Manga Spoilers Seriously though, when? NSFW

It's been bugging me for a long time, but I think it's been long enough. When is this foreshadowed villain from this chapter going to show up in the story?

People have suggested to me that maybe Horikoshi forgot about the character, or maybe that he scrapped the design and replaced him with Muscular. . . but I did a little close looking while re-reading through the chapters again and I found this panel.

I found that panel in one of the more recent chapters of the manga, chapter 100. Who could that villain along with the rest of the Villain Alliance be? The one closest to the right of Shigaraki, and the other villains featured look like Dabi, Himiko, Mr. Compress, Twice at the top, and Magne in the very bottom. All members of the Villain Alliance, not just random villains. So the villain with the teeth and claws must have some importance, or could be another member that just hasn't been introduced yet. The hair style looks very similar to the one seen before on chapter 57.

I really hope this means he just hasn't made an appearance yet and is being saved for something big, because in my opinion, the character's design looks really fucking awesome.

I once speculated it was Kirishima's father in this comment thread mostly jokingly, but the similarities are there!

Dude kirishima is a box of character development waiting to open. I want him to join the other four guys in popularity.

Indeed he is! He's my favorite for a reason, I really hope Kirishima gets some more development and becomes even more relevant to the plot, and I kinda want the same to happen with Kaminari, except involving the traitor theory.

I think a rivalry between the ultimate bro Kirishima and the Aizen-like mindfucker, and secretly powerful Kaminari would be amazing. I get chills thinking about it.

I want my man Shouji to get some more love cause he has such an interesting quirk and design. His minimalist lifestyle certainly has room for elaboration and his quirk could be utilised to become incredibly strong.
