My Hero Academia Creator Reveals Dabi Almost Had a Marvel Ghost Rider Tie-In
Regarding the intense battle between Dabi from “My Hero Academia” and his brother Shoto, it’s not surprising that the creator, Horikoshi, chose to honor Marvel’s flaming-skulled hero. In fact, during a recent interview at UA Academy, Horikoshi revealed his original plan for Dabi’s final form, which was intended as a tribute to Ghost Rider. He had envisioned Dabi having a giant companion and mentioned, “I had this vague image of ‘He has a giant patron and…'”. The line about Dabi getting motion sickness easily when attacking Overhaul’s convoy was a remnant or carryover from that concept.
