Shie Hassaikai

The main antagonists of the Internship Arc. A group of dangerous yakuza, led by Overhaul, with the goal of taking the "Leader of the Underworld" title that was once held by All For One. As a whole, they're based on the corruption of Buddhism, specifically its Eightfold Path, with Overhaul acting as a Buddha analog.

---

In General

• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The "Shie" part of the Shie Hassaikai is Japanese for "filth of death".
• Plague Doctor: Several members of the Shie Hassaikai, including their mysophobic leader, Overhaul, wear masks like that of a plague doctor. Overhaul's Quirk, in addition to the ability to kill his targets with a single touch, allows him to heal the physical and mental diseases entirely, with the drawback of a moment of intense pain. Overhaul frequently likens Quirks to a disease, the Quirk destroying bullets they intend to use to regain their former glory made to be the "cure" for this "disease," giving their choice in masks further symbology.
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: The "Hassaikai" part of the Shie Hassaikai derives from Japanese for the eight precepts, the rules observed by Buddhist devotees on observance days and festivals.
• Yakuza: The Shie Hassaikai is apparently one of the last few surviving in present day Japan since the rise of heroes, with All Might's debut being the final nail that destroyed most of the remaining groups. Before meeting Overhaul, Magne had never seen one in person before and Toga didn't even know what a yakuza was. Mr. Compress explains that "[Overhaul is] an endangered species leftover from old times", which Overhaul says isn't an incorrect assertion. During the hero raid on their hideout, some of the old guard express disgust with Chisaki for "taking a villain's name."

"If... if Kai somehow loses... then at least we've still got the finished product and serum... I don't have the luxury of babysitting this guy. This is for the gang! This is for Kai!"

A longtime member of the Shie Hassaikai who serves as Overhaul's assistant. His titular Quirk, "Chronostasis", allows him to slow down the movements of anything he hits with his clock hand-like hair.

---

• Childhood Friends: The ULTRA ANALYSIS Character Book reveals that he's known Overhaul since they were kids, and he's stuck by him for so long because he agrees with his goals.
• Cool Mask: Following the motif for the rest of the Hassaikai, Chronostasis wears a plague doctor's mask that covers his entire face.
• A Dog Named "Dog": Kurono's shortened nickname "Chrono" is actually spoken the same as his real name in Japanese phonetic pronunciation.
• The Dragon: To Overhaul, as he is his Childhood Friend and right-hand man.
• Dragon Their Feet: After Overhaul's defeated, Kurono promises to carry on his dream of erasing all Quirks, but is quickly subdued by Tamaki.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He has softer features and longer hair than those of Overhaul under his mask, making Overhaul look masculine in comparison. This is downplayed in that his hair only reaches his chin.
• Prehensile Hair: Three arrow-shaped locks of hair which can stretch out like tentacles and attack people, and as he points out, can harm people along with inflicting time manipulation.
• Revolvers Are Just Better: Whips out a six-shot gun from under his raincoat the second it looks like Shigaraki is about to draw a weapon from inside his own coat.
• Time Master: His Quirk allows a limited application of time manipulation. He has three arrow-shaped locks of hair (an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand) that he can shoot out like tentacles to attack people. This will slow down their movements, with the duration of the slowdown effect being determined by whichever hand he used to attack. However, Kurono cannot extend his hair unless he stays still.
• Undying Loyalty: His loyalty lies with the Hassaikai and Overhaul, as he believes Overhaul has what it takes to bring back the organization back to the forefront of the underworld.

Joi Irinaka — Mimic

Joi Irinaka — Mimic

Voiced by: Yasuhiro Mamiya (Japanese), Derick Snow (English)

Debut: Chapter 125 (Manga), Episode 65 (Anime)

Quirk: Mimicry

Rank: B

^{Click here to see him undisguised}

"We're the Yakuza, so you'd better not look down on us!! We're gonna rise up again to take society's control from the shadows! The Yakuza's due for a revival! That's our bedridden boss's greatest dream, and we're gonna make it happen!! You're not gonna wanna miss it! So be grateful, you losers!!"

A member of the Shie Hassaikai who serves as the group's General Manager. His Quirk is "Mimicry", and it allows him to inhabit an object and control it at his whim.

---

• Animate Inanimate Object: His Quirk allows him to possess and control an object. Normally, he can't possess an object larger than a refrigerator, but with the aid of a Quirk boosting drug, he can take over an entire section of the Hassaikai's hideout.
• Berserk Button: Disrespecting the Shie Hassaikai in any way is sure to set him off, which Toga and Twice uses to their advantage. After they betray him, simply hearing Toga and Twice's names is enough to set him off.
• Fatal Flaw: His temper, which is tied to a sort of Inferiority Superiority Complex regarding his status as a yakuza member. He can't stand anyone disrespecting the organization, to the point of going completely berserk, which can make him vulnerable.
• Genius Loci: Through the help of the aforementioned Quirk boosting drug, Mimic is capable of inhabiting entire locations, manipulating them as he wishes.
• He Who Must Not Be Seen: The real Mimic is not a little guy wearing a black cloak, but rather a huge guy possessing the cloak itself.
• Intangible Man: Of a different sort than Mirio. His Quirk lets him inhabit any non-living thing he can touch (things up to the size of a fridge normally, things up to the size of a large building section with a Quirk booster). Along with being able to control it like his own body, he's also capable of freely moving around inside whatever he's inhabiting.
• Last-Name Basis: He's referred to as "Irinaka" or his nickname "Mimic" by the police until Chapter 147, when his full name is given.
• Logical Weakness: In order to perceive his surroundings while possessing an object, he needs to leave part of his real body exposed. This creates an opening that enemies can attack him through.
• Mobile Maze: Under the influence of a Quirk boosting drug, he constructs an entire mobile labyrinth that he modifies as he pleases in order to hinder Sir Nighteye's rescue operation.
• Non-Indicative Name: His Quirk has little to do with mimicry and more to do with animating inanimate objects. The reason for the name seems to be that he makes the objects he inhabits act like the Mimic monsters from fantasy games.
• Wingding Eyes: His human pupils look like starbursts.

The Boss (Spoilers)

The Boss

Voiced by: Naomi Kusumi (Japanese), R. Bruce Elliott (English)

Debut: Chapter 142 (Manga), Episode 72 (Anime)

Quirk: Unknown

The true leader of the Shie Hassaikai, as well as the adoptive father of Overhaul.

---

• Convenient Coma: Overhaul puts him in one of these with his Quirk, with the intention of bringing him back out after he has achieved his goal. Unfortunately, given Overhaul's loss of his hands means he does not have any other known means to use said Quirk, the effect may be permanent.
• Disappointed in You: His reaction when Eri's mother, his daughter, gave her child up to the yakuza and wanted nothing more to do with the girl after she accidentally erased her father.
  Shie Hassaikai boss: That stupid girl abandoned her child.
• The Don: He's the true leader of the Shie Hassaikai, though Overhaul acted as the organization's leader while the Boss is bedridden.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Unlike his daughter, he seemed to care about Eri, at least on a basic human level. He was even willing to kick Overhaul out of the Hassaikai when he found out that Overhaul was essentially torturing Eri for his own gain.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He was appalled by the lengths Overhaul was willing to go, specifically tormenting Eri by harvesting her blood and cells for the Quirk canceling and restoring bullets. He also didn't approve of his own daughter abandoning Eri and calling her "cursed" because of her Quirk, even calling her foolish for doing so. And even when Chisaki was young and got into fights, he made it clear to to Chisaki that the yakuza can't just attack any civilian they please.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": He is only known as "the Boss".
• Kimono Is Traditional: He wears a kuro montsuki, signifying the fact that he holds on to the traditional values of the yakuza in contrast to Overhaul.
• Luke, I Am Your Father: It's revealed late into the Internship Arc that he is Eri's maternal grandfather.
• Morality Pet: The Boss is the only person Overhaul truly cares about, so much so that Overhaul's whole Evil Plan was conceived with the intention of saving the yakuza to repay the Boss's kindness to him throughout his life. Unfortunately, the Boss wasn't a fan of the methods Overhaul took to do so.
• Never Hurt an Innocent:
  • Two separate flashbacks show him chastising a younger Overhaul after the boy got in a fight with someone who badmouthed the Shie Hassaikai. The first time Overhaul did this, which was when he was still a child, the boss told not to do it again but still thanked him for defending the Hassaikai's name. The second time Overhaul did this, which was around the same time Overhaul was forming his Evil Plan, the boss was much more annoyed with his ward, still appreciating the thought, but criticizing Overhaul for taking things too far by putting his opponent in critical condition.
  • He also wasn't happy to find out that Overhaul has been hurting Eri to make his Quirk destroying bullets, and was even ready to kick him out of the group before Overhaul put him in a coma.
• Noble Demon: Despite being the true leader of a yakuza group, he has numerous good-natured principles and standards with how much he genuinely cares about the well-being of his granddaughter Eri only being part of it. Unfortunately, the fact he's so noble, to the point he doesn't care that the yakuza are fading into little more than a memory, didn't sit well with Overhaul, to the point he crippled the Boss using his powers under the mistaken belief that his standards and principles were holding the Hassaikai back.
• No Name Given: His name is never revealed in the story or in any supplementary material. He is simply known as "The Boss".
• Parental Marriage Veto: In the past, he disapproved of his daughter marrying a man that he didn't approve of. However, this ended up sterning their relationship as she married her beloved anyway. He does come to regret this, which it was shown when he took in his granddaughter, Eri, after her mother disowned her.
• Parental Substitute: He took Overhaul in when the latter was a child. He was also the one who was originally in custody of his granddaughter Eri after her mother disowned her.
• Unnamed Parent: He's called "Father" by his adoptive son, Overhaul, but he is otherwise only known as "the Boss".
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom:
  • After taking Eri in, the Boss asked Overhaul to look after her and investigate her Quirk since it was similar to his. Overhaul's investigation led him to discover the true nature of Eri's Quirk, which in turn inspired his Evil Plan.
  • Even before that, Overhaul's final flashback as he's lying nigh-comatose from getting pummelled senseless by 100% Full Cowling Izuku, implies that root of his desire to restore the Hassaki was an incident in his youth wherein the boss sincerely thanked him for standing up for the Hassaki's honour and getting into a fight over them being called villains. He made it clear that Kai wasn't supposed to go around fighting civilians but nonetheless appreciated the sentiment behind it, only for Kai to associate his approval with defending the Hassaki and taking that to extreme measures as he got older. Notably, said memory is enough to rouse him to one last attempt to take Eri, despite his nigh-unconscious state and the fact that touching her is almost suicidal thanks to her out-of-control rewind abilities.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Especially not his own granddaughter, no matter how much money he would get from it, with him being appalled and disgusted when he found out Overhaul was using Eri's blood to make Quirk destroying bullets.

Eight Bullets

In General

"They'll buy us time."^note Clockwise: Tabe, Deidoro, Rappa, Rikiya, Nemoto, Tengai, Hojo, Setsuno

We are all people who can no longer see purpose in being alive!

A group of eight yakuza whose sole purpose in life is to protect Overhaul, at all costs. They are considered expendable pawns who exist only to throw themselves away at the whim of their master.

---

• All There in the Manual: The extras of volume 16 reveal, among other things, the looks of Setsuno, Hojo and Tabe without the masks, Rappa's Quirk and Tengai's background.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: All of them, barring Rappa, are this to Overhaul due to the titular man reaching out to them in their darkest moments. To Nemoto, Overhaul was the first genuine person he met, while Tabe, Setsuno, Hojo were given a second chance in their lives to find purpose despite dealing with a dark and troubled past.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Two of them, Nemoto and Rikiya, show up together with Chronostasis when Overhaul is first introduced looking over the mangled Team Reservoir Dogs' corpses, and they show up again later with Mimic and Chronostasis to help out against the League of Villains.
• Elite Mook: They do not seem to occupy a place much higher than normal grunts in their hierarchy, but they are definitely far stronger and much more dangerous since they don't care whether they live or die.
• Embodiment of Vice: In Buddhism, the Eight Precepts are a set of strict moral guidelines to be followed by the most serious of adherents. Each member violates a Precept through their Quirk or their personality:
  • Rappa is a corruption of the first precept, "I undertake the precept to refrain from destroying living creatures"— He has a bloodthirsty nature and an intense excitement for fights.
  • Setsuno is a corruption of the second precept, "I undertake the precept to refrain from taking that which is not given"— his Quirk allows him to steal anything as long as it's small enough.
  • Rikiya is a corruption of the third precept, "I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual activity"— his Quirk works by stealing other people's essence through physical contact to make himself bigger. Not to mention, he fights against an all-female team when he appears.
  • Nemoto is a corruption of the fourth precept, "I undertake to abstain from false speech"— his Quirk forces everyone around him to tell the truth, making him the only person able to lie.
  • Deidoro is a corruption of the fifth precept, "I undertake the precept to refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness"— his Quirk causes others to enter a state similar to intoxication, and he's The Alcoholic as well.
  • Tabe is a corruption of the sixth precept, "I undertake the precept to refrain from eating at the forbidden time"— his Quirk allows him to eat and digest anything he wishes.
  • Hojo is a corruption of the seventh precept, "I undertake the precept to refrain from dancing, singing, music, going to see entertainments, wearing garlands, using perfumes, and beautifying the body with cosmetics."— his Quirk generates gemstones, which are often seen as valuable and pretty, that decorate his body.
  • Tengai is a corruption of the eighth precept, "I undertake the precept to refrain from lying on a high or luxurious sleeping place"— his Quirk makes him able to hide in a "high and luxurious place"- that is, his Barriers. Additionally, translating the components of his name gets "The Canopy Wall", and a canopy is, again, a "high and luxurious place".
• Plague Doctor: Most of them keep up with the motif, as set by their higher-ups, but some, namely Hojo and Tabe, don't.
• True Companions: Several Bullets have this only in regards to each other, as they know that, to Overhaul, they're only tools. The exception to this is Rappa, who doesn't care for any of his fellow Bullets or Overhaul.
• Undying Loyalty: With the exception of Rappa, all of them are willing to die in order to give Overhaul time to escape with all he needs, a sentiment he does not share in the slightest, but most of them don't mind.
• We Have Reserves: They're all willing to become Cannon Fodder if they have to. Of note, when two of the current members first appear, there is another mook in a double-pointed hat and plague mask who looks like he might be part of the group when the Eight Bullets appear, but is really just there to serve as a Human Shield and becomes Shigaraki's first onscreen victim of the full disintegrating effects of his Decay Quirk. Nemoto and Rikiya also end up ultimately serving this fate as fuel for Overhaul's One-Winged Angel forms. It seems like if somebody dies in the hierarchy, someone new just takes their place to fill the vacancy.

Quirk: Confession

Rank: C

^{Click to see his face}

"Emotions are unnecessary burdens if things are to proceed smoothly. You should know that better than anyone."

A man who is completely devoted to Overhaul. His Quirk, "Confession", forces people to answer his questions honestly.

---

• And I Must Scream: After being merged together with Overhaul, the head of his body, reduced to one of Overhaul's right hands, is revealed to not only be capable of speech and use of his Quirk but is also still aware of everything that's going on around him, cursing Eri for his current predicament.
• Armor-Piercing Question: A favored tactic for throwing off his opponent is to ask them questions that they have no choice but to answer and use that to probe for psychological weaknesses.
• Back from the Dead: Potentially returned to life when Eri inadvertently de-fused him from Overhaul.
• Batman Gambit: Knowing Mirio's attachment and vow to protect Eri, Nemoto opts to shoot at the young girl instead of Mirio, fully expecting Mirio to take the bullet. Mirio does just that.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: Even more so than the other Bullets, Nemoto is entirely devoted to Overhaul and wishes to be by his side when the yakuza make their return. It's hinted that Overhaul was the first one to genuinely want Nemoto's company, even if only because his Quirk and skills are useful for his end goal:
  Overhaul: Join me. It'll be reassuring to have you with me.
  Nemoto: Those were his true feelings.
• Body Horror: After fusing with Overhaul, Nemoto's face and its features apparently become part of one of Overhaul's hands.
• Break Them by Talking: His strategy includes using his Quirk to bring up as many Dark Secrets and insecurities his enemy might have and weaken them psychologically with it.
• Combat Pragmatist: Not being able to attack with his Quirk, he carries a handgun around when a fight seems inevitable.
• Cynicism Catalyst: His Quirk allows him to see that most people hide their true selves and are disingenuous. It's part of the reason he's so loyal to Overhaul because he knows he is sincere about his thoughts. Tragically, this is largely why Nemoto has become so distrustful of everyone else, largely because people avoid him so that they can protect their hidden depths.
• Determinator: Despite being blindsided by Mirio's super move and pummeled into unconsciousness afterwards, Nemoto manages to crawl all the way to the final confrontation in order to support his master.
• Explaining Your Power to the Enemy: Invoked; his Quirk can make people explain their Quirks so the Hassaikai are aware of their capabilities.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Outside his costume he wears glasses, and he's quite a cold and ruthless person as a result of his Cynicism Catalyst.
• Fusion Dance: Overhaul uses his ability to destroy both himself and Shin to reconstruct themselves into a single monster.
• Informed Attribute: He, unlike most of the other Hassaikai, has a longstanding criminal record as a con man of many offenses and was scouted out on purpose. That's just his bio from what Mirio knows about him.
• Living Lie Detector: Inverted. As long as he is the one asking the questions, only truths will come out.
• Logical Weakness: Nemoto's Quirk is absolutely terrifying since he can force people to reveal the truth unconditionally and use that knowledge to psychologically damage them in a fight. However, his Quirk also suffers from a few notable side effects which end up being exploited during the arc:
  • Nemoto's Quirk suffers from Exact Words. When he asks Toga and Twice if Shigaraki had told them to betray the Hissaikai, they both answered no, which is technically true, as Shigaraki never directly told them to do so. Shigaraki just trusted them to betray the yakuza on their own, which they do impulsively, just as Shigaraki planned.
  • While his strategy of breaking his foe's will to fight by bringing up their insecurities is a viable one, he doesn't have a fallback plan if they can overcome it. During his fight with Mirio, Nemoto throws out his hesitation to save Eri earlier in the arc in order to trip him off so he can't go intangible. However, Mirio, who has already beating himself up over his indecision and has vowed to make up for it and protect Eri now, is able to No-Sell Nemoto's attempt to break him. This leads to Mirio beating Nemoto to a pulp once his favored tactic goes out the window.
• Non-Action Guy: Nemoto doesn't have a Quirk suitable for fighting, so he has to rely on a pistol and Deidoro to help him out.
• Only Friend: He seems to be the only member of Overhaul's Bullets who isn't trying to be expendable, just helping Overhaul out of true loyalty and companionship to him.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He believes himself to be above the others in his group due to his Quirk, and calls himself the only one worthy of following their boss due to knowing the real truth of Overhaul's agenda, even using the Plague Doctor motif of his bosses. His belief is implied to be at least somewhat genuine, as Overhaul called him a comrade in the past and even called out for him during his fight with Mirio.
• They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: Unlike many villains in the setting, Nemoto looks completely normal and unassuming out of his costume, which makes sense given he's a former conman and would have needed an trustworthy appearance to operate.
• Truth Serums: His Quirk, effectively making his voice the "serum".
• Undying Loyalty: Nemoto is absolutely loyal to Overhaul to the point the two seem to be actual friends as opposed to a master controlling his pawn. Overhaul is aware of this and kills him for more power because of it, saying to himself that Nemoto would've gladly given his life.
• What the Hell Are You?: Nemoto's reaction to Mirio getting over his emotional guilt, fighting three on one, having his Quirk erased, getting injured multiple times, and still managing to overpower Overhaul is this in its entirety.

Rikiya Katsukame

Rikiya Katsukame

Voiced by: Hiroaki Okuda (Japanese), Chris Guerrero (English)

Debut: Chapter 125 (Manga), Episode 62 (Anime)

Quirk: Vitality Stealing

Rank: C

"You've got me all worked up.. Ohhhh man... What do you people want?!"

A huge muscular man who battles Ryukyu, Nejire, Uraraka, and Tsuyu outside the Shie Hassaikai base. His Quirk is "Vitality Stealing", and it allows him to inhale and absorb others' stamina after touching them, increasing his size.

---

• Always a Bigger Fish: He comes bursting onto the scene, large, hulking and very imposing, and is the first person to engage in physical violence in the raid on the yakuza. Then Ryukyu reveals her Quirk and transforms into an even more gigantic dragon, which takes him down in one blow. Even when he gets jacked up on a booster to level the playing field, he still is unable to surmount Ryukyu, though it does come to a stalemate for as long as the drug is still active and it takes the other girls interning under her to assist the pro hero.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Give him enough time to grow bigger and a booster shot for his Quirk, and Rikiya can become as big as Ryuku in her dragon form.
• Big Brother Instinct: According to second databook, he has this towards Chisaki.
• Body Horror: Overhaul completely disfigures his body after fusing with him, turning both Overhaul and Rikiya into a complete abomination.
• Bouncer: He's the gatekeeper of the yakuza, the mightiest in stature among them, and the first wave to react if somebody comes after his boss.
• The Brute: Easily the tallest and meatiest of the Eight Bullets, and he can grow even bigger. He causes incredible destruction with every punch.
• Don't Wake the Sleeper: When the raid on the yakuza begins, Rikiya quickly proves he treasures his beauty sleep. He went berserk simply because it was too early in the morning to be bothered with such a ruckus.
• Dumb Muscle: He's not very clever, because he's mostly just a brute force attacker who has no real way of defending himself, gets one-shotted before being boosted by a drug, and easily outwitted by Ryukyu and the U.A. girls interning under her in a tag-team assault.
• Dynamic Entry: Two; his debut, where he smashes through the League of Villains' choice of a hideout in response to threats leveled at his boss, then again after being tackled by Ryuku, completely interrupting a major fight with Overhaul.
• Fusion Dance: After Overhaul becomes separated from Nemoto, he tries to fuse once again, but with an unconscious Rikiya this time.
• Glass Cannon: Without a booster to strengthen his resilience, he's quickly defeated. The first instance one pro hero by herself easily overwhelms him, and even after he recovers and grows stronger, once his drug boost wears off, Rikiya very quickly loses in a 1-vs-4 battle.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: He's mildly sexist, demeaningly referring to Nejire as a "cutie-pie" and being surprised when the "broads" he's fighting can still move.
• Sapient Steed: Played with, because he's human. He's essentially Mimic's steed when Mimic is in his puppet form.
• Sizeshifter: Rikiya's Quirk is "Vitality Stealing", which makes it where if he takes hold of somebody and inhales, he suctions their life force and grows bigger and stronger, exponentially so with each use of his Quirk. However, it does wear off after a while.
• Shout-Out: He resembles a mix between Bane and Juggernaut. He even gets a power-boosting drug akin to Bane's Venom.
• Stone Wall: Double subverted. First, he goes down from one attack by Ryukyu. Then, his booster drug activates and it takes over twenty minutes to corral him, with the heroes and police waiting for it to wear off.
• There Was a Door: This guy wrecks everything in his path, even his own hideout, if it stands between him and his enemy. A lot of it has to do with being a very touchy fella.
• Touch of Death: Downplayed. He can steal vitality on contact, but he doesn't have instant killing power.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Being thrown into the belly of the yakuza hideout by Ryukyu created a moment of opportunity for the heroes to launch a counter-offensive against Overhaul and also caused Eri to discover how to use her Quirk when it flung up Mirio's cape and awakened a resolve inside of her.
• Vacuum Mouth: One half of the requirements for drawing in someone's vitality and growing bigger is him inhaling while close to them, the other being touching them. While under the effects of Trigger, he only needs to inhale near them.
• Vampiric Draining: Kinda like a mosquito, Rikiya saps someone of their vitality to grow stronger.
• Victory Fakeout: For one of Overhaul's eight elites, Rikiya seems to go down almost too easy... then a booster he got from Irinaka kicks in. He promptly wakes up and his Quirk becomes strong enough for 20 minutes to use simply by inhaling, not having to touch people. Within mere moments, he's vampired away energy from everyone in his vicinity, which causes him to grow, and he breaks free of his restraints almost immediately.

"Bwa ha ha! Feeling drunk, are ya?! Hic... like... you... can't... stand up... can't stand up... straiiight?! Same here, man!! Which's why I ain't walking around down there! Better stay away from me, or you'll get just as plastered!!"

An alcoholic member of the Eight Bullets. His Quirk, "Sloshed", causes anyone who approaches him to lose their sense of balance, almost as if they were drunk.

---

• The Alcoholic: Typical of a guy with the Sloshed Quirk. His mask is made specifically so he can drink booze and Ceiling Cling at the same time, not to mention the fact that he's drinking booze while fighting!
• Ambiguous Situation: The reason he stays up on the ceiling is because he's too drunk to walk on the ground. Whether this is because he's affected his own Quirk or he's just drunk too much booze is unclear. It may even be a little of both.
• Ceiling Cling: Combined with Death from Above, he clings to the ceiling to stay out of sight until he needs to show himself and catch opponents off-guard.
• Cool Mask: Deidoro's mask has drains fitted inside the eyeholes so he can drink his booze while hanging upside down and not drown himself.
• Deadpan Snarker: Shows some shades of this. When Nemoto misses a shot at Mirio with his gun, he offhandedly remarks he must be drunk himself. Nemoto angrily whacks the beer bottle out of his hands in response.
• Flat Character: Out of all the Eight Bullets, he's the one with the least characterization. We know he's an alchoholic and that's about it.
• Sensory Overload: Deidoro's Quirk in a nutshell. He can influence his target's sense of balance to the extent that it seems like they are drunk.

Garbage Trio

In General

Left to right: Hojo, Tabe, and Setsuno.

"We all threw our lives away long ago!"

-Setsuno

The unofficial name for a trio of yakuza (Toya Setsuno, Yu Hojo, and Soramitsu Tabe) that have completely given up on life and are very close to one another. During the heroes raid, they face Tamaki Amajiki, Suneater, alone.

---

• And Then What?: During their fight, Tamaki remarks that whether or not the Garbage Trio manages to defeat him, there's nowhere they can escape, so they'll be thrown in jail no matter what. But Hojo simply remarks that they don't care about their futures at all anymore; if they can help their boss in any way, they'll do it without question.
• Dark and Troubled Past: All of them have suffered greatly, only to be uplifted by Overhaul:
  • Setsuno attempted suicide after he was left with crushing debt by his ex who also cheated on him. His attempted suicide was foiled by a hero, but without any outside assistance, Setsuno saw his suffering only prolonged and became depressed.
  • Hojo was used to create gems with his Quirk before he was discarded when it was determined that the crystals he created are worthless counterfeits, and was nearly beaten to death by his old colleagues afterwards.
  • Tabe was ostracized from society due to his uncontrollable hunger and strange behavior and treated like trash by most of the people he interacted with.
  Hojo: Some got tossed aside when they don't mesh with society. Another was betrayed by a lover and beset with crushing debt. Not even allowed to die, he survived sucking down water from the gutter. And another became a tool for a simple money-grubber. And when that pig realized my fake gems were worthless, we were deemed just as worthless and beaten to hell and back.
• Despair Event Horizon: They all crossed it a long time ago due to their individual dark and troubled pasts.
• True Companions: It's heavily implied that they all knew each other before meeting Overhaul and that they were there for each other during the hard times. The ULTRA ANALYSIS Character Book reveals that they all were even sent to the same prison.
• Undying Loyalty: Because Overhaul reached out to them and treated them decently while they were at their lowest, they are fanatically devoted to his cause.

Quirk: Larceny

Rank: C

^{Click to see his face}

"We'd given up on life, y'see!! When we tried to kill ourselves by leaping to our deaths... a hero caught us! Can ya imagine our despair?! We didn't see the point in living anymore! There's no way you'd understand!"

A self-deprecating man that battles Tamaki, along with Tabe and Hojo. His Quirk is "Larceny", which lets him instantly move objects into his hands.

---

• Bungled Suicide: Setsuno mentions that he tried to kill himself but a hero saved him. This resulted in him falling in further despair.
• Combat Pragmatist: He has no problem taking on Tamaki three on one, and openly uses weapons against his opponents. Besides the knife in his mask, Setsuno intended to steal the police officers' guns so as to use them against their owners.
• Death Seeker: Implied. Even after the hero task force leaves Tamaki back to deal with him and his compatriots, he wants them to come back in order to fight him to the death.
• Hidden Weapons: Setsuno hides a knife in his mask and uses it to attack Tamaki via a headbutt when he is pinned down.
• Impossible Thief: He is capable of instantly stealing anything a target possesses with his Larceny Quirk. However, it must be something within his view and small enough to fit in his hand.
• Katanas Are Just Better: Since his Quirk is not useful for directly attacking people, just disarming them, Setsuno initially wields an old fashioned katana to attack the police force.
• Logical Weakness: Larceny only works if Setsuno can see the object he intends to take. Tamaki takes advantage of this to blind him temporarily by flicking crystal fragments into his face in order to pull off a heroic second wind against the trio.
• Meaningful Name: The "Setsu" of Setsuno means "To steal".
• Self-Deprecation: Setsuno doesn't hold himself in high regard and calls the entire group human trash, showing how expendable they are.

Quirk: Crystallization

Rank: C

^{Click to see his face}

"Even trash like us have pride. When given a job... you can bet we'll come through!!"

A stoic man that battles Tamaki, along with Tabe and Setsuno. Thanks to his Quirk, "Crystallization", his body is capable of growing crystal-like protrusions.

---

• Bald of Evil: Hojo is bald.
• The Brute: In the trio, Hojo has the most physical Quirk, and he's the one that first directly confronts Tamaki in a melee.
• Clothing Damage: Over the course of his battle, Hojo quickly shreds his clothes as he grows more crystals.
• Gemstone Assault: Hojo's Quirk allows him to grow reflective crystals from his body. It's similar to Kirishima's Hardening, in a way.
• Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Hojo is particularly prone to remark that Tamaki, as a hero, is unable to understand the self-loathing and desperation the Garbage Trio all feel, as well as the bond they created with each other as a group of unwanted outcasts. This is subverted as Tamaki not only understands but also respects the bond they have.
• Meaningful Name: The "Hou" in Houjou (another reading of Hojo) is the kanji for "Houseki", meaning "jewel/gem", while "Yuu" contains a kanji of "kesshou", which means "crystallization".
• Mighty Glacier: His Quirk allows him to bolster his physical defense and offense by creating gem shields or swords, but he can't move that swiftly as a result.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: A non-fatal example. Hojo once used his Quirk to create gems that his boss would then sell. When his boss realized that the gems were monetarily worthless, he threw Hojo out.

Soramitsu Tabe

Soramitsu Tabe

Debut: Chapter 138 (Manga), Episode 70 (Anime)

Quirk: Food

Rank: C

^{Click to see his face}

"Eat!! Eat!! Eat!! Eat!!"

A nearly feral man that battles Tamaki, along with Setsuno and Hojo. Tabe's Quirk is "Food", and it allows him to eat and instantly digest anything he can bite into.

---

• Ax-Crazy: Tabe acts less like a human and more like a perpetually hungry animal.
• Extreme Omnivore: Tabe's "Food" allows him to devour and digest anything in his way instantly.
• Ironic Name: The "Mitsu" in Tabe's surname means "satisfied", which is ironic because he's never full.
• Meaningful Name: "Tabe" means "To eat".
• Nightmare Face: Tabe has a very large mouth with big teeth that look very unnatural. Not to mention his constantly bulging eyes.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: He has almost no lines, a goofy appearance, and gets knocked out by Aizawa within seconds, making him seems like a fodder villain. Then he wakes up, tears open his mask to reveal his gaping maw, and swiftly turns the battle against Tamaki by chomping through his attacks.
• Pet the Dog: When Hojo is thrown in the way of Tabe, Tabe closes his mouth so as to not eat his friend, something Tamaki was relying on in order to achieve victory. Friends don't eat friends, after all.
• The Quiet One: Tabe only speaks to express how tasty Tamaki's octopus tentacles are, and even then it's barely two words.

The Shield and Spear

In General

Left to right: Rappa and Tengai.

"We are a spear and shield... up against two shields."

-Tengai

A duo comprised of Kendo Rappa and Hekiji Tengai, both of whom face Kirishima and Fat Gum together. Rappa acts as a spear by dishing out Armor Piercing Attacks, while Tengai acts as a shield by creating Barriers with his Quirk.

---

• Brains and Brawn: Tengai and Rappa, respectively. Tengai calmly uses logic to see what's happening, while Rappa just wants to fight the enemy.
• Dual Boss: More like dual midboss, but still applicable. Rappa and Tengai fight as a unit despite not really liking each other. Rappa deals damage with his attacks, while Tengai protects them both with his barriers, making for a fearsome combo.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Rappa is a hot-headed Blood Knight while Tengai is a cold and calm barrier warrior. This is in fact deliberatly enforced: Tengai was brought in so that he could be a level head to reign in Rappa, essentially serving as his handler.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: They don't really like each other and have different ways to approach a situation and even how they treat Overhaul. While Rappa shows a level of disdain for him and wants to beat everyone into a pulp, Tengai looks up to Overhaul and openly defends him while seeking the optimized way to defeat an opponent. Despite that, they still manage to work together perfectly well and bring down enemies while fighting between themselves.

Kendo Rappa

Kendo Rappa — The Rapper

Voiced by: Shouhei Kajikawa (Japanese), Eric Rolon (English)

Debut: Chapter 138 (Manga), Episode 70 (Anime)

Playable in: My Hero One's Justice 2

Quirk: Strongarm

Rank: B

^{Click to see his face in Vigilantes}

"I think... there's something real tasteless about bringing a gun or a knife to a fight. Whoever's got the weapon wins, right? That ain't a real fight. Men're meant to rip each other apart with their own power. You feel me?"

A hot-blooded man with a strong warrior-like mentality. He and Tengai fight Fat Gum and Kirishima using his Quirk, "Strongarm", which allows him to move his shoulders at an extreme speed and power, giving him fast and strong punches.

---

• Affably Evil: Unlike the rest of the Hassaikai, who at their best put on a facade of politeness while holding absolute contempt for heroes underneath, Rappa is actually pretty personable for somebody who absolutely loves deathmatches. He genuinely compliments people when they do things he likes, and when he ends up losing to Fat Gum and Kirishima, he goes ahead and helps them find an infirmary to treat their wounds, so that they can get better and have the potential to grow stronger and eventually give him another satisfying fight in the future.
• Armor-Piercing Attack: Rappa is strong enough to completely breakthrough Kirishima's "Unbreakable" form in one punch. He can also pierce straight through Fat Gum's fat with ease.
• Blasphemous Boast: During his days in the Underground masquarade, the announcer gave one on his behalf.
  Announcer: If he meets God, he punches God. If he meets the Buddha, he punches the Buddha. If he meets you? I'll give you one guess what you're getting!
• Blessed with Suck: By his own estimates, his Quirk, as it makes him able to be so strong that he has trouble finding any worthwhile combatants.
• Blood Knight: Even more than the others, Rappa throws himself cheerfully into battle and enjoys the opportunity to face opponents who aren't immediately crushed by his fists, and he even tries to attack his partner Tengai when his barriers interfere with the fight. He openly admits that he has no real loyalty towards Overhaul and only follows him for an opportunity to fight him again.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality:
  • Rappa only respects the people who have proven themselves to be strong, regardless of whether they are supposed to be his allies or enemies. He hates Tengai who doesn't have any interest in a full-blown fight but grows to respect Fat Gum and Kirishima's strength and determination in battle to the point of telling them about an infirmary close by to heal their wounds and let them tie up Tengai to arrest him later.
  • He disdains the use of anything but one's own body and Quirk in battle. This has nothing to do with the lethality of the tools being brought to bear and everything to do with the fact that he hates the idea that a fight can be ended in one good hit instead of a knock-down drag-out battle. This is despite the fact that plenty of Quirks can end a fight nearly instantly, his own included.
• Boring, but Practical: His Quirk basically switches how his shoulder sockets work to allow greater speed and power to them thanks to how he rotates it. It's a simple Quirk that he uses to enhance his powers greatly.
• Boxing Battler: Rappa's preferred fighting style since his Quirk can only enhance his punches. It's more than enough.
• The Brute: Like Katsukami, his main contribution to the Eight Bullets is his raw physical power and insane damage output, which is enough to break through Kirishima's Unbreakable mode and Fat Gum's protective girth.
• Challenge Seeker: He wants a death match between equals, as it helps him to feel powerful.
  Rappa: Most of my opponents went down with a single punch and didn't get back up. The ones who didn't just started begging for their lives. You know what that's like? Hoping for a challenge, and always walking away unsatisfied? You're never more powerful than when your life is at stake! That's why the best fight is a death match between equals!
• Connected All Along: The underground fight club he fought with was revealed to be a front for All For One's operation, and presumably the same one Hood was farmed from. He was also "friends" with Mirko.
• Death Seeker: An odd version. He doesn't consider a fight properly completed unless either he or his opponent is dead. He really wants Kirishima to get well soon so they can have a real fight to the death sometime in the future.
• Expressive Mask: In the anime, the lower "lids" on his mask curve up when Fat Gum gets him excited to fight, and he feels that Fat Gum understands what he's about.
• Fiery Redhead: He has light-red hair and is obsessed with fighting strong opponents.
• Graceful Loser: Rappa doesn't care who wins the fight, as long either he or his opponent is dead by the end of it. During his fight with Fat Gum, he smiles as Fat Gum begins to overpower him and even tells Tengai to cut it with the barrier since there's no way it'll block Fat Gum's onslaught. While he doesn't count this as a true loss since neither him nor Fat Gum are dead, he happily helps Fat Gum and Kirishima by pointing them to an infirmary so they can heal up and hopefully fight again later.
• Hero of Another Story: Hero is a stretch, but in the past in Vigilantes, he helps O'Clock alongside Mirko to help people who ended up unknowingly being part of All For One's scheme.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Rotating your shoulders quickly sounds about as useful and deadly as making mochi or creating zippers. It is.
• Lethal Harmless Powers: In an odd take, the lethal part of the power is made clear before the harmless part. On paper, "Strongarm" sounds like a neat party trick at best, but the audience sees how brutal it is in action long before reading its rather lackluster description. In Rappa's hands, it's so lethal that he was able to become an undefeated champion in a series of super-powered Death Matches before joining the yakuza.
• Mad Libs Catchphrase: He likes referring to people as "a great X" e.g. "a great fat guy; a great recluse" whenever they say or do something that he likes.
• Malicious Misnaming: Played with. Rappa purposely disses Overhaul's name not to rile up Overhaul himself, but to aggravate his partner Tengai instead. While Tengai always calls Overhaul "Master Overhaul",^note "Overhaul-sama" in the original Japanese; "-sama" is the most respectful honorific Rappa calls Overhaul "Overjerk" and "Overhole" instead, much to the latter's annoyance.
• Masked Luchador: In his time with the Underground Masquarade, he wore a mask with a similar design and his personality fits with the more malevolent depictions of the trope. He kept most of the design when he came to work for Overhaul, simply adding a section to cover the mouth to fit with the plague mask motif.
• Meaningful Name:
  • "Rappa" means "Ruffian/Hooligan", which refers to his background. "Ken" refers to shoulder and "Dou" means "To move", which are related to his Quirk.
  • Played with regarding the name he went by in the Underground Masqurade. He doesn't produce or perform rap music, as the title of "rapper" would indicate. However, the original and older meaning of rap is "to strike with a series of audible blows," and he definitly does a lot of that.
• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Rappa's Quirk allows him to dish these out and been shown to even damage Kirishima and Fat Gum.
• Strict Parents Make Sneaky Kids: According to his backstory, his parents were said to be very strict, and that he went to the Underground fights as a way to rebel against them.
• Super-Strength: Rappa demonstrates this, which even damages Fat Gum's tanking and Kirishima's "Unbreakable" mode.
• Villain Respect: Rappa respects Fat Gum and Kirishima's strength and determination in battle to the point of helping them out, though he considers the battle a draw since it was a fight to the death and all involved survived.
• Worthy Opponent:
  • Seems to see Kirishima this way.
  Rappa: I called him a kid, but I was wrong: he's a man.
  • He also shows traces of this to Mirko in Vigilantes as well, and it seems the respect is mutual, when she states that she'll save her less painful attacks for guys like him.

Quirk: Barrier

Rank: C

"Do not submit to selfish desires. And do not forget Master Overhaul's orders. We make the perfect team. Our combined strength is more than capable of bringing them down."

A Buddhist man who's paired with Rappa in the battle between them and Fat Gum and Kirishima. His Quirk, "Barrier", allows him to create defensive barriers.

---

• All There in the Manual: His Quirk's name was first confirmed in the ULTRA ANALYSIS Character Book.
• Awesomeness by Analysis: He realizes Fat Gum is up to something when all he does is stand there and tank Rappa's battering assault. However, by the time he realizes what's truly going on, it's too late.
• Barrier Warrior: Tengai's Quirk is to create barriers in order to support his partner. He is the "shield" to Rappa's "spear".
• Churchgoing Villain: Prior to entering the Haissakai, he had vowed to serve Buddha and still maintains the posture and behaviors expected of a monk in his work as a yakuza.
• Eyes Always Shut: Tengai keeps his eyes shut in a zen pose of concentration about 75% of the time because he is a tranquil person unless deeply aggravated and needs focus to channel his barriers. He opens his eyes in moments of surprise, curiosity (he opens one eye in incredulity), or annoyance.
• Meaningful Name: "Tengai" refers to a dome as well as to the hoods used by certain monks (referring to his religious past and Holier Than Thou attitude). "Heki" means "Wall", referring to his Quirk.
• Not So Stoic: He does break his calm stance when Rappa both attempts to help Fat Gum and Kirishima and leaks what he knows of Overhaul's plans.
• The Stoic: He never raises his voice or changes his tranquil temperament. Not when he is arguing with Rappa, not when Rappa attacks him, and not when Fat Gum is about blow him across the room.
• Stopped Caring: Zigzagged. After Rappa starts attacking him because of their disagreements on a singular strategy, Tengei just completely forgoes reasoning with him entirely, and lets him do whatever he wants. Even so, he is fully prepared to erect a barrier around his violent partner if actual danger pops up.
• Underestimating Badassery: He believes Fat Gum and Kirishima to be two shields who stand no chance against him and Rappa. Then he dismisses Kirishima as unfit to even be a shield. His surprise to when Fat Gum reveals his Quirk's true gimmick and Kirishima standing up to Rappa is fitting to say the least.

"You haven't touched these toys yet? After we went to the trouble of buying them for you... Why not let yourself have some fun, for once? Cuz if you don't, I'll be the next one they're mopping off the walls, you brat!"

A man that Overhaul has designated to be Eri's new caretaker, much to his displeasure.

---

• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: He tries patting Eri's head, but he does it rather roughly, so it doesn't make her feel better.
• Eyes Out of Sight: His hair completely covers his eyes.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: His dialogue is littered with profanity.
• Slasher Smile: He's trying to gain Eri's trust acting friendly toward her, but his creepy, forced smile only makes her fear him more.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He only makes a few appearances in the story before disappearing and isn't even named, but he unintentionally provides the heroes with the information necessary to launch their assault on the Shie Hassaikai.
• Stepford Smiler: He forces a smile when he's around Eri to appear more friendly, but it only makes him look scarier.
• You Have Failed Me: Hasn't happened yet, but he is very aware that Overhaul will turn him into a red splatter on the wall if he fails at taking care of Eri or lets her escape.
