User blog:Lover of the Muse/Destro of the Quirk Liberation Army

Yoriyoshi Nakajima (中島自由 Nakajima Yoriyoshi) also known as Destro (デストロ Desutoro) is the leader of a paramillitary terrorist group called the Quirk Liberation Army. he was defeated and imprisoned in Tartarus decades ago but escaped alongside All for One. He serves as the main antagonist of the Quirk Liberation Arc.

Appearance
Destro is an old man with long hair that he wears back into a ponytail. He wears a paramillitary uniform with a rat insignia on his sleeve (the symbol of the Quirk Liberation Army). There's a black blotch on his face that functions as a sort of mask.

Personality
Yoriyoshi Nakajima is a proud and charismatic firebrand who beleives the laws regulating quirk usage are stiffling people's individuality and natural gifts (what he calls their "true selves") in favor of conformity and mediocrity. Due to his strong ideology Desto desires to overthrow the government and institute what he sees as a freer and fairer society.

Destro talks a lot about "freedom" but he certainly doesn't believe that "all men are created equal". Destro is anti-egalitarian and despises the quirkless, seeing them as beneficiaries of a repressive system that enforces their mediocrity on everyone else. This prejudice is shared by most members of his organization.

History
During Yoriyoshi Nakajima's heydey the Quirk Liberation Army was a force to be reckoned with and were rivals to All for One's criminal empire.

When All Might was still in High School, Destro's headquarters was raided by a group of heroes led by Nana Shimura. He and his liutenents were defeated and taken to Tartarus, With it's leadership decapitated the Quirk Liberation Army collapsed.

Destro remained in Tartarus for thirty years until the Tartarus Jailbreak.

Abilities
Overall abilities: Destro remains physically strong and hasn't lost any of his mental faculties despite his advanced age, though he does admit he isn't strong or as agile as he used to be. Another weakness of Destro is that he relies way too much on his quirk in combat.

Charisma: more dangerous even than his quirk is Destro's ability to convince others to fight and die the name of his cause.

Quirk
Pyrotechnics (パイロテクニクス) Destro can generate and launch bombs, explosives, and other volatile constructs that have various yields from his body and then can manipulate them. Destro's bombs don't need to detonate on impact, he can make them explode immediately after leaving his body (therefore simulatin Bakugo's explosion abilities), he can set them on a timer or can detoante them remotely whenever he feels like it.

Tartarus Jailbreak Arc

 * Destro and Oji Harima vs Stain
 * Destro and his liutenents vs gaurds

Quirk Liberation Arc

 * Destro vs Katsuki Bakugo
 * Destro vs Izuku Midoriya
 * Destro and his liutenents vs Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo

Izuku Midoriya
Having been in prison for the entire duration of All Might's heroic career and having never grown up quirkless, Destro has no point of reference to understand Izuku Midoriya.

Katsuki Bakugo
Destro attempts to give a "you and I are are not so different" speech to Bakugo but it fails because he misreads Bakugo. Destro thinks Bakugo wants to be a hero because otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to use his quirk and guesses that Bakugo must feel suphocrated by beurcracy.

"Idiot! I didn't come to UA just because I wanted to use my work, I came because I wanted to use it to defeat villains.

"I don't just want to be a hero so I can use my quirk, I want to be a hero so I can use my quirk to defeat villains!"

Tomura Shigaraki
Like Stain and Overhaul, Destro helps Shigaraki develop into a more mature and formidable villain. Destro inspires Shigaraki to start attacking the government instead of merely going after heroes.
