as much as i adore the shie hassaikai arc and think it was executed fairly well, one thing that will always stick with me is that they introduced a villain, overhaul—potentially with strong opinions about quirk discrimination and specifically in regards to how the quirkless are treated—and then had midoriya fight him and it never comes up.

i'm not saying that overhaul should have been a sympathetic bad guy or redeemed at the end of the arc (though i do think that's something that could have been pulled off, if horikoshi wanted to explore that route with him), but, that i think the shie hassaikai arc should have been a chance for midoriya to revisit his past—bullied for being quirkless—and then reaffirm something about his current beliefs.

here is a ragtag group of villains who pulled the short stick with their quirks. here is a villain boss who would prefer a world where everyone is quirkless. what would midoriya izuku—the formerly quirkless, quirk enthusiast nerd—say to these people?

overhaul had potential to be a villain who could challenge midoriya's thinking and force him to reflect on his childhood. but most of the arc focused on lemillion and eri, and only briefly touched on overhaul and some of the eight bullets' feelings in regards to their quirks, and how society orbits around quirks.

it could have been really interesting if, for all that overhaul is the absolute worst guy ever, he (against all odds) is the one person who feels strongly about quirkless people. and midoriya wants to say no, you're wrong and you're a villain, but he can't fully invalidate everything overhaul says because he experienced being quirkless firsthand.

and so midoriya must reflect and go: yes, you might be right about how quirks (something people are born with or without) unfairly dictate how people are seen and valued in our society. but that doesn't mean quirks are inherently wrong, and that certainly doesn't justify any of what you've done or what you plan to do.

i think chisaki kai was in some way supposed to be interpreted as eri if she wasn't saved. the child experimentation backstory, the utter lack of joy in anything, the loss of innocence. the way that when chisaki talks to eri it almost sounds like he's just echoing something that was once said to him. the way that even pops seemed to think that chisaki and eri's situations with their quirks were similar.

most importantly, was the fact that chisaki spent the entire arc wearing a mask. we never saw his mouth. even in the flashbacks where he wasn't wearing a mask, his face was blotted out by shadow. so here's the thing: the focal point of the subsequent school festival arc was "eri hasn't been saved yet, she hasn't yet learned how to smile". here's another thing: we never see chisaki smile. if anything, the very suggestion of a smile is preemptively invalidated by the fact that he's always covering his mouth up.

maybe i'm just reading too much into something that clearly horikoshi has no intention of touching on himself. but i've always thought that the significance of chisaki's mouth being concealed is that it's a metaphor for his inability to smile.

he's so far beyond the point whereas he could have been "saved", when he could have learned to smile and find the little joys in life, that he no longer even has a mouth to learn how to smile with.

overhaul could have been a much nastier villain if he wanted to be. because like. if his quirk is literally just shigaraki's "decay" quirk... but... with an addition power to reassemble in any form he wishes... then it's like. chisaki kai could have touched the ground and disintegrated an entire city and then rebuilt it. if he wanted. but he didn't because he only really wanted to revive the shie hassaikai.

though i actually wonder if chisaki kai could not use "overhaul" in the same way shigaraki uses "decay", as the description of "overhaul" might indicate that he can't use the first half and not the other. like, sure he can disassemble something and then reassemble it in such a way that it no longer serves its original function, like it's just broken now, but he still has to put it back together. and maybe that consumes mental energy— like he has to think about what form he's reassembling stuff in. and if you apply this to the scale of an entire city, well, it's probably too many details to imagine at once.

therefore, overhaul could not deconstruct an entire city, whereas shigaraki could, because pure destruction requires zero attention to detail, whereas reconstruction requires at least a vague understanding of what you want as an output.

but it's interesting because learning that "decay" is spliced from "overhaul" does at least imply that "overhaul" can spread to other things. which actually makes sense, because we do see chisaki kai reconstructing entire rooms. depending on whether you consider the walls, floors, ceilings, etc of a room to be a single entity or separate entities that are adjacent to one another.

i do think that chisaki kai could have done some truly supervillain stuff with his quirk, if he wanted destruction on the level that shigaraki did. he had the potential to be a massive endgame threat, but he never uses his quirk on such a large scale. partially, because he wanted change (in society) and revival (of the shie hassaikai), never destruction.

also, i think, because he expresses disgust towards quirks in general, even to the point of not liking to use his own. some other metas i've seen have commented on the hypocrisy of chisaki kai claiming to hate quirks, but then also over-relying on his own. but i'd actually argue that chisaki kai doesn't gratuitously use his quirk. like it doesn't appear that he's comfortable with using it, in the same way characters like bakugo or hawks are, who have had their quirks their entire life and grown used to using them, even without thinking, and for mundane tasks.

chisaki kai doesn't use his quirk for mundane tasks. he even wears gloves, which he physically has to remove in order to use his quirk on other objects. and the fact that the gloves aren't actively affected by his quirk means that they're not for practical reasons (to stop him from unconsciously using his quirk on objects) no it's literally just because he's a germaphobe who also hates quirks.

there is a purposeful extra step, a distance between chisaki kai and "overhaul", which proves that he doesn't use his quirk lightly. if he used it often, then the gloves would be incredibly impractical. i'd also argue that with how ubiquitous "overhaul" is, chisaki kai is quite notably not using it in many cases where it could absolutely be useful. why not use it to cook? to organize and clean your room? (some people headcanon he does this, but he never does in canon)

the fact of the matter is that chisaki kai deeply underutilizes "overhaul", on purpose, only using it when it's absolutely necessary to reach his goals, because he hates quirks. but if he wasn't held back by his own aversion to quirks, and maybe had a more far-reaching goal, well. i think there's a reason overhaul was nerfed at the end of his arc.

Do you think in the most twisted, misguided, disgusting, and almost idiotic way, Chisaki saw his young self in Eri, and thought he would be to her what the boss was to him. Like. This lost young orphaned child with nothing but the clothes on their back taken in by a Yakuza. That's literally their only similarities but do you think Chisaki decided that was enough? That he should be the one to "save" her?

I know it sounds ridiculous but just stick with me here.

This single image from chapter 136 screams so fucking much about Kai's brain and his relationship with Eri to me. Because ask yourself. "Why doesn't Kai just put Eri into a coma like he did The Boss?" Because that would solve so many of his problems. No chance of Eri escaping. No chance of any Heroes finding out about her. There'd be minimal resources spent on her since all he needs is to keep her alive regardless of physical condition. It literally solves everything, it almost feels like a plot hole. But then you remember the fact that Eri was entrusted to Kai by The Boss, and then you take another look at the image above, and it kinda clicks, doesn't it?

He doesn't do that because he genuinely, truly wants to take care of Eri. He might even really see himself as her father figure. And I think that makes so much sense, especially with his other relationships. Case in point, Shin Nemoto.

We saw the results of Shin using his Quirk on Kai, and he says straight up, "I like you, I trust you, your presence makes me feel at ease." And he didn't even seem shocked or upset after saying it, so it wasn't a truth he was unaware of or didn't want Shin to know. That's simply how he felt, cut and dry. But, with that being the truth, he was more than willing to use him as an expendable asset, have him be a fall guy after the raid with the other Bullets, and fuse with him, which he seems to believe will fucking kill him. That's not Kai using a pawn: That's just how Kai is with someone he cares about.

So, it wouldn't be far fetched to say, the same applies to Eri, and that really does recontextualize every one of their scenes, huh?

"You're the centerpiece of my plan."

"To this girl, you're no hero."

"You're cursed, every action you take kills someone."

"Someone else is going to die because of you!"

"She doesn't want you."

None of this is manipulation or scare tactics or anything like that. This is just what Kai thinks of humans. That he can hurt and pull and abuse them in the worst ways possible, and do it over and over again, and not understand when they want to run away. And I feel like him being raised in one of Garaki's "orphanages" just rubs salt into this wound.

Because, he takes care of Eri, doesn't he? He gets her toys and a pretty room and a soft bed, and he's nice and calm with her, doesn't even use his quirk to kill her and bring her back to life painfully as punishment! He doesn't seem to be physical with her at all, outside of the blood extractions. She has everything a girl could ask for, and she spurns him? Runs from him? Well, no matter. That's just how children are. Ignorant, illogical, they just don't make sense.

...It's such an incredibly fucked up way of thinking. And I think it's ingrained so deeply in Kai's mind because it's what he thinks he never had.

I think the way he treats Eri is how he thinks loving parents would have treated him. Pretty toys and nice clothes and good food and absolutely nowhere in his mind does any genuine relationship dynamics or aspects of unique personality come into play because after years and years of not having it he just. Doesn't. Get it.

So that's why it's lacking in his relationship with Eri. In all of his relationships, really. Because The Boss took him in and loved him and cared for him and Kai knows that but he doesn't understand that. So he's trying his best to "love" and "raise" Eri by being an empty photocopy of a parent at his best, because that's all he is. That's what defines Kai, till the very end.

He's empty. And so is his love. So Eri's room will always be full.
