Four-Armed Zealot

Character

One of roughly seventy villains Tomura Shigaraki gathered to storm the U.S.J., this four-armed, insect-masked brawler charged U.A.'s pros and lasted no time at all. Ranked F and named only in a spin-off game, he is a footnote of the U.S.J. Arc who nonetheless walked into U.A. thinking he could win.

Appearance

Four arms hang off a lean frame covered in jet black skin, rendered blue in My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero. An insectoid mask with red lenses hides his face, and below it he dresses plainly, in a black tank top over brown trousers and dark boots.

Personality

Almost nothing is documented about him. He signed on to attack the staff of U.A. High School alongside dozens of others, which at minimum suggests he thought highly of his own chances.

History

He was part of the horde Tomura Shigaraki led into the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, which lands him among the U.S.J. Arc's minor antagonists. When U.A.'s Pro Heroes arrived he was among the villains who rushed them, and he went down without difficulty. His Quirk, Extra Arms, does exactly what the name says and grants him the second pair. His villain name surfaces only in The Strongest Hero, where he is rated F rank, and imprisonment was where he ended up.
