Wings along the arms, fangs, ears drawn to a point: Batto Yobayakawa was built for the night before anyone got hold of him. What Bat can do on its own is guesswork, because every time it has been seen the drug Trigger was already in his blood.
Written Kōmori in Japanese, this close-range Mutant Quirk belongs to Batto Yobayakawa and originates in the Vigilantes side of the franchise. Chapter 7 introduces it and Episode 4 adapts it.
Its holder wears the animal openly. Membranes stretch along the arms as wings, the teeth come in as fangs, the ears taper, and the rest of the build follows suit.
Two capabilities have been observed: sprinting at high speed and flight. Both carry an asterisk, since every recorded use came with Trigger already active in his system, leaving the Quirk's unaided ceiling unknown.
The Villain Factory later remade him as a Next-Level Villain, reworking his body and feeding the Quirk still more Trigger. His frame turned thoroughly bat-like and his physical baseline rose to match. Scent became a tracking tool able to follow a trail across long distances, his flight speed climbed enormously, and fresh strength let him snatch a person up in his claws and carry them into the air.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
The bat guy in My Hero Academia is Batto Yobayakawa, a villain from the Vigilantes side series whose Quirk, Bat, gives him bat like wings, fangs, and pointed ears.
The Bat Quirk is a close range Mutant ability that lets Batto Yobayakawa sprint at high speed and fly, though every recorded use has come while he was also on the drug Trigger.
The Bat Quirk debuted in Chapter 7 of the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes manga and was adapted in Episode 4 of the Vigilantes anime.
The Villain Factory rebuilt Batto Yobayakawa into a Next Level Villain, making his body more thoroughly bat like, boosting his flight speed and physical strength, and giving him a tracking sense of smell that could follow a scent trail over long distances.
It is unknown, since every documented use of the Bat Quirk has occurred while Batto Yobayakawa had Trigger active in his system, leaving its unaided capabilities unrecorded.
