Shinso's quirk sounds like it would be hard to write and make interesting. It's pretty much either useless or broken; there's no middle ground. I expect his hero career would be different ways for him to trick people into talking to him and then calmly hand cuffing them which isn't really that exciting in a shounen comic.

I unironically hope that the traitor is someone everyone really likes and Shinsou replaces that person and Mineta is still just there.

Hatsume Mei didn't even make the top 50, so that poll is garbage. Shinso is fine and I honestly don't think he'll be the traitor, if there is one. It's weird that he's in the top 10, but whatever, this poll is bunk anyhow.

Shinso being the traitor would be such a refutation of that character's little mini-arc that it'd have to be executed incredibly well for me to not completely loving hate it

Blockhouse posted:for the record this poll was done midway through the Overhaul arc with the top ten being published in the chapter right before Bakugou and the others meet the elementary school kids I can only hope that Jirou and Mina rocket up the ranks after this arc. Mina was ranked 7th in the American popularity poll, thus making it the only valid one.

It's frankly ridiculous that Monoma, who has one of the best quirks in the series, is in class B while class A has jokers like Satou. Thorn vine girl also had a pretty kick rear end quirk. Shinsou's quirk would be great up until he became famous, at which point it would be useless (or earlier for smarter villains who research their opposition). It basically gives him an automatic win against most people who aren't aware of his limitations beforehand. Realistically, it would make sense to keep Shinsou in storage as some sort of special ops hero only used secretly for very important missions. That way the nature of his quirk would stay under wraps.

As much as the poll annoys me from what I remember people here liked Mirio but didn't -really- start liking him a lot until his big moment in the arc, then that was helped along by his continuing big-brother relationship with Eri. So I can see why he's not high but that still is no excuse for him being THAT low.

i liked mirio the moment he was too POWERRRRRRR for his clothes but that's just me anyway shinsou would probably just not try to get famous. iirc lots of people don't really know who eraserhead is because he intentionally stays low-key because the element of surprise helps his quirk a lot

I disagree that Monoma has one of the best quirk in the series. So many quirks have hidden downsides or details that he'd be at risk of blowing himself up or something if he took an unknown quirk, not to mention a lot of quirks require practice to use effectively. He'd be great in a team but as a solo hero he'd have a really rough time.Terper posted:There's like a billion ways he can be effective though, like disguising himself or talking from a distance through a phone.

The poll was good because Shigaraki and Shouji got much better positions than I would've expected. It's super weird that Mei didn't place at all though.

He'd be great in a team but as a solo hero he'd have a really rough time. We saw him use it during the athletic tournament, and even what he displayed there could be incredibly useful. It gives him immense versatility, particularly if he works with a large team. Assuming the wiki is correct, he has access to a quirk for 5 minutes after touching someone, which is more than enough time for most fights. While he can't use two quirks at the same time, he can presumably alternate between their use (edit: or maybe not; the wiki wording sorta implies this but I don't think anything has confirmed it), and the possibilities for how that could be used are literally endless. With the right team and some creativity, he could do some pretty awesome stuff. The only possible limitation that I don't think has been either confirmed or denied is whether he can "renew" a quirk by touching the same person again after his previous "charge" wears off. If so, then it's undeniably ridiculous, since that would basically effectively make him into a hero capable of alternating between all the powers of his team-mates. If not, he would have to carefully pick and choose when to grab different powers (since copying all his teammates' powers at the beginning of the fight would make him vulnerable after 5 minutes if he couldn't renew the charges). Speaking of which, Monoma during that tournament kind of implies that All for One could replicate the intrinsic physical aspects of powers, since Monoma replicated Bakugou's explosion (which relies on his nitroglycerin sweat).

I'm still waiting for Monoma to try to copy Deku's quirk in a fight and for it to horribly backfire on him and for Deku to spend most of the fight trying to save him from himself instead of fighting him.

Didn't All For One turn his arm into a giant hulk hand with wires and stuff sticking out of it when he used all those super impact quirks to match All Might? Granted we didn't see his bare arm before that so the wires and stuff might be part of his messed up medical care rather than quirk generated springs or whatever. Also, could Monoma use his quirk to copy All For One, and steal All For One from All For One and give it to All Might?

Oxxidation posted:from what i understand a not-insignificant part of the fandom wants him to replace mineta It comes up a lot in fanfic and stuff, yeah. It's pretty easy to understand why--people want him to be in the hero course, people want Mineta to stop being terrible, it's a simple swap. That being said, I don't think it would actually work all that well, because as awful as he is, and as tired as the jokes around him are, Mineta is a comic relief character that you feel good about (comedic) bad stuff happening to. He's the butt of a lot of jokes. Shinsou is most definitely not that, and while his motivations are different, his base personality veers pretty close to Todoroki. If I had to choose someone to swap in for Mineta, it would probably be Monoma (though it does kind of rob Class B of their best gag). If I had to swap someone out for Shinsou, it'd probably be Korda, though I'm not certain what that would look like narratively.

I have to assume it also meant it couldn't be taken back by AfO's quirk, otherwise he'd have had an easy way to deal with OfA a long way back. Does that mean it couldn't even be temporarily stolen by a copy quirk like Monoma's?

That said, after seeing all the damage Midoriya did to himself during the tournament, I can't imagine even he would be stupid enough to want to copy One For All.
