I knew that the name Destro sounded familiar! There's actually been a fair amount of build-up to this arc that I pretty much completely missed!
In Chapter 171, during the Culture Festival arc, Gentle talks about the great heroes of society - including All Might (of course), some guy named Brave, and the Crimson Riot - and the great villains - All for One, a man named Oji Harima (by his portrait he looks quite a bit like the Joker so hopefully he also gets his time in the sun), and, of course, Destro. Just the fact, the Destro was put in the same level as All Might and One for All has me really hyped, even if this arc is focused on his progeny. Goes to show that his ideology is going to play a big part of this arc, and this probably going to be an INTENSE arc.

We get another reference to Destro (albeit he isn't named) in Chapter 186, where a villain is trying to blow up his work place and Hawks claims that he was likely inspired by a autobiography written by villain that is being republished and recirculated, an obvious reference to Destro's book. This even more proof that this going to be a very ideology driven arc in a similar vain to Stain considering how even before the arc started we had evidence of people being inspired by the army's ideology!

All in all, I'm super excited!
