Otheon’s airport.
It Began with a Twist of Fate: Rody is dragged into the plot by a series of coincidences that lead him to grab a briefcase containing extremely important information for Humarise by accident. His initial jewelry theft gets Deku on his case, forcing them to travel together to avoid the police and assassins being sent after them.
Jerkass Realization: Rody initially brushes off Deku as one of the hero who is Only in It for the Money, as heroes tend to stray away from Otheon due to being unable to win fame and fortune there, leaving the homeless poor like Rody to fend for themselves against criminals and gangs. But when Rody tries to forfeit the case to Humarise, Deku is forced to take an arrow meant for him before fleeing with Rody in tow. Seeing Deku continue to help him despite this betrayal forces Rody to accept Deku's sincerity and gets them to open up to each other.
Le Parkour: Rody is a highly adept freerunner, sliding down rails, leaping across rooftops, and flipping over obstacles to give others the slip during his thefts. He's so skilled at jumping around Otheon that he nearly manages to escape Deku, a hero trainee with Super-Speed, even while carrying a case full of jewels. In the climax, he manages to dodge Flect Turn's laser turrets for a while with nothing but his skills, allowing Deku to destroy them with Delaware Smash Air Force.
Missing Mom: Rody's mother is never mentioned besides an aside comment where he tells Deku that she died after his younger sister was born.
Mundane Solution: His Quirk makes it so that he's unable to lie. So how does he deceive others if needed? Simply hide Pino.
Odd Friendship: Rody is more or less Deku's opposite as a cynical, fast-talking Consummate Liar and thief who gave up on his dream of becoming a pilot after becoming his younger siblings' sole caretaker. He repeatedly tries to throw in the towel out of fear of the consequences and his desperation to get back home to care for his only remaining family. But after he starts to open up to Deku, the two get along swimmingly and become Fire-Forged Friends from their experiences.
Promotion to Parent: After his father's disappearance, he's the one providing for his younger brother and sister.
Riches to Rags: He and his family used to be well off until his father was apparently outed as a member of Humarise. Since then, he and his siblings live in an abandoned train car.
Sins of Our Fathers: Because his father was made out to be a member of Humarise (though in reality, he was kidnapped and Forced into Evil to protect his children), the siblings were forced to carry the stigma that came with it, forcing Rody to make ends meet by working shady jobs.
Spanner in the Works: While on a job to retrieve and deliver a briefcase of stolen jewels, he ends up accidentally grabbing the briefcase owned by a runaway Humarise member while being chased by Deku. Because of this, Humarise's attempts to further retrieve the case put both Deku and the Hero Association on alert about its importance and gives them access to the key needed to deactivate the bombs.
Took a Level in Idealism: Rody begins the movie as someone only looking out for himself and his family, willingly lying, cheating and scamming others for his personal benefit because his circumstances don't give him the opportunity to stay on the straight and narrow. But Deku's sincerity and support gradually warms Rody up to him, culminating in Deku taking an arrow for him. This gets Rody to open up and call himself lame for his way his way of life while yearning to be "cool" like Deku is. At the end of the film, Rody barges into Humarise's base to help disarm the Trigger Bombs all over the world, taking a laser to the gut, and nearly bleeding out in helping Deku save the world. He then asked if he managed to protect his family and take on everything like Deku did.
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: He considers his Quirk lame enough to have Deku promise to not laugh at it because it manifests as Pino, who reflects his true feelings and intentions, meaning he's unable to lie.
Years Too Early: He says "It's a million years too early for you to catch me" to Deku when he chases after the former to get the case back.

Pino

Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese), Cristina Valenzuela (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Film)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pino_bird.png

A bird that accompanies Rody everywhere he goes.

Action Pet: Pino is too small to fight, but she helps Rody during the chase scene by flying straight into Deku's face and farting, stopping him for a few seconds and giving Rody time to get away. During the climactic moment, she carries the Trigger Bomb deactivation key to the slot the last few steps when Rody is too weakened by his injuries to move any further.
Anthropomorphic Personification: Pino is actually a physical manifestation of Rody's Quirk which reflects his true emotions and feelings.
Cannot Tell a Lie: Rody's true feelings and intent show through Pino whether he likes it or not.
The Conscience: When Rody decides to give the case back to the authorities, Pino tries to stop him, and then wakes Deku up to help. This foreshadows the emotional aspect of his Quirk's manifestation; despite acting on self-preservation, he subconsciously knew that he was betraying Deku and was under heavy emotional distress.
Facial Dialogue: At the climax, Pino emotes to Deku that Rody hasn't given up and is giving him an opening to counter-attack Flect.
He Will Not Cry, so I Cry for Him:
- As Rody learns both the importance of the briefcase he took and the truth about his dad through a video file, he is not seen crying, while Pino is seen from the side watching and visibly shedding tears.
- Happens again later while seeing Izuku off at the airport. Rody pretends that he's glad to be rid of Deku, but Pino's crying tells Izuku how he really feels.
Meaningful Name:
- Her revealed connection to Rody's Quirk makes her name to be based off Pinocchio. Whereas the puppet's nose grows longer whenever he tells a lie, the bird freely expresses Rody's feelings whenever he lies.
- "Pino" also sounds similar to piyo-piyo, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a bird's chirping.
Pinocchio Nose: Late in the movie, Pino is revealed to be an expression of all of Rody's thoughts and feelings, emoting what he hides behind his poker face. This makes it impossible for him to lie to anyone who can see Pino and knows what she is, as she'll emote what he's trying to hide.
Rewatch Bonus: Pino emotes a lot during the movie. She actually emotes Rody's true feelings, which isn't revealed until the climax.
Ridiculously Cute Critter: Pino is an adorable, affectionate little bird who is Rody's constant companion.
Shout-Out: She is a manifestation of Rody's soul, and the way she operates is similar to a Stand.
Synchronization: Because she is the manifestation of Rody's Quirk, whatever happens to him happens to her as well. When he is very badly hurt by lasers, she temporarily fades away.
Uncatty Resemblance: Her mask and head feathers resemble Rody's head accessory and ponytail. Although considering she's a manifestation of his Quirk, this is likely deliberate.

Roro and Lala Soul

Roro voiced by: Naomi Ozora (Japanese), Michelle Rojas (English)

Lala voiced by: Hina Natsume (Japanese), Emi Lo (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Film)

Quirks: Unknown

Rody's younger brother and sister.

Alliterative Family: Lala's name can be romanized as either "Lala" or "Rara," so the family members' names are Rody, Roro, and Rara.
The Cameo: They along with other movie only characters appear briefly in chapter 384.
Cheerful Child: Even though their living situation is not very good, they seem like pretty happy children.
Dark and Troubled Past: They and their big brother used to live happily in a beautiful home with their father until one day he left them to become a member of the terrorist group Humarise (actually, they kidnapped him and forced to make the Trigger Bombs). They were kicked out of their home and their school and ostracized from society. Currently, they live in a small trailer located in a run-down neighborhood.
Precious Photo: Rody keeps a photograph of them in a locket that his father gave to him before he left.

Humarise Cult

General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/humarise_members.png

An international cult believing Quirks are a disease that must be purged from the human race in order for humanity to survive.

Boomerang Bigot: For a cult dedicated to eradicting Quirks and those who have them Humarise holds a large number of Quirk users on their side. While it's explained that the Serpenters are there to avoid being culled and Beros genuinely believes in the 'Quirks are a disease' philosophy, for the other Quirk Users seen its unknown whether they lean either way or if it was for other reasons.
Catchphrase: "Jinrui no kyusai wo!" ("For the salvation of humanity!")
Elite Mooks: The Quirk users within their organization, with their powers allowing them to stand a better chance at the waves of Pro Heroes trying to stop their terrorist acts.
Fantastic Slurs: Humarise refers to those with Quirks as "diseased" or "infected" and the Quirkless as "pure humans".
Knight of Cerebus: In perhaps the darkest MHA movie entry of them all the entire organization and their leader possess absolutely zero comical qualities, carry out terror attacks on a global scale, plan global genocide of people with Quirks, threaten the lives of scientists' children and boast enough boss-level minions that even some of the strongest students in Class 1-A like Bakugo and Todoroki are in serious danger of being killed in battle against them.
Light Is Not Good: In contrast to most of the villains they dress up as holy crusaders and target anyone with a Quirk no matter how innocent their victims are.
Hypocrite: Many of them have Quirks themselves despite their insistence of purging Quirk users from the world.
Malevolent Masked Men: Humarise members wear religious-looking robes and cover their faces with metal masks.
Mooks: The non-Quirk users of their organization. While they try to get by using weapons like guns which could be lethal they still pale in comparison to those with Quirk powers and fall easier than their superpowered peers.
Murder Is the Best Solution: According to them killing every single person in the world with a Quirk (roughly 80% of the population) is the only way to prevent the Quirk Doomsday Theory and extinction of humanity.
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: They supposedly believe in the Quirk Doomsday Theory positing that with every generation the strength of Quirks will continue to evolve and grow until their users can no longer control them, leading to the destruction of the human race. Except as Midoriya points out this theory has little scientific validity and their leader Flect Turn is simply pushing his own misery onto others while villains like the Serpenters are simply with the group to avoid falling victim to the Quirk genocide. Not to mention their actions cause the deaths of people with and without Quirks alike due to the inevitable destruction that ensues and they don't care in the slightest about the Quirkless people traumatized by the attack in the opening scene.
Would Hurt a Child: Implicitly as their plan to slaughter the entire world's Quirk-using population would include both "infected" adults and children. Their leader even threatens the children of the families of scientists to force compliance.

Flect Turn

Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai (Japanese), Robbie Daymond (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Film)

Quirk: Reflect

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flect_turn_profile.png

^{Click here to see him with Arachne activated}

The leader of the Humarise Cult, a genius obsessed with the idea that Quirks are a disease that must be purged.

His Quirk, "Reflect" allows him to absorb any attack and its effects before releasing them back on the attacker. Unfortunately for him his Quirk is passive and will automatically reflect all manner of physical contact which caused him no end of misery and contributed to his belief that Quirks are a disease.

Amazing Technicolor Population: Due to his Quirk his skin’s bright neon blue. However, this is actually the result of his Quirk passively reflecting light around him. After his defeat at Midoriya's hand he's shown to have a Caucasian skin tone.
Attack Drones: The mirrors on his Arachne support item can also detach and act as these which he uses to reflect shots from the laser turrets in the room to strike opponents from different angles.
Attack Reflector: His Quirk allows him to reflect any attacks thrown at him.
Bad Boss: Isn’t remotely concerned over Beros being Driven to Suicide.
Believing Their Own Lies: He hints that his Quirk not only reflects physical attacks but also more abstract stimulations like emotional attachments, leading to him being abandoned by his parents, friends and other loved ones. We're never given any proof that this is true, especially since he was able to establish a cult as impressive, influential and dangerous as Humarise. The fact he seems to view everything under religious terms implies he’d convinced himself that his Quirk is to blame for his problems.
Berserk Button: Being told he gave up on the world and himself. He was already trampling Midoriya at this point and it made him throw punches with the intent to beat him to death with his bare hands. Unfortunately it made him sloppy and Midoriya already figured out his limits, resulting in his victory.
Big Bad: Of World Heroes Mission.
Blessed with Suck: How he views his Quirk. While it makes him nearly invincible reflecting everything also means he couldn't touch or hold another person without them bouncing away. This means he can't even end his own life.
Boomerang Bigot: Like Overhaul he has a Quirk but hates the fact that Quirks exist. Though instead of doing so for seemingly no reason, because of the misery that came from his inability to control his he internalized the Quirk Doomsday Theory and devoted his life to the eradication of Quirks.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To both previous movie villains. While Wolfram was a mercenary with no greater motivation than profit Flect is The Leader of a cult. And while he’s an ideologue like Nine, while Nine sought to create a world where those with powerful Quirks ruled Flect seeks to create a world where Quirks no longer exist. Also, whereas Wolfram and Nine were connected to the League of Villains and gained additional Quirks from them Flect has no such associations.
Driven to Suicide: His misery over his Quirk reflecting all forms of human interaction, injuring those who approached him and causing him to be eternally distanced from others drove him to attempt suicide... only for him to learn his Quirk also prevents him from harming himself.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Because he blames his Quirk for his suffering and being unable to touch anyone he assumes all Quirks are a disease and must be purged from the world. His bitterness and hatred for Quirks leaves him unable to see them as anything but harmful and destructive. It's reinforced when he refuses to believe Midoriya when he points out that it wasn't his Quirk that caused him to become a monster, it was him giving up and deciding his beliefs.
Fatal Flaw:
- His unwillingness to view Quirks as anything but evil. His Quirk causes him to immediately reflect whatever he touches against his will, leaving him unable to touch or feel anyone. He blames Quirks for his suffering and believes they're nothing but a disease. This leaves him unable to realize he chose to give up rather than find a way to connect with others.
- In a more practical sense this also resulted in him never actually experimenting with his Quirk to the point he wasn't even aware there was a limit to what it could reflect. Considering how strong Reflect is by default, had he taken the time to train his Quirk he could have potentially become one of the most powerful people in the world.
Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Flect explicitly stated he never felt his parents' love, much less a bond with a friend or lover because of his Quirk. He blames the ever-growing number of uncontrollable Quirks as of late by using the Quirk Doomsday Theory but Midoriya argues it's because he gave up on connecting with others and is pushing his own misery onto them instead, especially given there’s minimal proof (at the time) that the Quirk Doomsday Theory could actually happen.
Hypocrite: Has and is willing to use a Quirk despite insisting they’re a disease (not to mention his cult’s littered with Quirk-users whom he's willing to let survive his genocide). He's also willing to kill or endanger the Quirkless to achieve his goals as seen by the threat Rody's siblings are in throughout the movie.
I Have Your Wife: A number of the scientists and engineers needed to enact his plan, including Eddy Soul were forced to work for him to create the “Trigger Bombs” in exchange for their families' safety.
It's All About Me: What his Freudian Excuse amounts to. Simply because nobody could touch him and life was miserable with his Quirk he convinced himself everyone else was also suffering because of their own Quirks, pushing his misery onto everyone else.
Light Is Not Good: Aside from his light-themed outfit he radiates pure blue light. This is actually the result of his Quirk passively reflecting light around him. When defeated he's revealed to have a different skin tone.
Logical Weakness: Midoriya discovers he can only reflect so much damage before his ability becomes weaker. By tapping into 100% of One For All he overwhelms him with fast and hard-hitting attacks to the point his Quirk can’t keep up.
Meaningful Name: His full name is the word "Reflect" shortened and the word "Return" shortened. Doubles as a Punny Name.
Mirrors Reflect Everything: Flect fights with a support item called Arachne, an endoskeleton equipped with mirrors which allow him to channel and redirect the reflected energy he absorbs, mainly using them as thrusters to propel himself in the air. The mirrors can also detach and act as Attack Drones which he uses to reflect and redirect blasts from his personal laser turrets to target enemies.
Motive Rant: When Deku calls him out on using the Quirk Doomsday Theory for his plan and having a Quirk he has this to say in refutation (both versions listed due to tonal differences):
Sub: Believe in them? You fool. Because of this disease, I was never once held by my parents. Even my friends and those I gave my heart to left me, who reflected even their feelings... Since I reflect everything, I couldn't even choose death for myself. A Quirk that cannot be controlled only leads to pain. And people's bodies and hearts were being crushed by the evolving Quirks!
Dub: You would question me? Quirks are a tragedy. Because of this ailment, I was never once held by my parents, never knew a caring touch. My closest friends and those I gave my heart to left me, their feelings repelled. I watched them all leave me, one by one... Since I reflect everything, I couldn't even choose death for myself. A Quirk that cannot be controlled leads to a life of suffering! But I can save others from this misery. These meta powers will trample no more hearts!
Near-Villain Victory: It should be noted that he nearly won even when defeated since he kept Midoriya busy long enough that he'd never make it to shut down the Trigger Bombs in time while Rody was bleeding out and unable to insert the shutdown key. Luckily for both of them they had Pino, who Flect either forgot or didn't know about.
Never My Fault: He blames his Quirk for his personal miseries and thus seeks to purge Quirks from humanity but Deku insinuates his troubles are at least partly because he stopped trying, both with controlling his Quirk and connecting with others despite his Quirk.
Nigh-Invulnerable: Thanks to his Quirk melee and ranged attacks might as well be useless as they bounce off while leaving him unharmed. However, even this has a limit and Midoriya's United States of World Smash is enough to overwhelm his ability to reflect. Even he didn't think it was possible.
Not Quite Dead: After being defeated by Midoriya he’s crushed through various walls in one single blow and falls unconscious but it's later revealed that he was found and arrested by the Otheon police alongside other remaining Humanrise members.
Power Incontinence: As a child his Quirk was always on meaning any contact with him, no matter the intent was treated as an attack and reflected.
Quantity vs. Quality: Has both in comparison to Wolfram and Nine. His organization is much larger than Wolfram's crew, enough to threaten multiple countries at once with plenty of unnamed Elite Mooks who can give pro heroes a tough time. And compared to Nine's crew he also has more boss-level villains at his disposal who prove to be significant challenges.
Shut Up, Kirk!: His Villainous Breakdown in a nutshell. He practically screams this at Midoriya when the latter dissects his Motive Rant and resorts to continually beating the shit out of him in a brutal Pummel Duel. Too bad Midoriya's already figured out how to get around his Quirk by this point.
Simple, yet Awesome: Compared to many previous villains he has neither multiple Quirks nor a hyper-advanced tool to boost his Quirk. Despite this he puts up an incredible fight through a combination of simple applications of his Quirk, a home field advantage thanks to his security system and a support item.
Stone Wall: Flect Turn barely needs to attack himself to defeat his foes as any attempts to subdue him are simply reflected back at them. He can even redirect impacts to further the effectiveness of his own attacks. While he can repel himself off surfaces for bursts of speed, he spends most of the fight just letting Midoriya's attacks rebound without bothering to do more than token counterattacks while Midoriya runs circles around him.
Unskilled, but Strong: It's implied that due to his self-loathing regarding his Quirk he never bothered to actually train with it as his main fighting style boils down to "reflect enemy attacks while beating them into submission" and he seems genuinely surprised to learn his Quirk actually has a limit to how much it can reflect. Midoriya even calls him out on it, flat-out telling him that if he had bothered to actually train his Quirk, he could've learned how to control it. Flect Turn doesn't take it well. That said he's still able to give Midoriya one hell of a fight.
Villain Has a Point: Regardless if his actual reasons were selfish at the end of the day and even if the Quirk Doomsday Theory isn't real he's not wrong in pointing out how people with quirks often oppress those without quirks. Take Deku before he got One For All.
Villainous Breakdown: Being told he gave up on humans drives him into an unthinking rage.
Flect Turn: Shut up... shut up... SHUT UP!

Serpenters

Debut: My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Film)

Quirk: Sword Kill

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/serpenters_profile.png

A pair of identical twins who work for Humarise, they act as part of the Elite Mooks for Flect. Their names are Ena and Dio, though few people can tell them apart.

Their Quirk "Sword Kill" allows them to create blades from their arms and shoulders.

Always Identical Twins: They look exactly alike and even have the same Quirk.
Animal Motifs: Snakes. Their Quirk is framed in a manner not too different from a snake attacking but under the effects of Trigger they gain a serpent-like appearance.
Antagonist Abilities: Of the Multi-Armed and Dangerous variety due to being Tag Team Twins. Becomes even more literal after they inject themselves with Trigger.
Ax-Crazy: The most obvious trait they have is this. They spend their entire fight with Bakugo flashing Slasher Smiles and laughing manically.
Blade Below the Shoulder: Their Quirk allows them to create blades for them to use in battle. When under the effects of Trigger, they can create six at once, allowing them easily overwhelm Bakugo.
Boomerang Bigot: They have Quirks yet are part of a terrorist group seeking to eliminate Quirks. Possibly averted due to the implication that they only joined Humarise to avoid being one of the group's targets, rather than because they actually agree with their cause.
Combination Attack: Their specialty. This along with their speed makes them especially deadly.
Coordinated Clothes: They wear the same red-and-white Humarise tunic and snake skin boots.
Creepy Twins: Two Ax-Crazy brothers who are a bit too enthusiastic about skewering people and spend most of their time onscreen laughing.
Dance Battler: Their fighting style is quite graceful and includes a lot of acrobatics.
Evil Laugh: They clearly have the time of their lives fighting people if their constant high-pitched cackling is anything to go by. Lampshaded by Bakugo.
Bakugo: Stop your laughing! It's getting on my nerves!
Fangs Are Evil: The twins both sport a very prominent pair of fangs which only emphasizes their sinister nature.
Finishing Each Other's Sentences: Occasionally. It plays up their twinness.
Fragile Speedster: They're incredibly fast, able to overwhelm and badly hurt Bakugo who was anble to easily keep up with Midoriya's increasing levels of speed and avoid his attacks. That said all it takes is Bakugo hitting them a few times for them to finally be put down.
Identical Twin ID Tag: The novelization gives some insight into which twin is which during their scenes. Ena has a slightly deeper voice than Dio and is apparently the more talkative and assertive of the pair.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: They inflict this upon Bakugo.
Join or Die: It's implied they're part of Humarise despite having Quirks because fighting with Flect will allow them to be spared in the upcoming Quirk genocide.
Logical Weakness: Their teamwork and reflexes along with the sheer range and lethality of of their Quirks make them fearsome opponents with Bakugo struggling to even land a hit on them. But given that their Whip Sword arms require momentum and movement to work he opts to crush them beneath tons of rock before they can react with grenades he embedded around the base. The shocked twins aren't able to swing their arms in time to slice through the rock coming down on them. After taking Trigger they start sprouting blades from their backs that seem to be control with their minds rather than arm movements, enabling them to get out of the rocks he trapped them under. So Bakugo buries them even deeper into rock by shooting his gauntlets at them as a Rocket Punch, leaving their arms and blades completely immobilized. This prevents the twins from doing anything when he finishes them with a Howitzer Impact.
Made of Iron: Even getting crushed by literal tons of rocks twice isn't enough to kill them.
Maniac Tongue: As a way to show how bloodthirsty and unhinged the twins are one of them licks his lips with satisfaction at one point during their battle with Bakugo.
Not in This for Your Revolution: Both of them imply that they only follow Flect Turn to avoid getting killed, not because they believe in his cause.
Single-Minded Twins: They share the same sadistic, bloodthirsty personality and are completely synchronized. Their singlemindedness is actually weaponized: if they weren't so perfectly in-tune with each other their partnership in combat wouldn't be as successful and dangerous.
Slasher Smile: Both of them are prone to those in battle.
Snakes Are Sinister: Their animal motif is a snake and both of them are villains who take pleasure in what they do.
Tag Team Twins: In battle they work together to assault their foe from every angle. Bakugo has a lot of trouble with them as a result.
Theme Twin Naming: The oldest is named "Ena" which means "One" in Greek while the youngest is named "Dio" which means "Two".
Undying Loyalty: Both of them are completely loyal to Humarise but hint at the fact that it's more out of fear that they'll get culled with Quirk users worldwide if they don't submit and give everything they have to defend the organization's goals than out of genuine ideological dedication.
Whip Sword: Their Quirk allows them to turn their arms into serrated whip blades they can freely manipulate. These swords can be used as Combat Tentacles shredding foes with tough constitutions as well as shields and a means to Building Swing. After using Trigger they gain four more swords from their backs that they can manipulate.

Beros

Voiced by: Mariya Ise (Japanese), Michelle Rojas (English)

Debut: My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Film)

Quirk: Longbow

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beros_profile.png

One of Humarise's Quirk-using mercenaries. She's devoted to the Humarise cause and spends the movie hunting down Midoriya and Rody in an attempt to get back the briefcase they took.

Her Quirk, "Longbow", allows her to transform her fingers into a bow.

Better to Die than Be Killed: After running out of arrows, Bakugo and Todoroki turning the tide of battle and the briefcase being unable to be obtained she chooses to jump off her helicopter, rather than be captured by the heroes. That said, while she does jump it’s unconfirmed if the fall actually kills her.
Boomerang Bigot: She has a Quirk herself yet works for a group that wants to wipe out Quirks from the population. According to the philosophy of Humarise the only way to "atone" for having a Quirk is to give one's life to the cause.
Bottomless Magazines: Averted. Unlike other characters who can make weapons Longbow doesn't automatically create arrows for her to use so she has to resupply them.
Cold Sniper: While she uses a Bow instead of a rifle she acts as one through out the film, always preferring to fight from a distance.
Disc-One Final Boss: She's the most persistent and dangerous member of Humarise initially introduced and serves as The Face of the group hunting down Izuku and Rody across the country. Fittingly, it's with her defeat and possible death that Izuku's Fugitive Arc ends and Flect's plan goes into motion along with the secret of the briefcase being revealed to them.
Homing Projectile: The arrows that Beros fires with her Quirk possess enough power to pierce metal and the ability to chase their targets. Deku has to engage in extensive acrobatics and Building Swing constantly with Blackwhip to avoid getting hit, further complicated by how he's often carrying Rody who can't dodge on his own.
Uncertain Doom: While she does jump from her helicopter following her failure we never see the impact and it's unknown if she actually died from her fall or was just heavily injured/comatose from it. Regardless she's rendered out of commission for the rest of the plot. Her body, alive or dead would likely have been taken in by law enforcement no matter the status.
Undying Loyalty: To Humarise. Once the heroes have her surrounded she jumps out of her helicopter, picking death over capture and interrogation.
Weak, but Skilled: Her Quirk just allows her to make a bow and she doesn't even get anything special beyond that. Despite this she makes up for it with skill and focus on long-range fighting. She doesn't even technically lose her battles either, only giving up when she realizes she's failed.

Quirk: Helical Scythe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leviathan_profile.png

A hulking brute under the mutations of Trigger that acts as one of Flect's Elite Mooks.

His Quirk, "Helical Scythe", allows him to control red tentacles on his body.

The Berserker: By the time Todoroki fights him. He continually attacks and attacks even as Todoroki tries to counter him, and the "World Heroes' Mission" tie-in booklet describes him as having no rational mind due to being on Trigger.
The Brute: Acts as one for the organization, being one of its strongest members.
Combat Tentacles: The red appendages on his body not only let him control elements like water and fire (and typically shape them into things to attack foes) but can stretch and strike on their own if needed.
Expy: Between the berserker nature thanks to a strength-enhancing drug, general design and the placement of the tubes on his head, one can think of him as a stand-in for DC Comics Bane.
Humanoid Abomination: He is literally a raging beast that is about two times the height of a normal human.
Making a Splash: His Quirk allows him to create water twisters, which makes him incredibly deadly against Todoroki, whose Fire is easily extinguished, while his Ice is destroyed too quickly.
Silent Antagonist: Since he's drugged up on Trigger, he's berserk for the whole film and never says a coherent word.
Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: How Todoroki beats him. Leviathan attempts to swallow him whole, at which point Todoroki responds by using his flames to their highest point possible, burning him up from the inside.

A member of Humarise who assists Beros in reattaining the briefcase that was in the hands of Midoriya and Rody.

His Quirk, "Iron Ball", lets him create iron balls from his knuckles, which he can control the mass of.

Bottomless Magazines: He can create a seemingly limitless amount of iron balls.
Dirty Coward: A brute that had zero qualms in attempting to crush Rody to death, but as soon as he gets snagged, he quickly starts begging for mercy and promising to reveal what he knows.
Extra-ore-dinary: His Quirk lets him make metal balls from his knuckles. He primarily uses it to give Beros ammunition when she has no arrows.
Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Beros takes him out with her arrows after he readily agrees to spill the beans on Humarise once he gets captured.
Support Party Member: He barely fights the heroes himself, mostly assisting Beros in their fight before attacking Rody and getting captured by Todoroki.
Villains Want Mercy: When he gets encased in Todoroki's ice, he begs to be saved. Todoroki would have obliged if Sidero promises to spill the beans on Humarise, but he gets knocked out by Beros for his betrayal.
Visual Pun: His Quirk gives him iron balls on his knuckles. You could say he has... iron knuckles?

Another member of Humarise, who meets Deku and Rody trying to trick them into handing over the briefcase.

His Quirk, "Iron Club", lets him transform into a monstrous Oni with spiked metal clubs for arms.

Carry a Big Stick: His Quirk Iron Club turns both his arms into spiked clubs that can crush bedrock easy.
Giant Mook: Big and scary when using his Quirk, but compared to Leviathan he is nowhere near as powerful or important, being a minor speedbump that Deku takes out.
Oni: What his Quirk boils down to, turning him into a classic Oni with clubs for arms.
Sinister Silhouettes: We only see his human form in shadow before he transforms and his Oni form bursts from the darkness.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Following his defeat, he never shows up again, as Beros goes on to join with Sidero to chase after Deku and Rody. Given the arrest of Humarise later on, its possible he arrested as well.

Broken Pedestal: Rody was crushed when his loving father disappeared under the belief he joined a terrorist organization. It ultimately becomes a Rebuilt Pedestal once he discovers Eddy was actually kidnapped and forced to create the Trigger Bombs by said organization, even sacrificing himself to create the key to deactivate it and let his fellow colleague escape with it.
Disappeared Dad: Supposedly this was because he left his family to join Humarise. In reality, he was abducted by them.
Gadgeteer Genius: A brilliant engineer who was involved in the creation of the Trigger Bombs, as well as their kill code.
Good Parents: He was a kind and loving father to his three children who did a good job of providing for them, which made it all the more hurtful when he supposedly abandoned them to join a terrorist organization.
Heroic Sacrifice: He made the kill code that could prevent the Trigger Bombs from activating, and was killed offscreen making sure that his ally could get out of Humarise with it.
Kidnapped Scientist: Flect abducted him and extorted him into developing the Trigger Bombs by threatening to kill his children if he didn't cooperate.
Walking Spoiler: It's impossible to describe his role in the plot without revealing both his connection to Rody and his creation of the kill code after being forced against his will to make Humarise's bombs.
