===[[Forest Training Camp Arc]]===
 
Moonfish, [[Shuichi Iguchi|Spinner]], and [[Kenji Hikiishi|Magne]] meet up with the other members of the Vanguard Action Squad at the [[Wild, Wild Pussycats|Pussycat's]] forest reserve on a mountain overlooking the U.A. students training camp. He mumbles about the mission, repeating that he has work to do.{{ref|name=ch73}}

Once the mission to capture [[Katsuki Bakugo]] begins, Moonfish stumbles through the forest in search of the target.{{ref|chap=73|ep=41}} He happens upon [[Fumikage Tokoyami]] and [[Mezo Shoji]], and attacks them with his quirk.

He is eventually confronted by Katsuki and [[Shoto Todoroki]] and turns to them while asking them not to distract him from his work.{{ref|chap=75|ep=42}}
 
 
Katsuki rushes Moonfish, prompting the villain to activate his [[Tooth Blade|quirk]]. The blades nearly pierce Katsuki, but Shoto blocks them using his own [[Half-Cold Half-Hot|quirk]] to build a wall of ice. Katsuki tries to counterattack, but Moonfish's quirk keeps him at a distance. Shoto tries to freeze Moonfish with an ice attack since the boys can't use their fire-based quirks while in the forest. Moonfish avoids the attack using his teeth to move between the trees. He suspends himself upside-down in the air and asks his adversaries to show him their flesh.{{ref|chap=78|page=6-8|ep=43}}

Moonfish further manipulates his teeth and attacks Shoto's ice walls with the tooth blades. He nearly strikes Shoto, but he evades and continues defending himself with walls of ice. Moonfish stops attacking when he notices Fumikage's gigantic Dark Shadow heading towards him while tearing through the forest. The villain tries to attack Dark Shadow and is instantly crushed by one of its arms.{{ref|chap=79|page=15-18|ep=44}} He recovers a few minutes later and angrily tells Dark Shadow not to steal his prize before attacking it again. Dark Shadow makes short work of Moonfish by crushing his teeth in its hand before throwing Moonfish across the forest and incapacitating him.{{ref|chap=80|page=2-4|ep=44}}
 
 
Some time afterward, [[Atsuhiro Sako|Mr. Compress']] message concerning the success of their mission is broadcast to all of the members of the Vanguard Action Squad, but the bound villain is slumped up against a broken tree and completely oblivious to his teammate's announcement.{{ref|chap=81|page=4|ep=44}}
 
 
Later, after the rest of the Vanguard Action Squad escapes with the fruit of their labor, leaving the defeated members of their group behind, Moonfish is arrested by the [[Police Force]], still unconscious.{{ref|chap=83|page=4|ep=45}}

Synopsis
Pretty. So pretty. No. This is work. So alluring. But no. Can't... Pretty flesh. Gah! So enticing though... Gotta do the job.
Moonfish in "Stake Your Life, Hero!"

Moonfish (ムーンフィッシュ Mūnfisshu?) is a villain affiliated with the League of Villains and also part of its Vanguard Action Squad. He and the rest of his team serve as the main antagonists of the Forest Training Camp Arc.

After being defeated and arrested, he is sent to Tartarus prison, where he waits to be executed.[2]

Appearance

Moonfish is a fairly tall man who stands over most of his allies in terms of height. He has fair skin and black eyes. Most of his physical body cannot be seen because the suit he wears encompasses his entire body.

Moonfish wears a black straitjacket that only leaves his mouth exposed. The suit is held together by black restraints decorated with red spikes. These same restraints connect to metal clamps that cover Moonfish's head and keeps lips open, often causing him to drool. Other straps go across Moonfish's torso, waist and the top of his boots.

Personality

Moonfish is an insane, laconic individual who constantly talks to himself and is fascinated with consuming flesh. He has a habit of repeating key information to himself to stay focused on his objectives.[3] Moonfish can get distracted if he encounters flesh, including living people or severed limbs. His obsession even leads him to closely inspect and admire Mezo Shoji's arm after Moonfish severed it.[4]

Moonfish's actions are almost completely dictated by his crazed obsession. He likely only joined the League of Villains to gain access to more flesh rather than following the ideology left behind by Stain. Moonfish warned Shoto and Katsuki not to get in the way of his work because their flesh would distract him. During the ensuing fight, Moonfish constantly told them to show him their flesh.[5] He also attacked Dark Shadow out of anger because it interrupted the aforementioned fight and deprived Moonfish of his "prize".[6]

Abilities

Overall Abilities: Being one of the strongest members of the Vanguard Action Squad, Moonfish exhibits great experience and skill while in battle. Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo, two students who are considered to be more powerful than the average Pro-Hero, could barely defend against Moonfish's onslaught. Though it should be noted that both students were hindered in using their fire-based Quirks whilst being in a burning forest. It took the full power of Fumikage Tokoyami's Dark Shadow to defeat Moonfish in a single attack.

Quirk

Blade-Tooth (歯刃 Shijin?): Moonfish's Quirk gives him the ability to lengthen, sharpen, and manipulate his teeth into a web of powerful blades.
