Aizawa's quirk also doesn't lend itself to physical combat per se but he's trained so he can still wrestle with those he can't cancel.

There's an Ectoplasm standing in the corner of every dorm room all 'don't mind me just carry on'.

UA being the greatest hero school with an impossibly huge campus should have single bedrooms for all in their dorms imo. They won't of course but I'd be pissed as a student of they didn't. You can afford USJ and a dozen fake city blocks but I can't get my own room when you're forced to dorm us because you can't stop psychopaths from trying to murder us?

They might also double people up to watch each others' backs and keep things from going all slasher flick.

Having roommates would make the whole thing more interesting. If they all have their own rooms, then what is gonna happen? Some of them will get homesick, Mineta will try to peep (this is a given no matter what the housing situation is). No conflict, no opportunities for characters to interact.

In a reverse magic teacher negima twist, everything up to this point was just a set-up for the manga to shift into an ecchi harem comedy by placing Deku in the female dorm

Slime posted:Here in the UK having your own room is the default and being forced to share is considered weird, and it's not like we have much space. To US universities, I think the consideration is less about space (although cost savings are a big deal obviously) and more about the added safety net. Your roommate knows if you were out drinking last night and didn't come back, your roommate is the first to know if you have a mental break, your roommate is the first to notice if you have a fever of 112 degrees Fahrenheit, etc. Also, roommates are randomly assigned as freshmen. My sisters' first roommate was a self-hating lesbian evangelical christian from Alabama, and her second was a radical Communist from Spain who read Marx like the Bible and was actively studying/planning for a guerrilla revolution. It's hard to put a value on that sort of elbow-rubbing with people of wildly different values and cultures, and in the aggregate it has a major impact on the university's culture.

I shared a dorm room with 3 people (at once) while in the military. My room mates routinely invited their friends over to have sex in my bed and I invested in hotel rooms.

My favourite thing about the Pussycats is that they have super powers and are heroes but they aren't actually supposed to do much villain fighting at all. Sure Thirteen was the first rescue specialized hero but the nature of his power gives him combat potential regardless so he's not really the same as Ragdoll or Mandalay. Basically I really like the fleshed out nature of the MHA universe because the Pussycats are basically Coast Guard while the top 10 are Special Forces.

I wonder whether Endeavour does anything other than beat the poo poo out of villains? His quirk (and temperament) imply a pretty narrow skillset.

I'm trying to figure out exactly what the deal with All Might's muscle form is. He doesn't have the dark outlines or erect hair antennae in flashbacks, he just looks like a healthy/normal person version of his skeleton form. It makes a point to say when he first started doing real heroics no one recognized him even though he himself says heroes always get famous during their youth. And the other two users of All for One have never shown outlines like his that we've seen, nor has he mentioned any kind of transformation Midoriya would undergo. So even though the muscle form seems related to AFO it doesn't seem like a one-to-one relationship, especially since even after he's completely lost AFO he can still do muscle form for short periods of time. So what the hell.

He says his stomach was destroyed in the beginning and that is why he became emaciated. I think Horikoshi just likes using the muscleform as a gag from time to time, and doesn't bother explaining the serious intricacy of why... It was also said that All Might was a natural OfA user...so I think the whole power just 'clicked' with him, while Deku or even Nana struggled with it. It's clear he was a bit of a natural prodigy. I doubt we will ever see a Deku muscle form outside of a joke.... it's kind of not what the power is in the first place, and more about how All Might expended it to keep his outward form despite his impending death. It's a very honne / tatemae thing.

I think Horikoshi just likes using the muscleform as a gag from time to time, and doesn't bother explaining the serious intricacy of why... On the other hand Horikoshi likes being detailed with how things work and why in general. All Might does say the wound and subsequent surgeries are why the true form looks the way it does, but technically that doesn't mean he didn't still have two forms before that, with the true form looking healthy like it did in flashbacks instead... And like I said it would be such a good explanation for how he came "out of nowhere." And I just remembered, we know it isn't because he got the power as an adult because he went to UA, and it might mention at some other point he got it as an adolescent like Deku. And he wouldn't have "come out of nowhere" while he was still in school because of the prohibition on student vigilantism. So all that, combined with the flashbacks, point to him being true form through school and training then being muscle form when he started superheroing for real. I think it would be cool if it was because of One for All, but as a side-effect. Like when you finally master One for All you get the ability to become an epitomized or idealized version of yourself. And we know All Might was a little bit of a fanboy like Deku, but it doesn't say of what... but it was probably American superhero comics, even if we're disregarding his appearance, because of his American place-named attacks, use of English, etc. So of course it would look like that.

i assume muscle form is something he came up with to reduce the impact of OFA on his body and deku being a nerd will figure out another way to do it that doesn't waste x% of power just to make you big.

You know, you make a great point. All Might is a graduate of UA, right? but I don't think he got OfA until after he was an adult... that means that dork kid Yagi just worked his butt off...and he didn't even have a muscle tail like Ojiro.

He definitely had OFA in UA at some point. Gran Torino became a teacher there for one year to teach him because of his connection with Nana and to help him master OFA and all that.

I forgot Gran Turino rolled in. thanks....still, I bet All Might's UA story is hella interesting. I get the vibe he may have got accepted before that... He was also hinted at the idea of evangelizing heroism before it was cool, right?
