After getting hit by a full-power smash, Goto admitted Izuku is powerful and decided to stop holding back. Izuku was able to land a powerful smash against him on two separate occasions because he allowed himself to be distracted by Kota Izumi.ĭespite his ego, Goto does compliment Izuku's strengths. His overconfidence is also what caused him to become distracted during their fight. This superiority complex resulted in Goto using only part of his power to toy with Izuku. Goto believed himself superior to Izuku Midoriya because his Quirk's augmentation powers were more potent than Izuku's. Goto's signature trait is his overconfidence which later proved to be his greatest flaw. He even spoke highly of the heroes to their son. Conversely, Goto accepts the loss of his left eye as the result of Water Hose's intent and bears them no ill will for it. When he fought Water Hose, he viewed it as a battle of wills between his intent to kill and Water Hose's intent to stop him as he was victorious, he was right and Water Hose was wrong. To him, 'right' and 'wrong' are determined by one's ability to accomplish their intentions. He believes that people should deliver on whatever promises they make to others or else their words mean nothing. Unlike most of the other members of the Vanguard Action Squad, he joined the League of Villains just to let loose with his brutal tendencies, rather than following Stain's ideology.Įven so, Goto does have ideals of his own. Goto enjoys killing and tormenting those he fights, often saying 'show me your blood!'. He openly admits that he wants to use his Quirk freely to kill. Personalityīefitting his appearance, Goto has a very sadistic and bloodthirsty personality.
