History Characters / MyHeroAcademiaOverhaul

* EvilVirtues: Believe it or not, gratitude and (a warped idea of) love. Overhaul is sincerely grateful to his adoptive father, the boss of the Shie Hassaikai, for taking him in as a child, and wants the Hassaikai to rise to its former glory for his sake. So much that he was willing to put the boss in a coma when said boss disapproved of his methods for making Quirk-erasure bullets, believing what he was doing was in the boss's best interests. [[spoiler:When he loses both arms courtesy of Mr. Compress and Shigaraki, his first horrified thought is not that he's lost his Quirk, but that he can't heal the boss of the coma he put him in.]]

* BeautyIsBad: He is Bishonen, but mysophobic and antisocial sociopath.

* {{Bishonen}}: Downplayed. He's tall and has an androgynous face, with thin eyebrows, narrow eyes, prominent eyelashes, a short, narrow nose, and a pointed chin. His build, however, is actually large and muscular as seen in his ShirtlessScene, though not to the extent of All Might or Endeavor.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[TroubledChild In more]] [[ManipulativeBastard ways than]] [[ColdBloodedTorture one, unfortunately.]] He not only has been repeatedly taking Eri's blood in a very painful process but also callously tells Mirio that he has subjected her to mortal injury and used his Quirk to reassemble her at least once, to say ''nothing'' of the deliberate emotional torment he has forcibly inflicted on her throughout the years.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[TroubledChild In more]] [[ManipulativeBastard ways than]] [[ColdBloodedTorture one, unfortunately.]] He not only has been repeatedly taking Eri's blood in a very painful process but also callously tells Mirio that he has subjected her to mortal injury and used his Quirk to reassemble her at least once, to say nothing of the deliberate emotional torment he has forcibly inflicted on her throughout the years.

* {{Foil}}:
** Both Overhaul and Shigaraki have TouchOfDeath powers, lead groups of villains, and want to take the spot of All For One as king of the underworld. However, Shigaraki is a PsychopathicManchild who often relies on sheer strength to solve a problem, ignoring the idea of making complex plans or seeking any gain that is not simply to take All For One's spot, while Overhaul is levelheaded, keeps a calm tone all the time and has a bigger plan to take over, which includes large sums of money or getting Shigaraki's "overhyped villains". Both hide their faces, but while Overhaul still seems to have a relatively normal face that shows seriousness and calm, has dark hair and clear eyes, Shigaraki's hand covers all of his face beside his eyes and is way creepier, has gray hair and red eyes. Overhaul's costume includes gloves and a plague doctor's mask because he hates being touched by people, while Shigaraki's entire motif is being covered by hands. Shigaraki, while skeptical at first, eventually learned to accept his teammates as TrueCompanions, while Overhaul sees his as expendable pawns and would even [[BadBoss kill them]] for minor infractions. [[spoiler:Both of them are also obsessed with living up to their adoptive father figures, but Shigaraki obeys All For One even when he disagrees with him, while Overhaul is willing to cripple his yakuza father figure out of a misguided desire to show him that his way is the best way to look out for his interests]].
** Mirio and Overhaul are both introduced at around the same time and demonstrate their potential to become the next BigGood and BigBad, respectively, over their chosen successors. However, their circumstances couldn't be more different. While Midoriya looks up to Mirio, to the point where he questions his right to have One For All, Shigaraki absolutely despises Overhaul and has his own motives for working together. [[spoiler:By the end, all Overhaul can do is cry out in despair as Shigaraki cuts his arms off, rendering him effectually Quirkless and takes his life's work for his own gain. Midoriya offers One For All to the now Quirkless Mirio, but the latter declines.]]

''Villains'': [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaVillains Known Villains]] ([[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaLeagueOfVillains League of Villains]] [[[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaAllForOne All For One]], [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaTomuraShigaraki Tomura Shigaraki]], [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaDabi Dabi]], [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaHimikoToga Himiko Toga]], [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaArtificialHumans Artificial Humans]]], [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaShieHassaikai Shie Hassaikai]] ['''Overhaul'''], [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaMetaLiberationArmy Meta Liberation Army]], [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaParanormalLiberationFront Paranormal Liberation Front]])\\

* BerserkButton: He is Bishonen, but mysophobic and antisocial sociopath.

* BeautyIsBad: Overhaul

* BerserkButton:

* ExactWords: He believes that the sick villains must be cured [[spoiler:and this is exactly what he has done to Reservoir Dogs, by healing them from their diseases after defeating them.]]

** Overdependence on his Quirk. [[{{Hypocrite}} For all his preaching about Quirks being a disease, Overhaul is overly dependent on his own.]] As shown in his fight with Mirio, Overhaul is sorely lacking in close quarters combat. Even after erasing Mirio's Quirk, Overhaul still can't land a hit on him without the use of his Quirk. [[spoiler:In revenge for removing one of Mr. Compress' arms and the death of Magne, Shigaraki removes both of Overhaul's arms, leaving him a "helpless, Quirkless, worthless man".]]

* ArcVillain: As the leader of the Shie Hassaikai, he serves as the primary antagonist of the Internship Arc and the shadow of his actions toward Eri persists in the Culture Festival arc.

* SanitySlippage: Throughout his fight with Mirio and Deku, whatever was left of his cold, condescending behavior is sent down the drain as he begins to lose mind raving on about Quirks being a disease and holding Eri as the key to curing humanity. By the time of his escape at Tartarus, Overhaul has lost what little sanity he had left due to being unable to heal his boss and has become unstable without his arms.

** Eventually, he's on the other end with [[spoiler:Lady Nagant, the only Tartarus inmate to take pity on him in his broken state, releasing him from his cell and looking after him as she goes after Deku]].

* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:Despite Deku saving him from Nagant's bullet (though she wasn't actually trying to shoot him), he angrily calls Deku a "diseased maggot" and tells him to shut up simply because Deku tried to talk to him]].

* MoreHateableMinorVillain: In the BigBadDuumvirate, Shigaraki is [[spoiler:a TragicVillain]] and BenevolentBoss while All For One has [[EvilIsCool entertaining qualities]] with his intelligence and power. Overhaul, on the other hand, is a despicable {{Jerkass}} who [[BadBoss manipulates, uses and murders his minions without a shred of remorse]] and abuses and tortures Eri, a child, for years while gaslighting her into feeling it's her fault. He also causes [[spoiler:Mirio to briefly lose his Quirk and murders Sir Nighteye, making him the first HeroKiller of a major character in the franchise]].

* LackOfEmpathy: Zigzagged. As shown by his treatment of Eri and his minions in the Hassaikai, Overhaul demonstrates almost no care for anybody around him, willing to sacrifice or kill his subordinates in a heartbeat if it will benefit him or if he's [[YouHaveFailedMe annoyed by their performance]]. His abusive treatment of Eri and utter lack of remorse for his torture and emotional blackmail of her verge on making him TheSociopath, but he does have one, and ''only'' one, person besides himself he cares for: [[spoiler:The Hassaikai's old boss, who adopted Chisaki and tried to give him a better life growing up than he would have had as an orphan. However, even this care wasn't enough to stop Overhaul using his Quirk to put the boss in a ConvenientComa when he felt the boss' NobleDemon tendencies were crippling the Hassaikai and leading to their current decline. On the other hand, when Mr. Compress and Shigaraki remove his hands, and his ability to restore the boss, Overhaul is later shown to be driven utterly mad from grief over his mistake, having thrown away all his ambitions and obsessed with finding the boss' comatose body so he can apologise to him]]. Midoriya actually [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls him out]] over this singular instance of human emotion from him, stating to Overhaul that [[spoiler:he'll help him meet the boss-- but only if he if sincerely apologies to Eri first for the abuse he'd put her through, a concept that Overhaul seems to struggle with]].

* AxCrazy: As if he wasn't vicious enough as he blows off Mr. Compress' arm for merely touching him. He goes straight off the deep end fighting Mirio who has the combat skill to match him and maniacally disgracing his attempts to save Eri. Even against his final opponent Izuku he intends on gaining more power by fusing with his subordinates thus becoming monstrously insane and attacking wildly as if he were a raging animal.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Exploited mercilessly. Despite treating the vast majority of his underlings like expendable pawns, Overhaul's inner circle have UndyingLoyalty towards him because he specifically uplifted them after they crossed the DespairEventHorizon. Nemoto, Hojo, Setsuno, Tabe are the most obvious of these, and the only ones that are able to see through this false empathy are Rappa and the yakuza who are loyal to the old boss. Tamaki likens it to brainwashing.

* CreepyMonotone: He talks like this in the dub whenever he's at least relatively calm, courtesy of Creator/KellenGoff.

* DespairEventHorizon: His total defeat left him completely drained of will, remaining emotionally detached and reacting with an almost dead monotone to Shigaraki when he attacks his police convoy with the intent of getting even with him for what he did to the League. Shigaraki steals his Quirk-destroying bullets right in front of him, then destroys both of his arms, thus removing his Quirk. While horrified, what truly pushes Chisaki well over the horizon is when he realizes that this means he can no longer heal his boss from the coma he put him in, and can only let out a truly heart-wrenching HowlOfSorrow.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Creator/KenjiroTsuda plays him with the husky baritone most people associate with his voice-acting, which lends itself well to Overhaul's menacing aura.

* EvilVirtues: Believe it or not, Gratitude and (a warped idea of) Love. Overhaul is sincerely grateful to his adoptive father, the boss of the Shie Hassaikai, for taking him in as a child, and wants the Hassaikai to rise to its former glory for his sake. So much that he was willing to put the boss in a coma when said boss disapproved of his methods for making Quirk-erasure bullets, believing what he was doing was in the boss's best interests. [[spoiler:When he loses both arms courtesy of Shigaraki and Mr. Compress, his first horrified thought is not that he's lost his Quirk, but that he can't heal the boss of the coma he put him in.]]

** His lack of respect for his underlings becomes a key part of his defeat--or more specifically, failing to understand that Shigaraki ''does'' respect his underlings. [[spoiler:He kills Magne and Shigaraki kills one of his men;]] as far as Overhaul is concerned, they're square. The League hate him for what he did, and Himiko and Twice work against him multiple times after he invited them into his base. The heroes might not have won without Toga and Twice, [[spoiler:and the League definitely wouldn't have been able to intercept the police transport and steal all his hard work]].
** Overdependence on his Quirk. [[{{Hypocrite}} For all his preaching about Quirks being a disease, Overhaul is overly dependent on his own.]] As shown in his fight with Lemillion, Overhaul is sorely lacking in close quarters combat. Even after erasing Lemillion's Quirk, Overhaul still can't land a hit on him without the use of his Quirk. [[spoiler: In revenge for the death of Magne, Shigaraki cuts off Overhaul's arms, leaving him a 'helpless, Quirkless, worthless man'.]]
** Aggression. Overhaul is an extremely dangerous individual, a ruthless criminal kingpin and a genius, but he was too ambitious for his own good. Instead of being patient and waiting for things to cool down after All Might's retirement and All For One's imprisonment, Overhaul quickly tried to take All For One's place as Japan's greatest criminal lord. Unfortunately, his impatience and lack of diplomacy not only gained him attention from Pro Heroes, but also alienated the League of Villains as an ally. He quickly earned many more enemies than he did allies, which was a major contribution to the downfall of his criminal empire.

* HatesBeingTouched: Exaggerated. When Mr. Compress touches him, his mysophobia triggers hives to break out all over his skin. Cue Mr. Compress losing his entire left arm. He also kills Magne while irritably stating that he hates being "so damn dirty". It's implied that this attitude is due to his perception of [[spoiler:Quirks being a side-effect of a disease that has mutated the population, setting off his germophobia when he's in physical contact with "infectious" carriers]].
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler: During his battle with Midoriya, the close proximity to Eri's out-of-control Quirk undoes any damage his [[OneWingedAngel final form]] takes. [[CurbStompBattle It doesn't end up mattering.]]]]

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Officially becomes one when the catastrophic wounds he deals Sir Nighteye are so bad, he dies later that evening -- not even Recovery Girl could help him. It makes Overhaul's LaserGuidedKarma even more deserved.]]

** Utterly disdains the idea of breathing the same air as others without his mask and fully willing to kill people just for having the nerve of ''touching'' him, even if it's just the jacket. Yet when backed in a corner, he doesn't hesitate in the slightest to willingly merge a complete stranger's genetic material into his body or breathe the same air as everyone else the moment his mask becomes his actual mouth, thinking nothing of it. And then when his mask gets knocked off, he starts screaming and continues fighting on; the mask is hinted to be a token of his vanity and degrading sanity after becoming obsessed with sterility as he used to get along just fine without it.

* LackOfEmpathy: Zigzagged. As shown by his treatment of Eri and his minions in the Hassaikai, Overhaul demonstrates almost no care for anybody around him, willing to sacrifice or kill his subordinates in a heartbeat if it will benefit him or if he's [[YouHaveFailedMe annoyed by their performance]]. His abusive treatment of Eri and utter lack of remorse for his torture and emotional blackmail of her verge on making him TheSociopath, but he does have one, and ''only'' one, person besides himself he cares for: [[spoiler:The Hassaikai's old boss, who adopted Chisaki and tried to give him a better life growing up than he would have had as an orphan. However, even this care wasn't enough to stop Overhaul using his quirk to put the boss in a ConvenientComa when he felt the boss' NobleDemon tendencies were crippling the Hassaikai and leading to their current decline. On the other hand, when Tomura and Mr. Compress remove his hands, and his ability to restore the boss, Chisaki is later shown to be driven utterly mad from grief over his mistake, having thrown away all his ambitions and obsessed with finding the boss' comatose body so he can apologise to him]]. Izuku actually [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls him out]] over this singular instance of human emotion from him, stating to Chisaki that [[spoiler:he'd help him meet the boss-- but only if he could sincerely apologise to Eri first for the abuse he'd put her through, a concept that Chisaki seems to struggle with]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: He tormented a little girl for a very long time to mine her of her Quirk, and forced the League of Villains to follow his lead after [[spoiler:he killed Magne and crippled Mr. Compress]]. By the end of the arc, not only is his organization crushed, but after the heroes defeat him, [[spoiler:the League of Villains decide to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown mount an attack against him while he is helpless]] and steal the materials used to make his Quirk nullifying bullets, which were used to remove Mirio's Quirk, and destroy his arms that he needs to use his Quirk, taking away ''everything'' Overhaul ever had and leaving him functionally Quirkless and broken]].
** [[spoiler:When he and Izuku meet again after the fight with Lady Nagant, Izuku promises to help fulfil her deal with Chisaki to meet the boss after he shows his sincere remorse and empathy towards his adoptive father's current condition-- but only if Chisaki can sincerely express that same empathy towards Eri and apologise to her for everything he'd put her through. Chisaki's expression at that statement implies he struggles to grasp the concept, meaning that the same LackOfEmpathy that made him such an abusive monster towards Eri is now the same thing that's denying him his only remaining desire in life]].

* AxCrazy: As if he wasn't viscous enough as he blows off Mr. Compress' arm for merely touching him. He goes straight off the deep end fighting Mirio who has the combat skill to match him and maniacally disgracing his attempts to save Eri. Even against his final opponent Izuku he intends on gaining more power by fusing with his subordinates thus becoming monstrously insane and attacking wildly as if he were a raging animal.

* HealingHands: When he disassembles and then reassembles someone, he resets their body to its base form, healing them of their injuries and curing them of any illnesses.

* SanitySlippage: By the time of his escape at Tartarus, Overhaul has lost what little sanity he had left due to being unable to heal his boss and has become unstable without his arms.

* AmbiguousDisorder: He seems to have some degree of OCD or mysophobia. He gets extremely uncomfortable and violent when someone touches him and he constantly comments about cleanliness and dirtiness.

** He tells Midoriya that Eri's Quirk is dangerous and that she has no control over it. While that doesn't justify his treatment of her, he's right about this. [[spoiler:It's shown in a flashback that Eri's Quirk killed her father, and after Midoriya defeats Overhaul, it nearly kills him before Aizawa stops it.]]
*** It also implies that, beforehand, it is why he has his associates carry her in case her Quirk activates. [[spoiler:When he carries her during a desperate escape, Eri uses Rewind out of instinct to leave herself open to Deku's rescue, cancelling Overhaul's fusion with another minion]].

* HateSink: Overhaul is a ruthless yakuza boss who [[EvilUncle abuses his young ward]], Eri, draining her blood to make Quirk-destroying bullets, reassembling her body when she runs out of blood to give, and calling her a cursed being born to destroy people. The ordeal has traumatized her so much that even after his defeat, she doesn't know how to smile. He [[BadBoss treats his subordinates no better]], using one as a meat shield against Shigaraki, [[YouHaveFailedMe killing another for failure]], and forcing two to become part of his OneWingedAngel forms. He has Nemoto use a Quirk-erasing bullet on [[spoiler:Mirio, destroying the NiceGuy's promising career as a hero]]. Later chapters somewhat downplayed this, as they reveal that [[spoiler:he's a WellIntentionedExtremist who wants his syndicate back to power in hopes of repaying his old boss, but even then, he put his boss in a coma in order to do so because his boss was against his methods. He also despises how heroes and villains use Quirks, berating them as narrow minded, even though he will use his Quirk to murder people for petty reasons. LaserGuidedKarma hits him when Shigaraki and Mr. Compress destroy his arms to avenge Magne's death and the loss of Mr. Compress' left arm.]] Overall, his character deconstructs the trope, because it makes him nothing but enemies when dealing with others, and a common target that people ideologically opposed to each other have no problem prioritising as the bigger problem to take down, [[spoiler:leading to the League of Villains and the heroes technically collaborating to take him down during the raid]].
* HatesBeingTouched: Exaggerated. When Mr. Compress touches him, his mysophobia triggers hives to break out all over his skin. Cue Mr. Compress losing his entire left arm. He also kills Magne while irritably stating that he hates being "so damn dirty". It's implied that this attitude is due to his perception of [[spoiler:quirks being a side-effect of a disease that has mutated the population, setting off his germophobia when he's in physical contact with 'infectious' carriers]].
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler: During his battle with Deku, the close proximity to Eri's out-of-control Quirk undoes any damage his [[OneWingedAngel final form]] takes. [[CurbStompBattle It doesn't end up mattering.]]]]

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KenjiroTsuda (Japanese), Creator/KellenGoff (English), Creator/CaitlinGlass (English, young)

* HealingFactor: [[spoiler: During his battle with Deku, the close proximity to Eri's out-of-control Quirk undoes any damage his [[OneWingedAngel final form]] takes. [[CurbStompBattle It doesn't end up mattering.]]]]
* HealingHands: He can use his quirk as this by reassambling people back to their original state. He mostly uses this on himself. [[spoiler: With one horrifying exception: [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou Ensuring Eri doesn't die during his experiments on her]].]]

* SmallNameBigEgo: A dangerous individual, no doubt, but in a world where organized criminal groups like the yakuza are all but extinct, his reputation as a crime lord falls flat, yet he believes that he'll be the next BigBad. Despite Overhaul himself admitting that the League of Villains has more recognition than the Shie Hassaikai, he still tries to muscle them ''under him'' than as mutual partners.

* HatesBeingTouched: Exaggerated. When Mr. Compress touches him, Overhaul looks ''very'' uncomfortable. Cue Mr. Compress losing his entire left arm. He also kills Magne while irritably stating that he hates being "so damn dirty". It's implied that this attitude is due to his perception of [[spoiler:quirks being a side-effect of a disease that has mutated the population, setting off his germophobia when he's in physical contact with 'infectious' carriers]].

** He ''really'' doesn't like being touched, as Magne found out [[LudicrousGibs the hard way]].
