He should attach blades to his limbs and zoom around cutting the tendons in the legs of his opponents.

edit: Also add a stylized fin to his back and change his hero name to Street Shark.

Holy gently caress, is Hori implying that Overhaul is taking Eri apart and reassembling her for this process?

Yeah, the looks on their faces and then that panel with them absolutely alone and isolated, realizing what had happened, was just intense as hell. It gave me chills.

Yeah I had been zoning out since it was a lot of dialogue and then I read those lines and was like "wait but does that mean" and then deku, mirio and I realized it all at the same time and it was like, dang

Huh, I'm normally pretty obtuse, but I was able to catch on that it was her blood that stopped quirks pretty much as soon as they showed overhaul bringing his bandaged daughter into the lab that looked like it was meant to dissect her.

Was I actually displaying keen insight, or was it fairly obvious? I'm going with the latter.

I dunno, I just assumed they were taking her blood or she was naturally sickly or some poo poo, because Jesus Christ the actual reality is horrifying beyond belief.

Holy poo poo what a great chapter. Mirio and Deku realizing what happened and doubling down on their resolve, and Sir backing them up got my super hyped up.

It's a matter of in-story and out-of-story knowledge. We had already seen the information that everybody gets in this chapter, so we had already connected the dots. For readers the chapter is a confirmation of theories already formed, but to the hero group the information is being freshly presented.

Why would she have bandages on her arms if Overhaul was using his quirk to remove her blood?

I think he's taking it out the normal way and using his quirk to make the bullets.

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
You don't need a special "reassembly" quirk to take a blood sample. Overhaul is not repeatedly atomizing her.

If he just needed her blood he'd just use a needle and keep her much happier and less inclined to escape. He needs the flesh too, I'm guessing.

Possibly but the way it was specifically said where they mention his quirk's ability to take people apart and put them back together AND how the bullets contained both blood and human cells, along with the seemingly extensive equipment we saw back then gave the implication to me that Overall was literally disassembling Eri for lots of human tissue, and then putting her back together.

He did some horrifying poo poo to the low-rent gangbangers he ran into and then they were alright after he put them back together.

I mean, would you get more material for bullets simply by doing regular transfusions- or if you had the ability basically rendering most of Eri's body down to human slurry and then reassembling her?

It's really jarring when you move between scanlations like this. Eight Precepts of Death and Eightfold Cleansers are nothing alike and the former sounds so much cooler.

No kidding. Someone with knowledge of Japanese should post what the original name is, and what would be the closest translation.

No, yeah, that made me pause and do a double-take as well. And not just because Eight Precepts of Death is way cooler and more metal and actually, y'know, sounds like a villain cabal. Eightfold Cleansers sound like a cleaning company or a laundromat or whatever.

I also like Eight Precepts of Death because it sounds like it could be the title of a 70s martial arts film.

No, he needs to die, very soon. Preferably after having hot water thrown on him and then crushed with a hammer.

It was stated at the end his Chin does not harden as much.

Though to be honest I though he was not exploding the girl to do this as much as he was creating the bullets out of chunks of her arms and legs.
