I'm starting to think that Mirio won't die, but will too cautious at a critical moment and gives the villains a great advantage. Then Deku will push through to save the day at risk to himself. Nighteye is seeing the Mirio's technical prowess as the reason he should have been All Might's successor, but both he and Mirio have quirks that require precision use and have conditioned them to be too risk-averse, which is something you need less of when using OfA. Deku has that willingness to jump in, and once he fully masters OfA, he'll be much better suited to that.

We the readers have already been shown that Mirio has more in common with the idealized version of All Might that Nighteye wanted All Might to be, and that Deku is more similar to the Symbol of Peace that All Might envisions. Whether or not All Might's idea of a Symbol of Peace as it stands - that of one unbreakable, unblemished being - is sustainable for society going forward remains to be seen, but Nighteye's way will probably not be the answer.

All Might never said that Deku is similar to the Symbol of Peace he wanted. Just that he picked Deku and belives he will be able to do stuff he can't Though he did state earlier after meeting Mirio that yeah had he not met Deku first and given One for All to him, he probably would have picked Mirio. But as he also stated guys like Todoroki and Mirio are going to become great heroes anyway.

I never claimed All Might ever stated anything to that effect (well, he told his mom that he truly believes Deku will replace him). It is their actions that speak, and Deku has shown to act more like how All Might would.

This statement is why I don't think it's necessary for Mirio to get owned or whatever to prove Nighteye's assessment as wrong. If All Might had picked Mirio, Deku wouldn't have been able to become a hero due to being quirkless. All Might picking Deku allows both Mirio and Deku to be good heroes, and Deku proving himself as a wonderful hero should be enough to prove to Nighteye the correctness of All Might's decision independent of Mirio getting wrecked or not.

Well they don't think Deku needs to be a Hero, they think he needs to be the Hero, and that's probably where Nighteye believes he has a point. There's no doubting that en-quirked Deku and Mirio would both become heroes, probably quite good heroes, but All Might and Nighteye are still working under the assumption that One for All's owner needs to be a pillar of justice and not just another highly ranked hero. Of course we know from the very first bit of text in the manga that Deku becomes the best but Nighteye's worries aren't without merit; right now he's just a spirited kid who keeps destroying his body and is something of a pushover at times, whereas Mirio is charismatic, muscular, and talented.

I don't know that All Might is working under that assumption anymore. He willingly took a job as a teacher at UA, which implies he's got an understanding that present day hero society only works if there's a goodly number of competent heroes with the proper education. If he simply wanted to create another Atlas-Carrying-The-World Pillar of Justice, he could have very easily taken a more reclusive, one-on-one approach like Gran Torino does. The reveal of his true health condition to the public after the AfO fight should also push him away from that theory of heroism, since it revealed the crippling weakness of a society that depends on one individual for stability.

I wonder how Mirio's power would have blended with All-Might's? A super-strong guy who can't be touched would be pretty awesome.

I kinda wonder how any quirk with OFA would work; the idea is that the original quirk lets you stockpile accumulated power and it fused with a quirk that lets you pass down your quirk, so would any future Mirio successors have super strength + intangibility?

I don't think so because it's hinted or possibly said that Nana had her own Quirk already, also it'd mean that every previous OfA user was Quirkless and I'm not sure that's likely.

EmmyOk posted:Sure but most likely he has to activate it which gives Mirio the advantage of knowing when he'll be tangible. Or if it's like Shigraki's where only his hand can activate his ability he wouldn't even be able to time when Mirio punches him from behind or wherever. He's completely blind when he does it afaik, all it takes is Overhaul doing one unexpected thing and he'll go to pieces

Overhaul is gonna pull a JoJo and rip his arm to hit Mirio outside of his expected reach.

All Might doesn't say he definitely would have picked Mirio. He just thinks that Mirio could have been the one he picked- he doesn't know anything about him otherwise since they never met. I don't really think the takeaway here is gonna be "Well Midoriya is just as good a choice as Mirio". Midoriya is better than Mirio. He's going to have been the superior choice. Full stop. He has something that Mirio doesn't- namely the mental/emotional component that Nighteye himself admits he couldn't understand. This shortcoming has to be acknowledged, and I'm not sure where this happens other than Mirio failing somehow. Deku showing him up is basically the same thing.

It seemed like a pretty big jump from being weird and getting punched in the nose to going batshit insane, but as always i think the rough TL had a lot to do with that.

I'm catching up with vigilantes on the VIZ site and just reading chapter 2, seems pretty clear this punching guy will have no Quirk. Maybe that was stated already? He's fighting Aizawa currently and Aizawa is wondering if he has a durability Quirk so I don't think it's been stated if he's Quirkless or not. I reckon he's just a hardy lad who knocks the head off punks. e: lmao goddamn just cracking a dude with a brick is so gangster

Or she can REALLY QUICKLY dissolve her body into bees in response to an attack. Transforming an eye and part of her head into a mess of bees to limit the damage of a knife going into her body, and then reforming those organs once the knife is pulled out. We really don't know the specifics of her quirk, it's supposedly 'call and command bees' but she also takes damage when the bees are killed, so they're clearly linked to her in some way.
