The other reason I want Class A to win this match is because it'll mean none of the recommended students won their rounds.

That would be pretty ironic.

I wonder if there's a limit on how many pieces she can split herself into as long she keeps honing her quirk, (Tokage, that is)

Can it reach to the level of molecules?

Atoms?

It would still be within the function of her powers, (splitting herself apart.) and since each piece operate under her will as a single entity, like a Hive Mind, then would there really be a limit on the splitting, theoretically?

She would have made for a terrifying villain if she wasn't a hero.

Imagine someone who can't be jailed or caught, splitting into smaller and smaller pieces to both elude capture and escape containment cells, even if they have to split so thin that they can squeeze themselves out through the crack of a door or even a tiny hole in the wall... or the ventilation system.

Wonder if she can split into Pink Mist levels...

No wonder she got a recommendation...just think of the potential from just her quirk alone. Then add her wits and ability to it and we got...a OPM. (Class: One Punch Madam)

Also, imagine how her quirk would have looked like in real life without the censor filters of mediums to blank the gaps out on the chunks...

I think the implication is that she's been progressively able to split into smaller and smaller pieces (now it's 50, at the beginning of the year it was probably far fewer), but I doubt she'll get to the atomic level.

I feel trying to keep track of that would be murder on the mind. She probably still has a lot of room for improvement, though.

Ah, I see.

Here's another one: Kamakiri.

His power is to sprout blades anywhere from his body, right?

Does that mean that he can sprout blades from the blades he sprouts too?

They are technically still connected and part of his body after all.

Would be a great way to stab someone who's standing around a corner or parrying the first blade that way.

Also, I wonder what the limit for the length and size of those blades might be.

Joke: Would his quirk allow him to replicate Gin's bankai?

More potential!

Side note: I hope the author is okay...

I'm assuming Kamakiri can because Shouji can.

In that case...

...does it work with body fluids as well?

Like this for example: Smear some blood on a spot, jump back, let the villain follow, then once it pass the spot, activate and stab the crook with a blade from the blood left behind.

It would still technically be part of his body like the quirk limitations requires after all...

(Blood...or sweat...or even saliva, all part of oneself even when split apart, like a blood test at the hospital.)

Blood might work; stuff like sweat or saliva might be considered as excretions rather than actually part of the body. Of course, that's also assuming that he can still control bits of himself that aren't connected to his body.

As far as length goes, I'm guessing there's some limit on it, probably based on how much mass he can generate. It's like a more specialized version of Momo's power in that case.

A thought: do you think it would be possible for the students to intern under the teachers? Obviously, they're busy with classes, but perhaps they could get a substitute, or just do it during a break?

I ask because I think it would be cool if, say, Jiro interned under Present Mic, since they both use sound-based Quirks, and he might be able to assist her with her stage fright somewhat.

I'd say that might be a little too close to favoritism or a conflict of interest, but that never stopped Aizawa or All Might.

Plus, other than All Might, do any of the teachers act as in-the-field heroes, still?

Given Eraserhead's presence in the Eight Precepts raid, I imagine they can get called in for special operations.

[up][up][up]Aizawa got involved with the whole Yakuza situation, so I'm going to say "yes". Even though teaching is mostly what they do now, it seems like they can still be called in for requests from other heroes or the police, and also obviously help stop crimes if they happen to be near by.

Edit: [nja]'d.

The way I see it, none of the teachers are officially on active patrol duty, but like others have said, they can still be called up if their quirk would be useful for a specific situation. I'm guessing that they probably wouldn't do internships, largely because the point of the internships is to follow active heroes on patrol, and none of the teachers are really doing that, meaning they wouldn't get the type of experience that the internships are intended to provide.

Besides, teaching is a rotation assignment for military officers. I'm assuming that the typical UA teacher is assigned for 3-5 years, and then they rotate back into the field.

[up][up] That’s fair. Still, I do think that some students could theoretically benefit by receiving personal instruction from heroes with similar Quirks and who have dealt with similar issues in the past.

Don’t know if it’d work, but I’d be very interested in seeing such interactions.

From a narrative perspective, I don't think interning under any of the teachers would be necessary or make much sense. If he wants to explore them more, there's already a built in way to do so by virtue of them being teachers at the school.

Regarding Kamikari's blades, I wonder if it's possible for him to freely remove them, or if they're treated as actual parts of his body and that would hurt.

True enough. Do you think private sessions are a possibility? I mean, yeah, favoritism, but like I said, some students might gain a lot from such lessons.

I once again cite Eraserhead, who is clearly giving at least some kind of private tutoring to Shinso.

ED: Also bascly all of Deku's interactions with All Might.

Shinso is being considered for transfer in the Hero Course; we don't know most of the process obviously, but having a teacher supervise and train him makes sense.

Maybe Aizawa volunteered from the role, but I doubt it's entirely unregulated by the school.

Well, I wasn't thinking it'd necessarily be separate from the school. Hell, maybe the students could apply for it at some point or another.

On the subject of Shinso and Aizawa, I hope Shinso's eventual costume isn't just a copy and paste of Aizawa's. It probably won't be, but I don't really want a lot of homages to him either. I think the binding cloth is already enough.

I imagine it'll be simple, but I want it to be simple in a different way. Huh, Shinso likes cycling.... and now I'm thinking about something Mumen Rider-esque for him.

Most of the kids could definitely benefit from forms of 1-on-1 instruction from the teachers, especially if they have similar quirks or fighting styles. It wouldn't be quite the same type of "in the field" experience that the internships would give.

It seems like they already get that, at least in some capacity, thanks to Ectoplasm.

We've talked before how the class homeroom teachers are probably going to stay the same after they're second (and third) years, because Aizawa and Vlad feel like just as much a part of the classes as the students do, but I wonder about the other teachers?

Have we seen all of the Hero Course teachers, or are the ones we see strictly just for the first years? That could be interesting.
