My Hero Academia

A fairly intensive googling has turned up precisely jack shit, so yeah I think these may not be a thing.

Oh, nope. Found it. It's the +alpha one they've started doing for some reason.

Stendhal is definitely our boy Stain.

Something I've been wondering about: can Bakugo only make explosions from his hands? We've only seen him do it from his hands and practically speaking doing it in other places wouldn't be nearly as good but I'm just wondering theoretically.

If he can, I'm envisioning a situation that's super fucked up where he thinks he's going to die or trying to protect someone or something, and he just goes full-body explosion. He wouldn't die but it would mess him up good. And considering the level of violence we're seeing now, I'd buy it.

I think he makes nitro with the sweat glands in his palms or something as an official explanation so he can only make them from his hands.

Those character bios only elaborate on things we've seen. I know we've never seen him do explosions from anywhere else, I was just musing on if it's theoretically possible, and what that would mean.

It'd be funny and kind of gross if he did have all sweat glands are explosive.

He could go full terrorist

I'm pretty sure the gloves on his costume are specifically mentioned to channel sweat from his palms into his wrist gauntlets.

Shit it be epic if Bakugo ever does a full body explosion.

He'd truly be Nitro in that case.

Heh (That was a reference to a Marvel supervillain literally called Nitro whose superpower is blowing up his body).

You know, I wonder if we're going to get more backstory on Overhaul about whether his motivations for doing things the way he is are purely practical or if there's something more going on with him.

The way those older guys talk about how he's turning them into a villain organization, and his self-admitted goal of "killing justice" and talk of the "hero sickness". It makes me wonder why he actually wants to be a yakuzu if he's operating so far out of their norm.

He's probably realized Yakuza can't exist in the current world unless you change things, even if that means becoming the thing Yakuza hate.

Kirishima and Bakugou on an aquarium date.
That's a cool shirt. Also kinda hot.
Probably unheroic behavior.◊
All Might as disabled representation
Then and now Shinsou

Is it raining on that person's parade to point out that "disabled" All Might is "disabled" in that he's just an ordinary person most of the time, and besides the coughing up blood joke doesn't really seem to be hindered?

Probably.

He got a crippling injury in his career though.

Yes, and said crippling, means that he's just a normie most of the time. And his normie self is his true self so calling it a disability might actually be a bit problematic...

He's never mentioned as having any health issues in his normal form right?

He had a lot of surgeries, theoretically he probably would still have a lot of health issues, but that never really comes up. Again, aside from the coughing up blood jokes.

Edit: Though I'm probably just overthinking this a bit. If someone feels better about themselves because of this, could for them.

He looks like a zombie as the Zombie Ova makes a joke about it. It was hilarious

I've seen hypothetical healthy All Might, but sadly the artist I liked who did it closed their twitter account.

He lost his stomach and suffered a lot of damage to his respiratory system. That does seem like it would have a day to day impact on him. Eating and breathing and all. Especially now that the last flickers of One For All have all but burned out and he's left with no stomach and busted up lungs.

So he most likely does have health issues but its never gone into detail what he deal with aside from the blood coughing.

Though considering he's the world's numba 1 hero he prolly has access to excellent medical care.

Also that Shinsou is very sweet & the one with Tsuyu is hilarious as that's exactly what I would do with an extendable limb, heheh.

I can kind of see why they identify with him. By the series own admission he is pretty weak and frail during it due to his nasty injuries. Someone whom coughs up blood regularly isn't necessarily what you'd call healthy physically.

He still clearly tries his hardest though and achieves it with flying colors so I can see why someone whom is crippled or physically disabled in some way could identify with that. An injury like that could of easily ended his career right then and there when it occurred but he still pulled through and kept going until his quirk left him.

I mean, all of that's true, but that person didn't reference any of that. And I acknowledged that yeah, those things should lead to issues, but it's not usually portrayed as such. Because the nittygritty is frankly unimportant to the story.

By that logic, I wonder if there's anyone offended in the concept of Deku, a "disabled" person who basically got the chance to get rid of his disability. Or, if not offense, maybe wish fulfillment?

I don't think Izuku even counted as disabled in-universe. But as far as wish-fulfillment, yeah it's pretty much that, but that's what most fiction is to a degree.

Actually he does by technicality if you account for most of the world's population having quirks. I imagine most of the people whom don't have quirks are from the older generations were quirks were either first started appearing or where first going through social and political ruts.
