Dabi

Dabi (荼毘) is a villain affiliated with the League of Villains and a member of the organization's Vanguard Action Squad. He and the rest of his team serve as the main antagonists of the School Trip Arc.

Appearance
Dabi is a skinny young man with dark, spiky hair. His most striking features are the long light purple patches along his body that apparently lack skin, over which he wears stitch-like piercings.

He wears dark pants that reach above his ankles and a dark coat over a simple light shirt, along with dark shoes. He also wears a belt and what appears to be a small leather pouch around his waist.

Personality
Dabi appears to lack manners as he did not attempt to introduce himself to Tomura; he even blatantly disregarded Tomura's question about his real name.

However, despite his personality, he has great respect towards Stain and his philosophy, as it resonated very well with him and he intends to be the one to finish his mission of a better future.

History
Dabi has committed many crimes, but they were mainly petty crimes that didn't stand out. After Stain's defeat and his backstory revealed to the public, Dabi became inspired by Stain's ideology and decided to join the organization that was widely believed to harbored Stain's cause; the League of Villains.

Field Training Arc
Dabi begins to move after he listened to Stain's declaration.

End of Term Test Arc
When Tomura Shigaraki becomes displeased with his visitors and orders Kurogiri to send them away, Kurogiri asks him to be patient and listen to what the visitors have to say because they were scouted by The Broker. The Broker agrees with Kurogiri about letting the visitors introduce themselves. Instead of introducing himself after Himiko Toga introduces herself, he questions if they follow a cause. He tells Tomura he goes by Dabi and will reveal his real name when he needs to and explains that he will be the one to fulfill Stain's ideals. Tomura, angry at Himiko and Dabi for talking about Stain, prepares to attack them; Himiko and Dabi prepare to defend themselves. As the three clash, Kurogiri uses his Quirk to stop the fight. Afterwards, Tomura storms off, with Dabi commenting on Tomura's creepy attitude. Kurogiri asks The Broker to wait a few days for their reply regarding Dabi's registration.

School Trip Arc
Days later with most of the Vanguard Action Squad, Dabi looks over the Yuuei camp site and proclaims that they will be a warning flare and that the gallant heroes will be dragged back down to earth, all for the sake of a better future. Being asked by his teammate to allow him to strike early, Dabi asks everyone to shut up and mentions they'll be carrying out the plan once all ten of them have assembled. Ten minutes later on the ground, burning the trunk of a tree with his Quirk, Dabi declares that it has begun. While the other villains target the students and The Pussy-Cats, Dabi aims for Shouta. Dabi surprises Shouta at the facility and quickly takes him out with a fire attack from behind. Shouta dodged the attack though and, after a quick battle, captures and ties up Dabi. As Shouta starts interrogating him and threatens him with further torture, having already broken one arm, Dabi's body suddenly becomes liquid and Shouta's Capturing Weapon slides through him, before he completely dissolves. Somewhere in the forest, Dabi questions how weak he is, since the clone failed and the fight ended quickly; Twice rebuffs Dabi's claim. Dabi orders Twice to make two clones of him so that he can resume his fight, and Twice complies.

Eventually, Compress manages to capture Katsuki and informs Dabi along with the rest of the Vanguard Action Squad. At the rendezvous point Dabi notes that their only action now is to wait for their fellow villains. However, Dabi states that there is no gas or walls of fire to make the escape better. Dabi relents and accepts that plans don’t always go accordingly, Dabi spots the bush Yuuga is hiding behind, much to Yuuga’s fear. Dabi prepares to go and check, however, he stops after Twice informs him that they must also call back Noumu since he only responds to Dabi. Dabi recalls the Noumu. Dabi and Twice wait for their fellow villains to reach the rendezvous point. Himiko has arrived with Dabi asking how her mission went, only for Himiko to reply that she could get the blood of one person. Twice is unimpressed and wonders why Himiko is excited, to which Himiko replies that she found a boy she is interested in. As Himiko and Twice converse, Dabi orders them to keep quiet.

Dabi sees something approaching them;  Izuku, Mezou and Shouto smash Compress onto the ground and then apprehend him. Dabi is seemingly displeased while Twice contradicts his knowledge about the identity of the Heroes.

Dabi orders Mr Compress to move, which he does. Dabi launches his flames at Izuku, Mezou and Shouto. Shouto dodges but Izuku and Mezou are hit and injured by Dabi's flames. As Himiko and Twice fight Izuku, Mezou and Shouto, Mr Compress prepares to give Dabi the captured Fumikage and Katsuki, only to find that the marbles are not in his pocket. After Mezou reveals that he took the marbles from Mr Compress, Dabi calls Mr Compress a fool, but the magician calmly tells him to wait and see what happens.

Soon, Kurogiri arrives to retrieve the Vanguard Action Squad. After Himiko, Twice and Noumu teleport away, Dabi and Mr Compress also prepare to leave, although Dabi is distressed that they do not have Katsuki. However, Mr Compress relieves Dabi's concern by revealing that the compressed Katsuki and Fumikage were in his mouth all the time and the marbles Mezou stole were Shouto's compressed ice. As Dabi and Mr Compress prepare to leave, Yuuga fires his Navel Laser at Mr Compress's face, breaking his mask and causing Mr Compress to spit out Katsuki and Fumikage. Mezou is able to retrieve Fumikage; Shouto nearly succeeds in retrieving Katsuki, but Dabi snatches the compressed Katsuki from Shouto. With Katsuki in their grasp, Dabi orders Mr Compress to deactivate his Quirk, to which he does. Fumikage and Katsuki return to normal. Dabi grabs Katsuki as they nearly finish teleporting. Dabi, Mr Compress and Katsuki successfully teleport away from the training camp.
