Stain's Principle
In the rich tapestry of hero narratives within the realm of manga and anime, few characters have left as profound an impact as Stain, the enigmatic antagonist from Kohei Horikoshi's "My Hero Academia." Stain's principle, a belief system centered around the purification of heroism through the elimination of "fake" heroes, is a moral and philosophical cornerstone that challenges the very foundation of the hero society portrayed in the series.

This essay endeavors to dissect Stain's principle, exploring its ideological underpinnings, its implications within the world of "My Hero Academia," and the paradoxical nature of Stain's respect for All Might.
