==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

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

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...

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

The ensemble members who all burst onto the scene in chapter 21. There are a lot of characters here (four in each group), but only the squad president and the guitarist actually get fleshed out, with the others just sort of being there.

Only the dance squad president had those specific design points, which gives me an idea about Furuhashi-san's preferences. (LOL)

Feathers

Behind the Scenes

Pop, the twins, the dance squad and the band come together to form the FeatherHATS, and these are their costumes. Each member basically gets his or her original costume, in addition to the hat with a feather on it.

The band members just got a feather on their preexisting hats. How slapdash! (LOL) -Furuhashi

CONGRATULATIONS ON VOLUME 4! KNUCKLEDUSTER REALLY IS THE GREATEST!!

Message from KOHEI HORIKOSHI

EXPLANATION

The following Episode Zero ran in Jump GIGA 2016, vol. 2. It's a special chapter that's like a movie trailer.

In order,to emphasize the connection to My Hero Academia as much as possible, we have guest appearances by various pro heroes and U.A. students. However, in the actual continuity, Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods hadn't made their debuts yet, and Deku and friends would've still been in elementary school.

Just think of it as a non-canon feature!
