That sounds like an incredibly useful power. Why isn't this guy a surgeon? Or a car mechanic?

I wonder if he could fix All Might's injury.

He wants to fix ~society~. For the sake of his large-scale plans, it's to his advantage to keep his Quirk secret. Plus he's an obviously shady guy who'd never be given a license to use his Quirk to operate on people.

Man, imagine if Overhaul's plan succeeded. Everyone basically collectively poo poo themselves when All Might retired and it's having seismic effects on society. If other pro heroes suddenly lost their powers permanently it would be pretty much the end of the world.

If it is successful it's just a matter of time until all quirks that do not provide an immunity to being shot by dart bullets are gone and the world is ruled by the hardened fists of Red Riot and his eternal rival Tetsutetsu Tetsutestu.

If it gets a season 3 at all. If it does however, it'd only be like another year.

Also they haven't even gotten to getting faked out by Iida yet since we're getting the Stain arc likely.

Bakugou's burning rage this episode was fantastic animated. Also I had forgotten that the scene essentially boils down to two dudes pretty much villain speeching at each other.

Eraserhead's explanation of the differences between his quirk and Eri's quirk cover this. Tsuyu would still have the physical appearance of a frog girl, but could no longer use her froggy features.

And before anyone asks, Hagakure would still be invisible.

Would she? Her quirk isn't invisibility, but rather light manipulation. It seems as though her invisibility is just an involuntary use of her quirk.

In the case of Eraserhead it's a moot point because he needs to be able to see someone to switch off their Quirk. It would be interesting to see how Eri's Quirk would affect Hagakure, though.

It's nothing like Shigaraki's other then the fact they can both kill with a touch.
The big advantage Shigaraki has over Overhaul, if I read things right, is that while Overhaul can disassemble and reassemble anything he maintains contact with, all Shigaraki needs to do is touch something for a split second and it'll start to rot away on its own.

Yeah plus Shigaraki's power takes literally no effort, if he touches something with all five fingers it just happens whether he wants it to or not. Overhaul was sweating up a storm after using his power twice in a row, wasn't he?

TIME TO ROC N' ROLL
It's not clear (to me at least) if Overhaul's reaction is a restriction of his actual Quirk or if it's psychological. I lean toward the latter, given his other issues with cleanliness. Either way though, yeah, that does seem to be a limit that Shigaraki doesn't have.

Shigaraki's quirk had to have really sucked to grow up with until he managed to break the previously formed instinct to grab things with all the fingers on your hand. Like you develop a quirk at some point in life after you figure out all the normal coordination stuff so :smith:

The manga's still super popular though, so I'd imagine they'll keep the adaptation going if only to act as advertisement for it.

Iirc aren't Anime adaptations of currently-running works generally treated more as advertising for the source material, rather than as an independent product that needs to succeed on its own? The rules aren't the same as is for Anime original works.

Ochako's quirk has the same activation requirement and I believe she sleeps with gloves on to prevent herself from accidentally triggering them at night.

it'd be different for shigaraki considering he'd just disintegrate the gloves. he'd have to wear like individual finger gloves haha

Or like, two-piece gloves. One is like snooker gloves, they cover the middle, index and thumb, and the other half is those gloves you wear so you don't smudge ink with your hand and covers the ring and the pinky.

That does beg the question on what, exactly, counts as separate objects. If you cut the glove in half and then stitched it back together, would it still count as one object? It's easier with Ochako, because hers is a pretty simple "this arbitrarily-shaped mass now doesn't have gravity any more". With Shigaraki, that raises a lot of questions. Clearly a person is one object, but if they had a pacemaker, would that dissolve, too?

Am I horrendously overthinking a superhero comic aimed at teen boys? You bet your rear end I am!

If this were JoJo and Shigaraki were a Stand-user that's the exact kind of thing a protagonist would do as a counter-strategy.

One of my favourite little background pieces is that both Uraraka and Shigaraki can always be seen only holding anything with four fingers or less, even if absolutely no attention is being called to it. It's a fantastic detail.


EDIT: Touching something with all five fingers seems like a reasonably common Quirk activation method so I wonder if Quirk counselling includes little finger training exercises for people born with Bad Touches. Similarly I imagine a lot of self-defence courses in this setting have specific techniques for when you're facing an assailant who you cannot allow to touch you.

I look forward to the eventual reveal that he was once a doctor that was happily married, but after an accident had to perform surgery on his wife, but ended up performing malpractice because he wasn't allowed to use his quirck as its restricted to heroes legally.

Or something to make him sympathetic.

As for Hagakure, she's going to be hit and look like cousin It, because I can't imagine that cutting ones hair has a big priority when no-one else can see it.

That, it alternatively she changes her hair style everyday, hoping someone comments on how crazy it is.

No-one ever does.
