Following Dabi’s big reveal about his own true identity, Mr. Compress teased that he had a notable lineage of his own. This came to the forefront with his “final performance” in the newest episode of My Hero Academia‘s sixth season where he sacrificed himself to help Tomura Shigaraki and the others escape and revealed not only the face hidden behind his mask, but revealed that he has ties to a legendary thief who once stole from heroes.

His grand reveal is unfortunately cut short before he could fully pull of the theatrical nature of his final act, but through it fans got to see Mr. Compress’ face in full for the first time. Unfortunately, it’s also looking like the last as he took out some big chunks out of his body with his quirk in order to make it happen. Regardless of how it works out, he was definitely the MVP of the first cour’s finale.ย
