Since the Fourth of July is coming up, something occurred to me. Boku no Hero Academia was born on July 7th in Japan. I know Horikoshi is on twitter ( https://twitter.com/horikoshiko ); would a bunch of you guys be up for sending a bunch of All Might fanart, and tweeting it at him for a big ol' American birthday? I plan on happily contributing. hell astro course fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Jul 2, 2016 |

Dreggon posted:is that one girl really depressed because the guy stole her quirk? imagine losing your sight, and the ability to continue doing the thing you've voluntarily, happily spent your entire adult life doing actual literal depression is almost definitely in the cards she seems pretty heroic though so i imagine she's not entirely out of the game, probably just going to become central/hq support for her team or something.

It also hit hard because she seemed the most happy and upbeat of the crew. Also, I really love how they've actually used the Pussycats for something more than just a group of characters to move the plot along. Tiger helping out during the huge battle, Ragdoll having her quirk stolen and Kouta's letter coming back not once, but twice. They are fun characters and I hope we get to see more of them going on. Ragdoll should join up with invention girl and become their Oracle or something. Mulderman fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Jul 3, 2016 |

Ragdoll used to be able to view and track up to 100 people at a time. The analogy to losing her sight is pretty spot on.

I think she could only track their locations and not anything else. Probably for the best that her quirk is taken off the table for now, as that would make dealing with either the ua students or the villain alliance really simple.

If AFO took Tsuyu's quirk, would Tsuyu become a normal girl or would she still be froglike?

Probably for the best that her quirk is taken off the table for now, as that would make dealing with either the ua students or the villain alliance really simple. Pretty sure she could observe to 100 people, with the information she has including where they're at and their weaknesses. It seemed like a pretty powerful support ability and probably gave her a different perception of reality than normal people. So losing it is probably rough as poo poo since her sensory input is likely changed as a result. While probably mostly visual in nature, the effect is probably closer to losing your proprioception, or sense of body location in relation to other parts of your body. Especially if you grew up always using the power to at some level monitor friends and family. Imagine how that would gently caress with you if you just always knew where your, for instance, your mom was and how she was doing and then suddenly you had no idea. If you never had to deal with what every other child does when they first lose sight of them mom, but now you suddenly did 20 some odd years latter.

From Chapter 72 Guess she actually has to see someone before she can use her quirk on them. Knowing the down low seems to imply that she also knows what your quirk is, or at least how it works, since location and weaknesses are just some of the things she knows.

Every quirk is completely useless for a41 right now, because he is out of the story for a bit while Shigaraki and Deku grow and clash. But think about it, he could use it to hunt down every pro hero once he is out. No one could escape.

Any sort of perk that replicates a sensory function is absolutely crucial for All for One, perhaps more essential than any other perk in his possession, and I can imagine Ragdoll's perk serving in that role along with the infrared sensing perk he was leaning on before.

I think the idea is that, if that translation is right and it requires you to see things ("the folks these eyes have spotted") in order to track them, it's not especially useful to him now, what with his lack of eyes. Of course, given that he stated that he took her power because it was so useful, I'm not sure that is the case there, and I don't remember the other translations mentioning the eye thing.

Yeah, I'm not assuming someone else has it, myself. I'm just saying what I think that poster was trying to get at, since a lot of people seemed to be missing that and I actually didn't realize at first either. At the moment I don't think AFO's given powers to anyone besides the Noumus recently, given the general complications with said power bestowment.

noumus are more reliable. a41 doesn't really have enough soldiers to risk ruining them. we know he has a plan for giving shigaraki more quirks, but if he isn't taking everything he sees for that purpose then there must be a limit to what shigaraki can handle. i believe that one line about best jeanist was the only time a41 ever mentioned the subject of granting quirks, even.

It's just a drat useful quirk all around. Best Jeanists quirk is powerful, but that's because he trained with it. You can slap Ragdolls quirk on a random mook and have him stand on the sidelines pointing out weaknesses. Ease of use was probably a large factor here.

It also combines extremely well with telepathy, since that allows the information to be disseminated across a team instantly. The Pussycats were probably a pretty terrifying team; Ragdoll could track villains and identify their weaknesses and tell all that to Mandalay, who could relay that to the other two (while also psychically harassing the villains like she did Spinner), with neither of them needing to be anywhere the villains could get to necessarily. Pixie-bob could then make her earth monsters wherever the villains are or attempt to open a sinkhole beneath them or whatever, and Tiger could... Use that information to find the villains and beat the poo poo out of them, I guess. He really is the odd one out of the bunch in nearly every way. On a tangent, while this observation originally had me thinking that it's a good thing AFO didn't get Mandalay's power too, telepathy in and of itself would probably be a really scary power for him to get. Imagine someone that evil and intelligent being able to mentally communicate with whoever he wanted; the guy's probably already capable of Hannibal Lector-ing people without them not being able to walk away or otherwise block him out. Or, on the earlier topic of him bestowing quirks, Shigaraki with that power would probably be pretty awful too, though possibly in a somewhat different way.

He's not just a bruiser, he's also got that stretchy limbs quirk, which has to make him a very capable tank for things too fast for the earth beasts to handle.

Ah, right, I forgot about that. Yeah, their powers are even better for that then, with all four directly contributing to such things. Tiger's quirk is still the odd one out due to being physical modification as opposed to the others having ranged, mental(-ish, in the case of Pixie-bob's earth manipulation) abilities, but it definitely makes more sense now that you bring that up. Serious Frolicking posted:all of their abilities were very well suited for search and rescue. tiger was probably the best fighter of the group, given mandalay and ragdoll's poor showing. Well, Mandalay captured Spinner herself. Deku broke his sword and then her and Tiger beat up Spinner and his ally when Spinner went all Stain-fanboy, but she seemed at least reasonably competent in that area.

Mandalay probably got taken out by a surprise attack. Magne's ability is really good for those at long as you're within 4.5m. Just imbue the opponent with magnetic force, imbue your weapon with the opposite force, and then let science do its thing. Oh wait poo poo I was thinking of the wrong character.
