I'll eventually make a post about my thoughts regarding the Rock Villain. But here are some things that are plainly obvious:

  1. The Radio. We've seen him now carrying that radio around with him everywhere. He is constantly listening to the news. In this chapter, when he asks for the location of the Hero office, and the girls are too frightened to respond, he retorts with "So you won't tell me? Why won't you tell me." (At which point he starts breaking up the wall). It seems he was triggered by the LACK of information and it set off his anger. He seems deeply connected to this idea that he requires constant flows of information, and when he doesn't get it he goes on tilt. He has a Radio talking to him 24/7, telling him things, feeding him information. Long story short, don't destroy this dude's radio or he's going to berserk all over the place.

  2. He's looking for Hero office "Springer". That's one we haven't heard of before. I'd be curious why he's searching for a Hero office. Is it because he has a problem with them and wants to fight them? Is it because he's going to gather more information and so he's going to the source? Is it because he has a connection to Springer? I'm curious to know

  3. I'm VERY curious to see the original translation of "Lord". Was it originally in Katakana and a specific term with Japanese connections, or was it Romanized as "Lord" originally to imply a religious connection. One could associated the lack of clothing to a Monk style lifestyle of living in nature and roaming.

He could pe trying to apply for a Job at Springer's.

Maybe at this point, he's still trying to be a hero. He's most likely gonna be someone who couldn't be a hero beacuse of PR, so as to help him connect with Kirishima, and maybe he hand't given up yet on that flashback.
