"**Overhaul**", also known by his real name **Kai Chisaki** (in Japanese: 治崎 廻 *Chisaki Kai*), is a major antagonist in the anime and manga series *My Hero Academia*.

He is the leader of the Shie Hassaikai, a Yakuza organization comprised of villainous Quirk-users. Following the defeat of All For One, Chisaki believes he is destined to become the next ruler of the criminal underworld and plans to destroy the current Quirk society and return the Yakuza to its former glory.

He was voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dub, he was voiced by Kellen Goff. He was voiced by Ho San Lee in the Korean version of the anime.

## His Cool and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him a Guile Villain?

* He has a tragic past since he lost his entire family and was homeless before being taken in, but he destroyed any tragedy he had with his actions and the fact the boss tried to raise him benevolently and guide him on a better path, yet Kai chose to use drugs and do things against the Boss's will.
* While he would occasionally give Eri some gifts, it was only to manipulate her and gain her loyalty so she wouldn't run away.
* When reminded of Eri after being rescued by Deku, he only focused on how he could use her powers to wake up his boss, showing no remorse for his treatment of her, something Deku calls him out on.
* He did express some form of sentiment to the League of Villains, intending to bring out their full potential, but he was still only using them for his goals and demonstrated no genuine care for them.
* His motivation is well-intentioned, but his end result is not as it would bring about cultural genocide and let villains rule the world. Thus, he isn't an extremist.
* He has genuine love for his boss, seeing him as a father figure and was attempting to bring the Yakuza back to power in order to pay him back his “debt” due to his boss taking him in as a child.
* He only put his boss in a coma when his boss threatened to kick him out of the yakuza, genuinely believing he was acting in the boss’s interests and that it was for his own good, even intending to bring his boss out of his coma once he finished his plan.
* After having his arms severed (which gets rid of his powers), he panicked while remembering his boss and realized he can’t undo what he had done to him and when released from his cell in Tartarus, the first thing he does is call out to his boss, affectionately referring to him as "father".
* The guilt of his boss still being in a coma appears to have almost completely broken his mind, as Kai can only think about him. He doesn't focus on anything else, continuously muttering that he wants to see his boss again after having broken out of Tartarus, demonstrating how much he means to Kai.
* He displays some regret for what he did to his boss, as he really wants to reunite with him now and later admits that he wants to apologize to him, and he almost cries but does not start to do so.

### What Makes Him Evil?

* Even as a child, he had violent tendencies and would kill people for disrespecting the Yakuza, causing fights with rival gangs.
* He willingly made his boss ill in order to take control over the Yakuza after he found out about what he planned to do towards Eri.
* He brutally tortured Eri (a child and his boss’s granddaughter), putting her through a childhood of abuse by cutting her arms and legs open to collect her blood cells. Once she ran out of blood he would deconstruct her (which kills her and is noted by Chisaki to be a very painful process) and then reconstruct her, which happened presumably hundreds of times. He also put constant blame on her to make Eri feel as though she deserved her punishment, calling her cursed and putting the deaths of those killed by him on Eri's hands.
* He killed off and horrifically fused the Reservoir Dogs with wreckage (although he did bring them back afterwards).
* When Eri escaped and stumbled upon Lemillion and Deku, Kai attempted to lure them back in an alley and murder them both, only stopping when Eri comes back to him.
* He will kill anyone who touches him or calls him by his first name.
* He takes in suicidal people just to use them as human shields.
* He killed Magne and blew off Mr. Compress's arm simply for touching him.
* He is brutal toward his minions, killing them without remorse if they happen to fail him or using them if he needs a human shield. Even Tomura Shigaraki was appalled by his lack of regard for his henchmen.
* One of his minions, Rappa, tried to defeat Overhaul, but every time, Overhaul would kill him off with his quirk and reconstruct him.
* Murdered Sir Nighteye (making him the first villain in the series to kill a major hero) and tried to kill Deku and Lemillion. He also severely injured Lemillion by impaling him with his spiked rocks and destroyed Lemillion's Quirk for a bit by shooting him with a quirk destroying bullet, even taunting him about this.
* He threatened to kill his minions unless they fought the heroes with him, leading to them all being arrested.
* He fused with Shin Nemoto and later Rikiya Katsukame against their will, allowing him to take complete control over their bodies.
* He attempted to destroy all Quirks via his Quirk-destroying bullets so that the Yakuza (a criminal organization) could rule the criminal underworld.
* He assisted Lady Nagant and All For One in trying to capture Izuku.
* He angrily calls Izuku a "diseased maggot" and tells him to shut up when he tries to speak despite Izuku saving his life moments earlier, showing how ungrateful he is.

## Trivia

* Due to his abuse of Eri (a Pure Good) and considering how many fans feel bad for her due to Kai abusing Eri for a very long period of time, Kai Chisaki is one of the most hated villains in the *My Hero Academia* franchise due to his torture of his boss's poor granddaughter. This makes Kai stand out as one of the most evil villains in the franchise alongside All For One, Flect Turn, Kuin Hachisuka, Number 6 and Muscular.
	+ However, Kai is possibly regarded as the most evil anime character ever created in history (besides Johan Liebert and Sōsuke Aizen), because he tortured a Pure Good hero for a long time, attempted to mastermind a genocide against an entire culture, kills anyone who touches him, and uses suicidal people for his own safety.
* Kai is currently the only Guile Villain from the *My Hero Academia* franchise.
