Ytlaya posted:Unrelated to this chapter, but I was just thinking that the Class A guy who becomes 5x as strong when he eats sugar has an extremely lovely quirk. Like, we've seen a bunch of other characters who seem to have similar (if not greater) amounts of super strength, either due to monstrous forms or gigantification or just regular super strength. Deku already seems to be capable of at least 5x normal strength without any downside to speak of, while sugar dude has to pay the cost of becoming stupid just to increase the duration of his ability beyond a few minutes. It would be one thing if it increased the power (at least then he could conceivably become absurdly powerful in exchange for becoming dumb), but he's strictly limited to a relatively modest increase in strength as far as strength-increasing quirks seem to go. I think every times he eats 10 grams of sugar increases his strength along with extending the duration for 3 minutes.

Why would the adults do the dumbest most unsafe thing tho.

MonsterEnvy posted:I think every times he eats 10 grams of sugar increases his strength along with extending the duration for 3 minutes. Ah, the wiki just said it increased duration. Even if it continues to increase the strength, the stupidity is a pretty bad side effect. 3 minutes is also really short for any sort of longer operation. He would basically be completely incapable of doing anything that requires more than like 10-15 minutes of action (like, say, this current arc). I guess it partly depends upon how fast he "resets." Like, it's not clear if eating sugar and then eating sugar again 10 minutes after the previous "sugar rush" wore off would continue to make him dumber. edit: The animal commanding guy, on the other hand, would be pretty powerful if he outgrew his fear of bugs. Just carry a box full of bugs on his back and he would have a very powerful attack against anyone who doesn't have the ability to quickly eradicate a swarm of bugs (in addition to being extremely good at spying).

consider that the forced utilization and endangerment of a child for their quirk isn't just a bad thing, but that half the reason this whole raid took place was to put an end to such a case

I mean, Eri would probably volunteer to try and "fix" Mirio and Nighteye. What I doubt is that she necessarily can.

A position entirely comprised of individuals who would never dream of treating kids harshly or abuse them to make sure they are as strong as possible. Especially the current number 1, he'd never stoop so low as to harm a child. And I don't care about the heroes using or not using Eri's power, but the fact that it's being presented as reality warping opens the door to the kind of power creep that can ruin stories, and to which shonen mangas are very susceptible. I trust Horikoshi, since he's avoided the most common pitfalls until now, but this is a big one, and I'm worried it leads to a substantially different (and in my opinion, worse) story than what it was promised by the previous arcs.

You cannot simultaneously attempt to use her as a tool and be looking out for her best interests. The fact that "heroes" would be the ones using her doesn't change that. Forcing her to use her power is still keeping her in the situation where she suffered her abuse, just with gentler manipulation. Also, lol at hiding behind the "hero" title to justify horrible poo poo. Stain was right.

I'd like Eri to temporarily end up with the kids in the dorm if for nothing but a short cute SoL thing where the kids spoil Eri and we get some more background on her and maybe see what she's like when she's not being physically and emotionally abused constantly. Like if you have to cram something sort of maudlin in there to make it more poignant (basically where the kids realize just how hosed up Eri and her life was, but that it's going to get better now) there's plenty of good cape comic stuff for Hori to tribute (like the Lying Cat scene with the little girl from Saga, etc). Housing her at UA would be a solution that makes sense- with the kids, probably not. As a PLACE though UA is pretty safe: surrounded by heroes and hero candidates, built like a fortress, lots of space separating her from public spaces. The kids being numero uno on the VA's hitlist would make putting her with them not a super safe solution; psychologically it might be good for her to live with/around the people who saved her so she can feel safe/reassured after living in a nightmarish hell for her whole short existence. Reality is that her Grampa might get cured and take her, or she'll magically vanish into Japanese CPS.
