I love Overhaul as a villian not only has he got a cool quirk but he is very calm until a moment one second one word and he can break its a great representation of his quirk one touch and everything changes.

I just recently finished Overhaul's arc for the first time and loved every bit of it. His design, his personality/attitude, not to mention his OP quirk and motivations make him very interesting as a character.

I liked how when he is touched, his skin begins to break out in hives and he becomes more eratic in his speech and train of thought. I'm curious to know if they continue to use his chafatcer, because i hope he didn't just get left in the street to die.

To simplify everything in a psychological way, Chisaki is a Sociopath, not a psychopath or incoherently evil, a sociopath. Sociopaths are capable of feeling emotion and forming attachments, but they don't understand others' feelings. They only feel when something directly effects them or the few people they care about. They also only care about the person to a certain degree, they will still value their own wants over the other person despite loving them. They are extremely impulsive, acting upon whatever they desire at the moment, even if it contradicts their ultimate goal or need. Chisaki' s attachments were to the boss and the truth quirk guy (I apologize for not knowing his name) so they are the only ones who he cares about, but he was still willing to hurt them in order to achieve his goal. His love for the old man is also all he thought about for most of the arc, his only motivation to do anything was him trying to thank the boss for taking him in by doing something he believes is what the man wants, even when he lost his hands. After his hands were gone, the old man is what's shown alongside Chisaki's scared face; all he could think about was the horrific realisation that he not only failed to thank the old man, but basically killed him because he can no longer heal the man from what he originally did to make him comatose in the first place. As for not understanding others, this was shown multiple times such as him not expecting Shigaraki to deny him, his torture of Eri, the way he kills others with no regret, and the fact that he put the old man in a coma because he still believes the man will be thankful even after the man told him not to get involved with drugs.

Overhaul is one of the best if not the best villain in MHA because he’s not cliché like the other ones he’s unique and has an actual drive into the arc

Overhaul is the best villain and my favorite character

I feel like Overhaul is a character that was only a few steps from truly acheiving greatness. His backstory and motivations were sandwiched in between the Mirio and Deku fights, which overshadowed his character as a result. It is a shame that unlike Stain or Re-Destro, his ideology didn't continue to affect the story in a major way after his arc was over. He definitely had the potential to be the Doflamingo of MHA, a charismatic villain that was the first casualty in the new age left by the old generation. Though if there was one thing that I think he should've done in the story is kill Tsuyu. It really would've made him look more threatening and competent, as well given the arc more lasting consequences.

I agree with you on that I didn't really get chisaki the first time I read the manga... he seemed flat to me, unreasonable, contradicting himself... much like how shigaraki's reason for being evil didnt make much sense in the earlier arcs when he seemed to be evil for the sake of being evil.. but when the anime reached this arc and I viewed it again I understood his complexity better. he was twisted for sure, but I could appreciate him more as a villain because in his own twisted way, it made sense that he thought what he did was right. especially if you take into consideration his quirk. we do not see what happened when he first activated his quirk but I suspect it was something similar to what happened with shigaraki. we don't know how he ended up in the streets, but it is almost certain that he accidentally killed someone, whether he cared about that person, like a parent or family member, or not. I also suspect that he wouldn't know how to do the 'reconstract' part of his quirk at first meaning that death was permanent. so in his mind, he couldn't understand that great destractive power he had, so maybe that's why he believed the decease theory so easily, it was an easy explanation to what he had done "its a decease, deceases kill. I did't kill, the decease killed". we see him as a germophobe and assume his this amplifies his notion that quirks are bad because they are a sickness, but I see it more like, he is a germophobe as a result of thinking quirks are a decease. if a decease could lead to something as deadly as a his quirk, and could change the society and the norm in such a drastic level, someone who believes that thats the case, would be terrified of germs. in his backstory as a kid, after taken in by the boss, he is seen bruised in after fighting, and its stated that it has happened many times. meaning he didn't use his quirk as a kid (if he had he wouldnt have bruises since he would kill his opponent instantly) because he had accepted it as something bad, as a decease. this is not to excuse his behavior, it is mainly to understand better why he was so stuck in that idea that quirks are deceases. because if they weren't, if it was ok for all the amazing heroes to do heroic deeds with their own, normal quirks, then what did that make him, the kid who can kill in an instant, just by touching someone? in this world, a villain. abnormal. then add to that the fact that the only person who took him in and showed him care was treated as a "villain", something society would call him too had they seen what he could do, and the fact that the so called heroes threatened what his father figure had built, that could very easily lead to his broken personality and twisted sense of reality and conviction. even after shigaraki got a much more detailed backstory, sharing many of the things that happened or I speculate should have happened to chisaki, I still find overhaul a much more interesting villain, with many more layers in his personality than "this world rejects me so I will reject it back", and I found myself pitying him when I realized he could never fix the mess he made, he could never put his father back together, since he lost the ability to use his quirk and now, consiquenses apply to him as well. and the irony that right now, the only person who had the power to fix his father, or even him for that matter, is eri. said too much, but that was such a good video it made me think

Somethimg else about overhaul the way I see it is given how his men follow his orders out of fear or loyalty he is blindsided by the league. He has the truth forcing guy ask "did Shigaraki say anything about betraying us." Not "do you plan to betray us" two very different questions that he does not think of since he assumes Shigaraki is the boss and that they wouldn't do anything they were not told to do I find this intersting that this part of his mindset led to a fatal mistake since the league played a decent hand in the undoing. In my mind it's the lawful organized evil not understating the more chaotic ragtag league that has something closer to real friendship than a hierarchy

Hey! I finally got around to watching! Just as we discussed on my video, I really like the fact we approached Overhaul from different angles but still managed to come to so many similar conclusions about his character. We both picked up on the ‘Overhaul’ persona, how fragile his calm demeanour is, and the contradiction of his plans which I find really cool because I hadn’t seen anyone else talk about those things before so I thought I was the only one. It’s great to see someone else delving into that! I like your take on his relationship with the boss. Whilst I took a more clinical approach, breaking down and exposing how shallow and weak his version of ‘love’ is in comparison to how the rest of us feel towards our loved ones, you focussed on the fact that, from his own point of view, it is still love regardless of how it compares. It’s probably the only version of love he knows so he doesn’t understand that, in comparison to the average person, it doesn’t measure up. But, unlike many others, you don’t treat that love as his saving grace and act like it makes him a totally sympathetic and justified character. You acknowledge his version of love but also point out the flaws in it too, which is very refreshing! Great video all around! I’m glad you found me and we got the chance to talk and exchange ideas. Your Eri video is next on my list ✌🏻

I actually really appreciate this video idk why nobody talks about Overhaul he's literally the best villain and his entire arc has all the best moments in the entire series don't @ me

Best Overhaul video. I wish people could READ

Bro, this really helped me develop my main character for a My Hero AU story I’ve been working on

While this was undoubtedly my favorite arc of My Hero so far and I really enjoyed Overhaul's role in the story, afterward I was still wondering a couple of things about him. Namely why he seemed so cruel with little explanation in comparison to a lot of other characters. But when you pointed out how his quirk renders the threat of death as an arbitrary concept, on top of his tendency to go too far with things to an obsessive degree, it made a lot of sense. Not to mention the other childhood moments that recontextualize other aspects of him. By the way, if you ask me, Chisaki's dub scream sounds a lot more harrowing.

Great vid! Never really cared too much about Overhaul, but this did enlighten me. Especially the bit about how he feels quirks messes up society with the whole "heroes and villains", which really makes his views on quirks understandable (though still hypocritical, given his dependence on his own quirk)

I really thought Overhaul was a good villain, what Shigiraki did to him was truly shocking. I really wonder what the boss would think if he got out of the coma, what would he say? God knows he'd be disappointed...

Overhaul is the most complex MHA villain? *laughs in manga Shigaraki*

Great analysis. I keep saying Kai is a great villain (but a horrible human being) and yet so many people dismiss him. This video explores the movitive of Chisaki extremely well

This man: showed up killed Magne, gave them his card and then dipped. bad ass.

Came here from the podcast, and while there's only three videos thus far, I already wanna see more. So...make more. Do it. - - - - DEW IT!

This is the most in depth analysis of Overhaul I’ve seen. Excellent work

Saw you on The war arc podcast, your passion and enjoyment of the series was so cheerful and infectious that i just wanted to see more, hope you keep making videos!

He was right about quirks.

Great video, man. I was talking about you in the Anitube Digest. I feel like the state of "MHA tubers" is really bad right now, with some mediocre to bad videos. I mean people that talk about MHA more often. One of the few exceptions is Oceaniz and now maybe you. I feel like there is a lot of subtle storytelling with Overhaul's character and, heck, MHA in general that goes through people's head. At least subtle for battle shonen stories. It's great to see someone that gets it. You really get it. Great video, man, and I'm subscribed to your channel now.

I always knew there was more to Overhaul that meets the eye after watching this Arc in the anime. Reading Manga solidified it more. Your video explains everything which I was unable to pinpoint.

Here after watching your war arc review with Oceaniz. In terms of analysis, you make some of the best mha content. Sad I didnt find you sooner. Hopefully, you make some more videos soon!

Really love the style of using manga panels together with the sound of the anime

Finally someone noticed! When the Arm that can fix his father is taken, that's when he reacts.

Brilliant video. It really helps putting Kai into a new light, as he's such a difficult character to read. I liked the way you explored his relationship with the Yakuza boss and how that's an essential factor in understanding his character, which clarified a lot about his psyche for me. I also really enjoyed how you interpreted his perspective on Deku's last punch in the anime. Since it's an adaptation first, I always feel a little cynical in relation to the fights (since it mostly cuts/changes some small details that I personally like better in the manga). But your view on it really recontextualized that moment for me, which I initially thought of as just a little too dramatic. But looking back on it now, the last moments of the arc are all about showing Overhaul's point of view on the matter. So yeah, I guess in that regard, the anime did a good job after all. Overall, pretty awesome analysis! Keep it up, man. I look forward to your next videos!

Like a few others in the comments, I came from the War Arc review with Oceaniz. Great stuff, I’ll be here for any videos you make in the future 👍🏼

I think I saw someone call him:"The full mental alchemist".

I enjoyed Overhaul at first because of his sick design & ideology. But felt he had missed potential towards the arc’s end. This video gave me a new appreciation & understanding of his character. :)

Fantastic video on Overhaul I think so many don't understand him and write him off honestly I think people basically do it for MHA as a whole I know I did for season 4 until I read forward in the manga and saw how great it actually is, anyway I got sidetracked great vid.

I needed this. The more videos I watch on Overhaul, the more I enjoy his character. This has been my favorite Overhaul video so far. Excellent stuff!

This is probably the best analysis I’ve seen for mha, for my favorite villain from the series, even if my love for mha has dwindled with time, my love for overhaul and his arc is still there for the reasons you gave in this video. I know I’m late but great work

Phenomenal video. The combination of your well-constructed analysis and the chill, but effective editing style by Korr works really well. The structured nature of this video is excellent, and feels super organized. I too, hadn’t even considered the backstory of him talking to Pops as a kid about fighting, as the foundation for his life onwards. I love the little statements you have at the end of each segment right before a chapter change; they’re really charming. I look forward to future videos!!

Awesome video! I'll finish it soon, I could only get halfway with it now xx

Hey, Ian. I'm supporting you given you were on Aniki stream. I'll be sure to watch this video in-depth and give my take/ critique on it. But I am glad you are doing a video on Overhaul. He was for the longest time my favorite villain in MHA and someone who I found was very misunderstood. So major respect for me when making a defense video of his. Because, he wasn't just a "stepping" stone for Tomura. Overall, I don't always agree with you on everything but keep up the amazing work.

Wonderfully done analysis

This arc is definitely in my top five. I’m sad that the anime didn’t do it enough justice.

Thank you for this analysis, he's my favorite villain🙏

I would recommend watching "overhaul from the perceptive of a victim"

Great Video

nice video keep up the good work

So are you going to talk about shigaraki or the league of villains next, I know you said if we're looking for more videos we won't find them here but the last part of the video being shigaraki saying we're next feels like the lead in to talk about them next

Cool video!!! Who's ur favourite antagonist?

I'm currently eating but will, give my thoughts, when Im ready; to say the less, it was well crafted!

Came here from Twitter, was not disappointed 👌

i really felt bad for overhaul like its all gone..

WASTED POTENTIAL! I wanted him to outsmart everyone SO BAD!!!

Overhaul is badass

Great video! But why exactly did overhaul choose toga twice and kurogiri from LOV without knowing their quirks?

ayo MF DOOM beat on 16:20

overhaul did nothing wrong even the things he did to to the little girl

God voice

stop calling him a villain, he's a hero

I don't know Y everyone likes this arc.. I mean don't get me wrong I like wat it did for everyone involved except for Deku... He never learnt anything he never changed or grown.. That's so fucked up cause his the main character... Great video though

Overhaul didn't wanna fight they pushed him 2 heroes and the league of villains
