My Hero Academia

Shinsou never thought he couldn't be a hero, he just was either avoided by most or dumb people would make tactless comments about his Power Perversion Potential. The reason why he applied for the Normal Class instead of the Hero Class is because already figured beforehand that he would fail the Hero Class test, as his quirk requires a human target and UA doesn't use human mock-villains anymore.

Point stands, he was treated a certain way because of his Quirk.

I do think a prequel series dealing with the growing prevalence of quirks, the rise of All for One, and maybe following the journey of the first few generations of One for All users would make for a rockin' story.

An AFO/OFA origin story flashback would likely cover that

Maybe have the protag be quirkless at first, until he winds up getting on the wrong side of a villain.

He winds up grabbing the guy in an attempt to protect himself, and then suddeny he has the villain's quirk.

Shocking twist the protag was AFO the whole time.

One For All is All For One◊ :O

Mileena Madness

I'm guessing that anti-quirkless bullying isn't as pronounced as it could be, given that even among people with quirks most of them seem are so low key they're basically normal people. It's not like 80% of the populace have straight-up superpowers. I know I'd rather be quirkless than end up with a quirk like "having the head of a wild boar" or something like that. I mean, I'm sure there's some, but I doubt it's on the "quirkless minority downtrodden by the superpowered majority or anything".

Yeah, Bakugo's bullying of Izuku wasn't just because he was Quirkless, that was just the icing on top of the "Deku is the worst guy at everything" cake for him.

And the rest of the class probably joined in on making fun of Deku because Deku specifically wanted to be a hero. Considering All Might's first response to Deku's "Can I become a hero even if I'm Quirkless" question, a Quirkless hero probably is so absurdly against common sense. Bakugou took it a step further and kept implying that Deku can't do anything period, but that's just his personal insecurities.

You know we've been talking about Mirio's future role and all that a lot but it occurs that me that Mirio really comes off as more of a prop than a willing actor.

He has no idea about One For All, or what Nighteye was grooming him for, or that there is apparently a "competition" between him and Izuku, at least as far as Nighteye sees it.

To him it's just about becoming the best hero he can be and helping out an underclassman.

On the quirk discrimination thing, it's technically illegal for most people to go around using their quirks in public anyway, so unless you're a delinquent or a crook your quirk is mostly gonna be a moot point.

No worries. (Why does this keep happening with us?)

Chapter 91. The heroes are raiding the Villain Alliance hideout, Bakugou's just been rescued, Gran Torino makes an entrance knocking out Mag-nee and two other villains, so All For One force-activates the magnetism to knock the Alliance into Blackmist's portal.

Speaking of Tiger, I really hope we see the Pussycats again if only to know that Ragdoll is doing well.

Also in the case of quirkless villains I think it be cool if one was inspired after Stryker from the X-Men franchise.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

I wonder, besides All For One and the quirk destroying bullets, has there ever precedent for anyone actually losing their quirk. It certainly doesn't sound like they're making AFO's stealing it public knowledge.

I've always wondered about that. I mean there are Quirks that are obvious like Bakugo's or the Crawlers that tend to get picked on. But there are also passive quirks and less obvious Quirks as well. I mean is anyone really going to call out Bakugo's mother for self-mosturising in public. Or for that matter Deku's mother is she uses her telekinesis to pick something up.

And that's not including the purely physical Quirks. You can't really call out someone like Fourth Kind for using his extra hands to carry or pick up extra stuff.

That has been addressed in supplementary information. Basically it's like jay-walking; technically illegal but as long as you aren't actively engendering yourself or someone else no one is going to make a fuss if you use your Quirk in public for a second.

And, I mean, the laws in question are obviously not about passive things like whether or not you have extra-limbs, that would just be ridiculous.

As long as you're registered and you're not endangering anyone or being flagrant about its usage, it's probably okay. One of the reasons the idol girl from Illegals is considered an illegal would be due to the last point.

Yes, the example that I saw used was that if Inko (Izuku's mom) drops her phone or something on the sidewalk, no one is going to bat an eye if she uses her Quirk to pick it up.

Which is why they made so much fuss about Hosu trio's fight against Stain. Legally they are as unlicensed and unqualified as any other citizen out there, so they cannot set a precedence of allowing laypeople to use the Quirk to attack others. They really can't make the story public and not address the violation.

If they did go to court though, I think the boys could have gotten away with relatively light punishment. Self-defense is apparently okay, so fighting to defend someone else who's blatantly about to be killed by a known serial killer would be quite an extenuating circumstance. If they were just three random high school kids who just happened to have strong quirks, I think they might not have bothered with the cover-up. They'll be in legal trouble sure, but in the end they're minors and anyone can understand why they acted the way they did, so I think any remotely decent attorney could get them out of serious consequences. Iida might complicate things though by admitting that he sought Stain out for personal vendetta and attacked with intent to kill. As long as he shuts up about his motivations, his faults will pretty much boil down to not notifying authorities (his supervisor in this case) and acting on his own, but he's gonna give his lawyer a headache.

The police gave them a big lecture and then suggested to cover the thing up probably because they are hero trainees. Violent Quirk usage by unlicensed person is not only against the law but also against the moral code of institutionalized heroism in their world. If they are just ordinary kids they can go through some legal trouble and then continue on with rest of their lives. They'll even get immense bragging rights for taking down the notorious hero killer. But the Hosu trio are trying to become professional heroes, and this kind of offense is definitely going to be a black mark in their records. The police really did them a favor by offering to sweep it under the rug.

Well, looking at it that way, Iida would be in the biggest bit of trouble, because he's the one who deliberately went looking for Stain.

Deku and Todorroki might be ok because they only went to help a friend (hell, Deku's plan was to find Iida, then run, and the fight only lasted as long as it did because there were two people to rescue instead of 1) and had no intention of breaking any rules.

Thing is as well, they weren't just civilians that got caught up in the incident and were forced to defend themselves, they were on-duty trainee heroes that sought out the Hero Killer themselves for what is basically vigilante justice (though Deku and Todoroki could get away by testifying that they were never after the Hero Killer).

EDIT: Actually, rereading the above two posts you've basically said everything I wanted to on it.

Having watched the filler episode about everyone else's internships, did Endeavor received any punishment like the other mentors after the Stain incident? Seeing the news report about him addressing the press about the incident made me notice he didn't look all that enthusiastic about it. Kind of makes me wonder if his punishment is taking the credit for a criminal take down he had little to do with, even if he was intending to go after Stain. Given Torodoki was more involved, Endeavor probably would have given him more credit if it wasn't illegal (as well as boast about his son, however lesser it would have been compared to him personally dealing with Stain).

With a "0", not an "O".

I now blame Knuckleduster for Stain's arc.

Eh Stain would have gone Batshit anyway. I for one applaud the Old Fuck for that punch.

"You can reply to this Message!"

I do like how even though I'm not sure how canon this spin off is, when he does become Stain he does have same type of insane creepy charisma even though hes not as coherent he later becomes in main series

Stain, the Origin.
