To clarify something. The episode is mentioned in the manga when they're discussing what they did for work experience.

Lord Koth posted:
I don't really remember the specific episode in question, but this kind of thing is one of my real pet hates of filler content. The characters can never undergo any real character growth or experience any personally significant events in filler material, so it usually either ends up boringly recycling a previous conflict that the character should be past by that point. Or it echos something the writers know is coming up in a future story in a way that blunts the impact when it shows up for real.

I don't really need every single event to be some character growth thing so I'm not really understanding the hate towards filler stuff outside of the point that it isn't material written by the original author and not intended to be a part of the story. If it wasn't for knowing something is filler I would be fine with an episode now and then just letting the characters breath and spend more time with them.

I like the Froppy solo adventure because it's exactly what's advertised, a Froppy solo adventure. Wasn't all that exciting, but well... that's work experience. She got work experience in a real villain incident and solidified her character by refusing to stand down in the face of an enemy threatening a colleague. I hate the episode that passed because it was 10 minutes of nobody looking good. Them wiping away their sweat as they meet up with Todoroki in the break room looking psyched made those 4 look cooler than the actual episode did.

You get to the point of asking why we don't see people whose works manifest as acid blood, killing them instantly and the answer is that quirks are the machinations of a cruel God (Horikoshi)

It's basically been extolled before that quirks start off pretty weak in infanthood, with the child attaining some level of resistance/immunity as they grow up with the quirk and it gets stronger. The reason no one freaks out (well, much) at Deku's quirk smashing his body up is because there's an expectation that a late bloomer like him would have poor resistance to his own quirk.

The thing is that someone like AfO or Eraserhead can take or disable a quirk, rendering someone a 'normal human' - their quirk is distinct and separate from their humanity.

can all for one steal a mutation-type quirk? if all for one stole froppy's quirk, would she turn into a normal human girl? as i recall, eraserhead's quirk just straight up doesn't work on mutation-type quirks, so i wonder if all for one has any similar limitations

Think about the resistances as secondary mutations, similar to Tokoyamis bird head. Even if Mina or Bakugo loses their quirks, they would still have resistance to acid in case of Mina or super tough palms in case of Bakugo.

Despite what Onmi said, the answer is that we just don't know. Could he steal a heteromorphic quirk? In theory, sure. in practice, it's up in the air and I wouldn't be surprised if it just never gets answered. He can't steal OfA, so it's not unprecedented for it to not be doable. That is part of OfA itself, though, so that might very well just an exception. We know Eraser can shutdown OfA but not heteromorphism, so they don't have the same rules and limits to what they can affect.

Minor spoiler from the manga. Most recent chapter shows him taking the quirk from a guy who is growing massive fangs throughout his jaw that are ruining his life. AFO takes the quirk instantly returning his jaw to a normal appearance.

He's an insufferable prick and clearly not hero material (yet Deku cannot see this for some reason and still admires him). Why doesn't this superhero school filter out students with sociopathic personalities?

Kurzon posted:Yeah but the emotions of the characters in this show are exaggerated to an incredible extreme that I cannot bear. Because it's better to reform those kids with sociopathic personalities then to simply push them into becoming villains. Roughly 80% of the society being depicted is born with a quirk. Some of these quirks are the equivalent to them being walking M1A1 tanks with no reasonable way to disarm them. So their solution was to make it illegal to use any quirk in public unless they are licensed. They could still use their quirks for self defense but if they harmed anyone else, even in self defense, then that would be an illegal act and they could be sanctioned. This is seen in the anime by the chief of police getting the kids to say that Endeavor took down the hero killer to avoid having to punish them. Even though he was clearly a villain, even though their use of their quirks was arguably all in self-defense, their hurting him with their quirks without being licensed was an illegal action. Gran Torino even lost his teaching license for 6 months and had to take a pay cut because of Midoriya's involvement.. So in the case of Kacchan you have someone very bright with a very strong quirk who wants to be a hero. If you filtered him out because of his personality then you are just handing a strong weapon over to the "enemy". Better is to continue to push him to want to be a hero while making his personality flaws a deterrent to his actually being able to become one. Endeavor is similar in the poo poo personality department yet he is a top hero who has saved countless people even while being a dickhole to both his fans and his family.

Plus he's a bully and a jerk but otherwise a law abiding citizen.Think about how many nice cops you've met giving you traffic tickets or whatever. As many of the characters point out in the show he's actually nearly perfect hero material. The creator mentioned that he regrets making Bakugo such a jerk in the beginning, he was going more for of a ruff and gruff character with a heart of silver or something. But bullying is rough in japan so it doesn't translate well.
