Who knows though with these translations.

SKULL.GIF posted:I thought the quirk erasing bullet was more about his ideological beliefs to try to eliminate Quirks from society. He wanted to use it to take down the hero society that led to the Yakuza's fall from grace and the rise of villainy. If the Yakuza control the flow of powerful quirks in the world by selling to selected people to allow them to erase others, then they're on top of the world. It was less ideological erasure of quirks and more the solution to the impetus that weakened the reputation and presence of the Yakuza.

Two Tone Shoes posted:I dunno they both seem to fall under the full metal alchemist powerset to me, just with different limitations. And one of Ed's most notorious scenes is making a giant cannon out of the ground because there's usually actually enough random stuff around, in the ground and atmosphere, to make whatever thing you can think of. Overhaul isn't as genius at chemical compositions and stuff like Momo and Edward, and doesn't need to be with how he uses his powers (he dedicated his life to synthesizing a quirk erasing bullet instead of learning the chemical composition of a flash bang), but they have a similar function. I could perfectly imagine Overhaul's power allowing him to make a cannon, as per your example. Ed can actually transmute stuff into different substances. Overhaul can't, he can reshape stuff and alter it, but he can't change what it is. If he altered stone to create a cannon, it would not work as he would lack the means to make it ignite and fire.

MonsterEnvy posted:Ed can actually transmute stuff into different substances. Overhaul can't, he can reshape stuff and alter it, but he can't change what it is. Ed still needs the ingredients. That's kind of the point of him listing out the average contents of a human body when he goes to revive his mom. He can't turn lead into gold and he couldn't turn his arm into something cold resistant (needed Winry for that). He just derives and creates stuff from his surroundings, exactly like Overhaul does. FMA alchemy, Ed's atleast, is explained as disassembling and reassembling which...is the exact definition of Overhaul's power. That was kind of my point with the cannon thing, you "disassemble" everything in a large enough area and you find enough nitrates, carbon, and sulfur to make powder and flintlock device to ignite it automatically. Momo and Overhaul both conjure poo poo that wasn't there a moment ago into something new. Overhaul's is more rangey, aggressive, and can affect other things, but Momo trades that for circumventing needing specific ingredients outside of her own body. I know they're not exactly the same but I think they function very similarly. I get you disagree and I'm kind of tired repeating myself and my thought process. I'm calling it a day.

Manatee Cannon posted:ed did turn lead into gold that one time I think it's possible to transmute elements, they just have to be (the vague sounding) of similar "attributes", presumably rocks/coal/lead is similar enough to gold or whatnot. It's clearly possible since it was one of the specific things the alchemists were banned from doing (which includes human transmutation).

Jose posted:Momo would make a really good batman style character The problem is that what Momo really needs in order to shine is a Jojo's style "clever use of bizarre powers" fight, and those are actually really, really hard to write. (I think that's sort of what the anime was aiming for with last season's filler fight; the one with tea-drinking-genius girl. It just wasn't all that good because, well, it's hard to write.)

Luckily once Recovery Girl gets her results back she'll break the news that Momo's family have worked so hard to hide from her. Her life is a lie. She doesn't have organs, bones, nerves, or blood. She's a facsimile of a human raised as if she was just a normal girl with a quirk. Now she can use her true power and stop fearing having her bones broken or losing a limb. She'll become just as difficult to destroy as the Iron Giant since even if you cut her in half she'll just mold herself back together afterwards.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Wait what? Did I miss something? The Singularity isn't some event that's gonna make everyone's quirks go nuts, it's the theory that quirks keep getting stronger every generation so eventually they will become too powerful to control or something. Right? Did I misread that? Genuine question, not being a dick. That was also my interpretation. This also, at least partially, explains how kids in what amounts to their freshman year of high school have quirks on-par with the current top heroes.

I think people are just getting confused by two things in this manga being referred to as the singularity. The phenomenon of quirks gradually getting stronger, and One For All gaining the ability to make use of all the quirks attached to it.

With his arm, he pulls the carbon out of the steel to the surface to make it harder.

There is someone whose quirk is literally "Is Goddamn Godzilla" I don't really see how quirks can ever really get weirder than that. "Is Goddamn King Ghidorah"?

The people that should have real trouble are people with quirks that are naturally really destructive. Like for any real fight Mina is gonna be doing a lot of property damage when she's a pro.

It seems like Horikoshi's plan is to have her get better just by becoming more confident in herself and trusting her instincts more. Her quirk is broken as poo poo if she can get over her own mental hurdles. It's actually not a bad way to gate off her progression.

Her quirk is broken as poo poo if she can get over her own mental hurdles. It's actually not a bad way to gate off her progression. The impression I got from her fight in this arc was that she has become confident in her ability to plan and make decisions on how to direct/help other people but she still doesn't have confidence in herself in a 1v1 still. Her big change should be IMO to end up in a similar situation but instead of being "Welp my quirk isn't as well suited to direct combat so I'll try to help my teammates as much as possible before I get beaten", she squares up and wins in a situation where she's at a disadvantage.

The next time Momo gets in to close combat, all she really needs to do is grow some spikes, knives, brass knuckles with spikes, etc and then dope them all with some kind of paralyzing toxin. Or she could just make some kind of aerosol explosive that spews some nonlethal agent everywhere and then make herself a gas mask. Or make a whole bunch of trip wires and mine the whole arena with claymores. There are like a million relatively simple ways she could destroy pretty much anyone in a 1v1 fight, and the only reason we haven't seen it is because Horikoshi is stuck on the really dumb thought process of "smart people have to make complicated schemes to solve their problems".
