Oji Harima - Tumblr Posts
Anyone else think that Mr. Compress would be a better fit villain for Uraraka than Toga? From what we know he is the great-great-grandson of the peerless thief that stole money from wealthy pro heroes and gave it to civilians and that Atsuhiro himself follows his path of exposing the corruption and injustice of the pro heroes. By the way Oji Harima is still considered one of the worst crimials even though the guy is literally the Robin Hood of BNHA.
- Used to be a magician who was barely scraping along. Is what HK said about Mr. Compress’s past, that is so far (bnha 315) all we have of his past.
And considering his theatrical ways you’d think he was a good magician.
My guess here would be that he wasn’t allowed to use his quirk (who he definitly has full control over, so no need to persume he’d be a threat to accidentally injure someone) so he was stuck doing card tricks we have in our world or something similar. That lead to him seeing pro heroes getting money for using their quirks, despite doing actual damage even (I mean Mount Lady in a big city, really?), while he had to find ways to live a basic live, because he wasn’t allowed to use his quirk for magic tricks to make a living. Which lead to him persuing his great-great-grandfathers ways of taking money, just more in a Jesse James way of stealing from the rich, but keeping for himself.
Which leads me back to Uraraka.
Her driving focus of becoming a pro hero is to help her family financially, to the point where she skips meals to save money. While her want to become a hero was already there for other reasons, this is her motivation: to keep her family financially secure, because pro heroes make good money.
Besides the fact that Uraraka’s backstory is an early sign of flaws within the hero society it would make her be a perfect antagonist for Atsuhiro Sako, who’s literal lineage is: pro heroes make too much money, while civilians are too poor to live.
On the other hand someone who has control issues with his quirks that lead to others being endangered like Tokoyami would be a better fit for Toga (also Hawks killed Twice, Tokoyami is Hawks student, would make for some amazing conflict).
Idk if I'm on crack but they kinda do be looking kinda similar
