Seriously what Quirk did he have that let him think that dressing up as a Native American would work.

Totally forgot that we never found out what Native's quirk was. Probably because there's nothing he could have that would justify that costume.

Native's quirk was basically the same as that streaker Hawks took out that one time. Except instead of getting more powerful the more embarrassed he was, he got more powerful the more uncomfortable he made everyone else.

Native's hero agency was staffed entirely by heroes that are tributes to those ethnic stereotype superheroes from Superfriends. He's Apache Chief.

Leave it to All Might's biggest fan to snap him out of his funk. :allears:

Honestly, I really want to crack a joke about Stain being the superhero equivalent of those idol fans, but I can't get it quite right.

It still wouldn't have been great but if he'd been along the lines of Warpath and Thunderbird on X-Men, explicitly, I imagine the grimace level would be much lower.

To bring light to the darkness, whether that darkness be ignorance, injustice, apathy, or stagnation.
I choose to believe that Native was targeted because Stain went out of his way to kill cultural appropriators too

Had Native lived he would've been forced to rename by his agency to WASHINGTON FOOTBALL MAN.

Well I mean he is Ainu and decided to base his costume on the Indigenous Americans.

I think it's way easier to just go "The imagery has a general association in Japan that is not the same as it is in the US and sometimes gets used without realizing the loaded context behind it" like all the other times it comes up than try to justify why it's different.

Native is just really into Speed Ball Run and Sandman is his favorite character.

Goodguy Stain just recognised a fellow superfan and wanted to hang out, when the villain Ingenium attacked him mostly unprovoked.

Native just really dug Disco. He's part of a small agency that has Cementoss, a cop hero (lol fantasy series), a leather daddy hero (Midnight exists why not), and Selki.

They're the Township Folk.

Unrelated to anything, how did the anime do with Sad Man's Parade? I don't feel like catching up just to potentially be disappointed by that, too.

I'm reminded of Bravely Second having a Native American job that was censored internationally into being a cowboy.

It was ok. A little bit slideshow-y but I feel that's understandable given the number of Twices, and it was nowhere near as bad as that Mirio scene.
