Volume 4 (Vigilantes)/Extras

Extra pages from Volume 4 (Illegals).

The Column:About Hachisuka
My early concept notes for Hachisuka were things like "high school girl who’s a villain on the side” and "always shrewd and competent-as a villain she’s a smooth operator who clearly shows how hollow she is inside." Afterwards, I added elements like “eeriness about her that's hard to pin down" and "familial connection to Master.” The point that really defines her as a prototypical Vigilantes villain is how she acts on whims and doesn't have much of a pro mind-set. I often had her eating and drinking when she first showed up, as a way of emphasizing that she's committing evil in the midst of her everyday life

Behind the Scenes
The outfits they wore when tailing C.C. in the previous volume. When Pop is in street clothes she's usually walking around with Koichi. It's charming how much they look like close siblings.

-Furuhashi

Koichi's casual style is the ultimate in safe, inoffensive choices. (LOL) Pop's style isnt lame, per se, but it'shardly sophisticated. I struggle with her -Betten

The Feathers
Rough Design

Feathers Yu&Miu

Fundamentally the

same face, since

they're twins, but

Miu has sharper

expressions

Electropop motif

Behind the Scenes
The twins, Miu and Yu. Personaliy-wise, Miu is the…less pleasant of the two, but since they're dividing the twin labor, Yu also asserts herself to an extent.

As far as their background, I pictured them less as indie idols and more like girls who got thrown up onstage when some family member was putting on a live event. They're not too different from Pop, honestly...

-Furuhashi

The concept here was that you need both of them for that left-right symmetry.

Thinking back, I had wings in mind when designing them, rather than feathers. I wish I'd given them slightly softer looking edges.

Electric Eel Villain /Teruo Unagisawa
Electric Eel Villain

When on Trigger drug Unao

Behind the Scenes
Little Teruo went missing back in volume 1, and and now he's back with a bang. Clearly, strengthening the Eel Quirk results in Electric Eel. I also wanted his very body structure to undergo massive changes and get a big power-up..

-Furuhashi

When designing villains, my drive to make them visually distinct is always at odds with my desire to make them fun to draw. (LOL)
