It's not skewed, it's just for Horikoshi's convenience, i.e. it's more convenient for him if everyone's clothes aren't destroyed when she uses it.

The same thing is true for Shishikura; his Quirk explicitly only lets him mold flesh, and yet when he does it to other people, anything they're wearing (even something as big and gaudy as Bakugo's gauntlets) are perfectly fine when it's undone. It doesn't make sense, but it's how it is.

It's a typical thing in fiction, see One Piece where Devil Fruit powers and transformations include people's clothing even though they logically shouldn't.

Magic Pants and all.

There have been a lot of videos on this recent event: bitching about it, defending it, talking about how to "fix" it, but not a lot of discussion about what his new Quirks might possibly be like.

I suppose that'll have to wait until the initial storm has passed. As for me, I have some vague ideas about things I think would be good, but I want to hold off on saying them until we see how quickly or slowly he actually accesses each of these new powers.

Wait how do you “fix” something that hasn’t even fully happened yet?

I think the point is that that's exactly the problem with those videos.

Would it have killed Sir Nighteye if he had tried to reveal details regarding what that brutal death entailed?

(sarcasm mode)

I mean, this is the frustrating part of seers who wants to try and change a horrific outcome.

They never try to explain what they saw and instead opt to direct action instead, usually failing in the end anyway.

I really hope he got a sealed envelope somewhere with the full extend of details regarding All Might's death so someone at least could get a hint of what will happen...

Nighteye's visions don't give any context and he has to guess at the locations and time they take place in. If he doesn't know, he doesn't know.

Like, Nighteye can predict immediate actions, which is why he had Combat Clairvoyance. But things years in the future? That's another story. As [up] mentioned, he only gets vague ideas of what will happen.

All Nighteye knew was that All Might will die in a few years, and it's not going to be pleasant.

What I'm saying is basically that if he sees the future as a movie reel, then even if it's vague, even if they are blots or silhouettes or anything like that, he could at least put down details like...

1. How many where at the scene? (How many sans All Might that is)

2. Was All Might on fire or not?

3. Was it dark or bright? (Day or night) when it happened?

4. Was All Might still in one piece or several?

5. Was he indoors or outdoors?

6. Etc...

Vague things like that.

I mean, even if the future was vague, he still could at least tell if it happened during the day or not.

Is that too much detail?

[up]Nighteye presumably has shared the gory details with All Might to further convince him he should retire to avoid said fate.

One problem is that we never really find out just how accurate and powerful Foresight really is. Remember that it was for the longest time hampered by Nighteye's own fatalism.

Ah, so we might expect that All Might will know what's coming his way in the future, show it in his face when it happens, and cue us in before he willingly decide to go through with it while fighting anyway in order to remain as a hero all the way to the end?

Just presumption of course.

Why do I have the feeling that it will be Shikaraki, beating All Might down to a pulp and beyond, without using his quirk at all in order to make the pain last for as long as possible, as a form of misguided vengeance for "Not saving him" back when he was younger?

Which makes me wonder, can Shikaraki even clench his hands into fists?

Probably if he leaves the thumbs out to the sides (the "hitchhiker pose") but still, that would just make it harder to get a good punch in...

I remember Nighteye describing his visions as something like a film where the camera is heavily zoomed in on the person he's reading. Enough to give an idea what happens to them, but often not enough to work out anyone else involved unless they're right in there with the person. Also, going by All Might, the details become even less concrete the further ahead he tries to go.

You know what?

I'm starting to think that some people are better off quirkless than quirked.

After all, if a quirk works against the one having it, then what's the point?

Maybe in that regard, Overhaul might have been on to something with his AQ-serum...

I'm sure it could have done good in the right hands.

But the whole "manufactured by the mafia by vivisecting a little girl and used mostly to de-power their enemies" thing kinda put a damper on that.

TitanJump Since: Sep, 2013 Relationship Status: Singularity
#27269: Jan 28th 2019 at 5:13:45 AM

Yeah.

A shame really, since not everyone is really happy with having a destructive superpower they didn't ask for to have in the first place.

Had Overhaul been a real doctor and not become part of the yakuza, he might have found an alternative and more humane solution in his quest of "curing humanity" from the "destructive" quirks.

Ahh, the for want a nails there are in this verse.

Imagine the panic if, working from the bullets, someone weaponizes a Quirk-killing virus. I'll bet there's still at least a small faction of people who think Quirks were the worst thing to happen to humanity. Or would love to just be able to hold the threat of a mass de-powering over an opposing nation.

#27271: Jan 28th 2019 at 5:30:35 AM

Nah, a virus sounds a little too "resident evil"-ish to me...

Why not just spike the drinking water reservoirs with massive quantities of the permanent AQ-serum and let it do its work from there?

It's not a poison so the animals and people should be just fine, just quirkless, but otherwise, fine.

I mean, it kind of already happened in the backstory. AFO rose to power by removing Quirks from people who didn't want them and giving them to people who did want them.

I'm pretty sure there was a good deal of involuntary removal and granting.
