I was pretty impressed with Toga because I'm pretty sure that's the first time we've actually seen someone outmaneuver Eraserhead 1 V 1.

She's one of those people with quirks that can't do direct damage like him, so it's no wonder she's had to learn to fight like a normal just like he has.

I'm curious how she got good enough to do that since she's not in hero school or whatever, she's just a high school drop out that stabs people in alleys.

I'm really curious where she learned all her hiding skills considering it's not her Quirk. On a reread the very first panel she's shown in she's licking blood off a knife in a nice bit of foreshadowing. She's also similar to Stain in that she imbibes blood for her Quirk to work.

Sure but it feels like there's more to them than just being slippery or smart about it. I definitely feel like she has someone who taught her all this kind of thing.

Yeah there's hiding from authorities and then there's going toe to toe with a high level pro hero that focuses on martial arts.

In a world where almost everyone has super powers, you'd have to get real good at fighting to stab people in alleys. Twice is really getting into his role, huh

Fabricated posted:I hope they don't get caught here. They're too useful and fun to be wasted on a scheme like this I was going to say that they could both be Twice clones, but 1) I'm pretty sure Twice has a 'never again' policy on cloning himself, and 2) The math doesn't actually work out--Toga *has* to be physically present, you can't have two Togaclones at once.

Doesn't mean much but I guess this at least confirms that is actually Toga's real form and not a stolen look if someone had that doubt.

the moving walls ability is perfect for letting them escape I don't think twice would get caught here at all since he'd just go to jail. they built up his character too much to throw him away this early so I figure he's gonna get out of this fine. toga tho, she could get taken in. she's a minor so she wouldn't just go to prison and shonen loves to recruit bad guys. tho on the other hand, she could pretend to lose/leave, take out a hero and replace them

I think what's going on is Toga is shapeshifting, then Twice clones Toga-in-disguise. Repeat with different blood each time, and you could give the appearance of the entire villain alliance being there.

She's also been with the VA for a little while now so it's possible she's been getting training from more experienced villains. Like, a villain school. Raising up fresh new villains just like the hero schools raise heroes.

Shigaraki just stated in this chapter that both Toga and Twice are important to his plans. Manatee Cannon posted:she's a minor so she wouldn't just go to prison and shonen loves to recruit bad guys. I think she would go to a facility of some kind. She is a serial killer and this world is kind of realistic with the law.

I think if any villain gets some form of redemption, it's going to be Twice; he's probably the only one I could see actually going for it (mmmmaybe Spinner, but we haven't seen much of him). I mean, he'd still go to jail, but I can see him getting a reduced sentence in exchange for being brought out from time to time to clone a hero for some kind of big operation like this one.

Toga is probably not being recruited by the good guys before she gets like an actual fight with Uraraka or before she gets to use Deku's blood or before she gets to actually like do anything for the VA. Or probably ever since she is a crazy murderer and is kinda being pushed as one of the central members of the villains. Also as the chapter says the current villain alliance values their members and I think that's probably reciprocated at least from the more outwardly friendly people like Twice or Toga.

I like Toga a lot, actually. Mostly because she looks batshit insane, hurts people she loves and seems to be pretty complex as a character.

Toga's cool. In general I like the VA dudes and I want to see more of them interacting and stuff. It's going to be cool when Overhaul tries to use this internship to teach Shigaraki to treat his team more like disposable pawns and Shigaraki instead kills him and learns the opposite.

Twice either gets sorta redeemed, or he gets some really insanely sad death scene where he gets mortally wounded and is genuinely happy as he's dying because it means he was real.

I really want Twice's character arc to end with him realizing one of his clones actually escaped the clone massacre and became an entirely separate individual or something. Just really want them to take the existential crisis that come with that quirk up to eleven.

So does Toga pick up combat really fast? She couldn't cut Uraraka very deep with a full-on surprise attack and gets subdued with basic CQC. Just now she man-handled Aizawa and punked the B-lister pro.

Clearly Uraraka is just better and stronger than these two.

Uraraka had like, an entire week with the pro hero Gunhead, so clearly she's also an expert in CQC now, and thus narrowly losing to her is no great shame for fellow martial arts master Toga.

Isn't the implication Aiwaza and the rest of the group are exhausted from trying to survive fighting the crushing room guy? Also he may have been surprised she is so quickly capable of getting over her quirk being nulled. I feel like there was a point in the one arc about how a lot of his foes are just so baffled when their quirks stop working they're easy prey. She, on the other hand, appears to give no fucks about being suddenly naked and powerless.

Yo don't diss his power. Locking an object in place can be extremely useful for containment, crime prevention, rescues, making barriers, etc. Anything that could use an instant wall, floor or barricade is fair game, dude just needs whatever materials are on hand.

It's kind of a silly power since non-living things that you can touch usually aren't moving around that much anyway, but it's also really cool IMO. Being able to freeze weapons would have been useful had he been more of a major character rather than Toga fodder, and I imagine he could bring things with him to freeze too. I just wonder what the limitations are. If you freeze a cloth in air, could you stand on it? It would break normally, would that count as moving? If it wouldn't, would that make it bulletproof? It'd make for a good platforming game power I suppose.
