Those kinds of very specific powers would make me nervous to have as a hero fighting supervillains. Like one finger gets hurt and suddenly you are halfway to being quickless.

Maybe quirks are like the brain and can compensate. The condition is "all the fingers one hand" rather than "Five fingers at a time." Once you lose all 10 fingers well you're pretty hosed regardless.

Uraraka owns and I found her tournament fight with Bakugo to be much more emotionally rewarding that Midoriya vs Todoroki was.

Uraraka's fight with Bakugo was incredibly satisfying, especially since, with Todoroki not really trying, she ended up being his biggest challenge, and it forced him to not take her lightly. Midoriya v Todoroki was only satisfying in the overblown use of power type of way typical of shonen manga. Uraraka v Bakugo was the slightly emotional one where you learn something about some characters you might not have been regarding well up until that point.

Idk I think watching someone take the first step to overcoming years of emotional abuse and start becoming who they want to be without worrying about becoming like their abuser while making connections with their loved ones again, all because someone reached out to them without thinking of the consequences is pretty emotional

Also you're probably not in inescapable danger if you get 0G'd even if you're outdoors. Sure, gravity won't pull you down, but you're not frictionless, so air resistance means you won't simply float in a direction indefinitely.

Uraraka is sure lucky her power also shuts off inertia, and not just gravity!

Sure, gravity won't pull you down, but you're not frictionless, so air resistance means you won't simply float in a direction indefinitely. If you're going to be technical, uh, the Earth is moving at thirty kilometers a second and you're no longer bound to gravity which probably conforms you to that so you'd probably be splattered instantly or launched into space or some other brutal instant burger kill. I mean no one has ever actually experienced zero gravity, it may not actually be possible in this reality.

Spiderdrake posted:It's a manga so you're more or less conforming to the rules of the power as the author describes, so if he says it does that, it does that! That would only happen if Uraraka's quirk removed all inertia from an object, which it doesn't appear to (given a bit of fictional leeway - I mean, Uraraka slapping Deku to the side when he was falling wouldn't have removed all his downward momentum since he was falling so quickly, but it's not like it'd be any fun if Deku died so let's pretend she managed it). You'd still be moving at the earth's speed once gravity stopped applying to you, as would all the air around you and everything, so I'm guessing all that would happen is you'd appear to float slowly upwards (since you would be moving in a straight line tangential to the Earth and the Earth would no longer be pulling you down with its rotation).

Except it also canceled inertia to allow her to do her home run attack on Ishida, otherwise she couldn't have swung an extremely massive pillar of concrete. None of the power make any sort of scientific sense and you shouldn't expect them to.

The page of Ochako's character bio where rather than explain her Quirk in detail or her character he just draws arrows to like her cheeks or the pads of her finger and writes "Very Ochako" or "Quite Ochako"

Which arguably does both?  It does't go in depth about gravitational pull, but it sums it up as "effectively weightless". It even gives a weight limit to what she can float. e: Trying to give scientific explanations of superpowers is kind of inherently silly in the first place, so I think this is pretty satisfactory.

Fair point, I guess I was more just debunking the idea that you'll immediately pancake into the Earth or be flung off it gravity suddenly stopped applying to you, since that'd only happen if your inertia was also removed at the same time. Still, despite the fact that these powers obviously won't hold up when properly scrutinised, I do really enjoy how Horikoshi often manages to introduce a touch of science into the manga to add a bit of grounding to things, or weight to certain moments. For example, when it starts raining after All Might manages to change the air pressure with the ridiculous amount of air he displaced with his punch, or when Todoroki causes a massive explosion in the sports festival by heating the supercooled air.

Also yeah the pretense was her powers don't work that way, because the manga/anime clearly doesn't demonstrate them working that way.

Spiderdrake posted:Dude you're moving at 30 kilometers a second with another object also moving that fast and you imagine you'll gently float away. C'mon. You're no longer rotating or bound to the rotation around the sun. I was being tired and stupid and forgot the scale of space, sorry. I was thinking you were saying the earth moves in a line at 30 km/s, not that that's the earth's rotational speed. Thought you were trying to imply you'd just stop moving and the earth would hit you like a bus, not that it would rapidly rotate away from you, in which case you'd appear to zoom away into the sky like you said.

If Ochako removes gravity from things why don't they just float away at an immense speed due to the speed of the planet orbiting the sun!?

Ochako's actual power seems to not be nullify gravity, but reversing it. Nullified gravity on an interplanar scale, or even a galactic scale would be, uh, painful. You'd likely just create a black hole from the mass you'd be compressed into.

Think of it as less "removing gravity" and more like "subtracting 9.8g↓ from the target's local acceleration vector".
