My Hero Academia Unleashes One of Tartarus' Worst Criminals

By Megan Peters

My Hero Academia has more villains under thumb now than ever before. The manga's final act ushered in dozens of baddies, after all, and our heroes are now trying to take them down during a big war. Following Dabi's big battle, it seems another one of Tartarus' villains is ready to make his debut, and this poisonous pest might be one of the manga's most ominous baddies yet. 

The character debuted this week as My Hero Academia put out chapter 353. After Dabi's fight with Shoto came to an end, fans were treated to a look around the frontlines. It was there Aoyama came face-to-face with his opponent, and the villain Kunieda seems like a gnarly dude through and through.

As you can see above, the character appears to have some sort of plant quirk as he is seen propagating flowers and buds around him. Dressed in an ornate outfit, Kunieda is shown rocking a dark hood and hair covering with a simple black shirt. The villain completes his look with some embellished striped trousers and a flowing face mask. And judging by his body, Kunieda is lithe and lanky from head to toe.

So far, My Hero Academia fans know little about Kunieda, but he has been set up with some big expectations. After Dabi was defeated, this new villain says he is next in line to act as the League's new assassin. As such, he warns Aoyama of the target on his back, and Kunieda is determined to kill the boy for betraying All For One. This means we'll surely learn all about his quirk soon, and it's bound to be a deadly one.
