Hero Killer Stain: The Misunderstood Vigilante Turning the Hero Society Upside Down
In the world of My Hero Academia, where heroes with flashy quirks dominate the stage, one man stands against the corrupt hero society. Chizome Akaguro, or Hero Killer Stain as he’s famously known, despises the fake heroes who tarnish the name of true heroism. His journey began as a wide-eyed child, idolizing the mighty All Might. But as he grew older and enrolled in a private hero school, he discovered the ugly truth—evil and corruption ran rampant within the institution. Disillusioned, Chizome dropped out and took up the mantle of the vigilante known as Stendhal. It wasn’t until later that he embraced the moniker of Hero Killer, vowing to wipe out all false heroes from the world.
Stain’s Surprising Return and Encounter with All Might
The last time readers saw Stain, he had just been released from Tartarus alongside a group of inmates. Keeping a watchful eye on All Might’s statue, Stain confronted the Symbol of Peace himself when he arrived to scold his own statue cleaner. Initially, Stain threatened to kill All Might, believing him to be a fraud. However, this encounter took an unexpected turn as All Might revealed his true identity, the hero Stain had always admired. In this surprising twist, Stain provided crucial information about the villain All For One, altering the course of the conflict and giving the heroes a fighting chance.
The State of the Final War: A Battle for the Ages
The war between heroes and villains has reached its climax, with All For One once again at the peak of his power. The battlefield has become a whirlwind of chaos, thanks to the efforts of Mt. Lady, Hawks, and Shiketsu students. Meanwhile, Kurogiri’s return has disrupted the heroes’ plans, leading to Dabi facing off against Endeavor. Yet, the greatest obstacle the heroes face is All For One himself, determined to subdue the young Tomura Shigaraki completely. As tensions rise and a massive explosion looms, Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi finds himself in a panic. Unfazed, All Might reaches out to Shoto and Tenya, reminding them that the fate of the world rests on their shoulders. The duo, despite their exhaustion from a previous battle, resolve to press forward and save their endangered allies. And behind the scenes, a powerful ally awaits All For One, ready to take on his arch-nemesis.
Stain’s Role: From Bystander to Potential Savior?
While Stain has remained a secretive figure throughout the final war, his loyalty remains a mystery. Observing from the shadows, the Hero Killer watches as Shoto and Tenya race to confront Dabi. However, given that he shared crucial information about All For One’s plans with the heroes, it’s reasonable to assume that Stain aligns himself with the side of justice.
How Can Stain Influence the Final War?
With his exceptional combat skills and unique perspective, Stain has the potential to play a pivotal role in the decisive conflict. The heroes are desperately lacking in manpower, and the addition of Stain’s support would alleviate much of their burden. Whispering the word “Altruism,” Stain reflects on the selfless nature of heroes, their relentless concern for others. Whether he chooses to protect innocent civilians or aid the heroes in their fight against evil, Stain can significantly reduce casualties in the war. With his unexpected benevolence, Stain may just turn the tide of the conflict, leaving a positive impact on the war-ravaged world.
