Goto's bloodthirsty nature and battle efficiency earned him the epithet, "The Carnal Murderer". Though red-blooded, Goto does sustain some form of injury after a bout, such as his missing left eye caused by his confrontation with Water Hose. By infusing his heightened brawn into his melee combat abilities, he overwhelms his opponents with blurring speeds while delivering heavily reinforced strikes, making him a highly formidable force to face in battle. Goto also has a great handle on his Quirk, which he used to exponentially increase his physical might in parts of his body, or his whole body. His incredible combat aptitude allows him to single-handedly overpower, and potentially kill, his adversaries, most notably, Water Hose. Overall Abilities: Goto is a very dangerous villain, being one of the strongest members of the League of Villains' Vanguard Action Squad. Goto easily contends with Izuku Midoriya, a One For All inheritor. When questioned about his motives, he tells Izuku that his only wish is to live every day to the fullest and cause all the bloodshed he can muster so that he can die with no regrets, even telling the young hero not to waste time with trying to understand him, demonstrating Goto's destructive and incorrigible nature. Unlike most other villains, Goto doesn't seem to have any true end goal in mind, only wishing to kill and rampage until his heart's content. He also gets bored easily against enemies that are unable to match him, and inquires if there are any stronger fighters around, as shown during his battle against Grand and the Ketsubutsu Academy High School students.

He later gains a twisted sense of respect for Izuku, being overly eager to fight him again during their second encounter. However, this never stopped him from taunting Izuku during their bout. After getting hit by a full-power smash, Goto admitted Izuku is powerful and decided to stop holding back. Izuku was able to land a powerful smash against him on two separate occasions because he allowed himself to be distracted by Kota Izumi.ĭespite his ego, Goto does compliment Izuku's strengths. His overconfidence is also what caused him to become distracted during their fight. This superiority complex resulted in Goto using only part of his power to toy with Izuku. Goto believed himself superior to Izuku Midoriya because his Quirk's augmentation powers were more potent than Izuku's.

Goto's signature trait is his overconfidence which later proved to be his greatest flaw. He even spoke highly of the Heroes to their son. Conversely, Goto accepts the loss of his left eye as the result of Water Hose's intent and bears them no ill will for it. When he fought Water Hose, he viewed it as a battle of wills between his intent to kill and Water Hose's intent to stop him as he was victorious, he was right and Water Hose was wrong. To him, "right" and "wrong" are determined by one's ability to accomplish their intentions. He believes that people should deliver on whatever promises they make to others or else their words mean nothing. Unlike most of the other members of the Vanguard Action Squad, he joined the League of Villains just to let loose with his brutal tendencies, rather than following Stain's ideology.Įven so, Goto does have ideals of his own. Goto enjoys killing and tormenting those he fights, often saying "show me your blood!". He openly admits that he wants to use his Quirk freely to kill. Personalityīefitting his appearance, Goto has a very sadistic, brutal, and bloodthirsty personality. Underneath this, he wears a red tank top, a dark jacket that hangs around his waist, dark green pants (which are red on the cover of Volume 9), and black knee-high boots.

His outfit consists of a black, hooded cloak and a white hockey mask with multiple holes. While facing Izuku for the second time, he crushes and carves a piece of rock to use in place of his left prosthetic eye.

As of his appearance after the Paranormal Liberation War, Goto's hair has grown longer and he has developed stubble all over his chin. He has a large scar going across the left side of his face, his left eye replaced with a prosthetic one, and he has another, smaller scar on the right side of his forehead. Goto is a large, bulky, and extremely muscular man set wide with short, spiky, and sandy blond hair with small black eyes.
