So, how long do you think it's going to take to reveal all of these powers?

Though we might do one ever couple of arcs or something, I could see some of them manifesting at the same time. Like the ones of the two blacked out figures in One For All, since I figure whatever is going on with those two will be revealed at the same time, instead separately for each.

Not sure about how often, but given how "Hellboy" explained it, I imagine Deku will unlock them as situations demand them, basically New Powers as the Plot Demands.

Those Drama C Ds sound a lot like the premises of many many MHA doujins.

So I'm looking through old reddit threads of this arc to see reception, and it's interesting.

Some of my thoughts have the benefit of hindsight, but even apart from that I still find people making a lot of strange assumptions that would never make sense to me (some of which I brought up here).

On another note, I'd be interested to see any improvements or costume changes the characters make after this. The idea of Ojiro getting some tail plate or chainmail armor was floated. Stuff like that.

Speaking of his tail, I wonder if there's a natural way to make its skin thicker and more resilient to cuts and breaching, that doesn't require plate armor that could hinder its mobility...

Wait...one question. Does his tail have bone in it? Or is it actually a tentacle akin of a octopus, which is nothing but pure muscle?

It's a prehensile mammalian tail. It almost certainly has bones in it like real life ones.

Well, I still got to ask since one can never know for certain whenever quirks are involved...

One way could be to learn proper combat art techniques and do regular muscle training to strengthen the tail.

Maybe learn how to use it like a kangaroo does and empower the strength of kicking techniques or jump higher by using the tail as a support and spring.

I don't think the tail would benefit from things that would make its bones or skin sturdier though...

Question: how often do you see people complaining that Todoroki should just get over his issues with Endeavor?

Rarely

I think I more often see people complaining about how it’s being portrayed, rather than wanting him to just get over it.

I mean, for a lot of people "it's been portrayed wrong" means "Endeavor hasn't died horribly with everyone not caring/laughing about it" so there's nothing to be done about that.

Me, I can get thinking maybe too much of his character revolves around his issues, I don't agree but I could see it. But that's not what I'm asking about.

Dunno, I only come here for fan reaction

We mostly seem to be of the opinion that Horikoshi is being tactful and understand the nuances of Endeavors character while not denying the horrible things he’s done

People are gonna complain no matter what Hori does because complaining feels good and you feel validated in doing so.

And so a cycle of toxicity begins that perpetuates itself.

An endless cycle indeed.

And this is why Daeneris (sp) wants to break the wheel.

We need more wheel breakers.

So Todoroki said he had two Quirks too. We've already been over how this works in series, and it's probably just convenient wording, but they might be able to go somewhere with that.

He has trouble using both sides at the same time, maybe part of that is that he thinks about it as if he's using two different powers instead of different sides of the same power. Maybe if he changed that mindset he could improve. Or something.

It's probably just a wording issue. But yeah, it's true that Todoroki's issues with his powers are in large part due to thinking of his fire manipulation powers as his dad's Quirk instead of his own.

Viz's translation uses the "two quirks" wording, too.

No wonder people aren’t that confused about Deku’s Quirk.

They can understand that it’s “weird”.

Huh.

Bakugou criticized Todoroki for not catching on to Deku's powers, but considering the context of his own powers, it may just be that he's massively Wrong Genre Savvy about it.

Shouto also lacks all the context and clues that Bakugou got as well.

It seems like the way quirks are defined in this series has always been a little vague to begin with. Like you have characters like Ojiro where his quirk is having a single oddball physical characteristic (a tail). But then you have characters like Tokoyami where he has an oddball physical characteristic, but also an entirely different power that is considered his quirk.

Not really that complicated. Most people just have an active component to their Quirk, but other people have a passive component (Tokoyami's head) along with a active component (Dark Shadow itself), and in those cases Quirks are described by the thing the person can actively do.

I've been thinking about it in terms of how a single gene can be expressed in multiple ways.

Huh I just saw the All Might Rising special.

Damn I really want an All Might & Nana spin-off now.
