I've compared Dabi's way of recruiting with Endeavor's (former) way of parenting - unrealistically high expectations that he reacts to violently when they aren't meet.

Only natural he'd consider a Endeavor fanboy worthy of the League.

Dabi might have killed people, but he says something about being tormented by what Snatch said about his victims having people who cared about them, I forget the exact wording.

Can't see any of the rest of the LOV being particularly bothered by guilt. 'Cept maybe Spinner.

He said "I thought about it so much (the feelings of the bereaved family members" it drove me crazy." And he started bleeding from his eye, for some reason.

Which doesn't stop him from continuing to burninate people of course.

So, any ideas for Destro Jr.'s (and probably Destro Sr.'s) Quirk? It seems like when he uses it he gets a mask pattern on his face, and otherwise becomes really strong, but there's probably something else going on there.

Just like Shoto is the strong, independent character that often acts by himself but has the trust of the "leader" Midoriya, Dabi fills that role for the villains. The parallels are more and more clear. tongue

[up][up] "Vitamin C"

(Anyone who have read Jojo part 8 will get what I'm talking about.)

Something similar to that.

Just a guess.

[up] And for those who haven't read Jojo, or, like me, are behind on Part 8, here's the description from the Jojo wiki

     Vitamin C 
https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Vitamin_C

Vitamin C's main ability is to "soften" living organisms' tissues, melting them into a liquid state.

Vitamin C and Damo can leave faintly visible fingerprints on any surface, and with Vitamin C's multiple hands, this results in entire rooms being covered in handprints. The fingerprints seem to be made of a squishy substance that people may notice.

Anyone, even Stands, who touches the fingerprint will be softened, taking the characteristic of a liquid and becoming elastic. People lose their consistency and typically melt into a puddle of flesh over time. It becomes easy for Damo to insert random objects into his victims and even slice into them. He notably cuts limbs and organ from his softened victims with a 1000 yen bill. In that state, the victims become unable to move or attack, as any impact makes them lose their coherence. Thus they are powerless, and Damo is free to torment and kill them. Damo seems to be able to modify the speed at which people are softened. Joshu was softened over a sizeable period while Hato was reduced to a liquid almost immediately when Damo attacked her.

The weakness of the softening ability is that it has a very short range, seemingly restricted to a single closed area like a small boat or a house. If someone affected by the ability leaves Vitamin C's range, its effects disperse immediately.

Maybe it's somekind of multicomponent quirk.

[up][up][up]Interesting, reminds me of certain other Quirks, but since guy is a villain, I guess it's fine for his power to be harsher.

[up]That's not really helpful...

[up] Well as far as I can tell it appears to involve somekind of strength enhancement given how he killed his assistant but i'm pretty sure it would need to be more than just that if he's going to be a threat to the heroes or the League of Villains.

So volume 18 is out in France (covering the end of the Yakuza arc and the babysitting exam) and I laughed a bit at the end. Remember that creepy shot of Aoyama watching a sleeping Izuku in the night? That's not just the cliffhanger of the chapter, that's the cliffhanger of the volume. Horikoshi, you troll. evil grin

It's also Hilarious in Hindsight to reread the scene where Tomura goes all "We're the new emperors of the underworld now!" when you know the state they're in the current chaps.

You know, I've seen some complaints about Shigaraki's backstory being a letdown when we already have Eri's. I can kind of understand that, from a certain story point-of-view, but also don't really like to turn tragic backstories into a contest, and I find it off-putting when people do.

Plus, ultimately, the story is just to explain why he is the way he is and how he got there, and I think his situation does that very well.

I mean

I'm pretty certain Shigaraki's backstory is meant to be a foil to Eri's

I’ve seen more complaints about how his main motivation is generic.

He's a child lashing out, anyway.

Him mentioning that his anger and whatnot is intensified whenever he wears his hands is super suspicious IMO

[up]I've also noticed he seems to be wearing them less often. At this point he's also (slightly) less psychotic.

#28472: Apr 2nd 2019 at 6:53:39 PM

Also at some point he got more of them; Ujiko brought in four pairs, but now he wears like seven or eight.

It's possible he doesn't realize he's changed.

Anyway, I don't see Shigaraki as the kind of character whose motivations actually change; rather, he just gets better at expressing and understanding why he wants them as he progresses. Izuku is, unsurprisingly, much the same.

He’s trying to prove a point, he just needs to learn how to better articulate such a point.
