If this is the case then Geten joined a society that would actively encourage this type of poo poo as the whole ethos of quirk libertarians is gently caress those without power.

Reminder that a few chapters ago, Geten was killing a bunch of their own troops while trying to take out Dabi and the Twice army while shouting about "survival of the fittest" and "might makes right" and bullshit like that. If they are related to Rei, then chances are they either approved of Endeavor's methods, or thinks he didn't go far enough.

If this happens, I'm assuming it's not going to be Todoroki who has to take down his lovely auntcle, since that would probably inspire some kind of twisted pride in them.

Alright, I have a theory that I just wanna share that some other people thought at the very least sounded cool or interesting.

It's a pet theory of mine ever since Ujiko was revealed, about Compress's robot arm and a replacement. But what could replace that?

A special Nomu.

The theory was that Ujiko had a special kind of Nomu that could fuse with human flesh/DNA, and add Quirks to a baseline human while integrating with it so that existing Quirks are not affected negatively, and even could be improved.

For example, after transplanting a new arm onto Compress, not only would he be able to use his Quirk with his new arm, but the arm would also be stronger and sturdier than his old one.

With the new reveals of Toga having lost an eye, Shigaraki a few fingers, and even Rikiya losing his legs, I could see them getting transplants to replace them (Rikiya's being a "favor" that makes him more in debt and more of a butt-kisser in the core group's favor).

Endeavor is bad, though. The manga is not subtle about this. What you quoted in that post about him and Rei is what we actually saw happen; it's only Geten being connected that's speculation.

I think his power still depends on spreading via contact. It's just that now it's contagious.

He was still able to do a little bit of injury to Re-Destro with his injured hand. So it's weaker, but it still works.

As long as all fingers make contact, Decay occurs

Overall number of fingers isn't specified

Clearly Shiggy needs to remove all his fingers save one on each hand then go around poking people repeatedly

Yeah but if we use actual evidence from the comic how can we keep saying she's an overrated nothing character who doesn't contribute to the manga?

Tsuyu Haters :frog:

EDIT: note that she has also done more after the hideout raid since she had the best showing in the A vs B matches

Indeed.

Though Creati is a good #2 because she's my favorite unrealistic fantasy trope: Absurdly wealthy person that is actually fun and well-intentioned.

I mean, Quirks are one thing, but my disbelief can only be suspended so far!

Tsuyu also got kicked through a wall by Hank McCoy and still managed to recover win the match. Froppy is tough.

Jirou did well in her match too, and Uraraka was the MVP of the last match while Ashido ended it with a sick shoryuken.

Really, it was only Momo and Hagakure who disappointed in that arc.
