Chisaki Kai

Review

Review looking down at Midoriya in My Hero Academia.

The main antagonist of the Shie Hassaikai Arc, Chisaki Kai (or Overhaul) was the leader of the Yakuza organization Shie Hassaikai. His quirk allowed him to dismantle and rebuild people and objects with a single touch. It is undoubtedly a powerful Quirk with offensive and healing capabilities, but Overhaul used it to intimidate, injure and kill.

Overhaul wanted to erase Quirks from the world and used a little girl named Eri to create Quirk-destroying drugs. His plans failed and he was sent to Tartarus, losing his hands (and the ability to use his Quirk) to Shigaraki's Decay Quirk. Although he was briefly released after Tartarus was breached by All For One, he returned to prison after the end of the Final War.

Cathleen Bates

Stars and Stripes

America's number one hero, Star and Stripe (real name Cathleen Bate) was a former protégé of All Might. Her Quirk is New Order, which gives her the power to set a maximum of two rules for both humans and inanimate objects.

Star was only around for the first two episodes of Season 7, but showed her ability to think quickly and tactically to outwit Shigaraki/All For One. She set up a trap for All For One, allowing him to steal her Quirk, sacrificing her life to lend a helping hand to the Japanese heroes.

Shigaraki Tomura

Leader of the League of Villains and adopted son of All For One, Shigaraki Tomura is quickly shown to be a danger due to his Quirk. Shigaraki's Quirk is Decay, which disintegrates anything it touches with all five fingers. The Quirk was not his originally, instead it was secretly given to him by All For One when he was a child.

In later seasons, the effects of the Decay Quirk were amplified due to Dr Garaki's experiments. Shigaraki, in truth, was meant to serve as All For One's vessel. As such, he also got All For One's Quirk and his arsenal of Quirks stolen, making him truly overwhelmed.

The true overall antagonist of My Hero Academia, All For One is THE Wicked and was nicknamed the Symbol of Evil. He grew up in the era when Quirks were beginning to spread among the human population and were not yet widely accepted.
