My Hero Academia

I know that, I'm asking why this particular rendition of a boar looks like an abomination with little nubby feet.

Because it's supposed to be...(putting on sunglasses)...quirky.

Some animals get super-intelligence that puts them on par with or even above humans. Others get horrifying body mutations. Such is life.

Like a shark with (constantly) burning fire teeth?

How would anyone even ever know? Is it some magical fire that can burn underwater? Are the teeth just constantly warm? When it bites into a fish does it end up eating cooked fish? So many questions.

It's something I recalled from a MHA-fanfic(shipping) called "Awkward Energy"

It does put some perspective though on quirks used by creatures under the sea though...

Well the fire would likely be put out underwater unless it’s so hot it’s still flaming but it would still burn.

Or they just steam a lot.

Or just keep burning like actual fire would.

US Jump version of chapter 212 is out:

A thought occurs to me: Dabi's hair isn't dyed, it's burnt. Would also explain the different texture compared to the kid we see in the flashbacks that's probably/definitely him.

Sounds kind of silly, but also strikes me as something that could happen here because manga, and would be another way to emphasize how much his own flames have fucked him up.

If that's the case he must reek because burnt hair, ew

Surprised it's spiky rather than all curled up, then. Or maybe after he burnt it he permed it straight.

Wouldn't burnt hair just fall off, though? Like in general hair isn't really tough enough to stay on once you burn it.

Just say the hair is really strong from having to be on a person with fire powers anyway. I don't know, if it's the case I doubt an actual explanation will be given. It'll just be something to go with.

Anyway, I've seen it proposed this guy is the Second, and these little visions will proceed in order of inheritance from now on. Simple enough, I could see that being the case.

Would be heartbreaking if All Might's visitation happens right after the real All Might dies.

I think something like that is almost guaranteed to happen.

Bonus points if that's how Midoriya finds out in the first place.

The fridge horror of animals with Quirks. "This pigeon emits high levels of radiation when it's startled. This bee colony has a taste for human flesh." Not to mention the food industry where any given individual animal could have all kinds of horrific and harmful internal mutations that nobody can even know to look for prior to it being processed. "Uh, we got another rapid healing factor here that kicked in after it was already at the deli."

Heh it’s interesting to imagine/think about other possible animals with quirks.

Animals with Quirks are extremely rare. So it's not a widespread problem.

It will be once those quirked animals starts reproducing...

(which, depending on the animal, might go a whole lot faster than it does for a human...and animals grow up faster as well...)

Imagine a quirked rabbit with a dangerous quirk (like turning it into the killer rabbit from Monthy Python for example) started spreading its quirk among the quirkless rabbit population... and nobody finds out until their numbers measures up into six-digits...

Imagine that...

There's probably a reason animals with Quirks are so rare, even with most animals' far greater reproductive capability compared to humans.

Perhaps animal Quirks have a near zero chance of being passed down to their offspring. Or maybe animals who manifest Quirks also become sterile, meaning they are genetic dead ends.

Poor Principal

He was already pitiful, given his backstory of being experimented on. He's still harboring a sadistic grudge towards humanity as a result.
