i forget, do the cops in this world pack firearms because that would automatically make them more powerful than like 75% of the quirk-empowered classes

From what I understand Japanese police have guns but don't have the "shoot the gently caress out of anything scary including pet golden retrievers" mentality that USA police do. The criminal justice system in this comic seems WAY more focused on rehabilitation and non-lethal conflict resolution considering it's taking place in a world of super powered crazies. Mustard was powerful with his gun, but it required him to have a quirk which allowed him to obscure sight and also be aware of attackers from all angles. If he was just some dude with a gun you could run up and punch from far away he probably wouldn't have been able to quick draw on the dude with metal skin so easily. That's taking ranged quirks out of the question entirely. Also only professional heroes are allowed to use their quirks to facilitate apprehension of criminals; the police and other civilians aren't allowed to. Remember that most villains feel fairly oppressed in this society which is party of the VA's beef. Eggplant Squire fucked around with this message at 14:09 on May 21, 2018 |

Also remember that we’ve seen that people with creepy powers are treated like potential villains, regardless of their actions.

Gotta also remember this is Shounen World physics, so even your granny could take a few bullets and still be in good enough condition to whollop you pretty good.

Yeah Bakugou's quirk has almost nothing to do with being able to take a beating (other than his body being able to deal with his explosions) and he was thrown around by All Might and crushing concrete and such during that test.

Shigaraki's quirk is disintegration and he's a loser nerd who plays video games, and he closed the gap between himself and Tsuyu in an instant.

I'm honestly kinda curious how Tail guy passed the entry test unless his tail is just THAT strong at smashing robots. That dude is more or less a quirkless martial artist with just an extra limb.

Shigaraki is actually noted as being surprisingly physically fit and fast if I recall correctly; he held his own with Aizawa for a while, after all, even before he zipped across the field trying to murk Tsuyu. He's a weird manchild but he doesn't actually have the fitness of a shut-in nerd.

He has. From the wiki, so no one risks spoilers and I'll spoiler it in case anyone cares: Power 2/5 Speed 5/5 Technique 5/5 Intelligence 5/5 Cooperativeness 2/5 And for comparison Aizawa's: Power 3/5 Speed 4/5 Technique 6/5 Intelligence 4/5 Cooperativeness 3/5

Zero Two was past a hundred by episode 12. Toga's enthusiastic, but she's an enthusiastic amateur. Zero Two's a pro.

I was rewatching the USJ fight and I noticed that Shigechi is actually pretty smart. He's the one who figures out Aizawa's tell for when he activates his quirk, for instance.

The Japanese jail system has been condemned for humans rights violations because they make American prisons look like a resort. The idea of any villain going to prison and coming out rehabilitated is absolutely one of the biggest suspensions of disbelief you have to have for this series.

Oh yeah I've only heard bad things about it from people I know that have dealt with the Japanese legal system. I was talking this series specifically in terms of criminal rehabilitation and treatment which is definitely a lot more ideal than reality.

Bloody Pom posted:And just like that, Ace Attorney being a constant uphill struggle makes so much more sense. Japan only started allowing jury trials in 2009. What you see in the game is practically what happens in real life but a lot less funny since there's no wacky characters to soften it. Basically confessions are treated as absolute iron-clad evidence. If you confess to something you legally did it pretty much, so the whole system is designed to extract confessions which are basically a guaranteed conviction and thus the 99%+ conviction rate. The reason Japan doesn't have a massive incarceration problem is that fines and public service and short sentences tend to be the punishments. Generally though if you try to resist they basically throw you in a lovely jail, barely feed you, then you get roughed up by the police while in custody for weeks until you confess.

I guarantee he just confessed, the police were like "alrighty then", and then they just charged him a fine and chalked up another case solved due to great police work and moved on. I'd bet hard cash he didn't even have to drop a dime on his suppliers.
