Deku is double jointed in his toe.
Deku also has no 'quirk', ie no superpower.

He's a rarity in both the real world and the manga's.

I loved him pointing at the problem and just crying to make his case instead of outright stating it. Fantastic little detail and more subtle than a lot of the humor you read in a manga.

I wonder if Midoriya will have a superswole transformation mode because it'd be weird to have him get All Might huge permanently or even on a regular basis.

It would also give the whole game away because :crossarms: hmmm super strength, state/city themed smash attacks, and a superswole body? I can't imagine the other students would find out the truth about his quirk THIS early.

As far as they would know a one-in-a-million/billion thing happened and they have the same quirk.
But not literally the same quirk, mind.

Heroes being great for public morale is the difference.

There probably are people with strong quirks on the force but I imagine all the stuff that comes secondary with being a policeman is a big turn off for most folk, along with the public adoration and glory that comes from being just called a hero.

I imagine the aign up rate for heroes are much higher than for the police.

Also heroes do not do paperwork.

I dig All Might but making him weaken so incredibly fast after passing his power on is kind of a bummer since it means his secret is going to have to be made known to the students at least sooner rather than later. I'm kinda hoping his power isn't somehow keeping him alive too because that's kind of a hosed up thing to pull on your successor without telling them first.

Naw he was pretty explicit in it.
Venom chainsaw ripped out of most of his chest and he's living on borrowed time.
He's probably going to use his last minute of buffed up All Might time to announce his retirement and successor or as a last ditch sacrifice to save someone.

Probably the latter.

Man, thinking about it, Copy's a huge double-edged sword in this setting. Many quirks have pretty big limitations or drawbacks that the users themselves are familiar with, but someone with Copy may not know them instinctively. Sure, some quirks are pretty straightforward in their use, or simply toggle between on and off, but something like Deku's quirk could kill him if he doesn't know that you can't push it. :stare:

Welllll All might said that depended on your physiology.
But yeah he might try to super charge his entire body and end up as a bowl of jelly orbiting the earth.


But what if he mixed Eijirou's(hardening) and Midoriya's?

At the beginning Midoriya and Bakugou were both heavily, incredibly representive of their respective shonen tropes, Shy boy protagonist and overconfident brat rival, So I can see the concern over either, though concern over midoriya might be misplaced since its plenty obvious hes not going to stay the same.

But Bakugou has already started to slowly break that mold. Hes always going to be an ambitious, egoistic hothead because that is a cornerstone of his personality but the way he interacts with the world and others is definitely going to change.

Pre-yuuei Bakugou would definitely not have worked as well as he does now in the horse match.

You'd think that All Might would maybe try to train Midoriya a bit more in-person since very slightly loving up with the use of his power leads to death and dismemberment but then I think it's been like...a month, month and a half since school even started?

He can't because if he spends more time with him he'd be seen as favoring Midoriya, and someone might either target Mido to get to All-might or connect the dots.

Well now I kinda hope that UA has an end of year dance or something, seems like it could be comedy gold. Just think about anyone asking Bakugou out, or him asking anyone else out. Who would Mineta end up going with? And how many times would Yoyarozou have to turn him down? Would anyone remember to ask the invisible girl out? And would she be disappointed she can't get a picture of herself in a really pretty dress?

She puts on makeup and no one recognizes her.

That'd be even more tragic, honestly. People screaming out, asking where All Might is, and you just see the dejected face of an old skeleton of a man who can't even lift himself from his bed, or some such.

One of the strengths of the setting is that it really does feel committed to superheroics as a generational thing. Probably helped that it's a manga series and thus the whole thing is primarily about a single overarching story, rather than a multitude of concurrent stories about characters so 'iconic' they're no longer allowed to properly develop. But either way, I do genuinely feel for whenever All Might is gonna be forced into retirement, rather than expect it to be undone in two chapters.

It's already inevitable, as he already said.
It's gonna be a slow process and the threat is legitimately always there, and I believe the writer could pretty much do it at any moment.

Well, Todoroki's name DOES have characters for 'burned' and 'freezing', so I wouldn't be surprised if all his siblings share the same name, but with different readings.

Yeah It's a thing Bakugou did because he started learning more advanced Japanese characters (i forget which kind is more complicated) before the other kids, and Midoriya written in those characters can be read as Deku.
It doesn't really have a direct analogue in English.


The closest thing would be letter replacement. Like Clancy->Fancy, or maybe name shortening like Richard->Dick,
