Is it just going to be him taking hits meant for the others, or will he do something more awe-inspiring? Deku will use one of his new powers "mind control" to force people to like heroes again

If AFO was held in the US instead and he did his little jailbreak ploy, he'd get a dozen villains hell-bent on destroying society, and a thousand nonviolent drug offenders who want to see their family again. Those are my idle thoughts when I hear people want the story to go overseas, thank you.

AFO wouldn’t be in prison in the U.S. because of his presidential immunity.

AFO would join forces with Kingpin, Lex Luthor, and Mr. Sinister and the world would've ended by now.

Didn't Vigilantes hint that the US has far more limited quirk restrictions since it's considered part of "the right to bear arms"? Dude with Bear Arms: Yeah, that's right

The supposedly strict Quirk restrictions in Japan are never actually seen being enforced. Katsuki would be serving a life sentence at this point if they were.

I still hold by my theory that the government spirits away any kid with a mind reading quirk when discovered.

If they didn't grab Shinso - someone with the power to physically compel anyone who he talks to to do whatever he wants them to, which is potentially the most society destabilizing quirk in the manga besides AFO, Momo, and Twice - they're probably not grabbing anyone.

They have confidants and friends, but the OFA holders we see don't actually seem to trust in the ability of other people to shoulder the weight of actually doing anything that they consider serious business.

Isn't it pretty obvious when Shinsou uses his Quirk? Like, I don't know that he could actually subvert the government or anything.

I wonder if Bakugou taking a hit for him is what convinced Deku to run off alone. He's always looked up to Bakugou and put him on the same level as All Might and he almost died trying to protect Deku, that's probably really messed with him.

Rand Brittain posted:Isn't it pretty obvious when Shinsou uses his Quirk? Like, I don't know that he could actually subvert the government or anything. It activates whenever he wants it to with no indication that he's doing it. The only restricting conditions are that you have to respond to something he says(so if you just don't reply to him at all it doesn't work) and it can't be over a phone or anything, it has to be in person. In the joint training arc he demonstrated that they don't even need to realize they're responding to Shinso, since his new trick was using a mask to imitate other peoples' voices. Anyone who doesn't know about his quirk is basically completely defenseless against it, because the trigger can be as innocuous as Shinso asking "how are you" and the target responding "fine, thank you". Oxxidation posted:yeah his quirk is pretty limited as mind-control powers go. he can't compel the afflicted to do anything that requires much in the way of higher thought, and one good shock knocks them out of their trance He was able to compel several people to willingly wash out of a gigantic tournament in front of a crowd of thousands of people with no issue, and during Joint Training he was able to compel people into paralysis in the middle of an active fight. We haven't seen him do anything more sinister with it because he wants to be a hero and has been explicitly fighting against the idea that his power is inherently villainous for his entire life, but there's nothing to suggest he couldn't get people to do some messed up stuff. If you wanted to extrapolate how the government could use Shinso's power in a lovely but effective way, think about Hawks - with Shinso as a government agent, political undesirables could suddenly have an upswing in "walked off a balcony" or "drank rat poison". The only people we've seen break Shinso's control once established are Deku(who did it with the help of OFA ghosts and literally breaking one of his own bones), Ojiro(who took an active body check from someone else), and the beast kid from 1B, who was completely helpless on his own and only broke free with the help of his teammate who had foreknowledge of what Shinso's quirk does and how it works.

Big props to his parents for having a kid with that power and raising him well enough that he actively wants to use it to help people despite the limitless opportunities it provides to do the opposite and despite the prejudice he faced.

Considering his power is literally mind control, I’m actually impressed that Shinso wound up in the hero course rather than just straight up becoming a villain. I forget, have we seen him since the Joint Training arc?

Like yeah he doesn't have WMD nuke power like Shigaraki or AFO but the power to basically shut someone's brain down and remove all of their ability to resist what you plan to do to them is ridiculously dangerous even if he couldn't give them any commands at all, and it's almost uncounterable if you don't have foreknowledge of how it works. e: Remember how Stain managed to murder a shitload of professional heroes with combat training despite having what amounts to a much shittier and more limited version of Shinso's quirk?

Which makes no sense at all in the context of his ability and how we know it worked later. How did he coordinate multiple people without any kind of abstract commands to the point where they could win and advance?

The people Shinso mind controls can be given orders to do anything that doesn't require beyond surface-level thought. He describes this in the manga by explaining that he could for example- ask a brainwashed person to "write Tsuyu Asui" on a chalkboard, but couldn't ask them to "Write the name of the frog girl on the board". In terms of evil he could tell someone to write an exact phrase he tells them on a suicide note and then jump out of a window or chug rat poison, but he couldn't say- brainwash them and have them write down all the passwords to their bank accounts or whatever. It's basically a shittier version of the Death Note's rules for compelling a victim.

The amount of people on the internet straight up thirsting for Deku to straight up murder Muscular is weird as hell given not like two chapters ago homeboy was literally like "One For All isnt for killing, im not even gonna kill the homicidal maniac with WMD fingers possessed by the soul of our great enemy if i can do anything in my power to avoid it."
