So although it is a little surprising that the anime is again getting him into the limelight, we can certainly expect this to have some role in the overarching plot. Compared to most other side characters, Red Riot has already received quite a lot of development in this season and almost one whole episode has been devoted to his development. As suggested in the post-credits scene of Episode 8, the next one will again emphasize on Red Riot and will also shed some light on how he works with Fatgum as a team. Since the main focus of Episode 8 was on Suneater’s character, the next episode will now highlight the development of another side character.

So we can expect the next few episodes to be all about the battles between the heroes and the villains who try to stop them from rescuing Eri. Considering how strategically he plans all of his moves, for obvious reasons, the heroes will not be catching him any time soon. Instead of breaking under the pressure, Overhaul unleashes his strong army of other villains on the heroes and casually flees the scene with Eri.

In episode 8, as the villains try to rescue Eri from him, it seems like he has always been prepared for something of this sort. All we know is that he’s using Eri for creating the quirk destroying drugs and has something much bigger planned for the future. This season, so far, has been more of slow-burn, and even now, there isn’t much we know about Overhaul’s ulterior motives. SPOILERS AHEAD!
