So another case of a costume designed to work around the quirk. I remember someone suggesting something like that easier but I hadn't thought it could work. I can see how a costume made of scales would do it though.

So my original idea of what her Quirk is was right. Although it was probably everyone's first idea, so not that big a deal.

This ought to make for a really interesting fight depending on how she utilizes that power.

Though I've been enjoying this arc for the most part, I get the feeling it'll feel better in the anime. That seems to happen a lot.

Because more chapters are covered at once.

So essentially Tokage is a sexier-lizard version of our lord & savior Buggy, the greatest Warlord who ever lived & future Emperor. tongue

Also I do look forward to seeing this arc animated. Especially due to the short chapters, full-time episodes could really help.

Togaru's Quirk isn't just blades from his arms, by the way. He can make blades from his entire body.

Uhhhhh barring the Todroki fight from the festival, when has Deku lost?

Cause I've been seeing people say he will lose the final round as is tradition & I'm like "Wait what tradition?"

People probably mean it's "tradition" for the main character to lose in a competition.

Though I've been seeing people also say that they'd like to see "Deku win an exercise for once."

Which puzzles me cause he's generally successful in these endeavors.

Against Bakugou in their match after the License Exam.

I'm amused that both of these quirks are the Chop Chop fruit and the Dice Dice fruit respectively

Izuku won the first Training exercise on a technicality, git knocked out of the Sports Festival, and then lost the Rescue Race. So he's allegedly 1 for 3, but it's more like .75 for 3.

So someone on /a/ brought up an interesting point on Monoma's deal and why he's so obsessed with being better than Class A.

So at this point, it's clear Quirks run on Personality Powers. Powers tend to relate to people's personality (Bakugo is bombastic, Todoroki is mostly cold but tends to heat up with passion at times)

So what if the reason Monoma wants to be better is because the nature of his quirk means he himself cannot stand out as an individual? Monoma's quirk means anything he accomplishes with it can simply be attributed to someone else.

So he wants to beat Class A to finally establish his own identity. And coincidentally, he is going up against Deku, another hero who's success is attributed to another.

That's a thought.

Somewhat related, we've been talking about Monoma copying the Quirks of people in his group (especially Shinso), but what if he takes the time to copy everyone in Class B before the match starts?

He's been training his Quirk, and we don't know how he's improved.

The technicality of the premise of the exercise?

Technicality in that he and Ochaco only won because it was training, and if they were treating it like the real thing then what they did wouldn't have flown. They were called out on that.

I'm sure Monoma's improvement will be that he can use at least 2-3 Quirks and for a longer period of time.

That's a good way to look at it considering he's trying to re-invent himself.

You could honestly say he's going through a sort of re-birth.
