Some spoilers for season 6 included. Also, one other thing: The reason he's broken after his final encounter with Shigaraki is because after his arms are stolen, he has no way to fix the boss, so he's essentially crippled his mentor forever, and has to live with that.
As overhaul is my favorite character i hope they have a arc with eri saying she wont forgive him but understanding him and either healing the boss herself or giving overhaul his arms back(keep in mind all he needs is one arm thats why shigaraki took both as he can heal the other one)
so wait, is it only a hand touch thing, or can it be with his teeth or feet that he can use as well, or his tongue even, to regenerate body parts, because endeavor, shoto, and dabi can transfer their heat to their feat and fly, why can't overhaul transfer his quirk to his feet and regenerate his upper limbs, all that matters is that he touches something right?
Ah. I did not read this before, was assuming any mention of spoilers were going to be in the video. Not really upset, just a tad dissapointed I didn't find out the thing about Milio from watching it myself.
@Silvercomet251 like I might get the theories of overhaul being her biological dad (aka 'Pops'daughter cheating on her husband which is still out of character) but like dude has (some) morals and even if he was I think he would respect pops too much to do this to his grandchild
Overhaul is the most HEAVILY slept on villain of all time, people, even the entire fanbase hated him due to the suffering he caused Eri, a little girl, so much suffering and pain, but no one ever praises him for his character, his writing is interesting and unique, making him one of the best villains in anime.
Twice trash lmao midnight more memorable but still meh. Pretty sure he's the guy with the white and black mask suit combo and did hawks kill him or lol or endeavor idk that villian season is garbage
can you just imagine if he was a hero? the untapped potential of his quirk on the good guys side is insane.. he could basically cure anyone of any illness or disease by reassembling them. He could reassemble himself with any person whos quirk he wanted.. to no limits theoretically. Could he even bring people back to life? It's a shame bros basically gone, but he served his purpose
He'd be a game changer as a hero. Basically an elite fighting and healing quirk? Would be so OP. Good call on that, and thanks for the great comment. Hope to see you back for future vids!
@@gallenberger1 even more interesting is he'd probably be an underground hero too. So he'd be super OP AND hardly anyone would know his name! But oh boy would there be some terrifying murmurs floating around in the underworld.
@@charlesm6819 idle transfiguration could've been used heal people of terminal diseases and ailments and remove the restrictions of heavenly restrictions
I love how unlike lots of villains who are defeated and become sad and pathetic at the loss of there power and are just the way because they don't have power for themselves anymore overhaul becomes sad and pathetic because he can't help the person he loves most and it's killing him that because of him his father might never wake again. He is an irredeemable monster but he also has soft spots that make him a deep character that has lines he will and won't cross.
In one of the most recent chapters, it is shown that the old boss did wake up thanks to new advanced quirk technology and he even has a chat with overhaul. In that chat he said he was gonna visit overhaul every day until he died for abusing Eri.
@@gallenberger1lmao, when I saw that shot of Shigaraki’s eye, I immediately thought of Overhaul and thought to myself “Man the studio really likes to put their eye-budget on the villains. Nice work!”
Before watching the video, I already knew overhaul was a great villain. But after watching the video I've been able to appreciate his character a lot more.
One great detail from the manga which I have no idea why they cut from the anime is that early on Chisaki learned of a theory that quirks began from a virus spread by rats. He quite literally sees quirks as a plague and adds to why he has a habit of avoiding dirt.
One impact you didn't mention was the impact on Shigaraki's character going forward. He ends up recognizing the importance of having a plan and leading an organization. By the time the Liberation Army attacks the League and then offers allegiance to him, he accepts them because of his experience against Chisaki.
Overhaul had a motive, a very convincing motive you can get behind, thats why him and Stain are easily the best villains in the whole series, not to mention how they have influence that isn't constantly told to you.
I wish Stain got more involved, like befriending Allmight and learning how corrupt the HSPC was as well as their influence on Hawks & Nagant (I wonder how he'd react)
@@gallenberger1 So many! If you ever meet Kellen he's so sweet. I got him to sign some merch when I met him last year, and he does a line from any image that you pick, so if you picked Overhaul he'd do a well known line or his favorite line. Super sweet. Villain wise Id have to say Dabi to be added to the list. As far as other villains I really dont like that many others. They just dont stick like Overhaul and Dabi do.
@AyaV18 That's awesome! He has such a cool voice and does such an amazing job, would love to meet him someday. Dabi would be a fun video to make down the line, also have a Toga one in the works. Hope to see you back here, I need more MHA fans in the comments 🤣
Overhaul should’ve had a bigger part in MHA, even though with the little time he had, he made a huge impact, I wish he was kinda like Raul Menéndez, from BO II. Causing a un winnable *situation.* like season 7 now. W vid tho, keep going bro.
This. Exactly this. You cooked. I still think it's a crime Overhaul and Re-destro NEVER interact like A mafia boss quirk destroyer and a quirk supremacist masking his true intentions
Overhaul is by far one of the best villains I've seen. I love ruthless characters and he definitely fits the roll well. Also his story is fleshed out in more detail in the manga. So id recommend it!
I think Overhaul's lack of humanity is rooted in the nature of his quirk. Imagine if you could take apart human beings and reassemble them as easily as dissembling a clock and putting it back together. The value of life would be reduced from that perspective right? One positive of pain and suffering is that it develops empathy. People have to be taught empathy, usually by seeing how they are supposed to care and help when someone is hurt. Chisaki doesn't understand the gravity of being injured. It isn't a big deal to him. This is why it doesn't even register that hurting Eri is even bad. This has an interesting angle when you consider his idea about quirks being a disease, and that his quirk could have contributed to his own 'illness' of being a sociopath.
Overhaul was always one of my favorite villians. And I fell like if shigiraki never got rid of his hands. It stops him from coming back later and teaming with stain to help the heroes.
This villain is so well written and the anime portrayed his personality beautifully gotta say those epic fight scenes and overhaul moments is the reason I am rewatching that arc
This line goes hard "his exterior now matches his interior a monstrosity with a small part of a man" dude i'm looking at chisaki so different now it's insane
Because of his quirk, Overhaul regarded death and suffering as beneath consideration. Whether to him or another, it’s meaningless noise that’s easily inflicted and erased. Losing his quirk, and realizing that the damage he did to the one person he’d ever loved was now irreversible, marked the first time, likely in his life, that he ever experienced regret… and it basically breaks him as a person. That’s what makes Deku’s final words to him so interesting. “If the day ever comes that you can apply that feeling to Eri as well.” It proves that he DOES have the capacity for empathy, buried under his central defining trait of arrogant selfishness, and his despair marks the first time in his life he can finally understand the last warning his master gave him.
as an antaognist I love Overhaul and Season 4 has been my fav my only complaint is that though he deserved losing his arms, at the hands of Shigaraki this isn't it, Shigaraki don't deserve that satisfaction
not to mention his quirk has to be the best quirk and has the most untapped potential, that is sadly not discovered, i wished he asked one for all to fix his arms
Thank you so much for making this! Overhaul has always been one of my favorite anime villains but a lot of people told me he wasn’t important but he is and you did a great job of explaining that, thank you!
@@gallenberger1 Wanted to ask your opinion, however, it'll consist of some manga spoilers So, if you're fine with that, I wanted to ask your opinion on how Eri's and Overhaul's meeting will happen and how will it change both Eri's and Overhaul's character, considering we're approaching the epilogue of MHA. As we noticed in Deku's Dark Hero's arc, we saw that Overhaul no longer sought revenge and only wanted to reunite with his boss. While I do understand that what Kai did is inherently wicked and overall wrongful, however, I genuinely think this meeting with Eri could change his hypothetical future if he manages to accept and atone for his crimes. At least in my eyes, the character of Kai is much more redeemable than the ones of Dabi, AFO or Shigaraki. Once again, thank you for this amazing video and will be looking forward to your answer.
@maldlions5313 I skimmed this as to avoid spoiling myself but I'm really looking forward to his reunion with Eri. I think she needs that closure of getting over him and the trauma he put her through to become her best self. Her having the strength to face him and hear him apologize is what she needs to move forward. I'm guessing it'll be tough for her at first or she may not want to do it, but I think it'll work our for everyone.
Love to see the peaise for Overhaul, hea a great villain. My favorite aspext to him is that hes not only Deku's biggest test up until that point but he's Shigaraki's as well. Overhaul is a more organized, more influential, more OP version of Shiggy and neither Deku nor Shigaraki can become their highest selvesuntil they get through Overhaul and learn aome lessons from him
Notice how when Overhaul first began fighting Mirio he referred to him as school boy, but once he wins their fight I feel as he respects Mirio more as from there he calls him by his hero name: Lemillion. Absolutely love his character and I would say if his speech on Quirks was shared online like Stains there would be another following of fans behind him mainly people with heteromorphic quirks like Spinner, they would agree that quirks are a disease that only caused them more harm and a cure for their pain would be given a raised eyebrow. Also Manga spoilers: Overhaul escaped Dr. Garaki's lab as a kid before the boss found him but whilst with the Dr. his quirk was tampered with and modified to only destroy and that modified quirk was given to Shigaraki which explains why both Shigaraki and Overhaul itch when they use their quirks the original Overhaul quirk was modified and damaged to affect it's main users. Such an interesting character that I hope we get to know what happens to after Deku promised to let him see his boss to apologize should he show remorse to Eri
@@gallenberger1 Dabi , Shigaraki, Twice,AFO, Stain, and Togas pretty cool. Horikoshi is really good at writing villains. You don't see that often in most series.
He's a awesome villain definitely in my top 5 of the series he was smart, cunning and strong plus the fight scene with Deku seriously is amazing moment of the series this video is awesome and it makes me appreciate him more now even though I've always enjoyed him as a villain and the arc was awesome:)
Thank you so much for this video,whenever i go out in public i cosplay as him (same jacket,gloves,mask,everything) so its awesome to see him get the recognition he deserves
Overhaul is the character that introduced me to Kenjiro Tsuda as a VA. In fact, I felt like Kenjiro became far more prominent as a VA after playing the role of Overhaul. Though that’s only my own perception.
0:28 to add on to that -intimidation is one of the most important traits for a villain to have, (unless it’s a comedic villain) cause it really helps make an impact on the characters as well.
Excellent analysis. It’s also notable that, looking at Tv Tropes, Chisaki has a heavy dynamic with Shigaraki, he’s a deconstruction of the always someone better trope, that ultimately culminated with Shiggy’s upper hand, and destruction of his quirk. With the later reveal about how they relate, it signifies just how close their characters are. Chisaki sees quirks as a disease and wants to eradicate them, ending with losing his quirk. Shigaraki sees society as diseased, is drawn sickly, and wants to eradicate society but ends up stocked to the brim with quirks. Also, anime fans insistence that not many people died, or the villain didn’t kill large swathes is bad writing is so stupid. These are children s stories. Not many people die in Western entries like the MCU, LOTR, ATLA and nobody cares
I think eri was a missed opportunity. They kinda did it with the smiling arch but I think they should have use her trauma to limit her in her use of the quirk. Up to the point of smiling she thought she was a burden at best a curse at worst. That understanding of your quirk does not change overnight and it would be cool to see her gradually learn that her quirk can be used for good.
Overhaul arc really was peak MHA. the stakes were high, fights were goated, and the writing was meaningful. unfortunately, i never felt the same about the show again for the other seasons
3:34 “he truly wants to ~ Overhaul ~ the world” -aaaand roll credits😂😂 jokes aside, this is an amazing video, I had never really thought about how amazing of an anime villain Overhaul truly is!! 😄👍
"why doesn't anyone.. get the big picture! I will tear down this entire world! tear a hole in the very foundation!" also this arc has my favorite quote of all time with: "no one's going to follow a demon with no heart" 💜
Good analysis on my favorite MHA Villian. I agree he should have had a bigger impact for the future arcs but, I will never forget how much of an amazing villain he was.
Something that I always enjoyed as a tidbit but something I know many may have not payed attention to was how long the raid actually took. It took the heroes a whole 1hr and 15mins to storm the Shie Hassakai and defeat Overhaul. It’s such a good way to deduce how fast someone like Overhauls entire plan be weaved into a big picture just to be crumbled instantly each step of the way. He was so confident in himself not realizing that it took a short amount of time for Deku and Togata to wipe the floor with him.
That's a really cool way of putting that. I brought up how quick it was in terms of how he had to deal with it, and that he was overconfident but didn't tie them together like you here. Awesome comment
I actually love this youtuber he goes so in depth about the characters and i already agreed that overhaul was a really underrated protagonist, but this video just gave me all the more reason to believe so
A lot of people don’t realize that when he exploded Mr, Compress arm, Overhaul has a choice to bring it back but decides not too. That’s how of a bad villain he is.
My only problem with Overhaul is how bad he is at using his quirk. He can destroy literally anything he touches and yet he never went out of his way to kill the top heroes? What a waste
In the manga, a twist made the dynamic between Overhaul and Tomura more interesting. Kai also finally got his conclusion in the recent chapters of manga
Before this, I only remembered form him 1. Tortured a 6 year old. 2. Made quirk-destroying bullets. 3. Made Mirro lose his quirk. 4. Made Deku go full calling 100%
The reason why season 4 was peak was because Overhaul was the main villain and it was the only time where we saw Deku use his quirk with the intent to hurt rather than show mercy.
God I love Overhaul. Great for Shigaraki's development his impact on the future was awesome with Killing Night eye and Lemillion having his quirk removed. His design, power and personality are fantastic. While I overall prefer Shigaraki, Overhaul is a close second. Also both his English and Japanese VA's do an incredible job.
since he can have other peoples quirks while fusing with them he could have found out which part of the body the quirk comes from and basically be like all for one
Great video! Overhaul was one of my favorite antagonists in the series. I’d be interested to hear more of your thoughts on the villains in the series. Im pretty divided on how some of them were handled myself but I’m always curious to hear what others think about them.
@@gallenberger1 I hear you. Your goal was clear. “I appreciate this character and here is why I think others should too” an invitation rather than a challenge. Not a common thing in people that discuss anime and media.
@@Ghost-Toast819 No one will agree on everything. If someone disagrees in the comments, I'll give myself one respectful response and if that's not productive that's all I get.
i just hate the fact that so many people are hating on MHA cause of the controversial community and therefore don't watch it. it's such a good anime and so many people are missing out cause of it.
Hold on now…. I think our blue haired emo boy is the better villain. To me it’s his tragic childhood and being basically groomed and manipulated into hating the world. That’s why the man who took him in gave him the hands of his dead parents so the pain and emotions would forever linger
This was the BEST and only good arc of the series. After that, nothing felt as gripping me to the screen. As for the building arc for Deku becoming a vigilante, it feels...like it could go even DEEPER than what we got. I might make a video going into more details where Deku becomes consumed with obsession/being under pressure, from the expectations of society of him to be the best hero and he snaps, losing grip of All for One. I think in this turn that would feel a lot more impactful.
Some spoilers for season 6 included.
Also, one other thing: The reason he's broken after his final encounter with Shigaraki is because after his arms are stolen, he has no way to fix the boss, so he's essentially crippled his mentor forever, and has to live with that.
I never tough of that!! That scene always was one of my favorites of the entire anime and i that never crossed my head.
As overhaul is my favorite character i hope they have a arc with eri saying she wont forgive him but understanding him and either healing the boss herself or giving overhaul his arms back(keep in mind all he needs is one arm thats why shigaraki took both as he can heal the other one)
He is going to ask eri to do it for him
so wait, is it only a hand touch thing, or can it be with his teeth or feet that he can use as well, or his tongue even, to regenerate body parts, because endeavor, shoto, and dabi can transfer their heat to their feat and fly, why can't overhaul transfer his quirk to his feet and regenerate his upper limbs, all that matters is that he touches something right?
Ah. I did not read this before, was assuming any mention of spoilers were going to be in the video. Not really upset, just a tad dissapointed I didn't find out the thing about Milio from watching it myself.
Overhaul goes a lot deeper than a lot of people think. Really well written and interesting character
IMO Overhaul is the best MHA villain, and for the last time, HE ISN'T A PEDO
No, he’s not…
He’s a fucking psycho
You got that right. He's just messed up in the head he never went that far.

@@noobthetoob Yes for dome reason there are people who think that. Which makes no sense to me.

He's legit!
Yeah, because the fanbase doesn’t care about writing
Bonus point: He’s got Nanami as his VA
His voice acting is insane, loved him in the manga but the anime took his menacing nature to new heights with that vocal performance
I loved that voice actor and his character in Golden Kamuy
Kenjiro Tsuda
You mean nanami has him as his va?
Also, in the English dub, he is voiced by Kellen Goff, who also voiced Freddy Fazbear and the daycare attendant from security breach.
The whole overhaul arc is elite. My Hero as a show really doesn’t have many character deaths so him taking out night eye is big
It's so slept on. Nighteye is the only big death in the series so far so that meant a lot more than normal.

Such an interesting character that I hope we get to know what happens to after Deku promised to let him see his boss to apologize should he show remorse to Eri
That's interesting, thanks for the info
Thank you for making this video. Overhaul is so underrated. He is such a great villain.
Glad you enjoyed it! What other villains do you like?
@@gallenberger1 Dabi , Shigaraki, Twice,AFO, Stain, and Togas pretty cool. Horikoshi is really good at writing villains. You don't see that often in most series.
@@Mr2dmonkey Agreed, Horikoshi is awesome
Glad to see Chisaki getting some attention, he’s my damn namesake for nearly all my accounts from Discord to Steam
A worthy choice 😎
everyone forgets that OverHaul's theme is so GOATED!
A truly unique and underrated villain.
Absolutely!
I'm into a song dedicated to Overhaul called "Into the Dark" by Divide Music, and he's quite my 3rd main in One's Justice 2.
I'll check it out! Sounds sick
Love that song
He's a awesome villain definitely in my top 5 of the series he was smart, cunning and strong plus the fight scene with Deku seriously is amazing moment of the series this video is awesome and it makes me appreciate him more now even though I've always enjoyed him as a villain and the arc was awesome:)
Glad you're a fan! Agreed on all fronts
ngl, peak take on this topic, this was really fun to watch
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you around on some of my other vids
I thought overhaul already had this recognition bros like one of the best anime villains unironically
Thank you so much for this video,whenever i go out in public i cosplay as him (same jacket,gloves,mask,everything) so its awesome to see him get the recognition he deserves
Glad you liked it! His look is awesome
Overhaul is the character that introduced me to Kenjiro Tsuda as a VA. In fact, I felt like Kenjiro became far more prominent as a VA after playing the role of Overhaul. Though that’s only my own perception.
0:28 to add on to that -intimidation is one of the most important traits for a villain to have, (unless it’s a comedic villain) cause it really helps make an impact on the characters as well.
Great add!
Fr he is one of the best anime villains and the fight against him was one of the best in the show
Overhaul should've been the main villain over shikigari. He was way better and had a better quirk
@@LuigiFan1305 A lot of cool things could've been done with him still
Excellent analysis. It’s also notable that, looking at Tv Tropes, Chisaki has a heavy dynamic with Shigaraki, he’s a deconstruction of the always someone better trope, that ultimately culminated with Shiggy’s upper hand, and destruction of his quirk. With the later reveal about how they relate, it signifies just how close their characters are. Chisaki sees quirks as a disease and wants to eradicate them, ending with losing his quirk. Shigaraki sees society as diseased, is drawn sickly, and wants to eradicate society but ends up stocked to the brim with quirks. Also, anime fans insistence that not many people died, or the villain didn’t kill large swathes is bad writing is so stupid. These are children s stories. Not many people die in Western entries like the MCU, LOTR, ATLA and nobody cares
@@acetofresh1 Great insightful comment!
I think eri was a missed opportunity. They kinda did it with the smiling arch but I think they should have use her trauma to limit her in her use of the quirk. Up to the point of smiling she thought she was a burden at best a curse at worst. That understanding of your quirk does not change overnight and it would be cool to see her gradually learn that her quirk can be used for good.
Agree, they definitely rushed her usage of it.
Overhaul arc really was peak MHA. the stakes were high, fights were goated, and the writing was meaningful. unfortunately, i never felt the same about the show again for the other seasons
I thought season 6 did a good job at making things feel impactful, but season 4 doesn't get enough credit.
3:34 “he truly wants to ~ Overhaul ~ the world” -aaaand roll credits😂😂 jokes aside, this is an amazing video, I had never really thought about how amazing of an anime villain Overhaul truly is!! 😄👍
Appreciate it, and glad you were able to appreciate him more!
The Best Anime Villain No One Talks About
Yeah, even the author not talk about him in the final fight-
The Overhaul arc could've even been longer, it was so good
Totally agree
"why doesn't anyone.. get the big picture! I will tear down this entire world! tear a hole in the very foundation!" also this arc has my favorite quote of all time with: "no one's going to follow a demon with no heart" 💜
So many great lines!
im surprised he never worked with re destro, their goals seem to alighn.
Good analysis on my favorite MHA Villian. I agree he should have had a bigger impact for the future arcs but, I will never forget how much of an amazing villain he was.
Yep, he knocked his part of the story out of the park no doubt! Glad you're a fan
Something that I always enjoyed as a tidbit but something I know many may have not payed attention to was how long the raid actually took.
It took the heroes a whole 1hr and 15mins to storm the Shie Hassakai and defeat Overhaul. It’s such a good way to deduce how fast someone like Overhauls entire plan be weaved into a big picture just to be crumbled instantly each step of the way. He was so confident in himself not realizing that it took a short amount of time for Deku and Togata to wipe the floor with him.
That's a really cool way of putting that. I brought up how quick it was in terms of how he had to deal with it, and that he was overconfident but didn't tie them together like you here. Awesome comment
Honestly one of my all time favorite anime characters ever.. he got done so dirty near the end.
My exact thoughts
I actually love this youtuber he goes so in depth about the characters and i already agreed that overhaul was a really underrated protagonist, but this video just gave me all the more reason to believe so
Thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy some of the other videos!
A lot of people don’t realize that when he exploded Mr, Compress arm, Overhaul has a choice to bring it back but decides not too. That’s how of a bad villain he is.
YES! finally somebody talking about Overhaul- what an interesting character.
Such an amazing video, and some of the exact takes that I've had ever since overhaul was revealed
Glad you thought so! What takes were you thinking?
He might be my favorite villain in the show
He needs more recognition istg 😭🙏🏻
Thank you so much,hes my favorite villain
Happy to deliver!
My only problem with Overhaul is how bad he is at using his quirk. He can destroy literally anything he touches and yet he never went out of his way to kill the top heroes? What a waste
In the manga, a twist made the dynamic between Overhaul and Tomura more interesting. Kai also finally got his conclusion in the recent chapters of manga
Yeah overhaul was cold straight up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@brendonwallace6640 💯
Despite everything he did Overhaul was a great villain. Plus his Quirk is OP as hell. If he was a doctor I see him helping a lot of people.
Wow, you stole the.thoughts right out of my head! Literally couldn't have said it any better myself!
I look forward to seeing your work in the future
Much appreciated and glad you agree! Hope to see you around and chat about anime at some point!
@gallenberger1 I will surely be around, I rarely make videos on anime anymore but videos like this has me itching to do it!!
High praise! I'll do my best to make sure it's warranted.
Seriously bro. The entire overhaul arc was crazy.
Agreed. So underrated
He was definitely more interesting than All for One.
11:17 HE GOT THE MADARA TREATMENT!! 😭
Before this, I only remembered form him
1. Tortured a 6 year old.
2. Made quirk-destroying bullets.
3. Made Mirro lose his quirk.
4. Made Deku go full calling 100%
That's four more things than some!
The reason why season 4 was peak was because Overhaul was the main villain and it was the only time where we saw Deku use his quirk with the intent to hurt rather than show mercy.
Overhaul and Dabi are the best villains in that show. Stain is a anti-hero IMO, but he is badass.
I really hate the way Overhaul Treated Eri, but he is 100% the best villain in MHA.
And this arc has the best Opening and Closing songs off all the series !!!
Absolutely
God I love Overhaul. Great for Shigaraki's development his impact on the future was awesome with Killing Night eye and Lemillion having his quirk removed.
His design, power and personality are fantastic. While I overall prefer Shigaraki, Overhaul is a close second.
Also both his English and Japanese VA's do an incredible job.
The voice actors definitely deserve more credit
gallen fr sounds like overhauls dub voice 😭
idk how to take that 🤣
The overhaul arc is still my favorite. Though im relatively pleased with how the manga is wrapping up with a few chapters to go.
I miss him.. :c
This is why I don’t understand why people said mha fell off in season 4
Right? Never understood it either
since he can have other peoples quirks while fusing with them he could have found out which part of the body the quirk comes from and basically be like all for one
That's a good point. His quirk really is unreal
Definitely he would, if he didn't hate quirks
Sick analysis man!
Thank you! Hope to see you back!
@@gallenberger1 Hope so too
Great video! Overhaul was one of my favorite antagonists in the series.
I’d be interested to hear more of your thoughts on the villains in the series. Im pretty divided on how some of them were handled myself but I’m always curious to hear what others think about them.
Also if you’re keeping up with the manga, have you liked the ending so far?
Who would you like to hear about?
Also his quirk is way underrated! People ask me what kind of super powers I’d want and his makes the top 5 in every time
100%. Overhaul is one of the most badass and diverse abilities ever.
@@gallenberger1 hey man just letting you know I just subscribed loved the honest take that isn’t divisive like a lot of other content keep it up.
@@Ghost-Toast819 Thank you! Being honest about my opinions is the good, being divisive isn't really my thing.
@@gallenberger1 I hear you. Your goal was clear. “I appreciate this character and here is why I think others should too” an invitation rather than a challenge. Not a common thing in people that discuss anime and media.
@@Ghost-Toast819 No one will agree on everything. If someone disagrees in the comments, I'll give myself one respectful response and if that's not productive that's all I get.
Thank you TH-cam for reccomending a video praising one of my favorite characters
@@Cyberlele02 👊
i just hate the fact that so many people are hating on MHA cause of the controversial community and therefore don't watch it. it's such a good anime and so many people are missing out cause of it.
chisaki is my favorite absolute top #1 villian in all of anime, also i thought deku was going super saiyan blue cause of his hair LOL
You have good taste my friend 😎
@@gallenberger1 thank you friend ^^
@user-hc1qw7nd4l It's funny thought he was basically going super saiyan too 🤣
SO IM NOT CRAZY?!?! FINALLY
With the bullets and overhaul help would be easier to kill all for one
Hold on now…. I think our blue haired emo boy is the better villain. To me it’s his tragic childhood and being basically groomed and manipulated into hating the world. That’s why the man who took him in gave him the hands of his dead parents so the pain and emotions would forever linger
"There is so much to this character." Yeah one word "psychopath"
@@Atlas9ne That's underselling him a bit imo
Amazing video and I agree he is a phenomenal villain
Much appreciated! Hope to see you back
that's why he's my favorite.
Good taste
This was the BEST and only good arc of the series. After that, nothing felt as gripping me to the screen. As for the building arc for Deku becoming a vigilante, it feels...like it could go even DEEPER than what we got. I might make a video going into more details where Deku becomes consumed with obsession/being under pressure, from the expectations of society of him to be the best hero and he snaps, losing grip of All for One. I think in this turn that would feel a lot more impactful.
I wouldn't say it's the only good arc but I agree they could've gone further with Deku as a vigilante
"The only good arc" 💀
Overhaul is one of my favorite arcs in MHA
I was on board with Overhaul from the moment I saw him.
