knowing where the anime seasons of a show end in relation to the manga is really useful stuff though theres also value in reading through "stuff you've already seen" for the differences

I enjoy the implication that Toshinori was basically the Korra of One for All holders. Got the physical stuff down immediately and never bothered, or needed, to dive any deeper than that. Ghosts peeked in, went 'he's fine' and dipped. --- Unrelated note further refining thoughts on Dabi and Endeavor: I continue to not think he's Endeavor's son. It would necessitate either Endeavor being too dense to recognize a description of someone he's familiar with. Endeavor, who remembered the one time the wife with whom he had a loveless marriage for the sake of reproduction told him she liked a particular flower. Or for the Number One hero to never have been shown a photo or given details about one of the most wanted villains in the country. As far as we've seen, Dabi has a fairly unique fire quirk. If nothing else, hearing about that should have clued Endeavor in. On the subject of Endeavor's oldest: Quirkless or a non-obvious quirk like being entirely (heat/fire)proof. And on that subject: I am guessing that Dabi's motivations haven't been changed from his introduction. He's following Stain's example. It's personal due to the nature Todoroki family's powers. And if Touya comes into play at all it's as a last minute save at some point down the line, or as the source of Dabi's seemingly immolation-proof skin grafts.

Onmi posted:Counter point. all Might took to OFA very easily. His body could handle it without issue and beyond experience he never needed to develop the quirk. It's possible that because of being a natural genius for it that All Might simply couldn't unlock more than the surface level super strength. I do think deku having a secret quirk or the doctor having stolen his quirk would undermine the story. But I think expanding the scope of OFA with deku is fair game to making him the world's greatest hero I think it's probably less that All Might didn't unlock the whole power, more that he just never fully used the power. A big part of Midoryia's character is that he over analyzes the poo poo out of everything having to do with quirks, and his primary growth in the use of OfA has been by dropping his preconceived ideas of how to use it. If it has uses other than Superman level strength, Deku is more likely to figure those out because he can't use that full strength than the guy who was leaping tall buildings in a single bound on minute 3 of having it. If OfA has more uses that simple super strength, the analogy is likely less a whole tool box of different tools than it is a box of different hammers. You can just slam the poo poo out of a nail with any hammer, but if you're having trouble with the nail it's probably going to be more useful to use a claw hammer than a straight pein.

BioThermo posted:Speaking of whom, the 4th popularity poll is open as of last week. Are we going to see Shinso once again break the top ten despite existing for a single panel during the gentle arc during the last 50 chapters? Considering Shinso has The Most Boring Quirk, I'm curious as to what potential you see here.

He wants to be a hero but has a villainous quirk. It's not his quirk that's interesting, it's his character.

Even as a villain, it'd be a boring quirk, because all it amounts to is "Shinso's opponent can't talk or they instantly lose." I want you to imagine any of Midoriya's fights, but his opponent loses immediately if they say anything to him. Shinso's quirk is super boring and so is he. EDIT: I mean, he'd make an EXCELLENT hero, but not one that'd be in any way entertaining as a major character in a shonen.

shinso is a good early look at someone who current quirk society has failed, having to deal with unfair prejudices for something entirely out of his control i dunno if there's much more to mine from that than what his first appearance already showed off, though

There's something going on with Shinso, he has had enough background appearances that I bet he'll make a reappearance in the plot either when the classes shuffle in second year or in the tournament.

Put Shinso in class B so he can achieve his dream of being a hero, but you still have a good excuse for not having him around to instantly win fights.

A class mix up at the start of second year would be the best. Throws some background goobers into the foreground and lets you write off some of class A's riff raff like Sugar Man.

I just had a crazy thought: what if All For One was an inheritor of One For All too? Imagine that OFA's original bearer (actually #0) accidentally gave it to AFO (he even has a one in his "name") from their fight, and because his brother's ghost kept bugging him about doing the right thing AFO just gives it to anyone else to make the ghost go away.

Shinsou is one of those characters whose Quirk Horikoshi probably regrets, because the Quirk's weakness is what makes it not broken, but if the weakness is invoked, they're useless. So, they're really hard to use in a story. Kaminari's Quirk is also in this category.

I feel like Monoma has probably paid enough attention to class 1A generally and Deku particularly to know why trying to copy Deku's Quirk would be potentially lethal for him.

I know people have said 'no' to this but I'll explain why it can't be the case: One For All didn't exist until All For One gave his brother a quirk that could stockpile power, which combined with his brother's until-then unknown quirk of being able to transfer his quirk to other people.

In a way Kaminari's development is a bit like Deku's. He has a power that's already awesome and powerful and its not so much that he needs to make his power stronger as find ways to mitigate the downsides.
