Octo-Lover's Brigade
CharacterAn Osaka animal rights movement campaigning to stop octopuses from being cooked and eaten, the Octo-Lover's Brigade appears in My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions. Its cause is harmless enough on paper, but extremist factions inside it are perfectly willing to use violence.
Overview
The Brigade organizes around one demand: octopuses should not end up on a plate. Osaka is its base, and its members frame the issue as an animal rights cause rather than a criminal enterprise.
The complication is internal. Alongside the ordinary membership sit extremist cells that see no reason to stop at persuasion and reach for force to press the group's claims, which is what places the Brigade among the spin-off's villains.
Role
Membership skews heavily toward people whose bodies carry the traits of sea creatures, fish, mollusks and cephalopods among them, giving the group a marine cast that suits its cause.
No dress code governs the rest of their clothing, which varies from member to member. One accessory unifies them: dark cloth marked with white spots evoking an octopus's suckers, worn as scarves and kerchiefs. That fabric serves as the Brigade's badge and the reliable way to recognize a member on sight.
Notable Members
No individual member is identified by name and no leader is recorded. The organization is described strictly at the group level, defined by its Osaka origin, its marine-featured membership, and the spotted cloth every member wears.
The one known division within it separates the general membership from the extremist factions prepared to resort to violence. The group's members were ultimately arrested.
