>can't stand the mangaShit taste. Hero Academia paces itself such that it translates to motion VERY well, but it still leaves out a lot of smaller moments that are important to establishing themes, moods, and motivation.
That said, who you want to know about is Stain. Stain is a very low powered villain (though given how injury works in the setting, he could theoretically kill all might just fine) who's basic goal is to overthrow the entire system where government approved heroes get money for their work. His reasoning, kept brief without his exact wording, is that this is degenerate and does not breed true heroes. The world is rotten if it calls people who works for compensation heroes.
When he is introduced, he already has reputation as a hero killer. In the end, he's only caught by pure dumb luck
and his unwillingness to kill the one person he's found he acknowledges as truly heroic, but the setting is left with this uncomfortable hanging question about his ideology. Also the ultimate truth that every city he killed heroes in having a drastic drop in crime the likes of which PRO HEROES couldn't match. Even locked up, Stain continues to threaten society thanks to growing amounts of sympathizers.
Hand On Face is kind of an unfortunate one to clock out on. The entire point of him (at that point in the story) is that his ideals are not fully formed. He's still like a manchild without ideals. He only wishes to destroy without considering WHAT drives him to do this. It's in large part thanks to Stain that he starts to solidify his ideals and look inward at WHY he wants to destroy heroes. His mentor even introduces him to Stain precisely to show him what a man of conviction looks like and why it's important.
One of the central themes of MHA is precisely what the nature of a hero is. Even All Might isn't a flat figure.
