Warning: Spoilers for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, episode #3
First Major Villain Introduced in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has unveiled its first significant antagonist, showcasing a unique Quirk that grants her the ability to inflict chaos over large areas. This character, appearing as an ordinary high school girl, presents potential challenges that could make her one of the most elusive villains in the series.
Throughout the earlier episodes, the protagonists have mainly faced off against individuals transformed into threats by the drug Trigger, which has caused their Quirks to spiral out of control. Often referred to as Instant Villains, these individuals lose their ability to think rationally, leading to widespread havoc. Most of them, inadvertently caught up in this chaos, do not seek trouble, and one of the primary objectives of Knuckleduster has been to trace the origin of the Trigger drug.
The New Main Villain: Perfect for Causing Disarray
Kuin Hachisuka’s Powers Can Amplify Trigger’s Reach
In episode 3, viewers are introduced to Kuin Hachisuka, a seemingly innocent girl who is first seen enthusiastically capturing a selfie with Pop Step. The scenario shifts when she is approached by a menacing bee with a syringe-like stinger. After parting ways with her friends, it becomes clear that Kuin has authority over a vast colony of these bees, hidden beneath an eyepatch covering her empty eye socket. This unsettling detail enhances her character’s eerie presence.
Upon unleashing a swarm of bees—each equipped with doses of Trigger—Kuin infects multiple civilians, converting them into monstrous creatures. Few Quirks equip a user with the capability to control so many creatures, especially with such versatile functionalities as these bees.
A Distinct Type of Villain
An Ideal Quirk for Mastermind Tactics
Kuin Hachisuka’s ability is exceptionally well-suited for creating chaos, enabling her to strike unpredictably and without warning. With her disguise as a typical student, she avoids suspicion, making it challenging for heroes to connect her to the mayhem caused by the Trigger drug. However, a crucial question remains: who is supplying her with Trigger? This enigma presents an opportunity for the heroes of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes to uncover the true mastermind behind this nefarious plot.
