Aizawa got a pretty extensive backstory flashback in the Vigilantes manga just recently that puts a lot of how he acts into context. Vigilantes is very good and I recommend it highly.

This makes me wonder all the more what would happen if Hagakure's quirk got shut off.

Fabricated posted:I think maybe the quirk-killer bullets might work on Hagekure but Aizawa's cancellation doesn't. Hagekure's invisibility isn't her actual quirk, but a heteromorphic feature. Basically like in the same way that Aizawa cancelling Tsuyu or Tokoyami or Ojirou's quirks doesn't make their heteromorphic traits disappear. Yeah her actual quirk is light manipulation or something like that.

Spiritus Nox posted:Oh hey, look at that, the text explicitly validated Deku's instincts to save Eri and explicitly categorized Mirio's play to wait for a better moment as a mistake - albeit a reasonable one brought on by lack of intel. Who could have predicted I'll take my victory lap now.

Aizawa's quirk doesn't work on Hagakure because he can't see her.

I liked this episode, even if it was all exposition and emotional drama. It grounds the superheroics in a good way.

What she looks like actually gets brought up in the My Heroine Academia spinoff, where she describes herself as looking like Yang Guifei and Francis Xavier mashed together. This is not a particularly helpful description.

If she really wanted to know what she looked like there's always the Extraordinary Gentleman's Invisible Man Method, special face paint/cream to at least see the shape by covering the face.

I think Horikoshi said in an interview once that Hagakure was one of the prettiest girls in the school, you just couldn't tell because she's invisible.

Given that Leech was just introduced to the series, it struck me how MHA is the idealistic future the X-Men never got. Things worked out like Xavier always wanted where "mutants" came to be accepted by Humans.

Fabricated posted:The problem was that the X Gene only expressed in a tiny part of the population vs MHA's 80% of new births after whatever the advent was. I asked about that when I got into the series and somebody said it is just a conceit of the story. Having seen the anime up to this point, I agree. There is no possible way to "explain" how all he myriad Quirks we've seen can have a common source. Mutants are almost mundane by comparison to all the weird poo poo people in MHA can do.

X muties can do some really wacky poo poo but that's mostly due to cape comic writing letting powers get extrapolated into insane poo poo. Cyclops went from eye lasers to shooting kinetic energy to having his eyes be portals to the punch dimension.

For only 20% of the population, normies sure do make up most of the crowdshots.

The doggy/cat kemonomimi girls from an episode or two back made it in but you missed out on a bipedal rooster guy. Also the mall shot from the second season was missing some fish people and a family with toast for heads if I remember right.

Quirks became more common over time, and it's strongly implied that there was an extended period of conflict based around them. It's just been several generations in at this point and they're ubiquitous now, so most of the problems have been largely resolved.

Mutants would be headed towards being the majority by now if not for Genosha. And they're 20 years off as things stand. Given the way that Marvel's timeline is condensed, it's actually happening faster in Marvel than it did in MHA.

Also most quirks are pretty small and lame. Also the 80% refers to the general population. Pretty much everyone that is born now has a quirk, it's the older people that don't have as many quirks.

# ? Nov 25, 2019 21:40 |

I thought it was a thing that for the last five generations or so quirks had been increasing exponentially, such that someone Izuku's age being quirkless is rare and someone newborn now being quirkless is almost unheard of.

Are some people's quirks incredibly boring stuff like "my skin gets less itchy than the average person" or something? I kind of figured quirk implied something more... impactful.

Yeah iirc All Might mentioned that quirklessness was more common when he was younger, and the impression I get is that quirks are not a recent enough phenomenon that he could be referring to people born before quirks started appearing.

Deku's mom's power is pretty mundane too; the lightest amount of telekinesis.
