Poltergrift posted:As for Toga's newfound power copying, I suspect it's an issue of Uraraka's power being regulated entirely by her biology, without having to be 'activated.' Uraraka triggers her quirk whenever she touches something with her finger pads, so Toga can do that without having to pull an internal "trigger" she can't copy. She'd probably get the same benefits if she copied Shigaraki. Given how she phrases things, I think it's more like Toga's quirk also works on the same principle as Sylar from Heroes. She has to "understand" how the quirk works to use it as she states she's been watching Ochako and that "love" seems to also acts as a form of analysis. Because this isn't the first time she's shifted into Ochako but there wasn't any indication that she'd also copied her gravity power which as you stated, just requires a touch.

It's really simple. Quirks are genetic. Her quirk lets her use the genetic material of someone to become like them. It's just one extra step to access the abilities that their genetics give them. Which of course means that her ability fizzles against Deku.

I think the thing that might be important to remember later is that unlike Monoma or, potentially, All for One, Toga is actually physically taking in part of the person she copies, not merely duplicating the quirk mechanic itself, so the "can't copy stored power" rule might not actually apply since she has some of the original source on hand, potentially including some part of the stored power, as it were.

Do you think Stain and Vlad King went through similar problems growing up since their quirks are also blood based? Stain is also a violent psychopath, but Vlad King turned out okay.

From the sound of it, Toga did not eat all of Ochaco and Izuku's blood when she transformed into them. Likely just having a lick, so she could briefly use them.

It makes a lot of sense really- I don't think we were seeing what Curious thought was going on but Toga's actual memories. The memories were actual, but I don't think Toga's quirk was the cause for the behavior like Curious wanted to spin it.

SgtSteel91 posted:Doesn’t Vlad use his own blood for his quirk? Maybe that’s the difference Maybe, but shooting out your own blood would still probably freak people out, especially when he's a kid. There's a lot of stigma around "villainous quirks" and Vlad King's would probably be labeled as such growing up. I bet the main difference between them is that Vlad probably had a more supportive family, unlike Toga's who were freaked out by her and kept telling her to "act normal".

Wow, really good chapter. Also surprisingly dark, considering how Hori supposedly disliked how dark the Yakuza arc was. Surprised he went that far in this chapter. I keep thinking about these cameras though. Is Japan going to see Ochaco murking a couple dozen people?

Toga's a horribly dangerous ninja base state without any powers, getting this Quirk Evolution makes her as dangerous as Dabi, possibly as dangerous as Shigaraki. She's one of my favorites of the League of Villains so I'm totally cool with her getting a power upgrade.

Toga looks like she's about to fuckin' die(she won't, but she definitely looks it) and Curious's explosions were explicitly stated to be weak but numerous, making them somewhat less lethal than a 200 foot drop onto concrete.

Toga is only able to use Ochako's quirk because of her intense desire to be like Ochako and be with Deku. That's my theory anyway. I don't think she could use just anyone's ability even if she saw how it worked. That said, this was a hell of a chapter. I haven't said "Jesus loving Christ" out loud while reading a comic since the last time I tried reading something by the NaruTaru author.

Cue a million plots of trying to steal Ochaco's blood. I wonder if staying as one person and using their quirk too much has repercussions for her, like eventually rewriting her own DNA to finally be that person or developing an Ochaco personality that doesn't go away.

Exposes one of the flaws in the Superpower Liberation Army's ideology. While its members have trained their quirks to be strong in battle, they put no value on the idea of heroics or defending the weaker members of society, and thus didn't have the Hero reaction to catch her while she was floating/falling and save her life, despite surrounding her in large numbers as she was going up and then down again.

She thinks of herself and Ochako as kindred spirits, people who are basically the same. Except she sees Ochako and Deku getting along, that Ochako's love is reciprocated and accepted by society, while Toga's seen as a psycho. She wants that. Wants it bad enough to replicate Ochako more than usual. Oh, and it's nice to have more confirmation that the only reason most people are alive is that Uravity hasn't decided to kill them. Bakugo's right to respect her.
