Overview of Nine as the Main Antagonist

Nine’s Profile

Quirks: Nine possesses the god-like Weather Manipulation Quirk, allowing him to summon destructive storms, tornadoes, and lightning, but it causes cellular degeneration, limiting its use. He also has a weaker version of All For One, enabling him to steal and hold up to eight additional Quirks (totaling nine), including Air Wall, Scanning, Bullet Laser, Hydra, and Cell Activation. These make him a versatile, unpredictable, and immensely powerful combatant.

Ideology: Nine envisions a superhuman society where strength determines hierarchy, rejecting labels like “Hero” and “Villain.” His past oppression due to his powerful Quirk drives his ambition to create a world where the strong rule.

Leadership Style: Nine is a charismatic and strategic leader, as seen with his loyal crew (Slice, Chimera, Mummy). His indomitable will and keen intellect allow him to inspire loyalty and devise complex plans, though his predictability in combat and health issues are weaknesses.

Context from Prior Conversation: Nine’s potential alliance with Wolfram highlighted his ability to synergize with tactical villains. His crew’s loyalty and the possibility of recruiting LoV defectors (e.g., Dabi, Toga, Spinner) and aligning with the MLA suggest he could build a formidable coalition. His conflict with Shigaraki in Heroes Rising (where Shigaraki kills him) indicates tension with the LoV’s leadership.

Scenario Assumptions

Nine replaces Shigaraki as the main antagonist, inheriting his role as the central threat to hero society.

He actively recruits new lackeys to bolster his forces, leveraging his charisma and ideology.

Existing factions react to his rise, either aligning with him, opposing him, or remaining neutral.

The Quirk Amplification Device (from Wolfram’s arc in Two Heroes) is available, potentially enhancing Nine’s and his allies’ powers.

Class 1-A and U.A. High remain the primary heroic opposition, supported by pro heroes.

Nine’s Strategy and Recruitment

Nine’s approach would focus on consolidating power through recruitment, leveraging his ideology to attract like-minded villains, and using his Quirks to dominate or eliminate rivals. His actions would include:

Recruiting Lackeys: Nine would seek powerful, ideologically aligned villains to replace or supplement his core crew (Slice, Chimera, Mummy). Potential recruits include LoV defectors (Dabi, Toga, Spinner), MLA members, and independent villains like Stain or mercenaries drawn to his vision or promised power.

Utilizing Technology: If allied with Wolfram or the MLA’s Detnerat, Nine could mass-produce the Quirk Amplification Device, enhancing his crew’s abilities or offering it as an incentive to recruits.

Targeting U.A.: Nine would likely prioritize attacking U.A. High to dismantle the hero training system and steal powerful Quirks like One For All, using his Weather Manipulation to isolate the school and his Scanning Quirk to identify targets.

Exploiting Weaknesses: His Scanning Quirk would allow him to assess and exploit the weaknesses of both allies and enemies, ensuring strategic dominance.

Reactions and Interactions with Factions

Below, each faction’s reaction to Nine’s rise is analyzed, considering their goals, leadership, and compatibility with Nine’s ideology, as well as whether Nine would align with or oppose them.

1. Shie Hassaikai

Overview: Led by Overhaul (Kai Chisaki), the Shie Hassaikai is a yakuza organization aiming to restore the underworld’s dominance by developing Quirk-destroying and Quirk-enhancing drugs. Overhaul’s Quirk, Overhaul, allows him to disassemble and reassemble matter, making him a dangerous opponent. The group values control and order, contrasting with Nine’s chaotic vision.

Reaction to Nine: The Shie Hassaikai would likely view Nine as a threat to their monopoly on Quirk-altering technology. Overhaul’s meticulous and controlling nature would clash with Nine’s ideological ambition to upend society. Nine’s Quirk-stealing ability and the Quirk Amplification Device would render Overhaul’s drugs obsolete, threatening his business model.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine would see the Shie Hassaikai as a rival faction with incompatible goals. Overhaul’s desire to control rather than empower would conflict with Nine’s strength-based hierarchy. Nine might attempt to steal Overhaul’s Quirk or destroy the Shie Hassaikai to eliminate competition, using his Weather Manipulation to devastate their hideouts.

Outcome: A confrontation would likely favor Nine, given his superior firepower and versatility. Overhaul’s Quirk requires close proximity, which Nine could counter with long-range attacks (e.g., Bullet Laser, Weather Manipulation). The Shie Hassaikai’s Eight Bullets might be recruited by Nine if they defect, particularly Mimic or Chronostasis, whose Quirks could enhance his operations.

2. League of Villains (LoV)

Overview: With Shigaraki sidelined, the LoV is fragmented. Key members include Dabi, Toga, Spinner, Kurogiri, Mr. Compress, and Twice, backed by All For One and Dr. Garaki’s Nomus. The LoV seeks to destroy hero society, aligning partially with Nine’s goals but differing in leadership and methods.

Reaction to Nine: The LoV would be divided:

Defectors: Dabi, Toga, and Spinner, as noted in the prior conversation, might join Nine due to ideological alignment (Dabi’s hatred of heroes, Toga’s love of chaos, Spinner’s experience with discrimination). Twice’s cloning ability could be a major asset, creating duplicates of Nine’s crew or stolen Quirks.

Loyalists: Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and Mr. Compress would likely oppose Nine, viewing him as a usurper. Shigaraki’s killing of Nine in Heroes Rising suggests he sees Nine as a threat to his leadership. All For One’s influence would push Shigaraki to maintain control, potentially leading to a villain civil war.

Nine’s Stance: Mixed (Allies and Enemies). Nine would actively recruit LoV members who align with his vision, offering them power or a role in his new world. He would oppose Shigaraki and loyalists, using his Scanning Quirk to anticipate their moves and his Weather Manipulation to overwhelm them. He might also attempt to steal Shigaraki’s Decay Quirk, though All For One’s original Quirk could complicate this.

Outcome: The LoV’s fragmentation would weaken it significantly. Nine could absorb most of its members, leaving Shigaraki with a small but dangerous faction. A direct confrontation would be costly, with Shigaraki’s Decay posing a threat to Nine’s physical form, but Nine’s range and versatility would likely give him the edge, especially with the Quirk Amplification Device.

3. Humarise

Overview: Introduced in My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission, Humarise is a cult led by Flect Turn, believing Quirks are a disease and seeking to eradicate them using Trigger Bombs. Their ideology is diametrically opposed to Nine’s, which celebrates powerful Quirks.

Reaction to Nine: Humarise would see Nine as the ultimate embodiment of their fears—a villain with god-like Quirks threatening global destruction. Flect Turn’s Reflect Quirk, which redirects attacks, would make him a formidable opponent, but Humarise’s focus on mass destruction via bombs contrasts with Nine’s targeted approach.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine would view Humarise as a direct threat to his vision, as their Quirk-eradicating agenda undermines his strength-based hierarchy. He would likely target their Trigger Bomb facilities, using his Weather Manipulation to destroy their infrastructure and his Scanning Quirk to locate their leaders.

Outcome: Nine’s superior combat abilities and Quirk versatility would likely overpower Humarise’s forces. Flect Turn’s Reflect Quirk could counter some attacks, but Nine’s Air Wall and Hydra could restrain him, allowing for a decisive strike. Humarise’s rank-and-file members might be too ideologically rigid to join Nine, making their elimination or subjugation more likely.

4. Meta Liberation Army (MLA)

Overview: The MLA, led by Re-Destro, seeks to liberate Quirk usage and establish a society where strength determines status, aligning closely with Nine’s ideology. Their resources, including Detnerat’s technology and a large paramilitary force, make them a powerful ally. Key members include Re-Destro, Geten, Curious, and Skeptic.

Reaction to Nine: As noted in the prior conversation, the MLA would likely see Nine as a natural ally due to their shared vision. Re-Destro might view Nine as a figurehead or partner to advance their cause, while Geten’s ice Quirk could synergize with Nine’s Weather Manipulation. Skeptic’s technological skills could enhance Nine’s operations, complementing The Hacker from Wolfram’s crew.

Nine’s Stance: Alliance. Nine would embrace the MLA’s support, leveraging their numbers and resources to amplify his influence. He could offer the Quirk Amplification Device to enhance MLA fighters, while Detnerat could mass-produce it. However, Nine’s insistence on being the “true ruler” might create tension with Re-Destro’s leadership ambitions.

Outcome: A Nine-MLA alliance would create a near-unstoppable force, combining Nine’s raw power with the MLA’s army and technology. Class 1-A would struggle against their numbers, requiring external hero support (e.g., Endeavor, Hawks). Internal power struggles could weaken the alliance if Re-Destro and Nine clash, but their shared ideology makes cooperation likely.

5. Dark Might’s Group

Overview: Introduced in My Hero Academia: You’re Next, Dark Might is a villain impersonating All Might, leading a group with a twisted vision of heroism. His Quirk, Fa Jin, mimics All Might’s strength, and his group includes loyal followers like Anna Scervino (with a Quirk negation ability) and others with combat-oriented Quirks. Their goal is to impose a warped hero society, which partially aligns with Nine’s disdain for the current system but differs in execution.

Reaction to Nine: Dark Might’s group might see Nine as a rival or potential ally, depending on whether they view his strength-based hierarchy as compatible with their vision. Dark Might’s ego and desire to emulate All Might could lead to conflict, as he might reject Nine’s claim to supremacy.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine would likely view Dark Might as a pretender, especially given his imitation of All Might, whom Nine targeted in Heroes Rising. Dark Might’s Fa Jin and Anna’s Quirk negation could counter Nine’s abilities, making them a threat. Nine might attempt to steal their Quirks or eliminate them to assert dominance.

Outcome: A battle between Nine and Dark Might would be intense, with Nine’s Weather Manipulation and multiple Quirks giving him an edge over Dark Might’s raw strength. Anna’s Quirk negation could temporarily neutralize Nine, but his Scanning Quirk and tactical allies (e.g., Slice, MLA’s Skeptic) could outmaneuver her. Dark Might’s group would likely be defeated or forced to submit, though some members might defect to Nine if offered power.

6. Creature Rejection Clan (CRC)

Overview: The CRC is a minor faction opposing mutant-type Quirks, driven by prejudice against those with non-human appearances. They lack a central leader in the main series but are a hate group with moderate influence.

Reaction to Nine: The CRC would likely oppose Nine due to his association with Chimera, whose mutant Quirk (animalistic traits) aligns with their targets. Nine’s ideology, which values strength regardless of appearance, would also clash with their discriminatory views.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine, having faced oppression for his powerful Quirk, would empathize with Chimera’s discrimination and view the CRC as a minor but annoying obstacle. He would likely use his Weather Manipulation to crush their gatherings or steal their Quirks to weaken them.

Outcome: The CRC lacks the power to challenge Nine effectively. His overwhelming abilities and potential MLA support would allow him to dismantle the group swiftly, possibly absorbing any useful Quirks or fighters into his ranks.

Nine’s Overall Strategy with Factions

Allies: Nine would prioritize an alliance with the MLA due to their ideological alignment and resources, integrating their fighters and technology (e.g., Detnerat’s manufacturing, Skeptic’s hacking). He would also recruit LoV defectors like Dabi, Toga, and Spinner, leveraging their combat skills and resentment toward hero society. Dr. Garaki could be persuaded to join if Nine offers a role in his new world, providing Nomus and scientific expertise.

Enemies: Nine would oppose Shigaraki’s LoV loyalists, Humarise, Dark Might’s Group, and the CRC, viewing them as threats to his vision or rival power bases. He would use his Scanning Quirk to identify their weaknesses, deploying Weather Manipulation for large-scale destruction and his stolen Quirks for precision strikes.

Neutral/Opportunistic: Minor villains or mercenaries (e.g., Stain, Wolfram’s crew) could be recruited as temporary allies, especially if Nine offers the Quirk Amplification Device or stolen Quirks as incentives. Wolfram himself might join if promised wealth, though his greed could lead to betrayal.

Impact on Class 1-A and Hero Society

Class 1-A’s Response: Facing Nine’s coalition, Class 1-A would rely on teamwork, strategic planning, and faculty support. Key strategies include:

Izuku and Bakugo: Their One For All-enhanced abilities would counter Nine’s power, with Bakugo’s explosions disrupting Air Wall and Izuku exploiting Nine’s predictability.

Todoroki, Tokoyami, Mina: They would target Nine’s crew, with Todoroki countering Chimera, and Tokoyami/Mina exploiting Slice’s hair-based weakness.

Aizawa: His Erasure Quirk could neutralize Nine temporarily, creating openings for attacks.

Momo, Kaminari, Iida: They would counter technological and physical threats, with Momo creating countermeasures, Kaminari disrupting metal constructs, and Iida outmaneuvering slower opponents.

Pro Hero Support: Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist could counter the MLA’s numbers or Nine’s environmental control, though Quirk thefts could weaken their ranks.

Outcome: Class 1-A’s victory would depend on exhausting Nine’s health, destroying the Quirk Amplification Device, and exploiting factional infighting (e.g., Nine vs. Shigaraki). A prolonged conflict could lead to significant hero losses or Quirk thefts, reshaping hero society.

Long-Term Effects: Nine’s rise would expose U.A.’s vulnerabilities, prompting security reforms. The MLA’s involvement could radicalize public opinion, while LoV fragmentation might give heroes a temporary advantage. Ethical debates over Quirk enhancement (via the Device or stolen Quirks) could divide heroes.

Conclusion

My Hero Academia: Evil vs. Evil Faction War - Miscellaneous Analysis

Context

Set early in the My Hero Academia timeline, with All Might as the Symbol of Peace, this analysis explores the roles of smaller, miscellaneous villains (e.g., low-tier members, minor recruits, or peripheral groups like the Volcano Thieves, Wild Villains, and others from our discussions) in the multi-sided villain war. It examines their importance in the conflict between the major factions—MLA/Wolfram/Nine, Humarise/Shie Hassaikai/CRC, LOV/Villain Factory/Jailbreakers, Dark Might’s faction, Hero Killers, and the corrupt HPSC—and how the heroes, caught in the crossfire, respond to this chaotic evil vs. evil scenario.

Minor Villains and Their Roles

1. LOV/Villain Factory/Jailbreakers’ Minor Villains

Key Figures:

Victor, Bye-Bites (U.S.J. Thugs): Low-tier LOV recruits from the U.S.J. attack, used as cannon fodder.

Sludge Villain: A Jailbreaker freed by AFO, impulsive and vengeful, targeting heroes like All Might.

Sam (Two Heroes): A greedy tech broker, now a Factory operative after betraying the LOV.

Mario Kugutsu, Chuma Yakumaru (Villain Factory): Trigger-enhanced operatives running small-scale operations.

Importance:

Cannon Fodder: Victor and Bye-Bites absorb damage in LOV raids, like the Deika City skirmish, allowing heavy hitters like Dabi or Shigaraki to focus on strategic targets. Their expendability makes them ideal for testing rival factions’ defenses.

Disruption: Sludge Villain’s amorphous body disrupts hero interventions (e.g., trapping Midoriya during a rescue), creating openings for Nomu or Jailbreakers like Ending. His impulsiveness, however, risks derailing LOV plans, as seen in his failed attack on Nine.

Espionage and Betrayal: Sam’s greed (noted in prior discussions) drives him to leak LOV plans to Wolfram or the HPSC, amplifying faction mistrust. His I-Island tech knowledge makes him a minor but critical asset to the Factory’s Trigger production.

Guerrilla Tactics: Mario and Chuma run Trigger distribution in Naruhata, stirring civilian unrest that distracts heroes from major battles. Their low profile keeps them under the radar, unlike high-profile Nomu.

Weaknesses: Lack of loyalty (Sam’s betrayals, Sludge’s recklessness) and limited power make them vulnerable to manipulation or elimination by stronger villains like Muscular or Overhaul.

2. MLA/Wolfram/Nine’s Minor Villains

Key Figures:

Cider House (Purse-Snatchers): MLA foot soldiers testing Detnerat gadgets.

Amplivolt, Takaie Kanigumo (Deika Operatives): MLA tech specialists and enforcers.

Hacker (Two Heroes): Wolfram’s tech support, managing the Technus Network.

Avant-G-G-Ds (Team-Up Missions): Explosion-obsessed mercenaries hired by Nine.

Importance:

Tech Support: Hacker’s Technus Network (from our Wolfram discussions) amplifies MLA/Wolfram/Nine’s tech advantage, hacking HPSC systems or disrupting Factory labs. Their role is small but pivotal in maintaining the alliance’s edge over Nomu tech.

Sabotage: Cider House and Avant-G-G-Ds execute hit-and-run attacks, like sabotaging HSH-CRC’s Quirk-destroying bullet shipments or blowing up Dark Might’s golem factories. Their chaotic tactics stretch hero resources thin.

Logistics: Amplivolt and Takaie manage Deika City’s defenses, deploying Detnerat drones to counter LOV’s Nomu. Their technical skills make the MLA a persistent threat, even after Curious’s death.

Weaknesses: Cider House and Avant-G-G-Ds’ lack of discipline risks collateral damage, alienating MLA’s civilian supporters. Hacker’s overreliance on tech makes them a target for HPSC mercenaries like the Volcano Thieves.

3. Humarise/Shie Hassaikai/CRC’s Minor Villains

Key Figures:

Octopus Clan (CRC): Anti-octopus-eating extremists targeting heteromorphs.

Eight Bullets’ Lesser Members (e.g., Setsuno, Hojo, Tabe): Shie Hassaikai’s disposable enforcers.

Eddie Soul (World Heroes’ Mission): Humarise’s tech operative.

Importance:

Terror Tactics: The Octopus Clan’s anti-heteromorph attacks (e.g., targeting Spinner’s allies) inflame tensions, drawing LOV retaliation and distracting heroes from larger threats like Overhaul’s experiments.

Muscle: Setsuno, Hojo, and Tabe execute Overhaul’s dirty work, guarding Quirk-destroying bullet labs or clashing with MLA’s Geten. Their loyalty to Overhaul (unlike Nagant’s defection) ensures reliability in small-scale operations.

Tech Support: Eddie Soul’s bomb tech (from World Heroes’ Mission) supports Humarise’s terrorist plots, rigging traps in Kamino Ward to slow heroes and rivals. His role amplifies HSH-CRC’s destructive potential.

Weaknesses: The Octopus Clan’s fanaticism isolates them from potential allies, while the Eight Bullets’ weaker Quirks make them easy targets for Muscular or Nomu. Eddie Soul’s tech reliance falters against Hacker’s superior skills.

4. Dark Might’s Minor Villains

Key Figures:

Ginji Kurau: Defected ally, managing golem production.

Simon, Ugo (Gollini Family): Loyal enforcers running Overmodification distribution.

Importance:

Logistics: Ginji’s organizational skills keep Dark Might’s golem army operational, supplying Overmodified thugs to overwhelm LOV underlings or HPSC mercenaries. His defection from a rival faction adds insider knowledge.

Enforcement: Simon and Ugo’s loyalty ensures Dark Might’s orders are followed, unlike Bruno and Paulo’s betrayal. They lead small raids on HPSC outposts, drawing hero attention from major battles.

Weaknesses: Overmodification’s side effects (e.g., Kamil’s berserk state) destabilize their operations. Their blind devotion to Dark Might’s ego makes them predictable targets for Stain or Hawks.

5. Hero Killers’ Minor Villains

Key Figures:

Abegawa Tenchu Kai (Rojiya, Tetsu, Haruhisa, Soji): Stain’s cult-like followers.

Starservant: Religious zealot spreading Stain’s manifesto.

Importance:

Propaganda: The Abegawa Tenchu Kai spread Stain’s ideology via guerrilla attacks, inspiring civilians (like Spinner’s book followers from our talks) and destabilizing HPSC’s image. Their small size allows stealthy strikes on corrupt heroes.

Disruption: Starservant’s orb-based Quirk creates chaos in battles, disorienting HPSC agents or Dark Might’s golems, indirectly aiding the LOV or MLA by sowing disorder.

Weaknesses: Their small numbers and lack of resources limit their impact. Starservant’s fanaticism risks alienating potential recruits, as seen with Sludge Villain’s defection.

6. HPSC’s Minor Villains/Mercenaries

Key Figures:

Volcano Thieves (Maguma, Konako, Tsumuji): Hired mercenaries from Clash! Heroes Battle.

Wild Villains (Curator, Zookeeper, Bearhead): Additional mercenaries from Clash! Heroes Battle.

Importance:

Firepower: The Volcano Thieves’ synergy (lava, ash, wind) makes them effective against Dark Might’s golems or LOV’s Nomu, as discussed previously. They bolster HPSC’s covert operations, targeting MLA safehouses or Factory labs.

Flexibility: The Wild Villains’ unique Quirks (Curator’s art manipulation, Zookeeper’s animal control, Bearhead’s brute strength) allow the HPSC to counter diverse threats, like Kunieda’s plants or Stain’s ambushes.

Weaknesses: Mercenaries’ loyalty is tied to payment, making them susceptible to betrayal (e.g., Wolfram’s deals). Their visibility draws Stain’s ire, risking exposure of HPSC’s corruption.

Importance of Minor Villains

Force Multipliers: Minor villains like Victor, Cider House, or the Eight Bullets amplify their factions’ reach, handling logistics, sabotage, or distractions that allow leaders like Shigaraki or Re-Destro to focus on high-stakes battles.

Catalysts for Chaos: Figures like Sludge Villain, Starservant, or the Octopus Clan create unpredictable disruptions (e.g., civilian unrest, hero ambushes), escalating the war and stretching hero resources, as seen in Kamino’s chaos.

Pawns in Betrayals: Sam, Hacker, and Ginji’s insider knowledge makes them pivotal in faction betrayals, echoing our discussions on Wolfram’s greed or Nagant’s defection. Their actions shift battle outcomes, like Sam’s leaks to Wolfram.

Narrative Weight: Minor villains reflect the war’s broader impact on society. The Abegawa Tenchu Kai and Octopus Clan’s extremism highlight hero society’s flaws (e.g., heteromorph discrimination, HPSC corruption), tying into my concern about systemic issues.

Expendability: Their disposability allows factions to test strategies (e.g., Trigger, Overmodification) without risking key players, but their deaths (e.g., Cider House in Deika) fuel faction grudges.

Heroes’ Response to the Villain War

Key Heroes Involved

All Might: The Symbol of Peace, leading hero efforts but strained by his injury.

Class 1-A (UA Students): Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, Uraraka, Iida, and others, still in early training.

Pro Heroes: Endeavor, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, Mirko, and less corrupt HPSC agents.

Hawks: A double agent, torn between HPSC loyalty and exposing their corruption.

Hero Challenges

Caught in the Crossfire: The evil vs. evil war creates unpredictable battlefields (e.g., Deika, Kamino), forcing heroes to respond to multiple threats simultaneously. Minor villains like Sludge Villain or Starservant target civilians, complicating rescue efforts.

Resource Strain: The HPSC’s corruption and mercenary hires (Volcano Thieves, Wild Villains) divert Pro Hero focus from protecting civilians to managing HPSC cover-ups, as seen when Hawks leaks intel to Stain.

Moral Dilemmas: Stain’s ideology and the HPSC’s exposed corruption (via Nagant, Aoyama) challenge heroes’ trust in the system. Midoriya and Iida grapple with Stain’s critique, while Endeavor faces Ending’s vendetta.

Inexperience: Class 1-A’s early-stage training limits their effectiveness against coordinated villain attacks (e.g., Nomu, golems). Minor villains like the Octopus Clan or Cider House exploit this, targeting weaker students like Mineta or Koda.

Hero Strategies

Divide and Conquer:

All Might and Pro Heroes: All Might leads strikes against high-profile targets (e.g., Shigaraki, Dark Might), while Endeavor and Mirko tackle Nomu and golems. Best Jeanist and Edgeshot focus on smaller threats like the Volcano Thieves or Abegawa Tenchu Kai, using precision to minimize collateral damage.

Class 1-A: Midoriya coordinates Class 1-A to protect civilians during battles, leveraging Bakugo’s firepower, Todoroki’s versatility, and Uraraka’s gravity to counter minor villains like Sludge Villain or Mario Kugutsu. Iida’s speed helps evacuate areas targeted by Avant-G-G-Ds’ explosions.

Exploiting Faction Rifts:

Hawks uses his double-agent role to sow discord, leaking Wolfram’s betrayal to the MLA or Overhaul’s plans to the LOV, weakening alliances. This mirrors our discussion on HPSC’s manipulation but risks backfiring if Stain exposes him.

Midoriya and Todoroki appeal to defectors like Nagant or Bruno, offering redemption to undermine HSH-CRC or Dark Might. Nagant’s disillusionment (from prior talks) makes her a key target for recruitment.

Countering Minor Villains:

Tech Disruption: Heroes target Hacker and Sam’s tech operations, with Kaminari and Momo disrupting Technus Network signals or Factory labs. This counters MLA/Wolfram/Nine’s tech advantage.

Crowd Control: Tsuyu and Shoji handle chaotic threats like the Octopus Clan or Starservant, using their Quirks to subdue mobs without escalating violence.

Containment: Best Jeanist uses fibers to restrain Sludge Villain or Eight Bullets members, preventing their hit-and-run tactics from overwhelming civilians.

Public Relations:

All Might and Endeavor publicly counter Stain’s propaganda, addressing heteromorph discrimination (echoing my Spinner book concern) to regain civilian trust. Uraraka and Asui lead community outreach to counter Abegawa Tenchu Kai’s influence.

The HPSC, despite corruption, uses media to downplay their role, framing villains like Dark Might or Overhaul as the primary threats, though leaks from Hawks undermine this.

Key Hero-Villain Clashes

Class 1-A vs. Minor LOV/Factory Villains: Midoriya and Bakugo confront Sludge Villain and Bye-Bites during a civilian rescue in Naruhata. Todoroki’s ice counters Mario Kugutsu’s Trigger-enhanced attacks, while Uraraka floats Chuma Yakumaru to disrupt their operations.

Pro Heroes vs. MLA/Wolfram/Nine Minors: Mirko decimates Cider House in Deika, but Amplivolt’s drones slow her. Edgeshot neutralizes Hacker’s tech, crippling the Technus Network temporarily.

All Might vs. Dark Might’s Minors: All Might crushes Simon and Ugo’s golem squads, but Ginji’s insider knowledge delays him, allowing Dark Might to escape initially.

Hawks vs. HSH-CRC Minors: Hawks outmaneuvers the Octopus Clan, but Eddie Soul’s bombs force him to prioritize civilian safety, exposing HPSC’s reliance on mercenaries.

Endeavor vs. Hero Killers: Endeavor faces Starservant and Abegawa Tenchu Kai, whose guerrilla tactics test his patience. Iida’s intervention saves him from a paralyzing strike by Stain.

Outcomes and Implications

Minor Villains’ Impact: Their roles as pawns, saboteurs, and propagandists amplify the war’s chaos, forcing heroes to spread thin. Sam’s betrayals and Starservant’s zeal fuel faction rifts, indirectly aiding heroes by preventing villain unity. However, their civilian-targeted attacks (e.g., Octopus Clan) increase public distrust, echoing my concern about hero society’s flaws.

Hero Struggles: Class 1-A’s growth is accelerated, with Midoriya’s leadership and Todoroki’s strategy shining against minor threats. All Might’s strain and the HPSC’s corruption weaken hero morale, but Hawks’ leaks and Nagant’s potential redemption offer hope.

Long-Term Effects: The war’s stalemate (from Part Two) leaves minor villains like the Volcano Thieves or Abegawa Tenchu Kai as lingering threats, requiring heroes to adapt to guerrilla warfare. The exposure of HPSC’s corruption (via Stain, Hawks) forces reforms, setting up Class 1-A’s rise as true heroes, as discussed in my Wolfram/Nexus Legion concerns.

Thematic Resonance: The minor villains embody the war’s collateral damage—pawns manipulated by AFO, Overhaul, or the HPSC, reflecting hero society’s failure to address systemic issues like discrimination or corruption. Heroes’ efforts to save civilians and redeem defectors (e.g., Nagant) highlight hope amidst chaos.

Imagine a scenario where Humarise, the anti-Quirk cult led by Flect Turn, wasn't just a formidable threat, but an apocalyptic force, having successfully forged alliances with some of the most dangerous and ideologically diverse villain groups and individuals. This expanded Humarise would represent an unprecedented, multi-faceted threat to hero society, leveraging a terrifying array of Quirks, scientific expertise, and sheer numbers.

Humarise's core philosophy, as seen in World Heroes' Mission, revolves around the "Quirk Doomsday Theory" – the belief that Quirks are a disease that will eventually destroy humanity, and thus must be purged. Flect Turn, with his passive Reflect Quirk causing him immense personal suffering, is the embodiment of this hatred. In this enhanced scenario, Flect Turn's manipulative genius and unwavering fanaticism allow him to bridge ideological gaps, coercing or convincing other villains to serve his ultimate goal of a "pure" world.

Here's how an alliance with other major villain factions would empower Humarise:

1. Dr. Kyudai Garaki (Daruma Ujiko) and His "Villain Factory"

Motivation for Alliance: Flect Turn's "Quirk Doomsday Theory" posits that Quirks will evolve to become uncontrollable, leading to humanity's destruction. Dr. Garaki, the mad scientist behind the Nomu, is the proponent of the "Quirk Singularity Theory," which also predicts an uncontrollable evolution of Quirks. While their ultimate solutions differ (purging vs. controlling/enhancing), Flect Turn could easily frame his cause as the ultimate solution to Garaki's predicted singularity, appealing to the doctor's scientific ego and offering him an unprecedented "living laboratory" for his research. Garaki, in turn, would see Humarise's global reach and fanaticism as a means to accelerate his own twisted experiments.

Contributions:

Mass-Produced and Enhanced Nomu: Garaki's primary contribution would be an army of Nomu. Instead of just a few High-Ends, Humarise could deploy a legion of these artificial humans, each with multiple powerful Quirks, tailored for specific combat roles or even "purified" (Quirk-less, or with their Quirks suppressed) to serve as seemingly "pure" enforcers.

Advanced Trigger Drug: Garaki could refine and mass-produce the Quirk-boosting drug "Trigger." This would allow Humarise's existing Quirk-using members (like the Serpenters) to become even more devastating, or even be used to force uncontrollable Quirk activation in targeted populations, accelerating the "doomsday" scenario Flect Turn desires.

Quirk Manipulation/Removal Technology: Garaki's ability to extract, duplicate, and transfer Quirks would be invaluable. He might develop methods to forcibly remove Quirks, creating "pure humans" from unwilling subjects, or even weaponize Quirk-erasing technology for Humarise's bombs.

2. Wolfram's Crew

Motivation for Alliance: Wolfram is a mercenary and arms dealer driven by greed. Flect Turn could offer him unprecedented access to resources, black market networks, and a global platform for his operations. The Quirk Amplifier, which Wolfram initially sought, could be mass-produced under Garaki's guidance, giving Wolfram a lucrative and powerful position within the new Humarise hierarchy, despite the inherent hypocrisy of an anti-Quirk cult using Quirk-amplifying tech.

Contributions:

Fortification and Tactical Combat: Wolfram's Metal Manipulation Quirk, amplified, would allow Humarise to quickly establish heavily fortified bases and control strategic locations. His crew, though smaller, are skilled combatants who could act as elite shock troops.

Weaponry and Support Gear: Wolfram's expertise in illegal Quirk support gear and weaponry would augment Humarise's Mooks, providing them with more lethal conventional arms and specialized equipment to counter heroes.

Resource Acquisition: His network would be crucial for acquiring rare materials, intelligence, and even recruiting other desperate individuals.

3. Creature Rejection Clan (CRC)

Motivation for Alliance: This is a natural ideological fit. The CRC already harbors intense hatred for heteromorphs and Quirk users, aligning perfectly with Humarise's "Quirks are a disease" rhetoric and "pure human" agenda. Flect Turn could easily co-opt their existing hate groups, offering them a global crusade and the "legitimacy" of a larger, more organized movement.

Contributions:

Fanatical Foot Soldiers: The CRC would provide a vast, zealous army of Mooks, driven by deep-seated prejudice. Their existing organizational structure would make integration easier.

Propaganda and Incitement: They could be instrumental in spreading Humarise's hateful ideology, inciting fear and discrimination against Quirk users, and fueling civil unrest, particularly in areas with high heteromorph populations.

Targeted Violence: The CRC's existing focus on attacking Quirk users would translate into brutal enforcement against those deemed "infected," creating terror and division.

4. Shie Hassaikai (Overhaul and the Eight Bullets)

Motivation for Alliance: Overhaul's ultimate goal was to restore the Yakuza to power by controlling and distributing a Quirk-destroying drug derived from Eri's Quirk. While his methods and ultimate vision differ from Flect Turn's (Overhaul sought control, Flect sought eradication), their shared interest in eliminating Quirks makes them potential, albeit volatile, allies. Flect Turn might offer Overhaul a faster, more widespread path to "purification" or promise him a position of power in the "new world" without Quirks. The Eight Bullets, loyal to Overhaul, would follow.

Contributions:

Quirk-Erasing/Nullifying Technology: Overhaul's unique Quirk and his research into Eri's abilities could accelerate Humarise's development of Quirk-erasing bombs or drugs, making their global genocide plan even more efficient and terrifying.

Tactical Disassembly/Reassembly: Overhaul's combat prowess, combined with the diverse Quirks of the Eight Bullets (Shin Nemoto's Confession, Rikiya Katsukame's Energy Suck, Kendo Rappa's Strongarm, etc.), would provide a highly skilled and destructive elite force.

Strategic Resourcefulness: Overhaul's experience as a Yakuza boss would add a layer of criminal cunning and resource management to Humarise's operations.

5. Vanguard Action Squad (League of Villains remnants, pre-PLF)

Motivation for Alliance: This is the most challenging ideological bridge. Many members of the Vanguard Action Squad (VAS) revel in their Quirks and use them for chaos. However, Flect Turn could exploit their existing grievances with hero society or offer them a world free from the rules and restrictions they despise. Spinner, a devoted follower of Stain's ideology (who targeted "fake" heroes), might be manipulated into believing Humarise's goal of "purification" is a radical form of societal cleansing that would lead to a "truer" world, even if it contradicts his own Quirk. Others, like Dabi, might simply see it as an opportunity for widespread destruction and chaos.

Contributions:

Diverse Combat Prowess:

Dabi (Blueflame): Widespread destructive power, creating massive firestorms.

Himiko Toga (Transform): Infiltration, espionage, and creating confusion.

Twice (Double): Mass production of clones, overwhelming numerical advantage in combat. This alone would make Humarise's forces virtually limitless.

Spinner (Gecko): While his Quirk is less directly powerful, his loyalty and ability to rally discontented individuals (especially heteromorphs, ironically) could be a propaganda asset.

Mr. Compress (Compress): Tactical support, capture, and transport of objects/people.

Muscular (Muscle Augmentation): Unparalleled brute force, capable of fighting top-tier heroes.

Mustard (Gas): Area-of-effect crowd control and incapacitation.

Magne (Magnetism): Battlefield manipulation and direct combat.

Psychological Warfare: The VAS members are known for their unsettling presence and willingness to cause psychological damage, which would amplify Humarise's reign of terror.

6. Other Villains from Fallen Groups or Independent

Nine's Crew (Nine, Slice, Chimera, Mummy): Nine's desire for a world ruled by the strong directly clashes with Humarise's anti-Quirk stance. However, Flect Turn might attempt to "cure" Nine's cellular degeneration, promising him a stable body in exchange for his powerful Quirk-stealing abilities. If coerced, Nine's multiple Quirks (Weather Manipulation, Air Wall, Hydra, Scanning, Bullet Laser) and his crew's formidable combat skills (Slice's hair manipulation, Chimera's animalistic traits, Mummy's mummification) would make them an unstoppable force.

Dark Might and the Gollini Family: Dark Might's obsession with being the "new Symbol of Peace" and his reliance on Anna's Overmodification Quirk for power would be a major point of contention with Flect Turn. However, the Gollini Family's vast wealth, international criminal network, and diverse Quirks (Alchemy, Delay Spot, Spatial Excursion, Day Dream, Monster Summon, Teleportation) could be leveraged. A temporary, uneasy alliance might be formed, with Dark Might believing he could eventually usurp Flect Turn, and Flect Turn seeing the Gollinis as a means to an end for global destabilization.

Stain (The Hero Killer): Stain's extreme, black-and-white ideology makes him an unpredictable ally. While he despises "fake" heroes, his respect for "true" heroes like All Might and his disdain for senseless violence would likely put him at odds with Humarise's genocidal plans and their hypocritical use of Quirk users. If he were to join, it would likely be under extreme manipulation, believing Humarise was a necessary evil to truly "cleanse" society, or he might act as a rogue element, targeting Humarise's own Quirk-using members.

Overall Impact of an Enhanced Humarise:

This expanded Humarise would be a truly terrifying global force.

Unprecedented Power: Combining Garaki's scientific genius and Nomu army, Wolfram's tactical fortifications and weaponry, the CRC's fanatical numbers, Overhaul's Quirk-erasing capabilities, and the raw, diverse power of the Vanguard Action Squad, Humarise would possess capabilities far beyond anything seen before.

Global Reach and Coordination: With existing international networks (Humarise, Gollini Family, Wolfram's arms dealing), they could launch coordinated attacks across multiple continents simultaneously.

Psychological Warfare: Their "purification" ideology, combined with the terror tactics of the VAS and the CRC, would sow widespread panic, distrust, and division within society, turning citizens against each other and against heroes.

Resourcefulness: They would have access to advanced technology, black market resources, and a seemingly endless supply of enhanced combatants.

League of Villains Members Likely to Join Nine

The LoV, without Shigaraki as its leader, would likely fracture, with some members drawn to Nine’s charismatic leadership and vision of a world where strength reigns supreme. Below are the LoV members most likely to join Nine, their motivations, and their roles in his organization:

Dabi (Touya Todoroki)

Motivation: Dabi’s hatred for hero society, particularly his vendetta against Endeavor, aligns with Nine’s goal to dismantle the current system. Nine’s ideology of strength-based rule would appeal to Dabi’s desire to see the weak (or “false” heroes) subjugated. The promise of power through Nine’s Quirk Amplification Device (from Wolfram’s arc) or stolen Quirks could further entice him, especially if it enhances his Blueflame Quirk, which is already destructive but limited by his body’s frailty.

Role in Nine’s Group: Dabi would serve as a heavy-hitting combatant, using his fire-based attacks to complement Nine’s Weather Manipulation (e.g., creating firestorms or amplifying heat with Nine’s storms). His strategic mind, seen in his manipulation of Hawks, would make him a valuable lieutenant, potentially rivaling Slice for influence.

Integration: Dabi’s independent streak might cause friction with Nine’s leadership, but his shared disdain for heroes would ensure loyalty, especially if Nine targets Endeavor. His synergy with Chimera’s fire breath could create devastating combo attacks.

Himiko Toga

Motivation: Toga’s fascination with chaos and blood, coupled with her desire for a world where she can express herself freely, aligns with Nine’s vision of a society unbound by hero-villain labels. Her emotional attachment to strong personalities (like Stain or Izuku) suggests she could be drawn to Nine’s charisma and power. The Quirk Amplification Device could enhance her Transform Quirk, allowing her to use stolen blood more effectively.

Role in Nine’s Group: Toga would act as an infiltrator and assassin, using her shapeshifting to gather intelligence or sow chaos within hero ranks. Her agility and close-quarters combat skills would pair well with Slice’s hair-based attacks, forming a deadly duo for stealth operations.

Integration: Toga’s loyalty would depend on Nine’s ability to indulge her chaotic tendencies. Her emotional volatility could be managed by Slice, who has a softer side, fostering a bond similar to Toga’s relationships in the LoV.

Spinner (Shuichi Iguchi)

Motivation: Spinner’s history of discrimination due to his mutant Gecko Quirk resonates with Nine’s and Chimera’s experiences of societal rejection. As noted in prior discussions, Spinner and Chimera could bond over their shared struggles, making Spinner a natural fit for Nine’s group. Nine’s vision of a strength-based hierarchy would appeal to Spinner’s desire for a world where mutants are respected for their power.

Role in Nine’s Group: Spinner would serve as a versatile fighter, using his agility and swordsmanship to support Chimera in frontal assaults. His loyalty to a cause (seen with Stain and Shigaraki) would make him a dedicated foot soldier, potentially leading mutant recruits from the CRC or other groups.

Integration: Spinner’s admiration for strong leaders would make him loyal to Nine, especially if Nine validates his worth. His bond with Chimera could strengthen Nine’s crew, creating a cohesive mutant faction within the group.

Twice (Jin Bubaigawara)

Motivation: Twice’s Double Quirk, which allows him to create clones, would be highly valuable to Nine, who could use clones to amplify his forces or test stolen Quirks. Twice’s loyalty to those who accept him (e.g., Toga, Hawks) suggests he would join Nine if offered camaraderie and a sense of purpose. His mental instability could be stabilized by Nine’s charismatic leadership and the promise of a world where his Quirk is celebrated.

Role in Nine’s Group: Twice would be a force multiplier, creating clones of Nine’s crew (e.g., Slice, Chimera, Mummy) or himself to overwhelm enemies. His clones could also serve as decoys, distracting heroes while Nine uses his Scanning Quirk to target key opponents.

Integration: Twice’s emotional need for acceptance would be met by Nine’s inclusive ideology, especially if paired with Toga. His clones could synergize with Mummy’s mummification, creating armies of controlled constructs.

League of Villains Members Unlikely to Join Nine

Some LoV members would likely remain loyal to Shigaraki or All For One, opposing Nine due to personal loyalty, conflicting ambitions, or ideological differences:

Tomura Shigaraki

Reason for Opposition: Shigaraki’s ambition to destroy everything and his loyalty to All For One make him a direct rival to Nine. As seen in Heroes Rising, Shigaraki kills Nine, viewing him as a threat or disposable asset. His Decay Quirk and leadership role would prevent him from subordinating himself to Nine, especially if Nine claims to be the “true ruler.”

Impact: Shigaraki would lead a splinter faction of the LoV, potentially including Kurogiri and Mr. Compress, to oppose Nine. This could lead to a villain civil war, weakening both groups but complicating Class 1-A’s efforts to defeat them.

Kurogiri

Reason for Opposition: Kurogiri’s loyalty to All For One and Shigaraki, stemming from his Nomu programming, makes him unlikely to defect. His Warp Gate Quirk is critical to the LoV’s mobility, and he would prioritize maintaining Shigaraki’s leadership over joining Nine.

Impact: Kurogiri’s teleportation would enable Shigaraki’s faction to launch guerrilla attacks against Nine, disrupting his plans. Nine might attempt to steal Kurogiri’s Quirk, but its complexity could challenge his All For One duplicate.

Mr. Compress (Atsuhiro Sako)

Reason for Opposition: Mr. Compress’s pragmatic and theatrical nature ties him to the LoV’s original vision under Shigaraki. His Compress Quirk is versatile, but his loyalty to the group’s camaraderie and Shigaraki’s leadership would likely keep him from joining Nine unless offered significant incentives.

Impact: Mr. Compress could act as a strategist for Shigaraki’s faction, using his Quirk to trap Nine’s allies or steal the Quirk Amplification Device. His defection to Nine is possible but unlikely without a clear power advantage.

Integration with Nine’s Existing Crew and Other Factions

Nine’s Core Crew (Slice, Chimera, Mummy):

Slice: Her loyalty to Nine and caregiving role would make her a stabilizing force for new recruits like Toga, with whom she could form a sisterly bond. Her hair-based Quirk complements Toga’s stealth and Dabi’s ranged attacks.

Chimera: His animalistic Quirk and shared discrimination with Spinner would create a strong partnership, potentially leading a mutant-focused subunit. His brute strength pairs well with Dabi’s firepower.

Mummy: His Mummification Quirk could control Twice’s clones or captured heroes, enhancing Nine’s battlefield control. His ninja-like style would synergize with Toga’s infiltration tactics.

Meta Liberation Army (MLA):

As previously discussed, the MLA’s ideology aligns closely with Nine’s, making them a primary ally. Members like Geten (ice Quirk), Skeptic (technological expertise), and Trumpet (propaganda via Voice Quirk) would join Nine, with Geten’s ice enhancing Nine’s Weather Manipulation (e.g., blizzards). Skeptic could work with Wolfram’s Hacker (if recruited) to disable hero communications, while Trumpet’s affability (noted in prior discussions) could rally recruits.

Wolfram’s Crew:

Wolfram, as a potential ally, would bring his Metal Manipulation and Muscle Augmentation Quirks, along with the Quirk Amplification Device. His crew (Swordkil, Daigo, The Hacker, Nobu) could join Nine, with The Hacker supporting Skeptic and Daigo complementing Chimera’s brute force. Wolfram’s greed might lead to tension, but Nine could appease him with promises of wealth or power, as suggested in prior conversations about his power-hungry nature.

Other Factions:

Shie Hassaikai: Unlikely to join due to Overhaul’s conflicting goals, but defectors like Kendo Rappa (noted in prior discussions) might be recruited for their combat prowess, aligning with Nine’s strength focus.

Humarise: Opposed due to their anti-Quirk ideology, but Nine could steal Flect Turn’s Reflect Quirk for defensive purposes.

Dark Might’s Group: Unlikely allies due to Dark Might’s ego, but Anna Scervino’s Quirk negation could be stolen to counter heroes like Aizawa.

Creature Rejection Clan (CRC): Opposed due to their anti-mutant stance, but Nine could recruit mutant members disillusioned with the CRC, leveraging Spinner and Chimera’s influence.

Strategic Implications and Class 1-A’s Response

Nine’s Strategy: With Dabi, Toga, Spinner, and Twice, Nine’s group gains firepower, stealth, loyalty, and numbers. He would use the MLA’s resources and Wolfram’s technology to launch large-scale attacks on U.A., aiming to steal One For All and dismantle hero society. His Weather Manipulation and amplified Quirks would isolate targets, while Scanning identifies key threats like Izuku and Bakugo.

Class 1-A’s Counter:

Izuku and Bakugo: Their One For All-enhanced abilities would target Nine, with Bakugo disrupting Air Wall and Izuku exploiting Nine’s health issues.

Todoroki and Kirishima: Could counter Dabi and Chimera, using ice to douse flames and durability to withstand brute force.

Tokoyami and Mina: Effective against Slice and Toga, exploiting hair-based weaknesses and stealth tactics.

Aizawa: His Erasure Quirk could neutralize Nine or Dabi temporarily, creating openings.

Momo and Kaminari: Would counter technological threats (e.g., Skeptic, The Hacker) with creations and electricity.

Outcome: Class 1-A’s teamwork could exploit Nine’s predictability and health issues, but the MLA’s numbers and Twice’s clones would make the battle grueling. Shigaraki’s splinter faction could inadvertently aid heroes by attacking Nine, creating a three-way conflict.

Conclusion

Analysis: The Creature Rejection Clan (CRC)

And Whether Spinner’s Actions After the War Could Revive Them

1. Who and What Was the CRC?

Full name: “Heteromorph Rejectionist Ideology Group”

A pre-quirk-era hate cult that survived into modern times

Core belief: Mutant-type (heteromorphic) Quirks = “impure,” “monstrous,” sub-human

They wore monk robes + skull masks, held “purification” ceremonies, and committed hate crimes

By the time we see them in the manga (chapter 218), they’re a pathetic shadow: broke, tiny, scattered into even more extreme splinter groups (“Animal Rejection Clan,” “Face Border Clan,” etc.)

The League literally walks into their temple, insults them, robs them, and slaughters every single member on-screen in about five pages. They die so unceremoniously that Tomura complains they didn’t even have anything worth stealing.

Official status after that massacre: 100 % extinct. No known survivors, no leadership, no money, no public support.

2. Why They Were Already Dead Before the League Showed Up

Society moved on. Mutant heroes like Gang Orca, Hound Dog, and Tsuyu are nationally beloved.

Overt heteromorph discrimination became socially unacceptable (at least on the surface).

The CRC became the equivalent of flat-earthers or KKK chapters in 2025: everyone knows they exist, but literally no one takes them seriously except the few dozen losers still wearing the robes.

3. Spinner’s Actions After the Final War – The Spark That Changes Everything

Here’s what actually happens post-war (manga chapters 412–427 + epilogue):

Spinner is the only League member left alive and free.

He writes and publishes a book: “The League of Villains – The Story of Shuichi Iguchi”

The book becomes a massive underground bestseller among angry, discriminated-against heteromorphs.

Giant heteromorph riots break out across the country (we see panels of thousands marching, burning cars, attacking “normal” people and police).

The old lady from Spinner’s rural hometown narrates that “the hatred and anger that had been bottled up for years finally exploded.”

An 8-year-old heteromorph child is shown reading Spinner’s book and saying “I want to be like Spinner when I grow up.”

Result: The biggest wave of heteromorph extremism in modern Japanese history is directly caused by Spinner’s memoir.

4. Could the CRC Actually Come Back Because of This?

Short answer: Yes, but not as the CRC. Something far worse will take its place.

Here’s the breakdown: FactorOld CRC (pre-war)Post-Spinner Landscape (now)Public supportAlmost zeroSuddenly massive among poor/disenfranchised heteromorphsMoneyBrokeUnknown, but riots show organization and fundingIdeology“All mutants are monsters”“Humans oppressed us → now we fight back” (reverse discrimination)Recruitment poolA few hundred craziesMillions of angry heteromorphs who feel the system failed themLeadershipDead cult priestsNo clear leader yet, but Spinner is now a martyr/icon

The original CRC is still dead. Nobody is digging up the skull masks. But the exact same hatred they represented has now flipped 180 degrees:

Old CRC: “Mutants should die because they’re freaks.” New movement (implied): “Humans should suffer because they made us feel like freaks.”

Conclusion

The Creature Rejection Clan as we knew it is gone forever — Tomura made sure of that. But Spinner’s actions after the war planted something much bigger, much angrier, and much more popular.

Analysis of the Creature Rejection Clan's Organizational Structure

The Creature Rejection Clan (CRC) represents a fascinating study in how extremist organizations evolve and fragment over time within the My Hero Academia universe.

Organizational Evolution

The CRC demonstrates a classic pattern of radical organization decline:

Origin Phase - Started as a protest movement against Mutant-type Quirks during society's early adjustment period

Radicalization Phase - Escalated from peaceful protest to violent crimes as they became more extreme

Decline Phase - Lost public support due to excessive violence, leading to dramatic shrinkage

Fragmentation Phase - Splintered into multiple smaller branches with specialized hatred focuses

Structural Characteristics

Religious Framework: Operated as a cult with temples, ceremonies, and religious habits

Uniform Identity: Members wore skull-shaped masks and religious robes, creating anonymity and group identity

Hierarchical Structure: Implied leadership structure managing various ceremonies and operations

Branch System: Multiple offshoots like "Animal Rejection Clan" and "Face Border Clan" with specific discriminatory focuses

Operational Methods

Ideological Purity: Extreme devotion to anti-Mutant beliefs

Territorial Behavior: Violent reactions to intrusions on their sacred spaces

Ceremonial Activities: Regular religious ceremonies reinforcing group cohesion

Resource Management: Operated temples/mansions as bases of operation

Organizational Weaknesses

Outdated Ideology: Described as "fossils of a past age" - their beliefs became increasingly irrelevant

Public Relations Failure: Extreme violence alienated potential supporters

Size Reduction: Dramatic shrinkage made them vulnerable to larger threats

Fragmentation: Division into smaller groups reduced overall power and coordination

Ultimate Vulnerability: Complete destruction by the League of Villains during a simple robbery
