My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi admits his latest Dabi designs feature Resident Evil influences.
My Hero Academia has been around for years now, and its creator has tied in tons of pop culture nods to the story. From Star Wars to DC Comics and even theme parks, My Hero Academia is a treasure trove of references. It can be hard to spot all the nods, but netizens do their best to suss out what Kohei Horikoshi has hidden throughout the manga. And now, the artist has confirmed our suspicions of Dabi's ties with Resident Evil.
The whole thing came to light in My Hero Academia volume 39. The manga release just went live in Japan, and it was there Horikoshi posted plenty of behind the scenes secrets. In one section, Horikoshi listed his favorite art featured in volume 39, and he had something interesting to say about his Dabi pick.by u/NatMat16 in BokuNoHeroAcademia "I drew this piece with the goal of it looking like it came from the game Resident Evil," Horikoshi wrote.
If you are caught up with My Hero Academia, Horikoshi's reference to Resident Evil with Dabi is hardly shocking. The villain has always had a macabre design given his scars, burns, and stapled skin. However, things only get worse in the page of volume 39. Dabi's final stand against Shoto Todoroki and Endeavor is akin to torture. Dabi all but cooks himself alive to show up his family, but the Todoroki gang is not one to crumple easily.
After all, Resident Evil hardly needs an introduction. The iconic video game series is known for its ghoulish, gory designs. From zombies to werewolf and fungal parasites, Resident Evil has it all, and every bit of it is made to look terrifying. And sadly, Dabi's dive off the deep end has made him look the part of a Resident Evil boss.
