I thought they introduced Overhaul and his gang as some of the criminals rampaging after All Might's retirement way before the boring Yakuza arc.

To be precise, they were introduced as behaving very differently than the criminal hooligans that were rampaging, almost as if they were some sort of vigilantes observing the chaos (but with an air of menace to them that could also make them seem like they're just more organized).

Apropos to nothing, with the nomus and the villain drugs in Vigilantes, I was idly thinking about who in 1A the bad guys might target for abduction and nomu conversion. They're going for hit-and-run victories, so if abducting Bakugo and trying to convert him with arguments didn't work, the next best thing would be just converting an enemy to an ally in a way that horrifies the public. But someone with a really useful quirk like Momo wouldn't work, because it relies on her cleverness. ...and then I remembered that we've got a classmate that: - Has had virtually no character development - Has a technically powerful quirk that has no reliance of smarts - And in fact, conversion to a brainless monster would eliminate his only weakness R.I.P.

i'm guessing that a lot of noumus were given helpful supplementary quirks aside from their main combat quirks. for sugar dude, they'd just have to find someone with a normally useless sugar production quirk.

Either: 1) All the bestowing has already been done. 2) There's actually another way to do it. 3) AFO passed on All For One before he got captured. I have my money on #3 because the other two actually sound kind of lame.

watching the traitor scene in the anime made me wonder why anyone thought the traitor, if there even is one, was a student in the first place. the scene with present mic is the only time it's mentioned, isn't it? he says that nobody but a teacher could have known enough to leak information

Outside of Hagakure, who is invisible and could be retconned to be in any scene they want her to be in, no student would've had the info that lead them to think there was a traitor in the first place.

i don't think All for One itself can actually be passed on, just the quirks it steals, which is why AfO was primarily interested with taking quirks that would be good for shigaraki's development if he could just pass on the main quirk that would never be an issue

A possible solution is that the Doctor has his own Quirk which acts similar to All For One. Something like Quirk Transferring, where he can move Quirks from one individual to another (but not take for himself).

You know, the one the students had no details on until they got dumped off a bus into the woods and the villians seemed to have prepared and planned for ahead of time. I don't know, it seems super wacky to me that they live in a world with absolutely ridiculous powers and the strongest theory is that there's a traitor rather than someone who can, I don't know, read minds or see the future or some poo poo. Oh wait we were even shown a character that could literally see the future, though he was a good guy. There are a lot of reasons I think the traitor thing never comes up again, basically. Even if explaining it some other way seems retcon-y or lazy, I just think a traitor would be off-tone for the series and could wind up being equally dumb.

It's totally possible to engage in discussion of the broader concepts of the series with the anime-only folks as those discussions come up, but anyone fake-speculating is pretty terrible. Generally better to not post there, I've backed off of it.

You know, the one the students had no details on until they got dumped off a bus into the woods and the villians seemed to have prepared and planned for ahead of time. Didn't Nighteye's quirk require direct interaction with the person whose future he was seeing, though? Like, I get what you're going for, but basically every quirk, even overpowered ones, have needed some sort of interaction by the user to work. Shinso can make people do what he wants, but needs the other person to trigger it in a specific way. Toga can transform into anybody, but still needs to ingest their blood before doing so. I think even Twice needs to see the person he's cloning to do it, and has no control over the clone afterwards. It being someone's quirk to be able to get the info that they shouldn't, or communicate in a secretive or unknown way or something, is absolutely possible. But it probably still has to be someone working from close enough that people wouldn't notice them in some way.

Yeah but even in the Nighteye example, there was a point where he basically just bumped into one of the Yakuza underlings on the street, surreptitiously getting the location of the hideout from his immediate future. There are just so many possibilities at play that honestly a straight-up traitor seems boring. edit: hell there might be black market information brokers with quirks specialized in data collection or something.

La Brava showed that UA's cyber security isn't as strong as they might believe. It's possible someone just hacked them. I would love it if Gentle and La Brava ended up working at UA as a form of community service and end up uncovering the traitor plot by accident.

I'm trying to imagine a set of circumstances that would make "traitor" more likely than "specialized information-gathering quirk" and I can't. The other thing is that the League of Villains just doesn't really have a lot to offer that would motivate the best and brightest of good society to join them. We've already seen them try to recruit a hero and we know they suck at it.

U.A. also has a supposedly impregnable wall that is immediately breached by a certain villain putting his hands on it like a kid getting too close to the tiger exhibit at the zoo hero society itself might have the odds pretty well stacked in its favor, but U.A.'s security kinda sucks

That kind of thing should get you banned because it's not only way too common, it's really, really obvious too; when people were doing it for things I hadn't seen the original work for (like the OPM manga when I haven't read the web comic), I could immediately tell who was pulling that, which affected the impact of certain surprises, because they weren't now. Shadowlyger posted:I mean it's kinda difficult to have effective security against a guy who can destroy literally anything by touching it, who is teamed up with a guy who can teleport anywhere. Yeah, for all UA's fuckups, not having Shigaraki-proof walls can't really be held against them. Guy's power is just death if it goes off without something like Aizawa interfering (or when Shiggy himself amputated Overhaul's arm to gently caress with him). He'd be loving terrifying if AFO gave him something like genuine superspeed or teleportation or whatever to overcome the range issue.
