[up][up][up]I'm pretty sure Iida's parents are retired now. And Tensei obviously is to because, yeah. So the whole Ingenium thing is solely on him for the time being.

The Iida Family's Engine Quirk seems really "genetically" strong, I guess, if it's been prevalent for at least three generations. I wonder if that's normal, or if that's just coincidence or if there's something specifically about it that makes it more likely to be passed on to offspring.

Ok, the fact that Iida actually grows engine parts like they're biological makes his quirk a little weirder in my book.

Was that not already obvious, though? Not that they could grow back, but that they are a part of his biology.

I guess it just never occured to me. Like my mind never made the logical step from "he has engines in his legs" to "his legs grew engines inside them."

I mean, this is a series where the main character took a season to learn that microwaves spin, and then another to realize that he has legs, so I actually fit right in there.

Speaking of biology, I just find myself really mystified how Bondo (in Round 4) works.

[up][up][up][up][up] I guess I assumed when Iida said hero family I thought of a whole dynasty of heroes that includes cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews, & nieces.

With Iida now in line to be the family head after Tensei.

I'm moderately interested in Iida's mother. They said she was a hero too, but she probably married into the family, so I wonder what her Quirk is.

Though I want to see more of the students parents, in general.

I'm sure we'll see all of them at some point...

Also, I'm curious, is Tetsutestu's advantage here specifically because he's steel or just because he's hardened, you think? Like, could Kirishima do the same thing?

I feel like with the fire at least it's the former, but I'm not totally sure.

I'm not sure. We know Tetsu has different weaknesses from Kirishima, so it's not illogical to assume he has different strengths as well.

It doesn't seem like he could pull of something like Unbreakable, and from what we've seen he can't only harden part of his body at a time like Kirishima can.

I'd say if Tetsu^4 actually becomes steel (ala Colossus from X-Men) I would be seriously worried about what Todoroki might bust out. Rapid heating and cooling is not good for iron and iron-based alloys, especially steel.

Tetsutetsu probably becomes some sort of bio-super steel that can take much more than any real steel (heh) could.

Is it his whole body or does it just cover his skin?

I'm inclined to say just his skin. When he gets hit too much in the same place, you can see flesh underneath (like the fight with Mustard).

#25116: Nov 4th 2018 at 1:40:56 PM

[up] The problem with that idea is that if that's the case, Todoroki should be cooking him alive in his own skin. Metals are good conductors of heat!

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#25117: Nov 4th 2018 at 1:43:35 PM

Yeah, plus his eyes and hair also turn to steel. I don't think that "cracking" should be interpreted as meaning he only makes his outer layer steel.

...Huh, what would happen to him if he turned his Quirk off while he was still superheated like that?

Maybe it used to just be his skin and his quirk training lets him convert his entire body now?

By the way, I think I figured out a bit of word play. Tetsutetsu calls his attack "ore kobushi" (translated in Jaiminisbox as "My Fist" and Mangastream as "Tetsutetsu Fist") but since "tetsu" sounds like "iron", it's a sort of clever way of naming his attack "Iron Fist".

Also, what Iida is calling a muffler is actual an exhaust pipe, right? Doesn't really matter to me, but I've seen some grumblings about it.

SalFishFin Since: Jan, 2001
#25121: Nov 5th 2018 at 4:03:10 AM

Well the exhaust pipe is probably connected to the muffler as one piece of metal like this, so it's not impossible that he had to pull both out anyway.

Thought for a powerup for Koji's Quirk: he's eventually able to influence the animal people, in addition to actual animals.

On Todoroki and how he could handled Tetsutetsu with the rabid heating-cooling cycle, I'd like to see some progress on him being able to use both sides efficiently simultaneously.

Though, it doesn't seem like that's where this is going.

A tweet from Sleepless Domain's Mary Cagle that she did for her Patreon. Reason I link is one of them is Todoroki: https://twitter.com/cubewatermelon/status/1058515535607095296?s=09

Others are Appa from Avatar, Halloween Pokemon, and a character from her other comic, Kiwi Blitz.
