Roland Jones posted:No, I don't mean as limitations of her power, that's a completely different discussion. Legally, she can't just make whatever she wants for non-school/heroics purposes; she'd get in massive trouble if she were found doing that, as I understand it. I'm pretty sure Yaoyozoru not wanting to make anything she needed was a one-off joke about how she wanted to try shopping at the shopping center instead of just making the clothing she needed since she's a sheltered rich girl. Her counterfeiting a shitload of money or precious metals with her power would be against normal laws without having to make special quirk restriction laws. I don't recall them saying "people aren't allowed to use their quirks much" beyond school testing still being based on normal people standards so kids aren't allowed to use quirks to assist themselves in PE, because how the gently caress do you test all kids to a fair standard if some people have super strength and some people can teleport or whatever. A society built entirely around people having quirks where the quirkless are a pitied minority would make absolutely zero sense if quirk usage wasn't a regular part of daily life for the general populace. The restrictions probably boil down to common sense stuff like not using super strength to bust down walls instead of walking through doors and poo poo.

I think an interesting thing about the All Might vs AfO fight is that AfO ended up handing All Might a massive gift by accident. All Might's declining power and health effectively meant that sooner or later he was going to either get spotted in his true form as his timer shortened or one of the people trying to kill him would actually manage to succeed, which would throw his status as the symbol of peace into jeopardy. Instead, All Might was allowed to have a titanic final clash against an incredibly powerful villain that wounded or disabled multiple other top heroes; this allowed All Might to reveal his true form to the public and retire from heroics as an unbroken heroic champion with the image of the symbol of peace basically untarnished. There would be no propaganda benefit to killing All Might now because everyone knows he can't fight anymore. In effect, by giving him a gigantic last hurrah, AfO made All Might's legend invincible and insurmountable. Incidentally, Endeavor realizing this and throwing a tantrum about it is one of the most satisfying parts of the conclusion to this arc.

For a theoretical society based around superpowered heroes to function, you'd either need some level of nationalization(more likely, at which point they're just super police) or commercialization(what happens in stuff like Tiger&Bunny and MHA) for heroes to do their thing, there's just no way around it. Fancy battle equipment, extremely expensive health care for injured heroes, and property damage claims from battles between superpowers clashing aren't going to pay for themselves. Even the hero who Stain respects and puts on a pedestal, All Might, ran a hero agency of his own(albeit a tiny unprofessional one) and took a paid job teaching kids to be heroes.

Charlie Bobson posted:Stains problem besides the whole murdering thing is that he has beef with people like Ochaco and not just Endeavour level assholes As far as the public is concerned Endeavor is a big drat hero who is so amazing at saving people and stopping villains that he's considered the second best hero in the business after goddamn All Might, and being a close second place to All Might is like being not quite as bright as the sun. Endeavor being a titanic shitheaded rear end in a top hat is entirely restricted to his private personal life and his family. Stain's judgement is that of a crazy person with a lot of personal biases and incomplete information. He can't know anything about the vast majority of heroes in the slightest; he has no idea who joins the business for money or fame, who legitimately wants to help people, or who is a dickhead like Endeavor. He just decided that All Might is his platonic ideal of a hero and arbitrarily kills other heroes for not measuring up despite him not really knowing anything about them. He was ready to kill Deku and Todoroki straight up before eventually deciding that they might have the chops to meet his standards. He also doesn't really acknowledge that All Might receives compensation for his heroics just like every other pro hero. Kanos fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jun 28, 2016 |

Fabricated posted:All Might is known to refuse awards, commendations, and praise however which is apparently antithetical to most other heroes. That an All Might is unequivocally clear about his message and what he wants to do to help people- he lectures Midoriya that being a hero used to mean doing volunteer work and the like and that you must be in it for "love of the game". Casting yourself as the invincible symbol of peace for all of society is the direct opposite of refusing praise and commendation. Making himself the biggest name in the business in order to serve as a deterrent to villains and an inspiration to the people was literally the entire point of All Might's career. He did it for a good, noble cause, but to deny that All Might has materially benefited from hero society is dead wrong; like I said, he ran a hero agency just like everyone else(albeit a tiny and impovershed one compared to the big agencies like Endeavor and Ingenium) and accepted a teaching position based on his hero experience and prestige. Stain has no way to know what heroes are doing their thing because they want to help people(All Might), for personal gain, or some mixture of both(Mt. Lady and probably the vast majority of heroes), he just kind of arbitrarily decided that All Might was the only one with pure motives.

Mr. Fowl posted:I'm pretty sure this is exactly it. There's probably also some legal reason, I'd imagine. All the active professionals we've met so far are part of an agency--wouldn't be surprised if they encourage that and discourage "lone heroes". It's easier to send the bill for all the damage if there's an office number, after all. I would imagine that being tied to some sort of agency is a requirement for heroes simply for liability reasons, yeah. It's really hard to regulate a bunch of masked, costumed vigilantes without them having a registered point of contact. People like Ingenium and Endeavor leverage these mandatory agencies to recruit sidekicks and probably do endorsements and sponsorships and stuff; All Might lived out of his agency and never took any sidekicks or anything like that so he probably just used it as a glorified PO box.

Serious Frolicking posted:That would be an excellent reason for her to never trust him. On the one hand, it is directly All Might's fault that Deku is in a position where he has been put in extreme danger and is pursuing a career path that will put him in further danger in the future. All Might allowing Deku to accept One For All without consulting her is the height of hubris and irresponsibility, since he's not an adult, he's a teenager and she's his parent. On the other hand, it is directly All Might's fault that Deku has an opportunity to actually achieve his sole driving dream and motivation since childhood which was previously thought to be impossible while also granting her son the greatest power in the world and the opportunity to learn how to use it. Prior to his meeting with All Might, Deku had pretty much retreated into a hopeless fantasy world and was living in denial. I could see it going either way, really. All Might got pretty close to spilling the beans already by talking about how he believed Deku was his successor.

I doubt he'd give a hot poo poo if Izuku actually ended up withdrawing from UA. Every time the kids have been attacked by villains in the past, the reason why it's been a huge deal is that the pro heroes were too far away or too scattered to intervene immediately. If the kids are all living at a dorm in UA, presumably there will be a dedicated guard of pro heroes around a relatively concentrated area all the time.

Aizawa's speech is super necessary because there needs to be a reality check for the students. The students have kind of slowly been getting used to repeatedly disregarding all orders to the contrary and putting themselves in terrible danger while separating themselves from the protection of the adults who are supposed to be their guardians and getting away with it with little slaps on the wrist, and it's really not a good thing; Deku is the obvious guilty party here, but several others like Iida and Todoroki have sort of become accustomed to going "Yeah we were told to keep our heads down and shut up here but we're HEROES so let's go help out!" like they did against Stain. Everything has worked out so far through a combination of luck and pluck on the part of the kids, but it's really, really easy for one of them to get terribly hurt or killed doing the stuff they're doing. Aizawa doesn't want to see that happen on multiple levels; aside from the tragedy of a kid getting hurt or killed, it would also be disastrous for UA, potentially disastrous for hero society in general due to the turbulence of All Might's retirement, and it would be crushing for him on a personal level because like Mordaelil mentioned, Aizawa has bled more for his students than anyone, even All Might. He obviously cares for them deeply.

I doubt he was foreseeing his death in combat, or speaking figuratively about not being able to fight. I imagine he probably will waste away from his injury. I feel like it's likely that All Might's health will worsen pretty significantly over time due to his injury, yeah. Without the raw power of One For All bolstering his health, somebody who took the kind of massive internal trauma that he did doesn't have a long lifespan.

The problem he has is that it's likely really hard to modulate his powers to stop someone as strong and dangerous as muscle dude without kicking the power level up to "whoops I loving killed him by burning him to death/asphyxiating/necrotizing him in a gigantic block of ice, this is incredibly awkward".

Ytlaya posted:I don't think he can deal with someone who is agile or fast enough to avoid his stuff, like Stain or All Might (and probably also Muscle Dude, who was really fast). Really strong guys are also probably capable of just busting through his ice. Muscle Guy probably could have just launched himself at Todoroki and defeated him in one hit. Given that Todoroki has shown the ability to basically create miniature glaciers almost instantly on command in the tournament arc, he could probably create ice sufficiently thick/dense to stop most straight bruisers(doubtful that he could stop the crazy guys like All Might or the anti-All Might Noumu, of course). In desperation, he could probably unleash his fire side's potential and straight up burn someone to death(though he would obviously never do that, since it's not a heroic thing to do at all). He's got an amazingly bullshit quirk. Endeavor might be an awful eugenics-practicing shithead, but you can't deny that his messed up breeding program did produce one crazy-rear end powerful kid.

Space-Bird posted:That's kind of one of the themes of Todoroki, he has to overcome the legacy and abuse of a really lovely dad, and he doesn't want to endorse his idiot father's dumb eugenics idea that not only didn't seem to work, basically wrecked his family, so he is hesitant to use his 'fire side'. The Yield to Trauma ratio isn't worth it, and the entire message is very anti-eugenics. A lot like how OfA came out of evil, I guess Todoroki's power did too, which is probably why he still wants to be a hero, even he is loathing to follow in this fathers footsteps. He already got over the fire side hate in the tournament arc and the arcs immediately following it; the lesson that Deku helped teach him is that he's his own person and he doesn't need to hate half of himself just because his father is a horrible poo poo. Deliberately not using his fire powers for good would be like One For All users not using their powers for good because they came from an evil dickhead. It's just that it's really hard and requires a lot of training and practice to use heat and fire effectively in combat without seriously harming or killing your targets, which is distinctly unheroic. It's way easier to just freeze someone in place temporarily or make a wall of ice to restrain them. It says a lot about Endeavor's skills that he can maintain a position as the second best hero in the business after only All Might despite having a power that would easily cause a lot of nasty collateral damage or injury, come to think of it. I can't imagine a hero would be popular if they kept horribly burning and mangling the villains they fought.

Switching to kicks doesn't even necessarily have to be a permanent solution, either, just a very helpful stopgap. He turned his arms to beef jerky and nearly destroyed them when he first started using OFA and had no idea how to control it in the slightest, so now they're hosed and if he stresses them too much with his imperfect control they'll be crippled. Comparatively, he's only hosed his legs up a couple of times, which means they're a lot fresher and less messed up internally; since he has far greater control over OFA than he did when he first started, he can continue being an active hero and practicing his power control without permanently destroying his limbs if something goes wrong or he has to go too hard. Plus, Deku has a drastically different body type than All Might; he's a lot skinnier even with all his training, less like All Might's bodybuilder physique and more like a runner. Kicks might just be a better thing to focus on based on the nature of his body.

Fabricated posted:I think it's silly that the provisional license is played up so much when the kids are probably more competent than the loving mook sidekicks and mid-tier pro-heroes who were getting loving wrecked by B-class Noumus. Logically, one would need more than raw combat power as a prerequisite to being a licensed hero, otherwise heroes like the Pussycats would have serious trouble qualifying because half of them didn't have combat quirks at all. A lot of Class A is ludicrously strong in the raw combat power area, but a lot of them have emotional or judgment problems that still need ironing out. For example, Bakugou might be able to kick the poo poo out of every single mid-tier pro hero who currently exists in a one on one fight but he's still definitely not professional hero material in his current state, and Deku might be a walking encyclopedia of hero and villain knowledge endowed with the potential strongest quirk in the world but he's really loving bad at knowing his own limits.

I think Yaoyozoru is the closest thing to a Batman analogue, ability-wise. Her ability to create anything is dependent entirely on her own personal knowledge about what she needs to make and how to make it and her normal human physical ability to deploy the items she makes effectively. It's not really that far away from Batman's infinite financial resources and utility belt; both of them are physically "normal" humans(insofar as any comic book hero can be considered physically normal) who manage to be superheroes by virtue of having genius level intellects and infinite material resources, they just go about it in different ways.

Gyges posted:Everyone in Class A have seen Deku using 100% of his power. That was the only way he used his power until just recently. From their point of view Deku powered down to the manageable 5% and Bakugou just saw him move slightly back toward 100%. Bakugou has never actually fought 100% Deku, because Deku never actually used OFA against him. Deku used OFA to win their battle by punching through the ceiling but not to actually attack Bakugou in any way, because using 100% OFA against Bakugou with Deku's lovely level of control would lead to chunky salsa Kacchan sprayed across the walls. Most of their previous fight consisted of Deku using normal teenager strength martial arts to try to disable/dissuade Bakugou.

Dr Subterfuge posted:No, One for All is a very impressive quirk. All Might could punch so hard that he changed the weather, and he's also super fast and super durable. It's kind of a bog standard Superman set, but his power is overwhelming. Part of being the Symbol ofPeace was the threat of being on the receiving end of that. The series goes out of it's way to say that All Might wasn't just indomitable, but it also goes out of its way to highlight that Deku needs to appreciate that aspect of All Might more. Yeah, All Might-level One For All is in the tippy top class of quirk power. Remember that All For One put together a punch out of like thirty different quirks specifically to kill a weakened and almost dead All Might fighting on the final wisps of his power and AfO still got his rear end beat in a straight up punch off, no guile or tricks involved. Deku, a weedy teenager who had just received the quirk and had no idea how to control it at all, managed to jump 100 feet in the air and blow up a 20 story robot by punching it once. Later he managed to blow through multiple floors of a concrete building with loving air pressure released by his fist.
